JIRC Chat hack.. Instant Smilies ??

[tpearl5]

Take a look at my board located at http://johnsworld.com/tattlerboard and click on 'Live Chat!'. I just set everything up tonight.

My question is: What am I doing wrong with the Smilies? Take a look at the source code. (http://johnsworld.com/tattlerboard/f...s=&forumid=240) Everything you need should be there.

Is there anyway to remove the forum stats on the 'Chat Forum' on the main page?

Also, I noticed at coasterforum.com they're using jIRC implamented slightly different. If anyone cares to take a look at that and explain how it was done, that would be cool


Thanks

Anyone?

The smiles must be in the same dir as the cab files, and the html being run....

That shows as 404, so your smiles aren't there...

I want this chatroom too ,can you tell me how to build it in vb2.0?

Go to this thread: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showt...threadid=17866

I modified a lot of the parameters in jIRC to make it work the way I want. Take a look at my source for those parameters. DO NOT COPY THEM EXACTLY! The servers and channel names will be different.

I'm still having trouble with the servers. I haven't tried moving my smilies yet. I'll give it a shot.

We have an implementation up at http://tony.murmurs.com as well, but its pretty much using default JIRC config with some funky stuff on the backend to show who's in the room.

That's neat! It looks just like the UBB chat hack without the invite. (a chat invite would be a great feature, btw) Where did chat.php come from and how does it count who's chatting in the room?

Also, how did you set up the bot?

Putting the smilies in the main directory didn't seem to work. They show up on the main chat page, but not in the actual chat area.. strange..

I should probably write up detailed instructions....

THe bot is a program called PHP Egg:

http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...lease_id=30975

Basically it logs IRC activity in the channel it monitors into a SQL database. I'll post the code that reads it later tonight.

chat.php is a page I wrote, using the code posted elsewhere about integrating jpilot. Not too sophisticated

That bar that show's who's chatting uses a simple query to the bot's database to see who's active in the room (excluding both bots of course).

What is the Invite feature? How did it work?

Cool! You should release it as a hack! I'm not too handy with PHP (yet)

I'll check out that bot asap.

The invite feature basically displayed a list of people online to the user in the chat. It gave them the option to choose who to send an invite to. The invited user would recieve a message (like the PM notification) to go to the chat.

You can see my old board here: http://johnsworld.com/cgibin/mhs/ultimatebb.cgi (click on the chat)

Notice how the chat is integrated very cleanly! It would detect the users online by pulling from the 'Who's Online Hack'. It didn't work very well however, because it could only count the user if they were using jIRC on the link: ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=chat . It also wouldn't count them if they were in the chat for more then 15 min. (the assigned 'online time' period) The way you have it setup would solve that problem and create a new hack for vB.

I'll release it as a hack I think.

Now, for invite I wonder if that new pop-up message hack would be useful to use in conjunction with it? Or just PM?
