DigiChat Integration V2.0 · **Released**: 04-24-2004

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,

So your existing user accounts can choose a chaticon, but it is not saved. But any new registrations can choose a chaticon and it stays after having selected one? Is this the right description?

Yes.... That's what is happening....... Exactly.....

Try the following:

Please find a userid where the user can not save his chaticon and run this query where xxx is the userid of the user:

PHP Code:


			
select * from userfield where userid = 'xxx';

Then run the same query on a userid where the user can save the chaticon with his userid.

Please post the output.

Cheers,

This picture is of someone who it did work for.... New user that selected an icon on registration.

hmmm, im confused does this hack actually work ?

also how much bandwidth does digichat take, say 50 concurrent users all day?
whats the load like on the server ? i've used digichat before but im finding it hard to host it as vps is just to restricting on how many users you can have, and servers are too expensive. so im stuck.

Hi @LL,

@pagekeeper,

yes, this hack works and it also works with DigiChat 5 / AV. That's the reason why i did not have the time to give 100% support here. We have just upgraded to 5 AV and the hack works fine.

Regarding the performance: As soon as you go above 200 simultaneous chat users, i would suggest to install a separte chat server. But below this number you should not have any problems at all.

@RomeosTune,

as it looks like your icon matrix is not correct. My suggestion: Look at your forum chat profile and the icon you have selected. Right click on it and look up the number. It should be icon29.gif in your case. Then go into your chat and then right click in the chat launcher and open the source code of the chat launcher. In the source code there should be your icon number with 1029.

So either the chatlauncher has the wrong number or in your DigiChat Admin GUI there is no icon 1029. Please check both and then tell me where you are missing your number.

Cheers,

Pseudomizer,

I've been trying to get a hold of Flatliner. Left messages on his phone extension and his email, and I'm getting no reply. I want to purchase Digichat by this weekend, but I also want to take advantage of the offer that he graciously presented to any would-be customer.

Can you help me?

Yes!

I called twice (left 2 messages) and I've sent an email. No response.

I would LOVE to get this program by tonight or tomorrow, so if you can get a hold of him, please tell him to contact me at maddux@realmofinfamy.com.

Thanks Pseudomizer!
