[Zachery]

version update!
this mod will allow you to connect to any irc network that you have a chanel on

automaticlly picks up a registered username
if no registered username is found it uses Guest plus 3 random numbers
will strip usernames to meet irc requirements
smilies are now on by default
nickbox on by default

version 2.0.1

missed a small line of code to turn smiles on by default, if you dont want them on by deafult dont bother, if you do want to have smiles on by default change the following
find
<param name="bitmapsmileys" value="true">
add this above
<param name="smileys" value="true">
:) smilies will now work :)

ugrade instructions

[Bad Bunny]

Checking it out on one of the sites and it's poretty sweet! Thanks for sharing!

[Zachery]

one more note, as far as i know it only works in ie :(

ill be working on another version that will work with vb2 and then other browsers

[Bad Bunny]

It KIND of works with firebird. Just loads like a snail. I accidentally clicked a link and couldn't get the applet to load again. :(

[Zachery]

version 1.3 with support for 2.x :)

[imported_Snowy]

nice hack, i was all excited then...... is this for VB2 like your post says ? ? if so its n the wrong forum

vB3 Template Modifications
we are in :)

[M1th]

compatible with vb3 and vb2.

[Tony G]

*Begs SaintDog* Pleaseeeee install this for the #vbtemplates channel! It desprately needs this for life! :)

[Zachery]

yes it now works for both 2.x and 3.x :)

i doubt ill really need to upgrade this much :)

[Jean147]

you need to own a chat for this?

[Zachery]

you need to have an irc chanel some where :)

[imported_rynthar]

Getting all this undefined string stuff, all my images dont show up, etc. for the chdir i put "../" since my forum is at domain.com/.... any help?

[Zachery]

define the full path to the root vb folder

/home/site/www/vbulletin/

thats a full path :)

[imported_rynthar]

I tried /www/htdocs/domains/www.mydomain.com/ and domains/www.valleyforums.com/

when i put ../ , the chat comes up and all, but it looks like..

http://www.andy-akb.com/images/messedup%20copy.jpg

[Zachery]

ah, to to your ACP and define the FULL paths to your images folder :)

[imported_rynthar]

OOHHH. So its full path to IMAGE folder. ACP = Admin CP correct? So what would I put as the path, the image folder or admin folder? But also, why am I getting all those weird undefined things?

[Zachery]

ok for chrdir define path to the root vb direcotry inside the server


go into the acp. style manager, define http://yoursite.ext/forumfodler/imagefolder

instead of just images/XXXXX

[imported_rynthar]

Um... it is. My images work for the rest of the forum. Just not that chat page. Lol. Call me stupid, but I keep trying out all these different paths, and they arent working.

[Zachery]

right i understand, its because the images are trying to be pulled from forums/chat/images/imgdir

if you define full paht, regardless of where the file sits it will showup

[imported_rynthar]

well, just tried to put http://valleyforums.com/valley (valley is the folder where the images are) . After that, images still didnt work for chat but also for main forum. I really would like this feature, would you mind if i give you admin access to check it out yourself?

[Zachery]

if you want, just drop me a pm with the info :) ill be more than happy to help

[Zachery]

image problem fixed. read my pm and if you have any more problems post it here

[Jean147]

you need to have an irc chanel some where :)
yeah, that is clear. But do it have to be registered?

[Zachery]

probally help :)

[L-Mane]

I got this error when I tried to load it

Warning: chdir(): No such file or directory (errno 2) in E:\WebPublic\allhiphop\community\chat\index.php on line 3

[Zachery]

you did NOT FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS :)

please read the instructions, this hack will not work if you dont read them ;)

please read them again before trying to apply them :)

[iD. Joel]

Works in Opera....

[GamerzWorld]

I dont understand what my link to VB is. I guessed it was /forum/ but thats wrong

[Zachery]

when i say full path, i mean your FULL PATH on the server

it should look somthing like

/home/username/public_html/forums/

or /home/var/siteXX/www/

if your on a windows box it will look more like
c:\folder\folder\folder\

:) ask your host if you need help :)

[L-Mane]

I now get

Parse error: parse error, unexpected '/' in E:\WebPublic\allhiphop\community\chat\index.php on line 5

[Zachery]

open the file and tell me whats on line 5 :)

[GamerzWorld]

Ok ill ask my host. I know im on linux server. Im using ww.web-mania.net. Got any ideas what it could be

[Zachery]

no idea :) if you were on viperhost i could probally tell you :)

[GamerzWorld]

Ok ive got the link. Im abit confused on this bit :

vb3 - open header template and add $vboptions[bburl]/ before any link
vb3 - open footer template and add $vboptions[bburl]/ before any link

Does it mean at EVERY link i add that. When i did this my images disapeared tho

[GamerzWorld]

Without the above stuff being done i get error :

Warning: main(home/www/gamerzwo/forum/global.php) [function.main]: failed to create stream: No such file or directory in /home/www/gamerzwo/forum/chat/index.php on line 5

Fatal error: main() [function.main]: Failed opening required 'home/www/gamerzwo/forum/global.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/www/gamerzwo/forum/chat/index.php on line 5

[Zachery]

you still havent changed the chdir corectly

/home/www/gamerzwo/forum/ << your full path to your forums

when i say link i mean <a href=" " > << that kinda link

[GamerzWorld]

Help someone :(

[Zachery]

any update gamerz?

[GamerzWorld]

No i dont know whats wrong. And i dont know how tro do 1 step with bb codes.

[GamerzWorld]

All its saying is line 5 is wrong. Line 5 is require("home/www/gamerzwo/forum/global.php"); but ive also tryed /forum/global.php . Help please lol

[Bad Bunny]

GamerzWorld. I have a question...your forum is in a folder named "gamerswo"? That seems like a strange folder name.

It's a wild shot...but perhaps your path is actually /home/gamerzwo/www/forum/global.php
I'ld be curious to see you try that, as it seems doubtful to me that you have yourdomain.com/gamerswo/forum/ as the address of your forums. ;)

[GamerzWorld]

My domain is www.gamerzworld.net BUT my folder is home/www/gamerzwo

[higabyte]

All its saying is line 5 is wrong. Line 5 is require("home/www/gamerzwo/forum/global.php"); but ive also tryed /forum/global.php . Help please lol
you need to find the physical location of your site of where it is located on the server... I had this problem at first as well because I was I have my site on a subdomain - http://board.accordtuner.com but just put the path of the server in there like it said and it worked fine. you also need to make sure and add the $vboptions[bburl]/ before the images in teh header as well if you are using images...

[GamerzWorld]

<?php
// ## Changes the Directory so it will grab vb3 ##
chdir("/home/www/gamerzwo/forum");
// ## Grabs global.php so it will use vb3 functions ##
require("/home/gamerzwo/www/forum/global.php");
// ## yeap what it says ##
define('NO_REGISTER_GLOBALS', 1);
// ## defines this script as chat if you use phpinclude_star for this page at all ##
define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'chat');

eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('chat') . '");');
?>

Is what it looks like atm. Why is the top one working but not line 5 if im typing wrong

[Zachery]

chdir("/home/www/gamerzwo/forum/");


that should make it work :)

[GamerzWorld]

Ty for help all fixed but 2 lines. http://www.gamerzworld.net/forum/chat/index.php? . Anyone know what ive got to change to make the blue line appear instead of the grey

[Zachery]

go to ACP and into the style manager and redefine your image paths as full paths.. not images

but

http://www.mysite.com/forum/images

GamerzWorld you were sposed to put

$vboptions[bburl] BEFORE A LINK!

however i doubt it will hurt your images to have them

find ever occurence in your header template of

<a href="

and replace with

<a href="$vboptions[bburl]/


like you were instructed in the instructions

about you gettin kicked off, i have no idea, this program does require you have a valid network some where

[Bad Bunny]

Is there anyway to make the applet only load if a user is logged in?

[GamerzWorld]

SOz ive been acting dumb. FInally fixed apart from the gray line. Also is there anyway to add smilies or intergrate forum ones ?

[Zachery]

yes there is, read the readme, version 2 will have smilies and other features on y default.


badbuny, yes but i did this so they didnt have to be, that way your geusts can talk in the chat before joing the forum.

version 2 will have more options that are configurable via the ACP. bad bunny i will take a look at gettin a version with registered only

[Bad Bunny]

Ok. Thanks. I apreciate it. It'll be used for live roleplays on my site...so members only would be great.

[GamerzWorld]

It said add <param name="smileys" value="true"> . I did so in the pjirc. What next lol

[imported_Snowy]

I only pasted some of the code

PM Sent :)

[Zachery]

figured and fix your problem :)

[imported_Snowy]

Question mate

yes the chat will work fine, but not the header or footer links ;)

they will all go to broken pages :)

[GamerzWorld]

Could any1 help me installing smilies please :)

[imported_chuanse]

Works perfect guyz, thx

Just to be sure, the java applet is freeware, correct?
I won't get trouble about licenses? :D Can't use that :p

yes it is...............................................

[imported_chuanse]

oki, thx :)

ps: seems that there are problems with WinXP as OS. Some remedy? :)

[imported_Emrys]

This is what I get :

Warning: Unknown(/home/xxxxxxxx/public_html/forums/chat/index.php): failed to open stream: Permission denied in Unknown on line 0

Warning: (null)(): Failed opening '/home/xxxxxxxx/public_html/forums/chat/index.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in Unknown on line 0

Any ideas?

Everything is uploaded, I created the template, I renamed index(vb3).php to index.php, and I edited it to include the correct path to my forums. I am lost. Haven't even gotten to a connection point yet. Also, I edited all that information to point to a server, etc, etc....

EDIT : Do I need to call this in any special way? Can I just use www.domain.com/forums/chat/index.php (http://www.domain.com/forums/chat/index.php) ?

Thanks

[Zachery]

Emrys@ you need to use a full path, which i dont belive you have... :\





chuanse@ it (chuanse@ it) works for windows uses, anyone with windows xp will need the sun java console

[imported_Emrys]

<?php
// ## Changes the Directory so it will grab vb3 ##
chdir("/home/xxxxxxxx/public_html/forums/");


You mean that path?

[iyouth]

Try path w/o trailing slash... bugged me out once..

Regards,
Patrick

note: also, if that doesn't work try /home2, some hosts are a bit funny and will change to home2 drive (whole diff convo tho! :P )

[imported_Emrys]

The trailing slash doesn't make a difference, and the directory structure is correct.

Anything else to try?

Thanks....

[Zachery]

you added chat/index.php to the path

a path looks like this

/home/username/public_html/vb3/

... please remove your quote from this page as it contiains my part of my chat script

[imported_Emrys]

Where are you gettings the chat/index.php?

the path is set to :

/home/xxxxx/public_html/forums

As stated above

Is this not correct? The chat/index.php part comes from the URL where I am trying to call the chat up.

[Zachery]

you dont need to remove your full path name theres no real danger in showing it, can you give me a link to your forums where the chat is so i can see?

[Zachery]

updated :) nothing major, just cleaned the files and made the installer simpler

[Jean147]

I got this message here :s


Warning: SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid is 638 is not allowed to access /home/www/web2/html/chat owned by uid 0 in /home/www/web2/html/chat/index.php on line 3

Fatal error: Failed opening required './global.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/php') in /home/www/web2/html/chat/index.php on line 5




any ideas?

[Zachery]

best idea, would be contact your host, there hosting in safe mode, and you dont have the real location of your file. i belive this is the problem altho im not sure

[Jean147]

I think I have the right path to the file, but as it is running in SAFE MODE it can't reach it? Not sure anyway. Will contact host and post here later.

[Zachery]

well when i tried the path for the other forums i was working on, his box was running in safe mode, when i treid the path i thought was real, it didnt work, so i needed to ask the host what the true path to the root dir was, once i used this, it started working :)

[Zachery]

im now looking for a smilie set, i read the wrong post and posted this

bad bunny if your reading this please check your pm's

[GamerzWorld]

Can any1 help me get smilies. Ive tried everything

[Zachery]

smilies will be standard with 2's release

[Jean147]

I know, this is a little off topic.

But how the hell do I make the smilies in jIRC visible? I read the instructions about 100 times. Smilies are in the right folder. But they do not show up in the applet, There is just a blank space then. :(

[Zachery]

like i said smilies will be standard with version2 and it will be out later today

[jancarlo]

I find alone vBXirc1_5_vb2 that it is for vb2, and for the vb3 where I
find the zip?

thanks
jancarlo

[imported_chuanse]

on the first page of this topic, no?

[Zachery]

i didnt relize i uploaded the vb2 only version :) my bad

[jancarlo]

why I have this error?

Fatal error: Failed opening required ' /includes/init.php'
(include_path=':/usr/lib/php') in
/Users/playanuevaforum/Sites/global.php on linens 18

how I can resolve?

thanks
jancarlo

[Zachery]

1. im just working on a few last moment things :) for versions 2 realease

jancarlo, you didnt correctly set your full path im assuming :)

[jancarlo]

task of to have put all just

the absolute distance is /Users/playanuevaforum/Sites

and the error that me meeting is this:

Fatal error : Failed opening required './includes/init.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php') in /Users/playanuevaforum/Sites/global.php on line 18

jancarlo

[Zachery]

please remove that from you post(the code), you need to point the full path at vbulletin, not at the chat

[Zachery]

updated to version 2.0 ^^

[GamerzWorld]

Ok dunno if this will get answered but updated. Smilies dont work. The Banner doesnt work and the grey lines arggggg. http://www.gamerzworld.net/forum/chat/ is link. Smilies are uploaded check http://www.gamerzworld.net/forum/chat/img/smile.gif and in chat template i see /smile etc etc

[Fused24]

i got that same thing running on www.sxsecurity.org its a php/postnuke plugin.

[Zachery]

i guess i forgot to post the fix here too

ill update my first post in a momnt :)


also if you dont follow ALL the instructions you will have broken images in the header / footer :)

[Zachery]

zip updated :D

[calvinnguyen]

HI Faranth
I wonder that where I can get one irc server address for my own room? Is there any free services for this? thanks alot.

[Stylez]

does this work with vb3 gamma?

[Frugal]

does this work with vb3 gamma?
Not for me, I just get a blank page. I've created the chat template in all my styles, have the correct path in the index and edited the links in the header and footer but just get a blank page.

The source of the blank page is

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>
<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"></HEAD>
<BODY></BODY></HTML>

I'm guessing it is stye/template related because if I go to

http://www.digitalkore.net/vb3/chat/

And select the matrix reloaded style I also get a blank page.

Found problem, it changes to the vb folder then uses require ./global this appears to drop to the dir below then look for global.php, changed it to require("global.php"); and problem solved.

Frugal

[Zachery]

well then you didnt put the files into chat/ :)

[Asterik]

Hey Faranth, sorry for pissin ya off lol ^_^.

Seems im having a problem. It doesn't pick up the User Nick and it'll always make them a Guest. O_o I haven't done anything to it xcept change whats in the directions. v_v

Hey Faranth, sorry for pissin ya off lol ^_^.

Seems im having a problem. It doesn't pick up the User Nick and it'll always make them a Guest. O_o I haven't done anything to it xcept change whats in the directions. v_v I've installed it on vB 3 Gamma.

For me it works fine but I had 10 people try to connect, only 2 of the 10 people have actually been able to. It always gives them the "unable to connect" dialog. I've tried to change servers several times but it still didn't work. Help?

[Zachery]

can you tell me where your chat is located?

[Asterik]

http://chat.gamerzwarehouse.com :D

[Zachery]

worked just fine for me besides a JS error

[Asterik]

What was that ?

Any free IRC channels a rookie like I could connect to? Sites, channels, manuals - whatever about coonnecting to IRC through vB?!

[Zachery]

/home/username/public_html/forum/

open your chatindex.php and put that into the chdir area :)

[deathemperor]

thanks Faranth, it works great

you are looking for a free IRC server ? well, The one I use is: www.hashnet.org , they also guide how to register nick, channel and so on :) have fun !
edit: Faranth, what if I wanna put more smilies in ? simple edit the chat template ? do I need to edit in others file ?

[thuffner]

Any possibilty for a "In Chat Room" option for Who's Online? Or even a "Who's Chatting?" type thing?

Thanks. :)

[dutchbb]

Doesn't work :(

http://www.dutchbodybuilding.com/forum/chat/

chdir("/usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/dutchbodybuilding.com/httpdocs/forum/");


Any idea?

[Zachery]

Connecting...
Unable to connect : access denied (java.net.SocketPermission PalmSprings.CA.US.WorldIRC.Org resolve)

this is a problem on your end :)

[dutchbb]

I changed the server url to: irc.worldirc.org
The port is: 6663
My channel: /join #DutchBodybuilding.com

Everything works in mIRC

But on the chat page I get just a blank page?
Is my path wrong? Do I have to use a password?

Please help me out here.... tnx

[deathemperor]

[Zachery]

for anyone who cant connect it would be this IRC server their java or their pc's/isp's restrictions

[thuffner]

Users with numbers for names are having trouble connecting. Any solution?

[Zachery]

sounds like a server issue sorry >.<

[Asterik]

Is there any way to get this to work outside of our forums directory, and still pick up the usernicks? It works fine, but wont' get their nicknames :O

[Zachery]

yes, as long as all the files form the chat/ directory are in there it should work fine

[cablemirc]

did the zip get corrupted? i get an unexpected end of archive

[RobFerrari]

I'm not sure how this IRC thing works. Seems like everyone is using a 3rd party server for the chat. Why doesn't anyone just install the IRC whatever on their own server? I would really like to keep everything on my server. Is this possible and what is the best software to download for this?

I've installed this mod, I guess I just need the IRC now.

Thank you,
rob

[sunruh]

every site i connect to says
Connecting...
Unable to connect : Connection refused: connect

http://www.ffimpulse.com/forum/chat/

ideas please.

thanks,
steve

I would suggest you get the newest version from vBulletin.org as this version is outdated./

[RobertBasil]

We have newest version running on Pocketbike Planet @ www.pocketbikeplanet.com/chat

It's open to non-members if you want to see a demo.

[eviltone97]

The Silly thing isnt on vBulletin.org... so now what??

[Mr. Brian]
