Credit for this should predominantly go to forum users Tim Mousel and Trog for giving me two necessary coding springboards for getting this hack (or is it mod?!?) together - thanks guys!!!!!
I am sure someone has already done this with MultiCity Chat anyway, so apologies for the duplicity - but I thought newbies might appreciate having this feature all the same. Basically, the hack enables you to have a free MultiCity Chatroom integrated with your vBulletin forum. It automatically logs in registered forum users with their member-name, and an error message and login prompt is presented for those unregistered/not logged-in. And when you disconnect from the chat room, it refreshes to the main page of your forum. Step 1. Set yourself up with a free MultiCity chat account at http://www.multicity.com - don't worry about configuring variables such as color and chatroom description on their site, its all editable later. Step 2. Add a new template and call it 'chat_hack'. Step 3. Insert the following code into your 'chat_hack' template, remembering to insert the script code you obtained from MultiCity, rather than what's displayed here. There are a lot of variable parameters for the customisation of the MultiCity chat. Most of these are cosmetic things, but a couple of them are vital for getting the auto-login functions to work properly. So check through my pasted script code here and look for the entries marked with asterixes - these are the configurable options that I tweaked OR added to the default code that MultiCity give you. Note: "AutoLogin" and "AutoLoginName" parameters are essential. Hope that makes sense!!!! PHP Code:
Create a new file and name it 'chat.php', or whatever you need. Place the following code inside. PHP Code:
Upload 'chat.php' to your main forums directory. Step 6. Test the file, and assuming everything is working okay, link into your forums page. I truly hope it works for everyone. It is certainly working for me! Just point your browser to my forums page (http://www.leatherforums.com) and look for the button 'live chat' in the header menu at the top of any page. And if you do register with my forums simply to test this mod, please please PLEASE do the decent thing and contact me to request your account is removed afterwards, okay? Thanks. Show Your Support

When I use the <applet> code in this hack, it just hangs up. Keeps trying to dowload...When I just use the multicity <applet> it's no problem. Anybody have any ideas for me?

This is cool, thanks
![]() 2 questions. How do you get it to show online uses? I do have vb 2.03 and it doesn't show. Is there a code to insert in loggedonusers?. And when clicking on "disconnect" it doesn't go to the forums, just to a part having "guest' on it to log back into chat. |

I very much want this to work, but I can't seem to figure it out. I'll go over the steps I did:
I'm running vB 2.03 1) got a multicity account (free) 2) created a new template and called it "chat_hack" and pasted the code that Mark0380 suggested (of course, I used my own multicity account) Looks like this: Code:

You also need to take a look at some of the parameters that you're specifying near the end of the chat room coding from Multicity. This is what I have:

Thanks Rob,
Can you or anyone tell me if my parameters are correct? It seems most weird that the page is BLANK. Code:

Out of curiosity, has this chat room worked for you before incorporating it into this hack?
