phpMyChat Integration

This hack will add integrate vBulletin with phpMyChat. It uses some small (but effective) security measures to prevent users from using any username but their own.

++ To Do:
vBulletin files to edit: 0
phpMyChat files to edit: 1 (you must also install phpMyChat)
Queries to Run: 0
Templates to add: 0
Templates to modify: 2
Time to install: 10 Minutes

++ Known Issues
Users with a space in their name can not chat
Username can be bypassed



Enjoy! :squareeyed:

Thanx

you might want to change the erasing of Users in the config.lib.php3

Before:

PHP Code:

// Cleaning settings for messages and usernames
define("C_MSG_DEL", '96');
define("C_USR_DEL", '4');
define("C_REG_DEL", '0'); 


change it to this

PHP Code:

// Cleaning settings for messages and usernames
define("C_MSG_DEL", '96');
define("C_USR_DEL", '1');
define("C_REG_DEL", '0'); 


this would automatically delete users names after 1 minute.

I was really hoping this would work, anyone have more hints, please?

reason why this may be happening is because you have a room name... chosen

in the config.lib.php3

look for this:

PHP Code:

// Proposed rooms
$DefaultChatRooms = ('ROOM NAME');
$DefaultPrivateRooms = array('Priv1', 'Priv2'); 


change the $DefaultChatRooms = ('ROOM NAME');

to

PHP Code:

// Proposed rooms
$DefaultChatRooms = ('');
$DefaultPrivateRooms = array('Priv1', 'Priv2'); 


that would make no room show up in the room name line... that would just make the user press Chat to go in and wallah

you might want to try what i posted... its those 2 things... change the time to erase the names and leaving it in the default room name

Wish I could get this working, it installed fine but all I get is the message "To create your own room you must be registered" when I try and login, made all the changes you suggested in the above thread!

Any ideas please?
