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:

most of my users has usernames that has a <space> in them... can anyone resolve this problem? or are there free chat programmes that can allow the <spaces>?

I need this as well, but nonetheless, nice job.

I installed phpMyChat..the latest version.
Modified the portion that goes into the header to look like:

PHP Code:

function my_chatwin()
{
var tmpName = replace('$bbuserinfo[username]',' ','_');
tmpName = replace(tmpName,',','');
window.open('/chat/index.php3?L=english&Ver=H&U='+tmpName+'&R=Home&T=1&D=10&N=20&ST=1&NT=1&First=1','mychatwindow','width=700,height=600,toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,copyhistory=no,resizable=yes');
}
function replace(string,text,by) {
    var strLength = string.length, txtLength = text.length;
    if ((strLength == 0) || (txtLength == 0)) return string;
    var i = string.indexOf(text);
    if ((!i) && (text != string.substring(0,txtLength))) return string;
    if (i == -1) return string;
    var newstr = string.substring(0,i) + by;
    if (i+txtLength < strLength)
        newstr += replace(string.substring(i+txtLength,strLength),text,by);
    return newstr;
}
//--> 
</SCRIPT> 

works great...
resolves the space issue...
just need to modify the exit button to close the window instead of going to chat index.

Hey Oxygen, do you have this running on RC3?

[Oxygen]

No, just RC2 - I did not even see that 3 was out yet.
Man they are fast.
although there is no reason for it not to work in RC3.
