https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=258832

Premium
To purchase and view more information on our premium no-branding version of PJIRC Chatbox, please visit my
Products & Services.

The premium version has the following features, and includes free updates:
Copyright removed
Auto Set Name Based On Forum Username
vBulletin Password to Access IRC
Custom Background Image
Custom Quit Message
Usergroup Permissions

I am taking suggestions!!!

To Do:

• Add AdminCP setting to ban UserIDs
• Add AdminCP setting to change the looks of the chatbox
• Add AdminCP setting to enable/disable the background image
• Add a toolbar to popup the chat in a new window

Installation:
1.) Upload the contents of the upload folder to your forum's root.

2.) Import the product-lightircchatbox.xml.

3.) Enter the settings via the AdminCP. If you need an IRC server try irc.ipocalypse.net

4.) Navigate to chatbox.php via your forums.

Optional
If you do not want to use the navigational link insertion, you can add this code to your navbar template.

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="chatbox.php">Chatbox</a></td>

If you want to only allow certain groups use this code:

<if condition="is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 1, 2, 3)"><td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="chatbox.php">Chatbox</a></td></if>

If you want to only deny certain groups then use this one:

<if condition="!is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 1, 2, 3)"><td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="chatbox.php">Chatbox</a></td></if>

Upgrading:
Import the product and select Allow Overwrite.

I tell you I am a noob at this still lmao.
Thanks much for a great mod, I appreciate it very much :up:

No problems mate. Expect an update to it soon. =]

This is a good mod. Please take it to the next level in customization. I have installed it on my website and I am having my users test it now. It is very good so far.

I have a question. Where can I change the text in Help? I use mibbit.com. Does mibbit.com control that?

It's on my To Do list. I ran out of time when releasing 2.0 so I didn't have time to code that option in yet. Will be in next release. =]

Also, is it possible to set it so only the members who registered can use the chat room?

I'm guessing you didn't read my to-do list in the first post.

Good start, trying it out:up:


update: love it!!

Suggestion:

To add a link in the navbar:

in navbar template.. find:

 
$vbphrase[calendar]</a></td>

Under that paste

     

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="http://www.yoursite.com/chatbox.php?$session[sessionurl]">IRC Chatbox</a></td>

__________________________________________________ ____________________________


This is no longer needed as usergroups can now be chosen in admincp.

Or, this is to only allow certain usergroups (Admin only for example)to see the link in the navbar:


	
	
<if condition="$bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 6">
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="http://www.yoursite.com/chatbox.php?$session[sessionurl]">IRC Chatbox</a></td>

Lol I was a little ahead of you and had that in the new 2.7 version. All though I used hooks, so if you guys don't like the placement just disable automatic navbar placement and use Medtech's first code. The second won't matter since when you disallow usergroups, those usergroups won't see the navbar link.

[rchelifan]

Medtech, thank I am going to use that for my Registered group for now.

Another suggestion would be a block showing the number or user names of people who are in the Chat Room.

[rchelifan]

I just needed </if> at the end of the code.

How about if I want more than just want groups, do I just add a coma and the group ID to it?

The above code is more efficient. Just change it to the usergroups you want to allow.Although remember that if you use the Automatic Navbar edit, that the groups you disallowed won't see the navbar, but again if you don't like where it would place the navigational link, then the above code would work as well.


If you wanted to just allow all groups, but disallow only certain groups just use this code:

<if condition="!is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 1, 2, 3)"><td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="chatbox.php">Chatbox</a></td></if>
