Integration with vBulletin - ZopIM - One 2 One chat with visitors and users

What is ZopIM?
ZopIM is a one 2 one chat client for your website, it has some pretty nifty features such as

• Allowing the visitor to initiate chat
• Allowing you to initiate chat
• IM intergration, use your IM client to talk to visitors
• Advance Reporting, see where the visitor is live!

It has both free and paid variations.

The way I see ZopIM being useful is to talk guests through the registration process. You can set ZopIM to automaticlly open a chat with an available rep under certain conditions, so for example a repeat visitor might be more inclined to join if you talk to them.

Or

You could allow your members to request your support with more advanced features of your forum or use it to talk to members who have just breached a forum rule.

What Does This Modification Do?

This modification inserts the ZopIM javascript into your forum, you may also

• Enable it for usergroups
• Allow users to turn the bar on and off

Install?
Simple two step xml install. Follow the instructions on my website or in the zip file.

More Features?
Planned..

• Forum/Category Control
• Anything anyone else cares to suggest

I am not endorsed by ZopIM or it's owners, please check the modification is working correctly by viewing your source code after installation

Your link to the readme on your site is dead, would you please add a readme text doc to the zip file so others may read and use this?

Those that posted here have access to cpanel I would assume. Your host should offer free scripts through Simple Scrips, fantastico or what ever your host may call it.
Within it your should see a few different free one on one chat similar to the one posted here but with more features & is free & will be forever. They will have their own admincp.

I don't understand what is so hard about posting installation on VB ORG - This should be a rule....

Hello Nitra,

I understand this is a pretty old thread, but I thought that maybe you read my reply.

I have VB 5 and use Zopim in many websites.

One of the sites I have this working on is a Moodle (LMS) site. A programmer made the plugin to read the user name from the database when they login, so when someone requests my help, i already know their username.

Do you know if something like this can be done and ported to VB5?

Thanks for your help :-)

I managed to install Zopim easily in vB5 putting the Zopim code in the "Header Ad HTML Module".

Another neat feature would be if the code can somehow read the name of the user from the DB (if they are logged in) so you can quickly know who you're talking to as soon as they initiate the chat.

Any ideas on how can this be achieved?

Thanks
