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.

It's not that my irc server or my server doesn't allow java chat's I downloaded the pjirc for the site and it worked flawless the first time , so I think it's alot deeper than just saying what I have seen said so far. I like the hack cause I would use my database for my forums , but I guess that's all a pipe dream after beating my head for 4 hrs trying to solve a issue.

This hack gives me unable to connect: null
Pjirc works flawless

Doesn't make sense to me :disappointed:

It can also happen with bad cache etc. So clear out internet temp files. At one stage, I needed to reinstall java run time on my PC and reboot my PC before I got rid of the dread Connect: null problem. So the server worked, but the PC did not.

Hey, Zach! Awesome work you're doing, but I've been running into trouble. I'm pretty new when it comes to this stuff, and as a result, your readme wasn't as clear to me as it was for everyone else. Let me paste to you exactly what I mean, hopefully you can help me out Sesame Street style lol:

Step 1:

Check. Got everything right.

Step 2:

Check. Got everything right.

Step 3: "Upload all files to their proper directories"

This is where I got lost. Upload all the files contained in the zip to one specific directory or separate directories? I don't know what the proper directories are. Can you help me here?

Step 4:

Check.

Step 5: "Now you're almost done! It's time to add the vBXirc settings and templates. Run the install script from your browser by going to http://yoursite.com/forum/admincp/vbxirc_install.php."

I get lost even more here. How did the vbxirc_install.php arrive in that directory to begin with? Is the /admincp folder the place where I dump all the contents of the zip file?

Please help me out here. I really want this wonderful chat of yours to be up and running soon!!

Upload the CHAT folder to your forum's root directory, upload vbxirc_install.php to your admincp directory

Can i ask why im getting
"Connecting......."
Unable to connect: null

You have to add a server in the adminCp under VB Options / vBXirc Settings.
The server has to allow Java chats to connect.
