IIS file extension issues. Where ".pixx" does not exist, and disallows IIS to "show" them to the outside world.

I don't use IIS, but from PJIRC's FAQ:

http://www.pjirc.com/help.php?p=0&faq_id=15

Just rename them to txt and define it in the param.

There's quite a few resources on this in the PJIRC Forums.

Oh har. Didn't ever look there. Thanks.

I've been a little busy due to competitions and exams with my school, I'll finish up 2.0.2 asap.

Also, I've included a small way of starting usergroup permissions, but it's not a bitfield yet. It's currently an ACP option that denies guests, and another option that allows you to list IDs you want to deny from the chat.
Mibbit Settings hash is now a vBulletin option (don't mess with unless you know what you're doing)
not much more done but small template cleanups

If you need any other help, let me know.

A few things I have noticed with PJIRC are:

Needs to be a CodeBase setting in the settings to allow for the IRC to work outside of the directory the JAR files are.

<applet code=IRCApplet.class codebase="{vb:raw vboptions.ezircvb4_codebase}" archive="irc.jar,pixx.jar" width=640 height=400>

codebase would be http://path.to/files


To make the nick of the user from the forums:

<param name="nick" value="{vb:raw bbuserinfo.username}">

To join a channel:

<param name="command1" value="/join {vb:raw vboptions.ezircvb4_chan}">

Also, the pixx GUI allows for color changing.

http://www.pjirc.com/help.php?p=0&faq_id=16

It will take some time, but I could help making an admincp option for this if you like.

<param name="pixx:color1" value="{vb:raw vboptions.ezircvb4_color1}">
<param name="pixx:color2" value="{vb:raw vboptions.ezircvb4_color2}">
<param name="pixx:color3" value="{vb:raw vboptions.ezircvb4_color3}">

Nah it'll be fine, but you've got a lot more time it seems to actually go through the PJIRC website lol I just usually glance over it and figure things out by messing with crap. I'll make a option group for the colors itself.
The nicks are going to have to work the same way I did mibbit, and didn't ever get to do for my EzIRC 1.x for 3.x
The channel joining is obvious lol xD
And as far as the codebase goes, I usually set it to just the folder "pjirc" or something along those lines, with a index.php leading to the forums.

I appreciate the help, I sure as heck didn't know how to do colors. Will implement into next version

I am getting requests to clean up the usernames from vbulletin to work on irc.

Extended characters should be stripped,
spaces should be stripped,
irc nickname can't start with a number,
can only be up to length x.

Stuff like that.

function cleanUp(); // cleaning up forum name to be ready for irc

a function could be used perhaps to clean up the forum name to be ready or irc, and parse that on to pjirc and/or mibbit. This way something like:

"00mr floris@¡™£" should end up "mrfloris"

And properly connect.

[toonysnn]

I've actually had a function that does that. I suppose it wasn't working too well.

EDIT: I've rewritten the regular expression. It seems to have succeeded in a test. Implementing in 2.0.2

Could anyone check and tell me if this'd be alright?
([a-zA-Z\_\`\^]{1,32}[a-zA-Z0-9\_\`\^]{0,31})

[toonysnn]

If you'd like usernames to work as suggested (which I never knew the proper rules for the IRC names so it'll be fun working out little bugs with it :P) here's the code.

First, open ezirc.php and find:

PHP Code:

function parseName($name) 


Replace the entire function with:

PHP Code:

function parseName($name)
{
        $name = ereg_replace("([^A-Za-z\_\`\^]{1}[^a-zA-Z0-9\_\`\^]{0,31})", "", $name);
        return $name;
} 


This is (obviously) included with 2.0.2
And for further notice, this thread will be a secondary checking place for support. I'll check every day, but I will mainly be on my forum (while debugging and working on EzIRC live, as well as backend functionality, etc.)
