[RELEASE] Chat hack .03

This version fixes the problem with username's that are valid in vB, but not in phpMyChat. Add this code to index.lib.php3 right below the line unset($Regs). You can see a demo at http://www.linuxquestions.org (click on forum, then chat).

// Start vB hack version .03
// Please send bug reports, questions and suggestions to:
// jeremy@linuxquestions.org
 
require("/path/to/vB/global.php");
 
if ($userinfo[cookieuser]==1) {
$U = $userinfo[username];
 
// A phpMyChat username cannot have spaces, commas, or backslashes
$pat = "[[:space:]]";
$repl = "";
$U = ereg_replace($pat,$repl,$U);
$pat = ',';
$U = ereg_replace($pat,$repl,$U);
stripslashes($U);

$N = 20;
$D = 10;
$Form_Send = 1;
$PASSWORD = "1";
}
else {
print "To use the chat room you must be a registered user. <BR>";
print "Please register at <A HREF=\"path/to/forum">Site Name </A>";
$U = "";
exit;
}
 
// end vB hack

Does this work with V2?

Many things were changed in 0.14.1 and this script will not work as is.

I got it to work, but not completely. I don't know really where to put the code from Jeremy (customcpu).

I put it on top of index.lib.php and on some other different places..
It logs in allright.. I can chat. But it refreshes the whole chat window instead of adding a line.. And I can only see the messages posted when I send a message. Does someone have a clue how to hack it in order it will work right?

Thanks!
