Cyb Chatbox

**UKDarkstar** · 03-16-2009, 02:00 PM

Sorry folks, more newb questions.

I've installed the Chatbox and it appears on the main forum page - not where I want it. So I find the setting which says :

Show ChatBox on (comma separated THIS_SCRIPT locations)
Blank to show on all pages (not recommended because of server load) and the value is index If I remove "index" then it disappears from the main forum homepage (fine).

I only want it to appear in certain forums and the instructions say :

To have ChatBox enabled on desired page:
1. THIS_SCRIPT must be defined in php file (by default all important vBulletin files has this)
2. Hack options - You must add THIS_SCRIPT value for target page to "Show ChatBox on" setting field
3. Main template called on target page must contain "$cybchatbox" variable

I just don't get this

Any pointers greatly appreciated.

This script would be like the name of the file. So THIS_Script=index,

Index is your index.php. If you wanted it on showthread.php...then showthread. You just lop off the .php for where you want it. As for only certain forums you would need an if statment.

<if condition="in_array($forumid, array(x,y,z))"> the variable for the chatbox</if>

You will have to put that in the top of your forumdisplay template. And I think you would have to do it without using the built in Thisscript box. I am sure in the direction or something it gives you the variable that calls the chatbox.

I sorta get what you're saying but I'm not into php and stuff. Think I'll uninstall and look for an alternative that I can manage.

Thanks anyway
