How to add html5-chat into Vbulletin ?

Vbulletin is a very popular forum system for your website.
Here are the steps to integrate Html5-cjat into vbulletin

<?php
session_start();
require_once('./global.php'); 
$user = array(
   'id'      =>$vbulletin->userinfo['userid'],
   'username' =>$vbulletin->userinfo['username'],
   'gender'   =>strtolower($vbulletin->userinfo['field5']),
   'country'  =>$vbulletin->userinfo['field2'],
   'birthday' =>$vbulletin->userinfo['birthday'],
   'role'    =>$vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'],
);
//die($user['role']);
if ($vbulletin->userinfo['avatarrevision']>0) {
   $user['image'] = "https://exbb.redclouds.com/customavatars/avatar".$vbulletin->userinfo['userid']."_".$vbulletin->userinfo['avatarrevision'].".gif";
}

$encoded = file_get_contents("https://jwt.html5-chat.com/protect/".base64_encode($json));

you inject that encoded string into your JS script

<script src="https://html5-chat.com/script/<?=webmasterid?>/<?=$encoded?>"></script>

And that’s ALL. You can read more about full JWT integration:

volume2

Display Volume on cams

You can now have a visual volume indicator inside any webcam.

To enable that feature, go to chatadmin/config/webcam and set
Display user volume

The volume will be displayed inside the webcam and inside the userlist

Volume indicator…

You can also display an effect on video (red border) when volume is detected (when user speaks or streams sound): you have to check this propetry:

Add red border on webcam when volume detected (addEffectOnVolumeDetection) in chatadmin/config/webcam

Red border effect on volume detection.

Sngine : Social Network PHP script

Sngine – The Ultimate PHP Social Network Platform is a cool php script.
How to integrate html5 chat into that script ?

Edit the .htaccess file and add these lines:

# Chat
RewriteRule ^chat/?$ chat.php [L,QSA]

Create chat.php file and paste this code:

<?php
$webmasterid = xxxx; // your webmasterid html5chat account
$password = 'yyyy'; // your html5 chat password
require('bootloader.php');
if (!isset($user) || !isset($user->_data) || !isset($user->_data) || !isset($user->_data['user_id'])) {
    header('Location:/');
}
if ($user->_is_admin) {
    $role = 'admin';
} else if ($user->_is_moderator) {
    $role = 'moderator';
} else {
    $role ='user';
}
$user = $user->_data;
$json = json_encode(array(
        'id' => $user['user_id'],
        'username' => $user['user_name'],
        'password' => $password,
        'gender' => $user['user_gender'],
        'role' => $role,
        'image' => base64_encode($user['user_picture']),
        'profile' => "https://yoursite.com/{user['user_name']}"
    )
);
$encoded = file_get_contents("https://jwt.html5-chat.com/protect/" . base64_encode($json));
?>
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, user-scalable=no, initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0, minimum-scale=1.0">

    <title>Chat</title>
    <style>
        html, body, #chatContainer {
            width: 100%;
            height: 100%;
            margin: 0;
            padding: 0;
        }
    </style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="chatContainer">
    <script src="https://html5-chat.com/script/<?= $webmasterid ?>/<?= $encoded ?>"></script>
</div>
</body>
</html>

Edit the first lines and put your own data

$webmasterid = xxxx;
$password = 'yyyy'; 

Then navigate to yourSite.com/chat

and you should see WHOLE page html5 chat

web radio

html5 chat and webradio (updated)

Set a global radio for your chat

You can set a global webradio player for whole site. Just go to your chatadmin / config and specify a valid https resource for your radio

or set a radio per room !

You can now specify a webradio per room. Just go your chatadmin/room and specify (or leave blank) a web radio url for each room

Audio restrictions

How to customize the radio look&feel ?

In fact the webradio is just a html <audio> element.
So it is quite limited to make some customizations. However we will add some better player soon like: https://www.mediaelementjs.com/

Where to find Radio streams ?

Google is your friend: You can easily find thousands of free radios
ex: http://dir.xiph.org/

But.. make sure they are playable inside the html5 <audio>element (mostly of time they should be .mp3 files)

How to start webcams muted ?

This is also a frequent question. You can now start webcam muted in a room. (go to your chatadmin ->rooms)

But you can also assign muted webcam per role.
(go to chatadmin->roles->advanced)

Ex: admin And DJ roles will have webcam no muted, whereas roles like guest and user will have their webcam muted

background

How to add picture to background ?

This is a common question we receive. The answer is obvious to who knows some CSS.
I recommend to read the post about customizing the design with CSS.

For people who do not have CSS knowledge

First, it is really important you learn CSS since design on web is totally related to CSS. Let add a background image for you chat step by step

  1. Prepare Picture
    You background picture should have a good size (ex: 1024x800px) and should be available somewhere on the web accessible through HTTPS
    ex:
    https://c.pxhere.com/images/d1/a4/ccfdcc5bc5f116abc867b0e9c7f7-1458005.jpg!d
  2. With your editor (notepad for instance) create a file with .css extension ex: myCss.css
  3. Edit this file and insert that code inside
#container {
background-image: url("https://c.pxhere.com/images/d1/a4/ccfdcc5bc5f116abc867b0e9c7f7-1458005.jpg!d");
background-size: cover;
}
#tabs .nav-tabs {
background-color: inherit;
}
#roomsContainer2, #usersContainer2, #friendsContainer2 {
background-color: inherit;
}

#footer {
background-color: inherit;
}

#tabs .tab-pane {
background-color: inherit;
}

#tabs {
background-color: inherit;
}
#usersContainer {
background-color: inherit!important;
}
  1. Save that file and upload it to YOUR server so it is accessible with HTTPS
    ex: https://www.mysite.com/myCss.css
  2. Go to you chatadmin, go to config and then choose design/layout tab and insert that link ( https://www.mysite.com/myCss.css) in the Link to external CSS to customize your chat  field
inside config

6. and that’s all: the background image should be inside your chat

This is also the procedure to change the design of any element of your chat. With CSS you can customize EVERYTHING you want, including the layout.

tab mode

New Tab mode

The tab mode in html5 chat has now two new features. (the tab mode is one of the display mode available in chat). It displays webcams on top of the screen. These webcams are sortable

Splitter to resize webcams

You can use the splitter to resize the webcams.

Resizable webcams

Pop in and pop out webcams

You can pop out the windows from the tab and make them independent draggable and resizable windows and pop them back to the stack.

pop out and pop back the windows

To enable the tab mode, just go to your chatadmin and set the display mode as “tab

Html5 chat and Joomla Full screen (update)

To run the Joomla plugin in full screen mode, you need to edit the plugin located in

/plugins/content/html5chat/html5chat.php

and change the content of $script by

    $script = "<style>
    #iframeChat {
        height: 100%;
        width: 100%;
        border: none;
        position: absolute;
        left: 0px;
        top: 0px;
        z-index: 9999;
    }
    </style>";

    $script.= "<script src='https://html5-chat.com/joomla/$webmasterid/$encoded'></script>";
    $script.="<script>
        jQuery('#iframeChat').detach().appendTo('body');
    </script>";

You chat should then appear in FULL screen above all elements.

HTML5 and Payperview

A new exciting feature: Pay per view mode with HTML5 chat is now available for paid (registered users)

What is “Pay Per View” ?

Pay per view is a special kind of chat where a performer displays his webcam to watchers. This is 1 to many chat : indeed a conference mode chat.

Public and private chat

A watcher can request a private chat to performer. If the performer accepts, other users will be ejected from the room and private chat between the performer and requester starts.
During the private chat, credits from user are decremented and private session data records duration of the private chat. This is why it is called : pay per view: as long as user stays in private chat, he pays (credits) for the show.

Pay per view video chat : what for ?

This pay per view mode is suitable for:

  • E-learning sessions, teachers
  • Erotic pay per view shows (livejasmin like)
  • Clairvoyance site, astrologists
  • Consultants, lawyers
  • Any kind of chat when you need user to pay to watch private cam

How does it work ?

A webmaster can have many performers. When user arrives to the performers wall, he will see performers photo avatars and status: online, offline or busy (already in private chat). He clicks on the performer’s picture and enter the performer’s avatar. If he has credits, he can request a private chat and private chat will start as soon as performer accepts it.

2 different pay per view modes

We have 2 different pay per view mode integration:

  • Embed mode: no coding knowledge is required at all. You just defines prices, performers, insert your paypal email to receive payments and you are ready to go: this is a 5 minutes process.
    This is suitable for people with no coding knowledge at all. All data, records, reports, and performers data are stored on html5 chat servers.
    Here are details about how to setup the payperview in embed mode
  • External mode: you need some coding knowledge such as calling REST API, JSON encoding. This is suitable when you want all payment process and data to be stored on your own servers. This mode is suitable for people who owns already a website and have serious coding knowledge. This is a 2 – 4 hours process.
    Here are details about how to setup the payperview in external mode.
