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.

zachery ive checked out the site and found some info on changing the appearance. but it looks like whatever index.php is loading is some creation stuff that i need to change within these files. i want my colors to be changed to something else so i have to edit one of your files i guess to make that happen.

if i overwrite your index.php with what im being told to do, it wont be integrated with the forum and the users connecting using the cookie and all that.

what needs to be altered if i want to edit the colors?

i need to get this code in there somehow:

<param name="righttoleft" value="false">
<param name="pixx:color0" value="#CF0202">
<param name="pixx:color1" value="#CF0202">
<param name="pixx:color2" value="#222222">
<param name="pixx:color3" value="#222222">
<param name="pixx:color4" value="#555555">
<param name="pixx:color5" value="#777777">
<param name="pixx:color6" value="#222222">
<param name="pixx:color7" value="#222222">
<param name="pixx:color8" value="#000000">
<param name="pixx:color9" value="#222222">
<param name="pixx:color10" value="#FFFFFF">
<param name="pixx:color11" value="#FFFFFF">
<param name="pixx:color12" value="#FFFFFF">
<param name="pixx:showconnect" value="false">
<param name="pixx:showchanlist" value="false">
<param name="pixx:showabout" value="false">
<param name="pixx:showhelp" value="false">
<param name="pixx:showclose" value="false">
<param name="pixx:nickfield" value="true">
<param name="pixx:styleselector" value="false">
<param name="pixx:showstatus" value="true">
<param name="pixx:automaticqueries" value="false">
<param name="pixx:showchannelnickmodeapply" value="false">
<param name="pixx:showchanneltopicchanged" value="false">
<param name="pixx:showchannelnickquit" value="false">
<param name="pixx:showchannelnickkick" value="false">
<param name="pixx:showchannelnickpart" value="false">
<param name="pixx:showchannelnickjoin" value="false">

Considering this is all PHP language and I don't seen anywhere how vB altered database communications, is it possible to use this version with a 3.0.x verion of vB? Seems plausible. Anyone advise me? I wanna ask before I attempt.

[Zachery]

Its using 3.5 varible,s you'd need to do some work on it.

Quick question though. Anyone using IE...shows up as a "Guest" in IRC. If Firefox is used...they are logged in with their username.

Any ideas on what that might be.

Ditto!

[Zachery]

Are you sure you are not just logged in on firefox and not in IE.

So far I have been using the PJIRC integration on our forum and I'm waiting to switch to this one as soon as the 'Who's Chatting' feature is added. This is a key feature our users are looking for at the moment and they keep complaining about not knowing if people are in there without connecting. When can we expect this to be added? All I see is 'I've been busy' and I understand that, but please at least give us an estimate. Thanks.

[YoricksRequiem]

For those saying that they're waiting for the "Who's Online to be added", I just went and used the IRC Manager version 2 (running a 3.5.4 vb) and it worked fine. Definitely something to keep in mind while waiting.

Awesome mod, Zachery. Thanks so much.

I posted some about this in the original vBXirc thread, but I don't think it's looked at much so I'll post here. My members are getting strange connection errors. Not all, just some. Most common it seems is:

Connecting...
[07:04] Unable to connect : null
[07:04] Not on a channel
[07:05] Connecting...
[07:05] Unable to connect : null
[07:05] Error : Not connected

What causes that null just for some people?
