vBXirc 3.0.0 Beta 1
 

This is an early build of vBXirc.

This is a beta hack, use at your own risk.

Known issues:
[X] At present time, I am not yet filtering templates for replacement urls 100%

• Resolved by not having any rules to filter and or replace

[] Smilies options have not been added into the Settings or the chat template
[] There are no usergroup settings at this time.
[] This hack as not yet been installed on any live systems, but my test system worked 99% fine.

• very short private beta test

[] pjirc is the only supported java module at this time

• There is a way to add 1 additional template at this time.

Planned Ideas / Future Features:
[] Add some sort of session tracking to show users are in the chat
[] Usergroup permissions
[] Smilie options

Some new things in general:
As of 3.0.0, we have moved to the plugin system and only vBulletin 3.5.0. All support for versions before 3.0.0 (vBXirc) and 3.5.0 (vBulletin) hae been discontinued.
Multiple Client support, over the next few months I will be adding more client support as I find them. If you have your own or have one you like and want it added, you can make your own called custom.cht and put it into the inc directory and select the custom option in the ACP Settings. If you want to submit a client, please email vbxirc [at] digitalkore (dot) net, It will be revied and if it can be added it will. The current template is located in inc/pjirc.cht.

I think thats it for now.


The code is atad messy atm as its early/late and I know it works correctly.

Install Instructions
1. Upload the Chat Folder to your forums directory
2. Upload / Import the Product file
3. Configure settings
4. Add a link to the navbar
5. Enjoy


Better install instructions and a complete installer soon.

Its up and ready.

Taking attachment down momentarlly to fix some issues.

screenies?

Ummm a bit more detailed instructions for n00bs like me? :)
I would also like screenies! :)

If beta 1 has any problem can it cause harm to the forums or just the chat wont function properly?

edit: Just saw that there are better instructions planned. :) I think that I'll wait till a RC... (or maybe I'll install it in my test forums when I have time)

Screenshot is right here buddy. https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachmen...chmentid=15763

Thanks for upgrading the hack. I will definetly install it once it's back.

I meant screenshots of the applet, not the admincp options! :)
I will install it definalely too but not as a beta...

I don't think he took any other screenshots of the hack besides the one I have posted.

Is your extension much diferent from the one using PJIRC? Maybe you and author of the other one could get together?

Yep, that's why we are asking for one! :)

I took a look at jenta's Its not exactly the same, I take some extra precautions, but its a user choice at this point in time. I think my code ends up with atad cleaner username.

vBXirc was my pjirc hack for 2.0 3.0 and I was running it for 3.5 locally (minus all the fancy stuff).

vBXirc will be expanded to use other clients over time
It seems now that all of jenta's files are in the root directory, this makes things cluttered for me, mine is a chat folder.

Pretty cool but I'm sticking with Jenta's hack for now.

:)

...and will get back to your hack once it goes Gold, me too. :)

I'll upload this again alter today after I've goten some sleep and can run though a few tests and hopefully fix some more code up.

Slight side issue, my server company won't allow me to set-up an IRC on my server. Could anyone recommend any IRC servers I could use to run pjirc so I can then use this cool hack?

Quakenet is fine, I'm using it myself for my channel, you just got to get an L in your channel so noone can take it over, lots of people on Efnet aswell.

what haappened that u took the file down ?

love your old one Sir.

/me installs when it is uploaded.

Awesome! Looking forward to replacing my ghetto version. :)

Thanks Zachery, I've been looking forward to this. I've been using the flashchat hack, but just as a temp solution until your irc hack is ready to go.

great to see you working on this Zachery, i would prefer it to a java chat - cheers

When I released this I was going on very few hours of sleep :p I removed it as after I had goten some sleep I relized how many stupid noob coder mistakes I had made.

'' instead of "" in some places etc.

I want to polish the system atidbit more before releasing it, and at least get all the template replacements working.

Now if you have questions / comments / feature requests / client requests

lemme know :)

it would be great to see whos in chat addon coming with that plugin

TIA

Thats on my todo list and I think I've goten it figured out, I just need to work on the ajax end of things :)

will we be able to make skins for this, or at least to change the background, text colors, links, etc?

pjirc's pixx interface supports styling and it has for awhile now, I will try to include some documents on what changes what after release.

A feature I would love to see would be having the irc client update a field in the database that shows how many/who are online (maybe even how much activety there is in the chat). I would love to see that ;)

main features. mutli themes capable so it adapts to the current user theme. i think ya already have that.

need a count of whats going on how many users in the chat. and so on. would be nice to be able to strip some code for the last so and so lines as well..

there are some old eggdrop scripts for the old version of vbulletin and since your a coder you might be able to use that and do some updating to allow eggdrop or mirc script to update the users..

Nice one Zak ;) I'll sure use it on Square Ultima after some other things are ready to go for it's upgrade to 3.5 ;)

[high]* Dan clicks install[/high]

I help run a very small irc server. You are welcome to open a #chan on it.
irc.ircjunkys.com

Like i said the server is very small, but it has been their for 6 or 7 years and is very reliable.


******* I look forward to installing this hack.

Thanks, dreck

When is a RC expected???

Thanks Zachery, I will test this out. :)

How can you install if there are no files uploaded to install? :p

Install meaning I clicked install. ;)

you shouldnt be installing anything :P you should be working on vbspace and getting that done :) thats my most anticipated hack

Zachery don't listen to him!!

vbXirc is more anticipated than vbspace! :p :p

Ermmmm... Hasn't it been quite a long time since the attachment was taken down?

Patience is a virtue. :)

Yep, I agree but I don't have that virtue :p

Still nothing...
Can we pleeeeease have an EDA??
