Vbulletin Java Chat · **Released**: 02-12-2006

Hi,

What this does is simply add a link which pops up in a window and connects to your specified irc server via a third party java application. We shall be using the freely distributed pjirc for this modifcation.

Installation

Download this file (pjirc) and extract to desktop, rename the folder to something suitable like irc and then upload to your server. (make sure to check the code in the bottom of this post for further customizations and correct dimensions)
Go to your admin panel and copy the following code into the header template

Code:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
 
<!-- Begin
 
function popUp(URL) {
 
day = new Date();
 
id = day.getTime();
 
eval("page" + id + " = window.open(URL, '" + id + "', 'toolbar=0,scrollbars=0,location=0,statusbar=0,menubar=0,resizable=0,width=640,height=400,left = 256,top = 232');");
 
}
 
// End -->
 
</script>

Go to your navbar template and you can either do what i do and replace the calander link with the below code or add it yourself, anyways here is the code (make sure to edit the link to the address of the files you uploaded) and then save.

Code:

<A HREF="javascript:popUp('http://website.com/forum/irc/')">Java IRC</A>

woola, you intergrated a java irc client into your forum without any hassle.

your irc will require customization in order for it to fit so here is my file i named index.html so once that the link is clicked, it opens the window exactly in the perfect dimensions, your welcome to use this code, also included in the pjirc are more heavy versions of the java client but this one in my opinion is perfect, BE SURE TO EDIT THE SERVER AND NAMES TO YOUR LIKING (ONES IN RED)

I like this and have installed it with no problems using an existing irc server.

How can I get the window to stay on top?

Dumb question, but I've used mIRC for years and know IRC fairly well, but...

I know my hosting provider explicitly states I can't run an IRC server. Do you guys think this in any way violates that? I keep thinking from the looks of it, it's just a client that connects to an IRC server, as opposed to running some IRC daemon, for example, on my server.

Thank you for writing this hack! It works perfectly on my forums.

Hi, I'm running VB 3.6.3, and I've uploaded the folder to my server, added the code to the header, and replaced the calendar with the chat code. It looks okay, everything shows up where they should, but when I click on the chat link it opens a window and nothing. I'm hosted on Godaddy, and I get a PAGE NOT FOUND error. Is there another step that I missed? Thanks. I know this is an old thread, but hopefully someone will have some info.

I am on godaddy too - getting the same error. Anyone?

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
