vBulletin 3.7.x Official Integration & Authentication Extension

Product Info
Name: AddonChat Official Integration Product
Product ID: ac80_37
Version: 3.7.0
Author: AddonInteractive (http://www.addoninteractive.com/)
Last Modified: 15 May. 2008
Compatibility: vBulletin 3.7.x

Overview
This extension allows you to fully integrate a AddonChat Free, Professional, Professional PLUS or Enterprise Java? Chat Room with your vBulletin 3.7 forum system. This script provides basic integration for AddonChat Free and Professional customers. Remote authentication (the ability to secure access to your chat room using your vBulletin username/passwords) is available for Pro+/Enterprise customers, as well as a Who's Chatting feature.

Requirements
  • vBulletin 3.7 or higher
  • AddonChat Free, Professional PLUS, or Enterprise, or AddonChat Professional with the Remote (HTTP) Authentication System. You may register for a AddonChat account at www.addonchat.com. A Professional PLUS or Enterprise account is recommended to take advantage of advanced features.
  • (optional, but recommended) PHP with allow_url_fopen directive enabled in your php.ini file or the PHP CURL extension. This is required to download the Who's Chatting list from AddonChat servers.
What's new?
This script is a completely revamped edition of our previous integration script. Installation no longer requires any template or code modifications. Additionally, there are no PHP files to edit when setting up your chat room. We have added an "AddonChat" menu item in the vBulletin AdminCP that allows you to setup and configure your chat room with ease. Most users will simply need to enter their account number and password (as used at addonchat.com) and your chat room settings will be retrieved automatically, with your remote authentication system updated automatically as well. We have also improved character code support through better UTF-8 conversion allowing non-English speakers to use a vBulletin+AddonChat without issue. Issues relating to the Who's Chatting system causing problems have also been addresses; a scheduled task has been added to automatically optimize and repair AddonChat related tables daily in addition to improvements to the re-written Who's Chatting system.

Features
  • Seamless integration between your vBulletin forum and AddonChat
  • After installation, setup and configure your chat room from the AddonChat menu in your vBulletin Admin Control Panel
  • Popup and Embedded Chat room link options
  • Automatic (ten minute interval) User's Chatting count updates
  • Real-Time Who's Chatting list
  • Display the amount of users within your chat room on your main navbar shown throughout your entire forum
  • Remote authentication allows you to authenticate access into your chat room based on your vBulletin user database
  • Automatic user login option
  • Seamless integration with vBulletin Usergroup permissions (remote authentication)
  • Remote functions system allows you to tie in vBulletin forum functions into the AddonChat user menu
  • Uses the vBulletin XML product import architecture, making installation/uninstallation simple.
  • No code or template modifications required
  • Automated account lookup - just enter your account number and password, and your information will be automatically retrieved. (allow_url_fopen must be enabled in PHP)
  • Multi-lingual (UTF-8) support
Installation
Installaion takes less than five minutes. Download the supplied ZIP file, and extract it on your personal computer. Open the readme.txt file for full installation instructions. No PHP code modifications or template modifications are required. This script makes use of the vBulletin XML Product system for a fast and painless installation.

Support
Support is provided by AddonInteractive for this script provided you have a Professional, Professional PLUS or Enterprise AddonChat account. Read the included instructions for details. Please let us know if you have any problems installing this extension.

Well, my cookies are set and they don't work. The reason I reported it here is because the hack was released here. I already have 1 support ticket that isn't being answered.

You haven't given me much to go on, so I'm going to assume your templates are either out of date or you're using a custom template that isn't respecting the VB template hooks.

If you want to do it yourself, I'd use the addonchat nav template as a guide, possibly manually paste it into your main navbar template in the location you'd like it. You may have to edit it to match any customizations to your navbar table. I really can't help much more without actually seeing the problem. The script as-is should automatically integrate itself into the menu provided you're using a VB 3.7 compatible template.

If I understand correctly, you want to show a list of Who's Chatting in a box -- not the chat room itself?

For a who's chatting box, you'd basically just have to query the addonchat_who table (note that the vBulletin table prefix is not used) then parse the data for display -- usually you'd use a template and a cached template bit to display the content.

Here is a generic example of echoing the usernames using VB commands...
PHP Code:
$result "";
$query "SELECT id,username,subroom,hidden,uid,admin FROM addonchat_who";
$addonchat_who_list $db->query_read($query);
while(
$addonchat_who $db->fetch_array($addonchat_who_list) {
   
/* This is where you'd build your template guts (using a bit if needed) */
   
$result .= $addonchat_who['username'] . "<br>\n";
}
/* This is where you'd display your template */
print $result

More complicated then in the past - im not sure how to do this...

In the past I was able to use iframe command and it would pull it that way. I appreciate the response but I have no clue on how to do a template and cached template.

Ah, I see -- you're referring to our stock Who's Chatting link code; I thought you were looking for something more VB specific. While I don't recommend it for very popular boards (because it can cause lag) you can still use the same who's chatting link code, or create a new code from your AddonChat control panel in the Settings -> Site Integration -> Who's Chatting section. From that page, set it up how you'd like it to display, then click the button on the bottom of the page to view a sample and get the HTML code.

Been an Enterprise Plus user for well over a year now. Just upgraded to 3.7 and the AddonChat integration updates and improvements are great. Thanks!

One thing I would like in the future now that you have individual usergroup permissions. For those usergroups that cannot access the chat room, can you add another option or make it so the "Chat" section of the Navbar is invisible so they don't even see that option?

We're going to add a "User is Banned from Chat Room" item or similar to the usergroup settings in the next minor update which will override all other settings. I'll also add your suggestion to our development to-do list Thank you.
