vBXirc

PLEASE READ

This thread is only here for users who have already installed this hack, there is no longer a public version of vBXirc for vBulletin 3.0.x

There will be a 3.5.x version in the near future.

Sorry for any problems this may have caused.

I got the chat to work partially. I was able to get the chat window to come up after finding a typo. Now within the chat window I get "Connecting....unable to connect: null".

Is this because I do not have a channel still? I have tried the commands that are in dal,net docs but don't know if I am doing them right because I can not get them to work. Help?

unable to connect: null means that the server cannot be reached, or doesnt support java clients.

I got the chat working fully but I just wanted to know if there is a way to allow other members to see who's in the chat????

Thanks

Is there someplace where you could send me to like a link for Creating Channels For Dummies, LOL.

To create a chatroom of your own, you need to be connected to the server and just try to goto a room that does not currently exist. So in your ACP where you select the server you wish to connect to, just put in your chatroom too. For example, my chatroom is called DKDChat. You should avoid spaces in your chatroom name as some servers do not accept them.

Hi! I had a chat prog on my website, but decided I'd rather have one that was integrated into VB, and this look liked the ticket. Very cool hack!

Alas, I'm having installation problems. I followed all directions carefully, but although I see all the new templates, there is no new admincp settings box, and whenever I access the chat room, I receive:

Warning: chdir(): No such file or directory (errno 2) in /home/virtual/site238/fst/var/www/html/forums/chat/index.php on line 19

Warning: main(./global.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/virtual/site238/fst/var/www/html/forums/chat/index.php on line 44

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required './global.php' (include_path='.:/php/includes:/usr/share/php') in /home/virtual/site238/fst/var/www/html/forums/chat/index.php on line 44

help!

You need to set your chdir :P

Thanks, I was hoping it would be just something stupid like that, but alas, I'm still having some technical difficulty, and I can't fathom what could possibly be wrong. I still don't see anything in the admincp, despite pressing F5 compulsively, and the chat room's attempted logins prove in vain. It reads upon activation:

The copy and paste popup works, though :nervous: !

Here is what I have in my ACP:
IRC Server = broadway.ny.us.dal.net
Port Number = 6667
Room Name = #geomaine

But every time I try and connect it gives me a "Unable to connect : null", I have tried changing my IRC Server to a couple different ones that dal,net has but still get the same things error message. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I put everything back to the way it way. I did use Dreamweaver to undo the edits. But how can I fix the link in the admincp? (Without using Dreamweaver again)

I got it working. I used irc.slashnet.org and was able to get a connection. I am a now a little confused as to how to become a moderator of the group.
