DigiChat Integration V2.0

DigiChat Integration Version 2.0

This hack is no longer supported. I have released DigiChat Integration 3.0.3.

The new hack can be found HERE

This is my update for VBulletin 3.0.x. Sorry for the delay but it took me some time to upgrade to vb3.0.0 and integrate all other hacks + develop my new upgrade hack. :nervous:

What is this hack ?
This hack is a complete integration of the Chatsoftware DigiChat ( which is NOT freeware ) into the latest version of VBulletin 3.0.x. :devious:

What does this hack do ?
This hack provides the ability to offer a complete front-end to the DigiChat software. So if you are running your own DigiChat server or your chat is hosted somewhere else, this hack will provide you for each member a specific profile, settings and whos in chat functionality.

For Admins and Chatmasters i am providing an extra Admin/Chatmaster login depending on their userstatus in your forum and they will get the extra tool to trace IPs from chatusers. Normal users will just see the names of the users in chat and a link to their forum profile. :devious:

Are there many changes to be done ?
No, i try to keep my changes to a minimum and if it is possible not to touch any databases for obvious reasons. So this hack exists of:

- 8 new templates
- 2 template modifications
- 6 file uploads
- 1 php file modification

Do i need version 1.0 or version 1.1 for this hack ?
No. I am providing both. An upgrade path from previous versions and also a new install path for complete new installations.

How long does it take to install this hack ?
If you are familiar with VBulletin and DigiChat it will take about 10 minutes to upgrade and 15 minutes for a new install.

Is there any support for this hack ?
Yes, from me but i will change the way of giving support now. I my previous version i posted my email address and the amount of emails was amazing. The bad thing was that no one shared this information in the thread. Due to this i will ONLY give support to people in THIS thread and ONLY if they clicked on the "INSTALL" button. I am sorry, but my time is limited and answering the same question 5 times via email is not very efficient. I hope you understand this.

Are there screenshots available for this hack ?
Yes. I have included them into the zip file and i will add them in this thread.

How to manage this Chat environment ?
This version 2.0 has one config file which you have to edit before you go live. In the future updates i will add one table to the database which can be edited through the admin panel. This is not really important because the security will not change so often for chats but just in case someone wants to edit this configfile via the Admin CP i will offer this in the next version.

Whos in Chat function does not work ?
Please make sure that you have the appropriate rights and the commander function enabled which produces the output file every x minutes who is in chat. You have to have a license from DigiChat to be able to do that. :tired:

Some words are in german ?
This should not be the case. I developed this on my domain and in german. I translated all the frontend but you never know. If there are parts still in german please tell me so i can translate them.

So enjoy this hack and happy chatting. After installing please click on this install link or on the install button at the top.

UPDATE 2.0.1
I am very sorry, but i forgot to put one file into the zip file. The missing file is the chatlauncer.php for the javascript pop-up to log into the chats. So if you realized that you can only log into the chat with the extra option, then you know why. Again apologize for this. I have uploaded the new zip file and updated the install.html.

For those of you who installed it already just download the zip file and copy the chatlauncher.php into your forum root directory.

UPDATE 2.0.2
I added some bugfixing for the guest template and the chatlauncher.php. Thanks to Randomlove for pointing that out.

For those of you who installed it already just download the zip file and copy the chatlauncher.php into your forum root directory. After this open the template chat_start_guest and copy the text from the install.html file into your template.

Cheers,

[Merjawy]

Thanks again

What are you missing ? Email should not show up but all the rest like exit message, etc should be in there

I understand about the email part and I do agree with that too

what I am missin is the icon.. the user chosen icon will not stay on either way I log in as a member (the 3 option) or as Admin(CM) (first icon used instead)

also for Admin(CM) only home page is there nothing else.. no comment, no exit message, no gender, no choosen icon (first icon used instead)

Thanks for the file I will check it out sometime this week and let you know

I went and downloaded sun java 1.2.2.12 all 3 of them
windows
International
JDK

none want to install but thats no biggie I will figure out why later..

I have the latest SDK installed I beleive 1.4.3 international cuz I also have a voice chat that needs JDK not plain JRE


I will get back to you on that file and how it goes

thanks

Hmm. If DigiChat does not find your icon number which you specified, it will take the default icon. You should check the icon matrix in my php file.

For the other entries i would suggest that you check the additional profile fields. If they do not match exactly in name ( case sensitive ) you will not be able to store anything in the database.

Are you familiar with phpmyadmin or MySQL ? We could check that with some queries if you wish.

Cheers,

[Merjawy]

yeah it won't save my selected icon..

everything seems right for profile fields however I will double check
and yes we I am familiar with phpmyadmin/Mysql I used to host many forums on my local server

btw. I installed that file single_log.php and I get blank page when I go there with no email entered at the end of the URL

if I manualy enter my email it sends me email with the chatter info

I did change the file by inserting the admin's email in the file replacing the variable. and it worked.. but lets see if we can correct it without going that route

[Merjawy]

I am not sure if this is a typo or not

found it in your template mods part of the hack

document.write(" <PARAM NAME=url VALUE='$profil'>");

is that meant to be profil or is it supposed to be profile?

[Pseudomizer]

Hmm. Open the install.html file from my hack and look for this line:

User Profile Field Templates - userfield_textbox

In the text which you have to place in this template from me you can see what the names of your custom profile fields should have e.g.

PHP Code:

<if condition="$profilefield[title] =='chaticon'"> 


Question: Do you see all chaticons etc in the usercp profile from your forum ?

Cheers,

[Merjawy]

I didn't change that.. what I put there is what is in your hack.. and that line is there
all custom field I added are the same as in your install file..

but in my reply before you.. that line is in your install.html for the DC applates, it says profil and I didn't know if that was a mistake or not.. ofcourse I used whatever in your install.html as it is. I just noticed that vairiable and wanted to ask you about it

document.write(" <PARAM NAME=url VALUE='$profil'>");

as for the icons, yes I see all chaticons in usercp

Hello Merjawy,

this is correct. It has to be $profil. I used german variable names. This is the definition of this variable:

PHP Code:

        if ( !$homepage || $homepage == "http://") {
                $profil="$vboptions[bburl]/member.php?s=&action=getinfo&userid=$bbuserinfo[userid]";
        }
        else
        {
                $profil=$homepage;
        } 


What it does ? It checks if your homepage entry field is empty or if the field has "http://" in there. If yes, then it will link all users to your forum profile. If it is not empty it will link all users to your defined homepage from your forum profile homepage. This should be correct and should work.

Question: What version of DigiChat are you using ? What is the URL of your board so i can have a look please ?

Cheers,

[Merjawy]

aha ok I wasn't sure about that.. cool

as I told you I am still running DC 4, not plannin to go to 5 as I have spent alot of money on another voice chat ...

the board using the chat still under going some changes and is not in english I hate to see you go there and not know where to step but I will be glad once I am done with my project to post the URL

Hiya,

I am thinking about doing the DigiChat integration. I am about to buy a digichat license and somewhere I remember seeing something about contacting someone for maybe a good deal on prices? Can anyone help with this?
