Ok I'm not sure if this question even belongs here but I figure it's a good start before anyplace else.

If this is a server question, please tell me so I can call them. Thanks

Here goes:

I have a Cbox shout box on my site. It is now integratable with message board systems. Here is the quote and instructions from the site. What I need to know is where to find the name variable they mention.
Were is it?
What does the code for it look like?
Do I look for it on the server in the db or is it something that is called up from the software somewhere that 'talks' to the db?

Quote:If your site is PHP-based (e.g. phpNuke, vBulletin, phpBB), alter your Cbox HTML code in the following way:


...&amp;sec=form&amp;nme=<?=urlencode($name)?>&amp;nmekey=<?=md5('18laln315i2lgckm'.$name)?>

Where the variable $name appears, insert the variable that represents the user's name as retrieved from your userbase. This will vary depending on your CMS or forum system. After changing your code, enable user override below.

I believe the username hook is:

Quote:$mybbuser[username]

Hope this helps!

Ok so do you think i need the bit in the brackets? or just $mybbuser?

...&amp;sec=form&amp;nme=<?=urlencode($mybb->user['username'])?>&amp;nmekey=<?=md5('18laln315i2lgckm'.$mybb->user['username'])?> 

See if that helps.

Neither one worked

Any other suggestions?

thats right, but if your not sure, ask tikiti, he's very helpful

If you would post a bit more code then maybe we can find the answer

Ok here's the whole code.
At the site owner's request i x'd out the boxid numbers. Hope that's ok.

Hey guy, I'm sort of digging up the past here but my friend is still asking if I could integrate his cbox for him on his board.

Anyone with any ideas please let me know. If you think it's impossible, again, let me know so I can let this go buried forever and tell him it's impossible.

You probably have to add it to the index template (in the ACP).
