Integrating chat with Vbulletin?

How would you go about integrating the vbulletin cookies into a chat room? I'd like to have one on my new boards, where members would be automatically recognized in the chat room with their user names, or be required to log in (I'd love to be able to keep nonmembers out). There is a nice chat hack like this for UBB that I used to use with HearMe Voice Chat, and I'd love to use the same room with vBulletin.

Has anyone done this? I'm sure it's fairly easy- I'll play around with it later this week, but hoping to save myself some time if someone else has already done it.
Thanks,
TigerLily

would you be so kind as to send that to me too, conan! It would be most appreciasted!

Thanks, Conan! I got it up and running this morning with no problems. One thing I'm trying to figure out is how to customize the page the chat room is embedded on. Will have to go read the post for this hack again. Thanks so much for sending it- my forum members thank you too!

It's kinda of a pain, because the hack uses a template called standar_error, which is also a function, so you can't really change it, what you can do it follow the instructions I posted here a while back:

PS. if anyone else still need the hack, email me, and I'll send it to you!

Thanks, Conan! That worked perfectly! What a wonderful community there is here at vBulletin! Everyone is so helpful and willing to share! Thanks a million!

Can someone send this hack to me at zj2307@yahoo.com


thanks - the uploaded one doesnt appear to be there anymore

I'm working on a chat hack as well

Guests might see the page as a bit messed up... I'm working on that too

It works with a webmaster.com service and it's IRC. It would be very easy to set the username as login name but I haven't got around doing it yet. All it does now is take the header and footer as well as the fivelinks and it will display you as online while chatting.
