Sigma Chat integration for non-platinum users · **Released**: 02-05-2004

Introduction
This hack integrates your forum with the Sigma Chat software provided by Raidersoft. Unlike the other Sigma integration hack, this one will work for users who own the Professional (entry-level) license, rather than the more expensive Platinum license.

What does it do?
This hack means that only registered forum users will be able to access the chat room. Additionally, they will only be able to chat using the same username as they have on the forum. If someone who isn't registered (or logged in) tries to visit the chat room they will see the standard "No Permission" vBulletin screen.

Is it complicated to install?
No, it's simple. You don't need to edit any VB files, you simply upload one new file (chat.php) to your forum directory and add one new template via your Admin CP.

Support?
Yes, I will support this hack. PM me if you need any help.

Demo?
I've installed this on a colleagues server. You can see the chat integration in action (you will need to register) at at this site

I also used some code (which limits the username length to 15 characters) which was originally created by wot-Mike for his vB2.x chat hack - so all credit to him.

Hope it proves useful for you - please let me know if you use it

This is the message I got when I tried it:

Applet Halted. This chat room is closed.

Any chance of integrating the header/footer and auto-resizing chat window like the VB2 hack?

Isn't this illegal? Since it's only supposed to be supported when you have platinum...

There is a type O in the address that this hack uses. Change the addy to the correct one and everything is good.

Current chatroom template

PHP Code:


			
<html>

<head>

<title>Chat Room</title>

</head>

<body bgcolor="#ffffff" text="#000000" link="#0000ff" vlink="#0000ff">

<applet codebase="http://[B]client1.[/B]sigmachat.com/current/" code="Client.class" archive="scclient_en.zip" width=680 height=480 MAYSCRIPT>

   <param name="room" value="XXXXX">

   <param name="cabbase" value="scclient_en.cab">

   <param name="USERNAME" value="$bbuserinfo[username]">

   <param name="autologin" value="yes">

</applet>

</body>

</html>

Change to this:

PHP Code:


			
<html>

<head>

<title>Chat Room</title>

</head>

<body bgcolor="#ffffff" text="#000000" link="#0000ff" vlink="#0000ff">

<applet codebase="http://[B]client.sigmachat.com/current/[/B]" code="Client.class" archive="scclient_en.zip" width=680 height=480 MAYSCRIPT>

   <param name="room" value="XXXXX">

   <param name="cabbase" value="scclient_en.cab">

   <param name="USERNAME" value="$bbuserinfo[username]">

   <param name="autologin" value="yes">

</applet>

</body>

</html>

Should work after doing this correction.

Thanks,

Please check your Sigma Chat control panel for the correct code for the chat room. The code I used in the hack was the code provided by Sigma/Raider and is correct for my room. As for the header and footer - you can edit the chatroom template and add your header and footer manually. I will work on a more complicated version of this hack which resizes the applet if you like.

Appreciate this. I will work on it to make it resize according to my forum.

Ok , for anyone that's interested, I have modified the template to include the header and the footer. This isn't displaying the navbar however, so if anyone knows why feel free to jump in.

Just try adding the code from the navbar template into the template for the chat-room.
I'll try and let you know if it worked.

To add the Navbar to the page do the following:

Open chat.php and find this code:

PHP Code:


			
require_once('./global.php');

Add this line just below:

PHP Code:


			
eval('$navbar = "' . fetch_template('navbar') . '";');

Save file

The navbar should be displayed on your page now.

Hope this helps.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
