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

<a href="#" onClick="window.open('$vboptions[bburl]/chat/','key','WIDTH=750,HEIGHT=575,scrollbars=no,');return false">Chat</a></td>

5. Enjoy


Better install instructions and a complete installer soon.

You're not trying to use the secure client are you?

[attroll]

I don't know if the client is a secure client. It was the same client I use to use when I used your original vBXirc.

How can I tell if it is a secure client?

Do you have any other client recommendations?

I'm having a hard time searching for IRC stuff in relation to 3.6 - is there anything out yet? I'm inexperienced with IRC and new to vBulletin, so I'm starting from scratch in trying to set all this up.

[Zachery]

This should work with 3.6/

I am still getting this error and I have tried several different IRC hosting places. Could someone please help me ot tell me what I am doing wrong.

Connecting...
Unable to connect : com.ms.security.SecurityExceptionEx : cannot connect to "irc.slashnet.org"

Does this have something to do with my IRC Server? I have it set in my admincp to irc.slashnet.org. This is the one I use to use before.

No I am not behind a firewall that I know of.

I am still getting the following error:
