Chat Modifications - [CTech] Chat: IRC (Webchat)

About the Add-on
This add-on utilizes qwebirc to provide a web irc interface to your forums. I have created this for my site and releasing here for everyone (free to use). You are not allowed to remove the copyright text.

Features

• Easy to configurable admincp options
  • guest name/prefix
  • channels to join
  • server to use
• Automatic tab in navbar
• stylevars support

Features to Come

• some navbar related options (dropdown menu)
• chat window as a popup window (in menu)
• irc:// link in menu
• ability to work even if your site is closed (and may be during database problems too)
• facebook styled chat (might release it as a separate add-on though)

Supported vB Version
check above. It may or may not work on previous versions. I don't really care.

How to Install
Estimate Install Time: less than 2 minutes.

1. Extract the zip file in your computer
2. Rename the admincp folder to match your server admincp folder if you have changed it
3. Upload all the files in /upload to your forum directory
4. import the product XML using add product in admincp
5. Configure the product [ admincp > Crimson Tech Products > Chat: IRC ... ]
6. Enjoy!

Support
I will try to support this add-on and add-on users for as long as I can. But no support unless you click INSTALL!
Also, don't forget to rate the add-on.

It does a little bit more than iframe code. Who is stopping you from copy pasting iframe code?
Also, the qwebirc is properly credited which you'd see if you weren't blind.
Thanks.

Did you upload all the files properly?

[NoMatt3r]

Yes, i've uploaded all files again and tried to re-install but still the same error.

And if i click on the navbar "Webchat" i get 404 Not Found. Really weird. Other addons work fine.

EDIT: Although, i've done nothing the add-on works now as supposed to. It might have been my webserver. Thank you anyway. Great add-on!

Hello we have Navigation manager, how can I change to control the tab from with that?I want only users register view webchat

[Dragaon]

I just installed the mod and I'm getting this when trying to load the chat

qchat.rizon.net uses an invalid security certificate.
The certificate expired on 01/03/2015 03:44 PM.
The current time is 01/07/2015 08:38 AM. (Error code: sec_error_expired_certificate)

I will unload it until this issue is resolved. i hope that's soon, seems like a good mod.

[Dragaon]

i just changed the server it connects to in options to https://qwebirc.afternet.org and the mod works fine. If the cert gets updated on rizon i'll set it back.

Marked as installed, nice work

[user25148]

Works great. Anyone know how to get it to show up in the forums instead of in its own navtab?

[friendlymela]

will check it
