No problem smile
A big thanks is due to E-Oreo as well: without him, the auth script wouldn't be working big_smile

Re: X7 Chat - Already integrates with SMF, PhpBB, XMB, MercuryBoard, etc.

Hey guys,

Still quite new to punBB and X7 chat.
I have a forum install at www.hangfan.co.uk/forum
and X7 chat at
www.hangfan.co.uk/hangout

I've not really had the head to understand how to cleanly tag the two up together, could you give me step by step instructions?

Thanks for you help,

Torbz

Re: X7 Chat - Already integrates with SMF, PhpBB, XMB, MercuryBoard, etc.

Well, according to X7's developer documentation on AuthMods:

AuthMod files are stored in /lib/auth/. The file config.php (in the root directory) controls which AuthMod file the chat room is using. The variable $X7CHAT_CONFIG['AUTH_MODE'] defines which AuthMod the chat room should load. This variable is simply the name of the AuthMod file without the .php extention.

So, I suppose you would:

1) Save E-Oreo's code as punbb.php in X7's /lib/auth/
2) Open X7's config.php
3) Add the following to the end (before the ?>, if it's there)

$X7CHAT_CONFIG['AUTH_MODE'] = 'punbb';

Re: X7 Chat - Already integrates with SMF, PhpBB, XMB, MercuryBoard, etc.

So how does that actually show up in punBB and where?
Does anyone have a working version that I can look at?

Still a little unclear as to what accesses what and how. Is there a menu link automatically put into punBB horizonta lnav menu?

No, all this does is set up X7 to use PunBB's usernames and passwords.

You can easily add a link to PunBB's navigation bar through PunBB's admin options panel.
