Well I just got these 2 products from Digi-Net and was wondering if any body had them integreated with vb??

I'm gona try to work it out my self but any help is apreciated...

SAWolf76 · #2 09-22-2001, 04:29 PM

Well it looks like with all of the other programming projects I have I'm unable to concentrate...

so if anybody is willing to give it a try I'm willing to pay for it. Can't afford much but I think its only fair if your going to take the time. I'm also willing to provide a year long hosting for those interested..

So if your interested just write me...

I can help you out a little bit. At least with the digichat piece.

copy this and make it chat.php

<?php

include("./global.php");

if (!$bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==7 || $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==6 || $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==5 || $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==7) {
eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate('chatmod')."\");");
} else {
if (!$bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==7 || $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==2) {
eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate('chat')."\");");
} else {
eval("dooutput(\"".show_nopermission()."\");");

} // end if

?>

Next change the $bbuserinfo[usergroupid] to the #'s of users you'd like to give mod status.

Then create template called chat

<html>
<head>
<title>$bbtitle - $foruminfo[title]</title>
$headinclude
</head>
<body>
$header
<center>
<APPLET NAME="DigiChat"
CODEBASE="http://host4.digichat.com/DigiChat/DigiClasses/"
CODE="com.diginet.digichat.client.DigiChatApplet"
WIDTH="200" HEIGHT="100" ALIGN="MIDDLE"
ARCHIVE="client.jar">

<PARAM NAME="siteID" VALUE="XXXX">
<PARAM NAME="cabbase" VALUE="Client.cab">
<PARAM NAME="background" VALUE="0099cc">
<PARAM NAME="textcolor" VALUE="000000">
<PARAM NAME="nickname" VALUE="$bbuserinfo[username]">

DigiChat requires a Java Compatible web browser to run.
</APPLET>
</center>
$footer
</body>
</html>

Then make template chatmod

<html>
<head>
<title>$bbtitle - $foruminfo[title]</title>
$headinclude
</head>
<body>
$header<center>


<APPLET NAME="DigiChat"
CODEBASE="http://host4.digichat.com/DigiChat/DigiClasses/"
CODE="com.diginet.digichat.client.chatmaster.DigiC hatMasterApplet"
WIDTH="200" HEIGHT="120" ALIGN="MIDDLE"
ARCHIVE="ChatMaster.jar">

<PARAM NAME="siteID" VALUE="XXXX">
<PARAM NAME="cabbase" VALUE="ChatMaster.cab">
<PARAM NAME="background" VALUE="0099cc">
<PARAM NAME="textcolor" VALUE="000000">
<PARAM NAME="nickname" VALUE="$bbuserinfo[username]">
DigiChat requires a Java Compatible web browser to run.
</APPLET>
</center>
$footer
</body>
</html>

Then just upload chat.php and link it in your site and you should be all set. You also have to make sure you change the XXXX to your digichat site number

I was interested in digichat, until i tried their support. Went into chat room:

Me: Hello, can you point me to a largeish (say 50) concurrent user chat room?
Support: Yes, try www.domain.com
Me: Thank you, any idea what server specs they are using?
Support: No.
Me: Ok, i will go and ask them.
Support: They will not know, it is one on our hosting service.
Me: Arrr.. I am looking for an installation on someones own server, running linux.

waited a couple of minutes

Me: Do you have a URL?
Support: Not off hand (exact words!)
Me: Any chance you could look one up?

... I asked a few more times and left.

Fat chance I am going to pay them $1,000 for something when they can't even give me a URL of it in action.

GeorgeofCS:
thanks for your help I already got that part working. the mode part though is interesting... I'll check it out...

chrispadfield:
well the truth is I agree with you very much... The support chat isn't that great.. I think their bigest problem is that chat is not the right place for support.. but when u do get one of them in private they are usually very helpful... However the people at sales were very helpful and suportive... and they gave me a nice offer... I decided to take the chance and try it out for 3 months... I honestly think they need to do a lot of work on there support... I plan to be in contact with their sales people to make sure they work it out...

My advice is either talk to sales and see if they can be more help... or try another company.. my other chouce is netdive.... they have a nice product..

Chris,

I had just reviewed your DigiChat order, and I wanted to address some of the issues you brought up. It is not a normal procedure for us to give out domain names of people that have purchased our server licenses. Although I agree the technical support representative should have been a little more responsive to your question, our policy is to not give out general names of our clients.

The exception are those clients that have explicitly given their consent for us to use their names as a referral site. One thing to note, we don't actively request referrals since our market share and demo chat rooms usually speak for themselves. If you are in a "pre-sales" situation and are looking for information, please feel free to contact a sales representative since he/she would more likely have the information you are looking for.

If you have any additional questions feel free to contact me. And good luck with your new DigiChat server.

chrispadfield · #7 09-28-2001, 06:04 PM

It was an awful first impression i have to say however the software does speak for itself and I was recommend to speak to Ryan by a friend who I found very helpfull and corteous.

Should be installing the software tomorrow. fingers crossed

p.s. i only wanted one domain name of a site with a server license. I still think it is bad marketing to not have a list of sites in action. At the moment all you list are some large companies that have digichat in operation. This reminds me of what i think infopop do, they don't want to list sites in action but just big names. Big names mean nothing, i could not care less if microsoft use digichat as their internal chat room if i can not see it live (how do i know they use it, or if they have 20 servers supporting it). I would think a good amount of your users would love to advertise their chat rooms on your site. You can certainly add mine to the list when i get it ready.

Hi

This hack is great, but I need to allow my users to login to the Chat system remotely, so I need to get them to put their username and password, before they are passed on to the Chat server

Can I do this?

#9 10-25-2001, 08:27 PM

Dear John,

Yes, you can do this. DigiChat now includes a membership database with the DigiChat Community Bundle. Feel free to come to the site and check it out.

http://www.digichat.com

You can ask for me, Will if you like. I would be happy to go over your options.

JohnBradshaw · #10 10-25-2001, 08:30 PM

William,

Thanks for your post, I would like to continue to use my vB membership database because it keeps everything centralised.

Can I get my users to log into the vB board and then into the Chat at the same. Hopefully keeping everything working!
