I just pieced this together from some of the other chat hacks.

I'm sure there are some improvements that can be made to it, but it works for my needs.

Step 1 - Go to http://wwwx.nbci.com/mywebsite/ and get a free chat account.

Step 2 - Add a new template and name it chat_hack.

Step 3 - Insert the following into your chat_hack template:

PHP Code:


			
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd">

<HTML>

<HEAD>

<TITLE>$foruminfo[title] - $bbtitle</title>

$headinclude

</head>

<body>

$header



<table border="0" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr>

<td width="100%">$navbar<br>

<smallfont>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$moderatedby</smallfont></td>

<td valign="bottom" align="right" nowrap><smallfont>$newthreadlink</smallfont></TD>

</tr></table>



<center>Your username is $bbusername, please use that for your log-in name</center>

     <P><P>

    <center>

     

<!--Change the code between the applet tags to the code you are given when you sign up for your free chat account.-->



<applet codebase="http://memberchat.xoom.com:8901/pchat/classes/"

        code="ParaChat.class" archive="pchat.zip"

        width="600"

        height="350">

<param name="ServerName" value="memberchat.xoom.com">

<param name="ServerPort" value="8900">

<param name="Channel" value="#XC.2325247">

Sorry, your browser is not Java-enabled, so you will not be able to chat.

</applet>



</center>



<!-- Time-->

<table border="0" width="100%" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0"><tr>



<td width="100%" valign="middle" align="right" nowrap><b><smallfont>$timezone</smallfont></b></td>

</tr></table>

<!-- /Time-->



$footer

</body>

</html>

Step 4 - Create a new file and name it chat.php or whatever you want. Place the following for the contents:

PHP Code:


			
 <?

   require( "global.php" );

    

    if( $bbuserid ) {



      $user        = $DB_site->query_first( "SELECT username

                                               FROM user 

                                              WHERE userid = $bbuserid" );

      $bbusername  = $user[ username    ];

      eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate('chat_hack')."\");");

    } else { 

            eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate('headinclude')."\");");

      eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate('header')."\");");

      print( "<font face=\"TREBUCHET MS,ARIAL,HELVETICA\">Sorry, you must be logged in to use <a href=\"http://defend.net/deluxeforums\">Deluxe Forums</a> chat!</font><br>" );

eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate('footer')."\");");

    } // end if

?>

Step 5 - Upload chat.php to your forums directory and enjoy!! You can see a sample at http://defend.net/deluxeforums/chat.php

This can be removed from Step 3 as there is no use for it:

PHP Code:


			
<smallfont>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$moderatedby</smallfont></td>

<td valign="bottom" align="right" nowrap><smallfont>$newthreadlink</smallfont></TD>

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