Jpilot / Vbulletin Integration for Vbulletin 3

To see this in action visit my site at forums.keeptouch.net (there is a link under quick link, only registered users)

please see http://www.jpilot.com/ for info on the jpilot chat applet.

Instructions:
-upload all the jpilot files to your vb root. see jpilot site for download and instructions.
-upload both scripts in the scripts folder to your vb root.
-create the new templates in your vb admin cp. see templates folder... templates to be named the same as each file, etc.
-configure the jpilot params in the chatmain template. see the jpilot site for a list of all params and their functions.
-put this link in your navbar template or where ever you want the IRC chat link to be:

<a href="#IRC" onClick="window.open('chat.php?session[sessionurl]','key','WIDTH=600,HEIGHT=450,scrollbars=no,left=50,top=50,screenX=50,screenY=50');return false">IRC Chat</a>

-that's it!

How it works:
-link to the chat.php file first... this pulls the "chat" template which is an intro type of thing with info about the chat. put whatever "intro" type stuff you want in the "chat" template. the chat.php script does not check for registration.
-in the "chat" template that the chat.php pulls there is a link to the chatmain.php file which checks for registration. if the user isn't registered or not logged in they are directed to the "chatnoreg" template which gives them a note saying they aren't logged in, etc. you can customize the chatnoreg template to say whatever you want. if they *are* logged in then they are directed to the chatmain template which has the applet and the params which loads the chat.
-my jpilot params are set up so the user isn't even given a chat config screen. their name is auto filled in and they are auto logged into chat. i also have a param that disables the /nick command. only registered members can chat and they can't change their name in chat to impersonate people. if you want this set up differently it's all in the params (see the jpilot site for info).

there is two solutions.

either u place those files that resides in forums/classes to forums instead.

or change this in your codes.

<applet archive="classes/jirc_nss.zip" code="Chat.class" MAYSCRIPT width=575 height=400>

<param name="CABBASE" value="classes/jirc_mss.cab">

it should work

Sorry for dragging this old chestnut back from the past, but I'm having probs with this hack.

All is working fine with the exception of the following line in the chatmain template:

<param name="NickName" value="$bbuserinfo[username]">

As many of our members have common usernames I wanted to add a prefix to the nickname in IRC but value="xxx$bbuserinfo[username]" doesn't work.

It worked fine when I was using vb2.26, but not with vb3.

Any ideas on how to get around this without forcing 90% of my members to change their username on entry to the chat room?

just remove this param. for my forum, i let my members use their forum username as default.

by the way check this :

no issue.

try www.keeptouch.net

[hankster]

OK... there is a problem. If a username starts with numbers they can't log in. Does someone know a way to add a letter or two before the username when they log in?

[Selene]

OK i am having problem.

I downloaded latest 2.8.4 jpilot from the site, and followed the instructions.

When i click on the chat link from forums it opens a popup which is empty and white!
