vBXirc

PLEASE READ

This thread is only here for users who have already installed this hack, there is no longer a public version of vBXirc for vBulletin 3.0.x

There will be a 3.5.x version in the near future.

Sorry for any problems this may have caused.

I get the following error. I updated all the stuff and modified the two files.

When i run from mysite.com/admincp/vbxirc_install.php I get the following error
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_GLOBAL in /xxx/global.php on line 291

This is whats on line 291: save and close global.php

Any suggestions would be beneficial.

THANKS

Any other suggestions for a Chat script for VB 3 that also works behind firewall. I guess my work blocks IRC.

I highly doubt your going to find a java application that will work with a proxy to get around it.

I upgraded vB a few weeks ago and the chat page broke. Now I tried to upgrade it and I'm still having a few problems.

First of all, when people visit the chat page, it says:

hConnecting...
Unable to connect : null

Also, in the AdminCP, all the titles of the options are blank. So is the title for selecting the option, I just have a blank line.

I remember fixing this ages ago when I first started using this script, but can't for the life of me remember how!

Thanks,

Casp

Hello, I've been running vBXirc for several months now with minimal problems. I am having one small problem and have a quick question:

As I mentioned a few pages back in this thread, I am not getting the smilies to appear at all. The option is definitely turned on within my settings and I haven't modified any of the chat templates in any way. Besides me, all the other users I talked to do not see a box either.

Finally, some of my users have complained that's it's too hard to tell if you have an incoming private message from another user in chat because there's no beeping sound like there is in mIRC. Ideally, I'd like to have incoming messages pop up in a new window but I imagine that would be too much work. If, upon receiving a new message, it would beep or flash their nickname, that would also do the trick. Any ideas? Thanks a lot.

Hmm, just installed a new board and saw this file edit:

PHP Code:

// ## Must preform ##
open includes/adminfunctions_template.php

find 
'forumhome' => $vbphrase['forum_home'], 

below add

'vbxirc' => 'vBXirc', 


i can't seem to find forumhome,
only 'forumhome' => $vbphrase['group_forum_home'],
what should i do?

Does anyone happen to use this hack on the DALnet servers? I've noticed the DALnet won't allow dial up users to use this hack. They always get klined. Broadband users have no problems at all. I figured there's something being done in the script with the hostname that might be freaking DALnet out. Anyone have an idea? Maybe there's something I can alter to prevent that.

I'm thinking it's because JavaUser ends up in the hostname and the DALnet network protects itself from Java-based users. Where could I change the default hostname to be something like ForumUser instead of JavaUser?
