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.

I noticed that in the admincp options for pjirc , it only gives you the option to disallow certain groups, so therefore I had to edit navbar template with this.

Is it possible to somehow implement for the user to have a choice of, opening the chatbox in a pop up or simply view it on site. Maybe implementing a menu into the Chatbox in navigation with a dropdown saying "Pop up Window"

Is it possible to do that by changing the code of the navbar template for the pjirc?

I could make a dropdown to allow the user to select either to load the chat in a popup or the current window if you would like.

For some reason PJIRC is refusing to make any attempt at connecting
it just sits there with a plain white screen with connect (which does nothing)
my forums are located at angrygamin.org/agx/forumx thanks for any assistance provided.

It will work with any channel you assign it in the AdminCP.

Make sure your settings are correct via the AdminCP.

Hi

We're testing this as an adjunct to our normal Shoutbox. The idea of a popup would help us a lot. Many members use both and my owner would love this. Any info you could provide would be great

Thanks
