DigiChat v1.1 by Pseudomizer

Hi @LL,

THIS HACK IS NO LONGER SUPPORTED FROM ME !!!

I just released my new version 2.0 for VBulletin 3.0.x which can be found here.

This modification will help you to integrate DigiChat 4.0 with VBulletin 2.3.0.

Background information:
I have searched vbulletin.org for a corresponding hack and the only hacks i could find were about implementing the JAVA applet from DigiChat into VBulletin. This was too simple. I created this hack, because i needed an integration for my community. The problem i was facing every time i tried to integrate a custom hack from me, that i will not be able to update VBulletin to another version without destroying my custom hack.

So my aim was and still is:
- do not alter vbulletin files
- if i have to alter vbulletin files than keep it down to a minimum
- DO NOT ALTER THE VBULLETIN DATABASE ( important for any upgrades of vbulletin )
- do not create an additional database for the chat ( KISS = keep it simple and stupid )
- use the existing databsse for chat profiling options
- do not alter existing vbulletin templates
- use additional templates for administration

I think i have managed it quite good, because the only file that has to be modified is member.php from the
vbulletin directory. So all other features are created in separated files or templates WITHOUT altering the
database.

This version already includes the buddylist plugin which has been developed by Gatekeeper.
Thanks for helping me here ;-) !! He will also develop the plugin for the chatmaster buddylist.

Future Update to this version will be:
- integration of chatmaster login ( done in Version 1.1 )
- integration of Buddylist in chat for Chatmasters
- integration of pic upload for the chatprofile

Estimated Time for the implementation of this Hack:

If you are familiar with Vbulletin AND DigiChat: 12 minutes
If you are NOT familiar with VBulletin or Digichat 30-45 minutes

Please report any bugs into the corresponding thread at vbulletin.org so we can share the informations or email
me at Pseudomizer@lovetalks.de or for the Buddylist Plugin email at Gatekeeper@lovetalks.de

If you want to see this hack in action then go to http://www.lovetalks.de

It is a german site but i have implemented the "TECH_english" style for foreigners. Please be aware of that you can only change the chatprofile in the "Grafisch_Deutsch" style because this hack is in development. I will implement the hack to all styles in the next 2 weeks.

Update Version 1.1:

The integration of the chatmaster login has been done. Please read the new lines in the install.txt how to implement this new feature.

But in short words:
- all chatmaster accounts should have (CM) at the end
- replace the old index.php in the DigiChat folder with the new one
- if you wish any other groups just edit the new index.php to add new groups to be able to see the new login

I will add a screenshot at the end of this thread to show you the new login window.

If you have any questions feel free to contact me.


Best regards,

Looks nice Pseudomizer. When someone enters chat from your forum will it automatically use their forum name and profile info?

Hi Intex,

it depends on the cookie. I am checking $bbuserinfo[variables] to check if the user is registered or not.

If a user is a member he will automatically will be logged into the chat with his or her forum username.

If the user is not a member than the member can choose a chat nickname with the default icon.

Cheers,

Hi @LL,

for those who does not want to register to have a look at the chat profile i want to provide a screen shot.

Here is the screenshot of the new additions to the forum profile:



Sorry, but the description of the fields are in german from the database. You can change this to english in your hack.

Cheers,
