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 realized it's using a different navbar, so I altered the index.php to point to the sites main one, and recoded the navbar links with the

$vboptions[bburl]/

So.. now I'm still not seeing the breadcrumb stuff like the other pages on the site. How do I get it to show the page it's on, underneath, unlinked like the rest of them?

...ok I got the breadcrumbs all fixed up nice.

LAST QUESTION!! (that I hope someone will answer other than me)

How do I get it to show up in the Who's online. I added some lines to the functions_online.php, but it doesn't work, I added the following...

	case '/chat/index.php': 
       	 	$userinfo['activity'] = 'chat'; 
        	break;

		case 'Chat': 
        		$userinfo['action'] = construct_phrase($vbphrase['viewing_x'], 'In Chat');
			$userinfo['where'] = "<a href=\"/chat/index.php?$session[sessionurl]\">$vboptions[bbtitle] Chat</a>";
        		break;

Yet it still says Viewing Index even though a user isn't.

NOW... because I couldn't find where the popup code variable for passing the "nick" parameter is, I disabled the popup option on my main site navbar.

Goto ACP>Styles & Templates > Style Manager > YOURSTYLE <<>> navigation / breadcrumb templates > navbar

find:

  <td id="chat" class="vbmenu_control"><a href="#chat">Chat</a> <script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("chat"); </script></td>

Replace with:

<td id="Chat" class="vbmenu_control"><a href="$vboptions[bburl]/chat/index.php?$session[sessionurl]">Chat</a></td>

find:

<!-- chat links --> 
<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="chat_menu" style="display:none"> <table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0"> <tr> <td class="thead">Chat</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="$vboptions[bburl]/chat/index.php?$session[sessionurl]">Chat</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="#" onClick="window.open('$vboptions[bburl]/chat/index.php?do=small','key','WIDTH=750,HEIGHT=500,scrollbars=no,left=50,top=50,screenX=50,screenY=50');return false">Chat(Popup)</a></td> </tr> </table> </div>
<!-- end chat links -->

Replace with:

<!-- chat links --> 
<!--
<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="chat_menu" style="display:none"> <table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0"> <tr> <td class="thead">Chat</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="$vboptions[bburl]/chat/index.php?$session[sessionurl]">Chat</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="#" onClick="window.open('$vboptions[bburl]/chat/index.php?do=small','key','WIDTH=750,HEIGHT=500,scrollbars=no,left=50,top=50,screenX=50,screenY=50');return false">Chat(Popup)</a></td> </tr> </table> </div>
 //-->
<!-- end chat links -->

That's it, for an example, take a look at www.orderofronin.com

What was the point of this?

I got all my issues fixed. Apparently all my problems were DALnet problems. Since my channel is relatively new, I just picked up and moved to a completely different network and everything works like a charm. To think, DALnet was a blessing when I moved from ChatNet, but turned out to be a complete pain.

/me gives DALnet the finger.

Thanks for all the hard work, Zachery - this is a beautiful hack.

People that are on my site/forums trying to get to chat it wouldn't let them for whatever reason if they were logged into the forums. If they were logged out it worked fine, something with the prefix |oR| I imagine even though you can use that on gamesurge. Regardless, by forcing people to login using the default oRForumGuest?? nick they CAN get in, then just change the nick to whatever they want.

Also I didn't like the popup option, and I also changed the navbar to use the sites main one as well as the footer, and included the breadcrumb as well. Now I'm trying to figure out why it doesn't show up in the Who's Online.

I added

case '/chat/index.php': 
       	 	$userinfo['activity'] = 'chat'; 
        	break;

		case 'Chat': 
        		$userinfo['action'] = construct_phrase($vbphrase['viewing_x'], 'In Chat');
			$userinfo['where'] = "<a href=\"/chat/index.php?$session[sessionurl]\">$vboptions[bbtitle] Chat</a>";
        		break;

To the Functions_Online.php, yet it stilld doesn't work. Any thoughts?

[|oR|Greg]

FYI... to anyone that wants the breadcrumb to function, all you have to do is add in

// ## NAVBITS
$navbits = construct_navbits(array("index.php?$session[sessionurl]" => 'Chat'));

..to the chat\index.php anywhere in the file.

Then copy the chat\images\misc\navbits_finallink.gif file from the forums\images\misc location.

Viola!

Ok..got this working althou it does not seem to be reconising who is and isn't an admin

If a non admin manages to enter the room first then he/she will be the admin for the room

how do I make it so that it will reconise from the forums who is and is not an admin?

[OGT]

those settings are done on your irc server. you will need to find a server that uses a nickserv and chanserv and go through those options to allow you to retake your room if theres not someone in it at all times.

[|oR|Greg]

hIBEES it's a matter of registering on your IRC server with the same username as your forums I would think. Even then I don't know that it would work because you're required to AUTH on an IRC network, and using a chat applet won't let you AUTH that I'm aware of from a script.
