[RELEASE] HearMe Voice Chat Hack

Introducing my first hack for vbulletin:
------------------------------------------------------------
Features

This hack checks to see if forum users are cookied. If the user isn't cookied, it prompts the user to enter their username and password. Upon logging in, the user is taken to the hearme voice chat and their username in the chat is their username on the forum. This hack also takes advantage of the use of templates which makes the chat match the rest of your forum
------------------------------------------------------------

All of the files in the .zip file are in .php format and have been tested in version 1.1.2 but should be compatible with most versions.

I'm very gratefull for this hack and the wonderful Hear Me Chat.
- Testing it I discovered that, if the member is not loggen in, and insert username & password in the error_nopermission template, he finally start chatting, but in a new chat only for him, besides others people are talking in another cat.
I realized this, working with 2 PC.
I solved this making a template that sends the member to loggin in the index page, so it works.
- A question: why, after about 10 minutes that a member is in the chatroom he desappears from the loggedinusers in the index page? Is there a way to fix this?

Well it looks like you guys are going to have to find another chat room to integrate with your board..

I got this email from them the other day...

HearMe does not currently offer a signup opportunity for the free Voice Chat
software (VoiceCREATOR Basic). The hosting of this product will be
discontinued. HearMe will not offer a direct replacement for this free
product. We are working with one of our partners to provide this service in
the future, and will try to avoid any service interruption. You should
receive another standard e-mail when this will occur.

*sigh*

Back to the drawing boards....

So does it still works for others, or just you it wont work?

It would really help if there was a working link for this hack

I just moved from a UBB to VB (useing 75gb b/w per month - generating over 1,000 new members per week not what you'd call an unpopular or badly designed forum) - I love the changes but hate the hack support - perhaps we should setup a vbhackers.com site - vbulletin.org don't seem to be much help either - everyone seems to be waiting for v2.0 before implementing any hacks - wheres the fun in that? From what i've been reading waiting for v2.0 is like waiting for a new version of a m$ product i.e. don't hold your breath.

Any hacks that are emailed to me i'll host them on our perm server - just to help you guys out

but i'd REALLy like this chathack - been using hearme for a long time but love the php intergration - someone PLEASE email it to raptor@psx.co.uk

Thanx !

Raptor, it helps if you read the thread. I was able to download it from a link here and find out that it doesn't serve any purpose since THE SERVICE WAS DISCONTINUED!

dude thats rubbish - we have been using hearme for months and are still using it now

and all the sites that this hack is installed - ITS WORKING !!!!

Send me the hack and i'll show it to you working

heres a non php version i just uploaded to show you quickly

If you don't like the hacks then maybe you should create your own hacks. I am so sorry that we spend our time working on v2.0 instead of making hacks all of the time as we did 3 months ago.

dude, i'm not ripping - I too am looking forward to v2

and I do write my own hacks and implemented many and helped in the development of many with ubb

but if the vb community needs to grow then support has to be given to the hacks as well as the main product because to be honest, its the intergration and customization that makes the product "saleable" - I have no problem in hosting hacks for users if the files keep getting removed

i'm new to vb - I was a die hard ubb nut but of course saw the error of my ways

Is there any way to beta v2 for you guys ?

It still helps if you READ THE THREAD.
