jPilot (IRC chat) Integration

JPILOT / vBULLETIN INTEGRATION by jake (first hack! wOOtie! )
-for jpilot 2.5.1 and vbulletin 2.2.6

to see this in action visit my site at www.macsubculture.com (there is a link in the nav column called IRC Chat)

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 header template or where ever you want the IRC chat link to be: <a href="chat.php?s=$session[sessionhash]" onClick="window.open('chat.php?s=$session[sessionhash]','key','WIDTH=600,HEIGHT=450,scrollbars=no,left=5 0,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).

IS there a way for this to work with a popup window?

the html for that is in the first post in this thread.

and i still don't understand what the Whois online chatting problem is. but if you fixed it, great.

[opus]

is there a irc server were they allow spaces in your user name? my name on my site is "big bad opus" and when i trie to log on the server things my name is "big."

is there a way to kill the spaces in a user's name?

[Jakeman]

that is a limitation of jpilot or IRC, not a limitation of this hack. i'm not sure how to "fix" this. sorry.
