Is the VB Chat turned OFF??

I went to www.vbulletin.org and click on the upper right link tiltled CHAT. The applet loaded, and although I was logged in with my user name showng, inside the chat box it said:

Looking up your hostname

Found your hostname (cache)

That nickname is erroneus. Enter another one.

Sounds like your username doesn't play well with the irc server. If you get that error type "/nick nicknamehere" (without the quotes, replace nicknamehere with the nick you want to use).

I use the same Chat, and on my IRC server (EFNet) from what I can tell names with spaces aren't allowed. The applet is setting your nick as "David Copeland", which is why it's bouncing you.

Brad, if you come up with a way to truncate spaces, I'd be mucho appreciative of seeing how you do it. :)

If you mean to remove spaces inside names, you could use simply:

PHP Code:


		
			
$name = str_replace(" ", "", $name);

Aah, outstanding, thanks. :D I've no idea how to get php to actually pull the vb name variable and stuff it into $name, but I'll look into doing it. :D

(Sorry for turning this into an impromptu quick hack support discussion, lol)

Or better yet :D

PHP Code:


		
			
$name = preg_replace('/[^A-Za-z0-9-_`\[\]]/i', '', $name);

Ahh those regular expressions... They are too difficult :(

At first yes, but once you get the hang of them they become very powerful. :)
