Premium
To purchase and view more information on our premium no-branding version of PJIRC Chatbox, please visit my
Products & Services.

The premium version has the following features, and includes free updates:
Copyright removed
Auto Set Name Based On Forum Username
vBulletin Password to Access IRC
Custom Background Image
Custom Quit Message
Usergroup Permissions

I am taking suggestions!!!

To Do:

• Add AdminCP setting to ban UserIDs
• Add AdminCP setting to change the looks of the chatbox
• Add AdminCP setting to enable/disable the background image
• Add a toolbar to popup the chat in a new window

Installation:
1.) Upload the contents of the upload folder to your forum's root.

2.) Import the product-lightircchatbox.xml.

3.) Enter the settings via the AdminCP. If you need an IRC server try irc.ipocalypse.net

4.) Navigate to chatbox.php via your forums.

Optional
If you do not want to use the navigational link insertion, you can add this code to your navbar template.

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="chatbox.php">Chatbox</a></td>

If you want to only allow certain groups use this code:

<if condition="is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 1, 2, 3)"><td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="chatbox.php">Chatbox</a></td></if>

If you want to only deny certain groups then use this one:

<if condition="!is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 1, 2, 3)"><td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="chatbox.php">Chatbox</a></td></if>

Upgrading:
Import the product and select Allow Overwrite.

How about if I want more than just want groups, do I just add a coma and the group ID to it?

you can now select usergroups in admincp, some placements in navbar will require you to add </if> after the code, my setup rejected it.

I was half awake when I replied (Still am half awake lol), so when I said the second code wasn't needed I was thinking my modification modified the first code for some reason. Anyway. If anyone doesn't use the automatic navbar edit, then you will need to use the code I posted previously to deny or allow certain usergroups to see the chat's navigational link.

When I get some sleep, I'll take a look more into the conditional and see if I can make it run off the product as well. I'm sure I can, I'm just not awake right now since it's 3:00 A.M.

Good night everyone. =]

Is there a Nickname asked when connect to that ? Because if just the Forumname is used, several Forum Names with certain characters or spaces won't work in IRC. How is that solved here ?

Removing the link when hover over a username would be good, and the link at the bottom put my domain in front so does not work when clicked.

I striped invalid characters. Spaces and such.

Not sure I know what you mean?

Cool! When I get back home I'll look to install this. My site is always looking for a chat system...

[rchelifan]

It works great now. Thanks for the good work. Thanks for the Help Edit option!

Interesting, we support pjirc.com on our http://vbirc.com network.
I think I am going to make a page where we link back to these sorts of plugins.
We host quite a few vb powered sites with pjirc on it on our chat network.
