Yes, but that one didnt have the options i wanted, so I made this one.

[Shane]

You know, I was making one with the exact java app. Heck. I am using yours. :) Good Job!

[Shane]

A few errors. In your template, change

<applet codebase="$vbulletin->options['bburl']/irc/" code="IRCApplet.class" archive="irc.jar,pixx.jar" width=640 height=400>
to

<applet codebase="irc/" code="IRCApplet.class" archive="irc.jar,pixx.jar" width=640 height=400>


Also in the version I was coding, I added a new permission "group" to the Usergroup manager so you didn't have to put the usergroup numbers allowed. I will send you my code for that and I made another file irc.php so it didn't have to conflict with misc.php.

The template also needs to be formated correctly also.

so what are the differences? :confused:

[Benumbed]

Usergroup permissions, rules, uses misc.php instead of another unneeded file (imo), and correctly puts on NavBar.

Yeah, I do need to clean up the template. I cant remember why I didnt just use "irc/", but think it was something with errors when have a CMS etc.

okay thx :)

How weird, we think alike it seems. Except for the fact of using misc.php.
I would not use misc.php for few reasons, one being a fact that I've seen exploits for misc.php (older, but doesn't mean they cannot reappear) and would not want to contribute to it.

I was working on usergroup permissions but I couldn't figure it out. Right now I'm working on getting newer features in such as: per user options, admin definable connect options, etc. :) Also it should add it correctly on the navbar (from a default vBulletin installation or a skin that is not modifying/removing $template_hook[navbar_buttons_right]

Also: There is a rules addon already placed in it. It should work.

I dont know, it wasnt adding on my NavBar but this was like a week ago...and wasnt the reason why I made my own. Was a few other things and usergroup permissions etc, which I had no idea you was planning on doing (I fail to read sometimes).

[toonysnn]

I don't post all my plans, that one kind of "leaked out." :p

Once I completely understand the usergroups permissions (Would be nice if someone could point me to a tutorial :)) then EzIRC will continue beyond the simple features I've added.

What version of vBulletin were (or are) you running? 3.7.1? I'll double check but it should have. (There is a option for it, and it may have auto-disabled.

Another irc chat mod, I will try to add it to www.vbulletin-chat.com for reference, together with ezirc. So people who wish to use it for irc.vbirc.com can find it easier.

is this 'standalone' or 'integrated' onto vB Floris?

Still running 3.7.0 Gold, havent upgraded yet. It may have been because the way you was adding it and it being an edited template already.

[linkknight]

umm,
in mine, it didnt create a navbar on the theme, nor can i view it from anywhere? :S
i just uploaded the folder to www.mysite.com/forum and uploaded the plugin. but didnt work.

[Shane]

Well. I had to remove it because of major problems I had with hard coded things. I worked on mine and now I even got a color picker working for customizing the java application. I think we three should pool together and work on one.

I used some of your elements, and then I used my coding style for the main file irc.php with usergroup permissions bitfield file, custom phrases, and such. The java application has so many settings that I had to take breaks in adding everything. :lol:

I am using a SVN to code mine. We could collaborate there.

[linkknight]

Alright nvm i fixed that, btw you said we have to edit 1 template? but what template is it?

[RedDevil]

I tried it didnt work as i expected but many thanks

That's very strange.
if($vbulletin->options[ezirc_navbar_on] == 1) {
$template_hook[navbar_buttons_right] .= "
<td class=\"vbmenu_control\"><a href=\"./irc.php\">".$ezirc_title."</a></td>";
}
@Shane: That would be interesting, we could create a great IRC product for vBulletin, quite possibly. :)

Thats fine, would be better than having 3 different ones that accomplish the same thing.

[merlin_de]

Hello,
in the irc.zip i miss the irc.php :rolleyes:, there is only the folder "irc"

Thats because in my version, it is not needed...

[Evil95GT]

I'm dying to have a chat feature on my site, so thanks!

I have everything uploaded and installed, but I don't have a clue what I should put down for "port" and "server".

I realize how incredibly stupid this must sound, but I'm a beginner trying to learn as I go.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Michelle

[Mum]

For an easy server try something like irc.webchat.org - they are great. Port is normally 6667 but depends on the server.

Guys - have you looked at mibbit.com - would be great to have an intergrated one for that widget.

[uberjon]

any information on what was updated today?

[Benumbed]

Was basically only a typo fix that I thought I had fixed the other day (not loading the irc folder correctly sometimes).

[mkb116]

I can't get mine to work, it just has a load error. I am a complete NEWB at this though, do I need to make a channel somewhere or do I just make up a name and enter it in the box, don't assume I know anything, am I missing something dumb?

[Benumbed]

Is the java on your home pc (not the server) up to date? I know I helped someone yesterday with this problem, they updated their java and all was fine.

[Strik3]

could you add a feature to use irc commands on connect wich every user can save for himself.?

like: "msg nameserv identify" etc..

[sheep92032]

Maybe you could add a bit more to the instructions? "Just upload the files you need", What files do i need?

[merlin_de]

Thats because in my version, it is not needed...

Hi,
what is the link to the chat ? Till this time our chatapplet is called by www.myforum.de/irc.php or chat.php or any kind of it.
Greets,Micha

[CeesT]

I like this mod, but the chat-application has a fixed size of 640x400 pixels. I can change the code to a wider version, but that is only a fixed size. Is it not possible to fill it to the template-window (fluid)?

The vbulletin.org chat-version will show at the full template-wide-window, is this also configurable in this version?? (Which IRC mod is used on vbulletin.org ??)

And further, is there a way to prevent the certificate error message?:
Name: Web User
Publisher: Philippe Detournay
The digital signature was generated with a trusted certificate but has expired
This is annoying for our users.

[manning]

Tried to join your forum so I could test this puppy out, but it wouldnt let me connect to the chat ...

[lucky51]

it not work on IE ?

[Hasnain]

I am using vb 3.6.8 so will this mod work for me?

[gnrmarcel]

i had a channel with password protection.
where i can define the password at the admin panel for the channel?

[Pokerbanter]

it not work on IE ?

Same problem for me.

Has anyone had this and managed to find a resolution??

[redlabour]

Same for me - it does not work with IE 8 with vBSEO. In FF everything is ok.
