About the hack itself, I noticed that unregistered users can see the link to the chat, really I need this so only certain usergroups can see it and use it, can you possibly have some kind of control to do this if you bring another version out.

I will be rolling out EzIRC 2.0.2 sometime soon. I'm not 100% sure yet if the usergroup permissions are the same in vB4 as they were in vB3, but I'll find out. For a temporary fix, you can edit the ezirc.php file, and find "global.php"
After that line (meaning the entire "require("global.php")" line or whatever it is, add:
This will disallow guests from viewing the ezirc.php file

Thanks for that, my site is not live at the moment and everything is in testing so will wait until you are ready for this. Don't know if this is possible, but is there a way for people to save their passwords instead of inputting it in everytime, I am trying to make it so its as easy to use as possible as most of my users don't know IRC commands etc

/msg nickserv register password
/msg NickServ IDENTIFY password

Yeah I could add a options for that, under the IRC Options as well. Not a bad idea at all.

Since vB4 is still in Beta, I won't be making releases ASAP, I'll be ironing out bugs and working on other products as well [even if they are simple mods as such, it might just help in a users' transition to vB4]

1. This is not user->irc server client, but user->mibbit->ircserver client. So if Mibbit dont have a Iline to some ircserver, you are not able to use any own one. For example you cant use polish ircservers, or other taht are not in same country that mibbit server AND mibbit dont have iline for them.

Another thing, what about support for premium mibbit users? it woulkd be nice to have own account merged into script, coz there are no ads and more things to set;]

good idea anyways. ill vote;]

Well it is a work in progress, and toonsnn has said that he will add support for others apart from mibbit, using vbirc is very good and the support is second to none, Floris will take some beating I think :)

About premium... you can always change a line in .xml file... there is ID that you get on mibbit. You can put own one then, if you change some design on mibbit site, it will be done on your chat in second;]
well about Ilines and chat mod, there is no way that coder of mod wil do it, it is a mater of mibbit site and server and their actions...

for another way you can always use pjirc and use any server you like on your vb....

totally agree :up:

I will be implementing an way to change the Mibbit id thing. That's something that also allows you to control the style.

vbirc is the default on this product, and vbirc network is in close contact with mibbit. And we have webirc and mibbit access lines. And it's set to be basically wide open. Making it a quick and as smooth as possible experience. No identd support is required too for example. And if you lose your connection you can quickly reconnect so works great on iPhones or netbooks, etc. Without ending up getting auto blocked due to cloning or things like that.

Yeah, I like the idea of the widget hash part to be potentially dynamic. Perhaps hide this under debug mode? Something I will talk about with toons on #ezirc chat

This looks like a fantastic mod, is up and installed on our test site no problemo at all. What we're after is something to replace our basic shoutbox so we probably wouldn't use a lot of the features, at least initially anyway. Given this, these are what I see as the basic things we're after for it:

1. Single, private, hidden channel - this is for our members only and we can be an unsociable bunch :p.
2. Able to change the style to that of our forums.
3. NO ADS!! Now I know as Floris as said this is how they get their money, but would be willing to pay a monthly fee to not have them, is this possible?
4. Usergroup permissions to be carried across, be nice with usergroup colours automatically on the names if possible too.
5. Single login, i.e. users have logged into the site so can access the chat without having to login again.
6. History of chat, be able to see say the last 30 comments made before you logged in???

That's all, not much really is it :p. I do realise most of these have been brought up before and are being currently looked at as this is in beta as well as VB. The list is as much so I can remember my thoughts on it.

Keep up the great work guys, I'll def be keeping an eye on this :).

Nice, mod is up for MOTM on vborg here, https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=229223

1- Yes, you can make one or more public or private channels.
2- Something that's being worked on I believe.
3- Yes, you could change the widget code to replace with your domain ad-free paid widget code to match, if not now, it's being worked on.
4- No, this is not possible. I can't imagine how.
5- Not really possible. An irc network is its own network, totally separate from the forums.
6- IRC Chat is live chat, so what's there, when you are there, is there. Everything else isn't.
You could have a chat log bot in the room, and have the logs published on a site for download.

Thanks for the reply Floris :). Yeah I realise it's a separate network and all that, just sort of wondered if it's possible to automatically pass along the username and channel password to the chat when the users click on the chat button, colours/permissions aren't a biggy at all.

List of the last few chats would be good, but again isn't a game breaker.

IN the chat room, type: /mode #chatroomname +k some_key

like: /mode #banana +k secr3t

Then inside the ezirc vboptions set room to join, to: banana secr3t

maybe you're lucky and that works.

installed but have question where i can set permission iwhen i click its said you dont have permission to access even not for admin i cant see any option in usergroups and also in ezirc help me fix to this plz

Hello

i get also error message " There was an error in the configuration for this product. Please contact the Administrator for help. "

some help?

macc

Any way you can change this? It won't work with my IRC channel on Freenode. It says that Freenode no longer accepts Mibbit.

Some networks have specific servers/ports that you have to use in order to connect with Mibbit. I had to contact support at gameSurge to get the information as it wasn't available on their website. They were fine giving it out, it's just not something they post really. So basically, try contacting the support for Freenode and see what they say.

As we are getting close to a gold release for vBulletin, would love to see this awesome hack updated with some of the suggestions in the thread :)

demo URL doesn't work.

The requested URL /ezirc.php was not found on this server.

Gonna uninstall this mod and wait for another one to come around.

Two thumbs down. :down::down:

How can you give it negative feedback when the coder has constantly said that he's not updating it until vBulletin goes gold? Surely as a coder yourself you would understand that ??? :down::down:

hope it will be possible to choose other servers
meaning add our own...
cause vbirc. :p tsk tsk

Quakenet / Eunet undernet users
usually want their regular channels.

You can.

Even if he updates it, it won't do any bother since the IRC server I use banned mibbit, the entire base of his hack.

well he plainly says what is hack does use mibbit and a future release will support PJIRC, I am not pretending to know all there is to know about IRC and so on, but to give the guy a thumbs down because of a problem you have, is a bit unfair, you are a coder, why don't you build your own that will support what you want?

Because I manage a game that my developers code that is over 350,000 lines of C++ dealing with anywhere between 10 and 50 bugs a day, and my PHP/MySQL devs are dealing with our 2GB database filled with custom data and building a custom site from scratch.

My opinion is two thumbs down because it does not fit my needs. You can't change my opinion. Yes, it's a beta release and most likely will change when it's fully released. Asking for 100% working mods like vB3 have is insane when vB4 isn't released yet.

Exactly, but you knew that to begin with, its like having an xbox and you are trying ps3 games on it, so it doesn't work, so you give two thumbs down to xbox because the game didn't work, it makes little sense, if you want this hack to work for you, change the irc chat you are using!

I did not know it would not work until I installed it. Just as you don't know if a game will suck or not until you buy it. I'm not going to use the mod and give it two thumbs down because of the issues.

I'm not going to change our IRC server because of a mod that doesn't fit our needs, I'll just change the mod.

I'm trying to disable the Mibbit feature and it won't work with it disabled apparently. The link and everything is still there, but an error message appears:

There was an error in the configuration for this product. Please contact the Administrator for help.

I'd like to be able to disable this because I want the members of the forum to chat under their registered names and have only those allowed registered members to be able to participate. Any help will be appreciated.

Also, I'm having some trouble figuring out how to work the moderation for the IRC chat. The last thing my site had was a Shout Box so its pretty different. Are there ways to assign permanent people to moderate the chat?

Thanks

If you wait until vbulletin goes gold, the author has promised to update this hack, so perhaps that will be one of the updates?

if you could get a version of pjirc to use SSL ports then most of the features people have been asking for will be resolved.

i have been using pjirc and vb for a while on a server with only that 1 problem

Personally, I would like it to auto sign in with the users username. I know there was a mod for this on previous versions of vbulletin. would be a nice addition to this one.

I got it working, had to change this code

to

I'm eagerly waiting an update for Vbulletin Gold!

Fatal error: Call to undefined function render_navbar_template() in /home2/***/public_html/****/ezirc.php on line 38

SOme Help plsss

I'm sorry that I've been gone. I will be working on this over the winter break. Lots of stuff going on, but finally calmed down.

I need to reinstall a vB4 board and I can get this done.

I can't wait for pjirc support!

Thanks for this, toony!

..... FWIW .....

You either did not upload ezirc.php to your directory, or it's in the wrong directory...
