Great! I was looking for this. Thank you very much :)

[toonysnn]

Great! I was looking for this. Thank you very much :)
No problem. If you find any bugs, please let me know, this was a quick patch and I've tested it as far as getting it running. :)

[redlabour]

Works like a Charm! :)

But WOL Location is missing!

[toonysnn]

Ah, good point. I should add that. (Never messed with WOL until today) Will whip up a quick release (1.0.6) for that.

[redlabour]

And it was nice if we can disable the navbar Link and add a own in our Templates if we wish. ;)

[toonysnn]

What do you mean by your own templates? Elaborate please.

[Henkou]

thanks installed, already testing-) working fine exept one thing-)
example: i and my friend use this client and another man use for example irc from miranda or Mirc... if we post in english all is fine, but if we use russian for example, i write hello in russian ("хай") my friend will see it, but еhe guy from miranda will receive "0445 0430 0439" and if the guy from miranda will time the same, we in this client will reiceve smth unreadble-))) is there a way to set an encoding we need for ex. cp-1251?

[carrlos]

And it was nice if we can disable the navbar Link and add a own in our Templates if we wish. ;)

We would like to be able to turn off the navbar link that is automatically added so that we can add it ourselves where ever we want.

Yeah, that will be done in 1.0.6 as well then.

Thanks for the release! Been waiting for an IRC chat since I'm running on 3.7 now.

And of course, I'm running 1.0.7 on my board. I run Beta versions.

[shinydarkstone]

maybe for an update you can add on the profile the options for the nickserv
like /identify and the password, so the users can auto register on the irc channel

Hmm..I will look into that.
I was thinking about this in 1.0.2

[Stubbed]

Cool :D

About time someone made a new vb irc integration mod and actually kept it up to date!

A few things that I've hacked into my vbjirc install that I'm sure more members would find useful:

Being able to add pjirc applet params in the config. There are a massive amount of variables used to configure pjirc, giving users more access to these would make this a lot more popular. Simple things from the basics like making it so people can't leave certain channels to completely skinning the applet, having the default blue on a theme that isn't the same colours just looks ugly. Also being able to change the applet width, there's no problems with it being set to a percentage if you're using a fluid theme. Obviously these can all be changed in the template, but would be handy to have them in the options.
Different params depending on usergroups? Restricting channels/colours/smilie usage if they're a guest, giving more options depending on other groups, etc.
Nick/ident checking before connecting. One thing where vbjirc fails is it doesn't rewrite the nick names if they're not irc compatible. Obviously every network is different, so this really has to be something set by the administrator. You obviously can't connect to a server with spaces in your nick, and on some networks you can't connect if your nickname starts with a number.
Multiple servers. Most major networks have more than one, and will only allow connection from ones closest geographically. For someone who doesn't know about IRC, having the client cycle through several different servers if it doesn't connect the first time would make life easier.All of these are just ideas, in reality 90% of my users never heard of irc (Even though our community started there, and grew into a forum..) and still find it a bit too complex!

Restricting channels is not possible from the client side I think. This would require usergroup bitfields which I have no clue how to use. Smilies and colors cannot be limited as far as I can see.
Or I can just add
<param name="authorizedjoinlist" value="none+$vboptions[ezirc_allowlist]">

which will only work properly if set up properly.

Hmm I thought I did this somewhere in 1.0.4, maybe it deleted itself cause I run on a live board, not a debug one.
I will readd this in 1.0.7

So, like alternate servers should one go down? Easy. :)All of these are just ideas, in reality 90% of my users never heard of irc (Even though our community started there, and grew into a forum..) and still find it a bit too complex!I've replied in the quote.

[cnutter]

Is there a easy way to configure this to only join a specified irc server. Then stop users from using the /server command?

If so were in the configuration could I do this?

[Nadiar]

Is there a way to change the username someone logs in with?

Right now if the name is taken it appends a 3 digit number
I'd like to see something like Username-Java or something before it tries using the digits.

I could take a look and see if I can remove /server in all.

[Mum]

I would like to say that a fantastic irc channel is irc.webchat.org - i am in no way affiliated with them, but i have had fantastic service there.

[Stubbed]

Hmm I thought I did this somewhere in 1.0.4, maybe it deleted itself cause I run on a live board, not a debug one.

It's definitely a must have, I had quite a few users complain they can't get in because of this.

Good good :)

Yep, that's how you restrict them in pjirc, I'm just saying it would be cool to be able to allow different user groups different options. There's no time like now to learn about bitfields eh? :D

Adding a vBulletin option for extra default configuration values can set this up quite easily, do you just mean the normal pjirc config?

Just a field in the vb config to be able to output more configuation options for pjirc. Just means the admin doesn't have to make template edits to get the effect he or she wants.

I understand IRC commands. Can you tell me how the java client is determining their username?

[KURTZ]

OK, installed and nominated! :D

some questions: can i change the default server in irc.quakenet.org or any other?

Thanx, many thanx if you figure out how to do it.

[P.Jackson]

does this work with quakenet ?

does this work with quakenet ?

Sure - with every IRC Server. :rolleyes:

OMG - IRC is born in 1988 and nobody still understands what IRC is?

Via the plugins. I've made some changes to this for some problems like not being able to connect due to "Erroneous Nick"
<param name="nick" value="$ezirc[username]">

@ redlabour (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/member.php?u=51916): LOL. That's what I was thinking.

another questions guys, with this hack is enabled the /nickserv command? i just tried many times to register my nick but always i've a 'no such' feed-back ....

[toonysnn]

Those commands are server sided. They must be added by the administrator of the network. Otherwise you have to /msg Nickserv

[toonysnn]

===development update===

Everyone: I'm running 1.0.7 Beta on my forum, still working on getting the new features implemented. I will have them up this weekend, hopefully. :)

I've gotten a small bit of the per-user options set (eg: /authserv or /nickserv auto on connect)

[solidlink]

guys, want to check if this application does affect the server load a lot?

[toonysnn]

Haven't seen anything on my forum. Here's my uptime command on SSH.

root@svr [~]# uptime
11:41:55 up 42 days, 19:12, 1 user, load average: 0.08, 0.05, 0.03

[KURTZ]

Billy just wondering, you know that mirc is heavy dangerous, cause it opens many doors on the server, so it can be easily hacked ... how about the protections?

[toonysnn]

Can you please provide some examples of backdoors? I might be able to whip up a fix for any of them.

[purepothead]

Can't wait for the new version.

I havent expereinced any lag from the use of this at all and its pretty heavily used at times.

Backdoors? I will ask the Owner/Operator of our IRC server if this is a concern and report back as soon as I can.

I do not believe there are any backdoors enabled from using mIRC. That is only client sided if there are any. ;)

The new version will also include:
Joining multiple channels

[purepothead]

Not sure how mIRC got involved since none of this is mIRC related, but a few IRC owners stated that none of this is ran server side other than the HTML so there is no possible security issue there.

[toonysnn]

Billy just wondering, you know that mirc is heavy dangerous, cause it opens many doors on the server, so it can be easily hacked ... how about the protections?
That's where it came in. And I thought so, or else my IRC server would've been exploited a long time ago.

[berben4]

Thank you for the mod. I am having trouble with it interacting with my Photo Post integration with VB though. If the mod is activated it throws errors on the Photo Post entry page as follows:

Warning: require_once(./includes/functions_showthread.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in \gallery\header-inc.php on line 98

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required './includes/functions_showthread.php' (include_path='.;C:\php5\pear') in \gallery\header-inc.php on line 98

From what I can tell it looks like it is messing around with the user sessions but I am not sure. What in the mod could cause it to alter the integration with other scripts or with the user sessions?

Thank you for you time.

[toonysnn]

I've never seen this problem before with my mod. But if I had to take a guess, it looks like your photopost configuration is incorrect. It may also be that EzIRC has a "$path" variable which I should change to $ezirc[path]
I'll take a look into things and let you know when I get home from school.

[Strik3]

may you add a feature to use irc commands on connect wich every user can save for himself. like "msg nameserv identify" and so on

[berben4]

Any updates on the Photo Post issue?

[toonysnn]

Sorry I hadn't gotten to it. School's been hell this week. I'll look into it right now.

If there is no issue in general (I've probably made a mistake...) then I'll do a patch for 1.0.6

[toonysnn]

Okay. I've applied something to see if it'll work. As I do not know where (or if it's free) PhotoPost is at, I will not be able to do some testing. =/

Attached: XML update (1.0.6 PL1 - for PhotoPost users)

[Virtualshiner]

Is it at all possible to have this mod work for the vBulletin word filter?

[sparkster666]

I get this error when i try to connect


Connecting...
Unable to connect : java.security.AccessControlException : access denied (java.net.SocketPermission irc.gamesurge.net resolve)

[sparkster666]

User error works great

[toonysnn]

Is it at all possible to have this mod work for the vBulletin word filter?
I wish. :(

PS everyone: I've been working on a more developed EzIRC due to errors and such with connecting. Usually everyone can connect, and some (few select) cannot due to their usernames on the forum. I will be finishing up the arrays for that and releasing 1.0.7 (with patch of 1.0.6.pl1)

[usertr]

I've got vB3.6.10. Will it work with that version of vB?

I've also got a home page built with vBadvanced CMPS. I assume that won't get in the way.
Edit: I wrote this before I went to your site and saw that you're using vBa as well.

I've got a user with a space in his user name. It sounds as if 1.0.7 will accommodate that.

Also, I've never used a mod from vBorg before. This one says it uses a plugin. I assume that means I can back it out from the admin panel if I have to deal with vB support on something and they ask me to.

Also, as new versions come out, let's say 1.0.8 or 1.0.9, how do I upgrade the mod? Do I back everything out and reinstall the new one??

Dunno if it'll work with 3.6.10. Haven't tried, but it should.

1.0.7 will make sure that all usernames are acceptable.

It uses plugins to update the forum instead of using many PHP files and edits.

All you do to upgrade is to reupload & overwrite the product from the Products & Plugins area.

[cnutter]

OK, is there anyway to speed up the login process. The Ident seems to take around 90 seconds.

[Mum]

That's determined by your server, unless you're talking about the loading time of the app itself?

[toonysnn]

Ident is not mainly handled by the client, it must be allowed by the user, then processed in the server and then a result sent back to the client saying that it's good to connect.

[erdshare]

thanks... 3.7.0 working..

[nizzie]

when i installed and left the info provided in the mod i get a red X on the java app

[toonysnn]

Can you provide a link to your forum? This would be easier to diagnose the problem.

[toonysnn]

Just a update on the current status:

vBulletin Options


Revised channel field, can be used for several channels.
Can use global Quit Message (will not override a user's custom, but is disabled per-user by default)
Filename (You can move EzIRC to a different file now)

Usergroup Permissions


Can Use IRC? (default: 0 (no))
Can Use Custom Quit? (default: 0 (no))

[gnrmarcel]

nice add-on but we have a own channel with passwort protection
when a user logging in (via vb) the java applet shows a error "bad password"
where i can put down the right password?

[Raptor]

superb works great

[toonysnn]

I think you can add the password right after the channel name.
I might make a different Admin CP page for editing all the options, etc.

1.0.7 is being delayed due to lack of funds and our power going out...right now I'm running on friend's home power and network.

[gnrmarcel]

I might make a different Admin CP page for editing all the options, etc.

that would be cool :-)

[punk23]

Great Plugin but we have a slight problem. Some of our users have spaces in their usernames on the forum, when they connect to the irc server it boots them. Is there anyway to have spaces in usernames translated to dashes or underscores?

This is applied as a fix in 1.0.7.
I will work on 1.0.7 today and hopefully get to release it by tonight. :)

Release Notes: All users are, by default, not allowed to use EzIRC. You'll have to go into every usergroup, and at the bottom, allow the group to access EzIRC.

Is this for 1.07 or 1.06 because i dont see if for 1.06 and wondering where i can find it

[xoutlawz00x]

very nice release btw thanks alot

[Brundlefly]

I'm intrested in the usernames appearing like this;

Brundlefly (Site)

Since none of my website users have the same name, there should be no duplication. Is this possible.

I do appreciate your work on this.

Thanks in advance.

[Brundlefly]

Disregard my last, I figured it out.

[toonysnn]

1.0.7

[toonysnn]

Okay everyone, here's just a status on 1.0.7. It's been scrapped. I'm just recreating EzIRC cause the code has gotten a tad messy and could be rewritten.

I'll post a status update later next week.

[MCAlexandre]

I have a problem. :)

As I use this modification, I can't acess some pages with the configurations, but they are not also in the Configurations Page in the ACP.

My app returns an error when users with a "!", "." or something in the nickname enter. The error says the nickname is erroneous because it has illegal carachters. After a conversation with my IRC provider, we found the solution:


What you need to do is strip . and !'s from the nick, IRC cannot support usernames with .'s because thats used in server names, and it cant allow !, because thats used as the seperator between the nick and the host.

If using PHP, you can try the following code on the nick before it is passed to PJIRC.

This code assumes the users nick is stored in the variable "$nick", and replaces .! with underscores:

$nick = str_replace(array('!','.'), '_', $nick);


Could you help? Where am I supposed to insert this? :)

Thanks and congratulations for the excelent mod!

[usertr]

Thanks for the update.

Okay everyone, here's just a status on 1.0.7. It's been scrapped. I'm just recreating EzIRC cause the code has gotten a tad messy and could be rewritten.

I'll post a status update later next week.

Do you envision that the new EzIRC will work and look pretty much like the one you had on your site?

Will the new one have some accommodation for forum user names with embedded spaces? (Some sort of workaround that would replace spaces with something like underlines or hyphens might work. The space things seems like a daunting obstacle. I'm sort of guessing that working on that issue is what convinced you to scrap it and start over.)

Is there any chance of its working with 3.6.10 for those of us not quite ready to enter the 3.7 bugland?

Also, can we go ahead and install 1.0.6 in the mean time, just to get oriented to it?

[RvG2]

can we have the option to use the smileys from vbulletin? so no need to upload another sets of smileys...

[Jeffler]

How can I make it so guests can use it too?

Yesterday we have installed version 1.06 an get a signatur failure from java...

thx for help

Sorry it's taking a while for 1.0.7, I've recently got into the paid requests and have been busy since. I will work on 1.0.7 as soon as I finish this $1000 job I've been hired for (Not posted on vB.org, contact over Yahoo! messenger)

Yeah, it'll be like the one on my site. Guests will be able to have the option to enable/disable in 1.0.7 too (Usergroup permissions)

Smilies will be automatically used from vBulletin if I can get them to work in EzIRC (I'll take code from the Admin CP's Smilies page if I have to)

espesso, I'm sorry but I cannot provide support from that image. It's in dutch or german and I do not speak or read either of those.

That code is not valid for EzIRC.

reesev: It should allow you now, accidentally deleted my email from the vBulletin members area. =/

[BIF]

Option to set alternate nick name ? Option to set auto identify to nickserv using forums password ? Option to set size of the client. ?

Just some ideas that i think would prove useful..

[usertr]

I'm attempting to install 1.0.6.

This may be a dumm question, but the readme.txt for 1.0.6 says "upload the folder provided." I'm assuming that refers to the file called "upload." I'm assuming further that the files and subfolders in "upload" and not the "upload" folder itself get uploaded: is that correct?

To where are they uploaded? I'm running vBadvanced and that vBa home page is in the root and not the forum. There's an index.php and an index.html in the upload folders, but I've already got an index.php file in both my root and in the forum folder. They both have stuff I wouldn't want to overwrite.

I've already imported the file 'product-ezirc.xml' via the Produce Manager.


toonysnn: I know you had this working on your site that you had with vbAdvanced. Any ideas? Also, I'm curious: how does it know to go to the irc service I'm using?

Edit: I've uploaded the irc.php file and the irc folder to the root where my vBa stuff sits. That now looks like the wrong place, because the irc.php file has this line in it:
require_once('./global.php');

Maybe the file and folder should be uploaded to the forum folder. I'll try it there.

Edit2:

I've moved the irc.php and the irc folder into the forum folder. Now I can get to chat from my forum home page, but I get HTTP 404 - File not found when I click the menu item on my vBadvanced home page.

Three things I'm considering:

1. Maybe I need to do something with the menu code in my navbar, maybe with a
if condition="THIS_SCRIPT in the navbar to accommodate the vBA home page (I'm going to work on separate menus for the home page and the forum pages anyway)

2. Maybe I need to change what's in the include:
require_once('./global.php'); to an absolute address.

3. Maybe I need to add some variable that EZIRC uses (what are they?) to Portal Output Global Variables in my default setting for vBadvanced.



toonysnn: You had your chat running on a site that had a vBadvanced home page. Any ideas on any of this?
Also, I've got vbirc. How does it know to go there instead of some other service?

[Jenkins]

Just installed 1.06 on my forum. I'm getting "undefined string" everywhere, but everything functions correctly.

[toonysnn]

usertr: there is a vBadvanced option in order to fix links.
Jenkins: it sounds like english.pixx or whatever the file is, doesn't exist.

[usertr]

I'll look for that thing to fix links you mentioned to make it work from the vBa home page.

Right now I can access irc chat from the main forum page, but my big problem is that I'm going to the wrong irc. I've created a channel on vbirc and have my forum administrator's username set up as moderator on the irc channel, but when I get to chat from the menu after installing ezirc, it puts me on a different chat: it says irc.ircdotnet.net. Which values can I change to get it to point to vbirc. Should I be looking at that xml file?

Also, what happened to that great web site you had up?

[toonysnn]

vBulletin Options> EzIRC Settings> IRC Host
Change this to irc.vbirc.com

The population pretty much crashed. Switched to a clan forum. We also host gameservers and websites from our clan site. We're a pretty "multi-func" clan. :)

[Tanpapasmurf]

When i try to view the chat i get a box with a red X, I have java installed. What could be the issue?

[Tanpapasmurf]

Fixed my issue, it was something on my end

[Jenkins]

usertr: there is a vBadvanced option in order to fix links.
Jenkins: it sounds like english.pixx or whatever the file is, doesn't exist.

pixx.english.lng is in the /irc folder. here's a snapshot of my irc folder.

How to change the color scheme of the client?

[toonysnn]

Sorry for delayed responses. Real life and school coming up is really annoying the crap outta me. :(

Jenkins: I've experimented with a IIS server (I now use Windows over Linux, but use a VPS) and noticed that you'll need to add the extension (.pixx) to IIS
More information: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/326965

vmacedonia: I do not know. I haven't messed with the client that much.

Guys, I'm very sorry for the late responses on 1.0.7 and such, but I am now coding the 1.0.7 on a live board (hired for work) and hopefully will have it done soon. I have so many things going on in real life, not to mention I should catch up with reality. :p

[shachar47]

thx man but the hebrew is reversed... what should i do to fix that?

[tweakmonkey]

Several of my forum users are having trouble using this applet. For about half the users it works fine, but for the other half...

XEN Nickname is already in use.
-- *** No ident response
-- *** Ident broken or disabled, to continue to connect you must type /QUOTE PASS 11518

When the user types /QUOTE etc. it disconnects them.

Even if their username is standard alphanumeric (e.g. Dan123) Some users get:
bad username, please disconnect and enter a correct username.

Some users are getting Ident issues, or it says their usernames are invalid:
Your username is invalid.
Connect with your real username, in lowercase.
If your mail address were foo@bar.com, your username would be foo.
Error : Closing Link: OcTaNe91 by Dallas.TX.US.Undernet.org (USER: Bad username)
Disconnected from Dallas.TX.US.Undernet.org

I'm using Undernet as you can see. Is this the problem? These users were able to connect fine using standalone IRC clients like mIRC and Xchat. I've had about 20 users try so far and only 10-12 were able to connect using the java client. Thanks.

[Abizaga]

sorry for this stupid question but does this take up bandwidth? How much bandwidth?

[Mum]

Try www.mibbit.com - it gives you code to simply place where you like - very quick and easy :)

[karlm]

Nice job!

[tomsch]

is it possile to get ssl to work ???

[Jedric]

How would I go about changing

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="./irc.php">Chat</a></td>

to

<td class="navbar"><a href="./irc.php">Chat</a></td>

?

I have looked everywhere and I cannot find where to edit this.

This mod is useless on a forum without a fix for Erroneous Username. An issue that was pointed out here by MCAlexandre ........

Actually, this is in the new EzIRC. But I do not have time at the moment to release or finish the coding.
Please do not go around saying that the coders are ignoring something when they are not. Get your facts before running around and saying something.
Thank you.

------------------------------------------
Hello vBulletin.org,

I am only here to visit for the time being, I am having issues in real life with high school starting (third week, being a freshman) and with trying to keep up with my job requests.

I cannot guarantee this but I believe later this month I'll be able to release a new release of all my modifications and possibly some new ones.

I do have more important things rather than updating free modifications compared to my normal jobs.

I appreciate those of you who understand that being in school, managing your time as a administrator of several boards, and having jobs from online customers is very hard.

No the fact is you ignored the question as it was never answered or even acknowledged.

What you have going on IRL is irrelevant to that fact.

[toonysnn]

I did not ignore it. I've stated that it's fixed in 1.0.7 but I'm having issues with my time.
If you do not like this mod, then stay out of the conversation.
I may provide support for it, but I'm not starting arguments over if I did something or not.

Also, what I have going on irl does, it lets people know I don't have the time to code.

[diviniti]

Just curious if there is a way to add the amount of users in the chat, next to the link in navbar. Somewhat like AddonChat. I am thinking it is not possible due to it being IRC based, but doesn't hurt to ask right? :) Great mod too.

[ShMilO]

thanks installed, already testing-) working fine exept one thing-)
example: i and my friend use this client and another man use for example irc from miranda or Mirc... if we post in english all is fine, but if we use russian for example, i write hello in russian ("хай") my friend will see it, but еhe guy from miranda will receive "0445 0430 0439" and if the guy from miranda will time the same, we in this client will reiceve smth unreadble-))) is there a way to set an encoding we need for ex. cp-1251?


as Henkou said ' i have the same problem
i wrote in hebrew : test ( בדיקה )

and saw it in the java chat
however in mirc it showed :
<MoD> 05d105d305d905e705d4

is there a way to fix this ???

[Joey Link]

Well it looks like you're partially right. I added the .pixx mime type set to applicate/octet-stream restarted the iis service, but the problem still occurred, I then read the KB article you included, it says to add a wildcard mime time for testing purposes only. I did that and it fixed he problem... so now my question is how can I tell which mime type it's trying to call for that isn't in the mime list?

[Flightbase]

hi all,

i did not read all of the pages - but how to get rid of the flicker while having the chat activated?
if i click to the surrounding page, the "update flicker" stops.

thanks for any hint.

greets, Nik

[Alien]

Are you by chance running a mac? I have seen an update flicker issue on the most recent macbook, but have been unable to reproduce that on Windows Vista or XP. I haven't yet tried THIS mod, but I'm still using the old vbxirc mod which also uses Pjirc.

Maybe an issue with what version of the Java runtime the mac uses? Hmm.

[darkie79]

Did anyone figure out how to remove the ability for someone to /server and change servers from within the applet?

I totally can not have this happening.

got me ;)
i`m using the chat, with a mac book pro. afte it happend to me, i told a friend to check. he confirmed flickering. so i made this posting.
today he told me, that he likes his mac so much. after 3 weeks of using it i won`t buy anthing else - bla bla.

so this flicker was confirmed by another mac user.

thanks anyway, Nik

[SuperTaz]

I have a slight path problem. When I click on the link from the forums, it loads up fine. But, when I click on the link from my CMPS (vBAdvanced 3.1.0), it gives this error:

Warning: require_once(./global.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/*******/public_html/irc.php on line 27

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required './global.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/*******/public_html/irc.php on line 27


Any thoughts on why this wont work when I click on it from my CMPS?? :confused:

[Flightbase]

did i meantion, that the chat does not look very well?
anyone did some styling to show what i can get, if i invest some time?
is it true, that they stopped developing that pjirc in 2005?

hmmm.

are there any more eye-candy and active irc chat plugins?

greets, Nik

[Mum]

Make a page and use www.mibbit.com instead :) Much easier and prettier.

[ladyhawk_two]

Please bear with me for a minute as I am very new to vB and don't know much yet.

I downloaded the program. The entire install instructions were "To install this product, you need to import the file 'product-ezirc.xml' via the product manager, and upload the folder provided". I did both, uploading the folder to the forum root directory since nothing else was specified.

No IRC. I got a button on the navbar that takes me to an error "The requested file http:\ was not found on this page". There are no configuration instructions that I can find, anywhere. Obviously you guys got it working with no trouble so can you please tell me where I went wrong? Please be specific as I am VERY new to this stuff.

[redlabour]

Anyone knows how to get this work for IE with vBSEO? In FF everything is ok.

[icekola]

Will this work for 3.8?

[GrendelKhan{TSU]

Will this work for 3.8?

same question :)

[DBStattoo]

im on undernet its possible to add undernet???:confused:

[Wayne@R32oc]

running fine on 3.8 here :)

[blaize]

Works in 3.8.

To add an undernet server go to vB options, ezirc options.
Under irc host add the undernet info, will be something like irc.undernet.org.
Then under irc channel add your chat channel, it'll look something like #mychat, (replace mychat with whatever your chat channel is called).

[tlwwolfseye]

Is there no Userpermission settings ? Don´t find any.

[ricardoNJ]

When I go out of chat and other user enters, he is an @, and when I return to the chat, I have no @. I can not change it. And I am a forum administrator.

[ricardoNJ]

Any idea?

[Oyadus]

How does we resize the applet so it's 100% wide when the product's all installed?

[Wonksta]

How does we resize the applet so it's 100% wide when the product's all installed?

Open up the .xml file in a text file search for width640 or just '640' that will be the width. Change it to 100% and the height to 632 which works nicely.

P.S Mod working in 3.8.2

[Deadsy]

How can I change the IRC port?

[sKippah]

Well, runs nice on 3.8 without any changes, just user permissions would be nice ;)
Can anybody explain me how set an own single window for the chat? thanks a lot

[Floris]

Awesome to see vbirc.com in the list. I hope it helps a lot of site owners to get chat on their site to quick connect open network where we allow bots and give irc support, etc.

I hope some beginning networks are interested in offering and supporting this plugin and grow, and work together with us. irc is epic win, all the time :)

We're constantly recommending site owners to go check out this mod for their vb powered site.

[Floris]

When I go out of chat and other user enters, he is an @, and when I return to the chat, I have no @. I can not change it. And I am a forum administrator.
On irc.vbirc.com you become "founder" of the channel and when you return and identify to your nick you will get founder access again. We also support no expiry setting on the channel.

if the network you're on has nickserv and chanserv, register your nickname, then register the channel. Then upon return, identify to nickserv and you're set.

[sKippah]

Can anybody tell me where to find <td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="./irc.php">IRC Chat</a></td> ???
Coz i would like to change it in <a href="./irc.php" target="_blank">IRC Chat</a>
Thanks

[HansMuenchen]

Hello,

where into the irc.php I must put this code here and how?

$nick = str_replace(array('!','.','?','?','?','?'), '_', $nick);

Hope that code will be correct?

Thank you for the help!

Greetings
Hans

[AdamFL]

so what's new with the issue between this mod and photopost? it's either one of them and of course i will pick photopost and use mibbit as an irc client.

[stizoula]

Hello
To days now I am trying to set different color in navbar for "IRC Chat" link.
Many combination lot of tries but still nothing.
If someone know something about it, I will be appreciated
Thanks for reading me.

Robby

[seefresh]

I get this error when i try to connect

Care to share what your user error was?

[toonysnn]

Guys, just saying, there will be a backport of the 4.0 version, and will be replacing this version. It will be released in the 3.8 section.

[KrisP]

Mod works perfect. However what is really needed is list of users online in chat on forumhome. Any chance to add this functionality? How do you add target="_blank" to link?

[Floris]

The version for vbulletin 4 has this, and I believe the next 3.x version will include it too. Pending users use the vbirc chat network.

[seefresh]

So, we have some users who have created usernames with spaces or special characters in their user name. How can I modify the code to allow for these?

[Floris]

The irc protocol has never allowed for special characters or spaces, usernames can't start with a number either on irc.

[Rafa-el]

A question, with this modification I will be able to add my Own IRC address?

Also this is Java or Flash?

Thanks.

[vivoperdio]

Is this mod compatible with vBulletin v3.8.6 PL1 ?
