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.

Yes I have tried it on other computers and I get the same message.

If you don't mind I can send you the link in a PM and pre-register you on my site ahead of time or if I see you on AIM I can page you. I will not do that without your approval though.

I got it working. So I think I am all set now.

Zachery, thanks so much for this facility.

I installed it on our site, and it is working great.

We have decided to move to a different IRC connection....
one which uses SSL (Secure Socket Layers) for security reasons.

One aspect of this, is that the port number must now be prefixed with a "+" (plus sign).

After I made this change, I now encounter an edit error with respect to
the connection string about an invalid character.

Any chance you could modify your logic to allow for this ?

And... accordingly... do you think there will be any problem using your facility to connect to an IRC server which now employs SSL ??????

Thanks again

Zach,

Please help. I want to add the header and footer to my chat so that it looks "integrated" within the site. However, it seems like I'm having problems with the image paths. How do you set it so it gets the images from the /forums directory instead of /forums/chat?

Thanks a lot for the help and great hack!

I think a forum-admin should know enough HTML to know that.

But here what you want:

<img src="../images/IMAGE.GIF" alt="" border="0" />

This would open the image "IMAGE.GIF" in the forums/images folder.

Is it possible to integrate a current active users in this? If so, could someone help? Great hack, installed it!

I just downloaded the latest and how come I can't prevent guests from entering and how come it doesn't automatically use the username on the forums?

Is there going to be an update?

[Snake]

Is this going to be updated for v3.6.2 or not? I'm really looking forward to this.

Hi,

it's working with 3.6.2 and also working with newest pjirc.
I'm searching for a nice clickable smily bar like FunChat for phpbb.
Perhaps somebody knows, how can i realize it (i'm not a java programmer).

Regards, Stoebi
