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.

Will it still have the admin cp integration?

[Zachery]

It will have several small vB Options as it did before.

Just sent it to a beta tester for testing.

Alright, its there, instructions are in the hack post. Please make sure you config your options before reporting errors.

I have waited patiently, and are rewarded with great integration, tnx zach

if people need a server to connect to, and a channel for their own site, join up on

irc.vbulletin-fans.com (port 6667)
If you need help setting up a channel, I am in #vbfans

[Zachery]

All quiet, and I lost an install

Hoping to work some user permissions in and possibly a chanel per usergroup option in the future.

Leave them default.

If you need to edit the path, edit vbxirc_config.php

Works great, but the same problem with Jeta's PJIRC script; if you are signing in as a registered user, it will want a password. The syntax for the identify command on the server I use is /pass (password) is there some way to create a profile field that is the Chatroom Nickname Password or such, and then have pjirc extract the password and issue the command? If you try to manually type "/pass (password)" it will immediately come back and say Not Connected.
