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.

great to see you working on this Zachery, i would prefer it to a java chat - cheers

[Zachery]

When I released this I was going on very few hours of sleep I removed it as after I had goten some sleep I relized how many stupid noob coder mistakes I had made.

'' instead of "" in some places etc.

I want to polish the system atidbit more before releasing it, and at least get all the template replacements working.

Now if you have questions / comments / feature requests / client requests

lemme know

pjirc's pixx interface supports styling and it has for awhile now, I will try to include some documents on what changes what after release.

A feature I would love to see would be having the irc client update a field in the database that shows how many/who are online (maybe even how much activety there is in the chat). I would love to see that

[Vizionz]

main features. mutli themes capable so it adapts to the current user theme. i think ya already have that.

need a count of whats going on how many users in the chat. and so on. would be nice to be able to strip some code for the last so and so lines as well..

there are some old eggdrop scripts for the old version of vbulletin and since your a coder you might be able to use that and do some updating to allow eggdrop or mirc script to update the users..

I help run a very small irc server. You are welcome to open a #chan on it.
irc.ircjunkys.com

Like i said the server is very small, but it has been their for 6 or 7 years and is very reliable.


******* I look forward to installing this hack.

Thanks, dreck
