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 would do what you said.

host 1 for the forum
host 2 for the java applet.

If you got cash to burn it would be useful to buy a hosting account for $5 with its on unique ip address and bind a dns entry to that ip so say irc.website.com is binded to that ip then you can use that java irc throught that.

Its how i have my irc server now running from irc.ragezone.com as its on a secondary server.

Hope that helps.

curious.......

yeap collaspable chat window...is a nice idea...

Floris · #14 02-14-2006, 10:13 AM

Yeah, this was made, since v2 up to 3 and 3.5 by Zachery, it's called vBXIRC.

Zelda-King · #15 02-14-2006, 07:11 PM

I already use pjirc so setting this up was initially a breeze, but my chatroom is on a site webpage. How would I go about cropping the rest of the page out? (IE won't scroll down to the applet.)

MentaL · #16 02-14-2006, 08:38 PM

Only real way is to setup a second page using the code above as it uses the margins so it gives no boarders... if there is another way then i cant think of one but at the end of the day its a small extra html file to upload so :P no biggy.

Zelda-King · #17 02-14-2006, 09:20 PM

Yeah, that's what I ended up doing. I guess it's fine like this.

srpompon · #18 02-14-2006, 11:35 PM

it uses first predefined name, all other connections use the second predefined name with a random number on the end.. or

/nick Newname

:P

Some questions here, simple to answer, I guess...

I wouldn't like to mess with irc server instalation, so I linked to my channel on irc.vbulletin-fans.com

Some, I guess, basics on irc... Sorry for my stupidity

1. Can I make myself an OP in that chatroom, everytime I login (register my nick?)
2. How do I set the topic in chatroom?

Any FAQ on those things?

Thx for any info
Nenad

1: would need an irc client like MIRC to do that
2: double clicking the main window i think would do that.
