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,

Great hack dude. I run www.bahamascope.net and worked perfectly for me. Compliments of the season lol, and thanks again dude, you should contact DigiChat staff and try to integrate your ideas and scripts into their program.

Already in progress. ;-)

Another quick question Pseudomizer,
I have the latest digichat, yet it comes with the documentation for version 4. This is particularly confusing when trying to implement the chat_who function. Here's my current code for my whos_onilne.sh file

/usr/local/java1.3/bin/java -classpath /home/chat/DigiChat_5.0/Commander.zip com.diginet.digichat.commander.Commander users siteID 1000 &> /www/chat/DigiChat/DigiClasses/Resources/Default/stats/digiakt1000.txt

however after this I am getting this error in my digiakt1000.txt file

Could not connect to the DigiChat Server because there is no site with the specified ID.
java.io.IOException: Stream closed
at java.io.BufferedInputStream.ensureOpen(BufferedInp utStream.java:123)

at com.diginet.digichat.commander.Commander.<init>(Da shoA11*..)
at com.diginet.digichat.commander.Commander.main(Dash oA11*..)

Is there a different way to call the siteID variable using the commander function in v5?

Hello Mattster,

i hope you have a typo in your last thread. Java 1.3? The minimum version for DigiChat is 1.4.2_06.

Please upgrade the Java version and then we talk again.

Step by Step. ;-)

Hello,

i do not know who is spreading this information but i am getting a lot of emails from people asking me to provide my hack via email because everything is for free. Who is doing this?

Just to make it clear:

- VBulletin is NOT for free ( Pricing: http://www.vbulletin.com )
- DigiChat is NOT for free ( Pricing: http://www.digichat.com )
- My Hack to incorporate DigiChat into VBulletin is for FREE

Hope this helps to understand everything and to avoid misunderstandings.

Best regards,

[Wential]

Hello Wential,

you can use my hack without any problems. It will work. Regarding your question about when to buy, i have to answer it depends. If you are looking for the AV feature then you should wait 2-3 weeks. If you heading just for the chat itself, then buy it now. Hope this helps.

Cheers,

[Wential]

Thanks!

Hi @LL,

just for your information:

This hack also works with the latest Version of DigiChat 5.1.0.1 and 5.1.0.2. In order to get it running just replace the library versions in the applet code in 3 Templates and in the chatlauncher.php from 5.0.1.x to 5.1.0.2 and 5,0,1,x to 5,1,0,2.

If you have problems with the AV part please visit the DigiChat community board for support. I do not give support in this thread here about the AV part of DigiChat.

Cheers,

Pseudomizer

I'm starting to regret buying Digichat now. I deleted all my old Custom Profile Field Names (ex: field1) but they keep on counting like I never deleted them. I can't get chaticon to be field1, etc....
