Overview
This extension allows you to fully integrate a SigmaChat Platinum or Enterprise Java? Chat Room with your vBulletin 3.5.x forum system, including the ability to authenticate access via your vBulletin forum system, and provide a "Who's Chatting" page list showing who is currently logged into your chat room.

Requirements

• vBulletin 3.5.x
• SigmaChat Platinum, or Enterprise. Please note that SigmaChat Basic and SigmaChat Professional are no longer supported. You may register for a SigmaChat account at www.sigmachat.com.
• PHP with allow_url_fopen directive enabled in your php.ini file. This is required to download the Who's Chatting list from SigmaChat servers.

What's new?
This extension dramatically improves upon the previous release by making use of the vBulletin Database to store Who's Chatting list updates. Additionally, the Who's Chatting box at the bottom of the main forum page has been removed in favor of showing a (nearly) real-time count of users in your chat room directly from the main navbar. Both embedded and popup chat room options are provided to your user. The Who's Chatting list has been cleaned up. Two additional remote functions (Add Buddy and Forum Ignore) have been added as well.

Features

• Seamless integration between your vBulletin forum and SigmaChat
• Popup and Embedded Chat room link options
• Automatic (one minute interval) User's Chatting count updates
• Real-Time Who's Chatting list
• Display the amount of users within your chat room on your main navbar shown throughout your entire forum
• Remote authentication allows you to authenticate access into your chat room based on your vBulletin user database
• Automatic user login option
• Remote authentication allows you to choose which vBulletin user groups are allowed chat room administrative privileges
• Remote functions system allows you to tie in vBulletin forum functions into the SigmaChat user menu
• Uses the new vBulletin 3.5 XML product import architecture, making installation/uninstallation easier, requiring no modifications to the codebase.
• Improves over previous versions by storing Who's Chatting list within it's own MySQL database table

I tried this and it did not help. My chat integration had been working fine too up until now.

in the status bar it says "load: class client not found"

I've made the changes suggested, and while it works for moderators, my members are reporting they can't type in the main text area, but they can PM. It's like it's a permissions problem.

Anyone got any ideas what might cause that?

Okay I got here via a link from 'addonInteractive' that took over raidersoft/sigmachat. I'm running a licensed vB 3.6.2 (with the class_image.php security patch) and also previously was running what was known as SigmaChat Platinum so it could be integrated with my users table in the d/b. Since this change over of course things are whacky. I tried using the download for the intergration mod HERE but the download isn't there, so clicked the 'mirror' link and ended up here in this thread.
Problem experienceing since the change over:
chat loads from navbar link in forum but doesn't allow any (even admin) logins

if there are any other problems I'm not aware of them because i can't login
any ideas here? contacted 'addonInteractive' but haven't received any response....
