Integration with vBulletin - Enhanced Jabber (XMPP) Integration

Modification is compatible with vBulletin 3.6, 3.7 and 3.8.

As Jelsoft still hasn't been able to integrate Jabber as normal IM Field, I had to make my own hack. This Add-On is based on the Jabber Integration by Patria, but completly rewrite this Mod.

What is different in this Add-On?

This Add-On gives you a lot more than just an IM Field for Jabber. It
allows users to send Jabber Messages (see screenshot 2) and can send
Birthday wishes via Jabber, if the JID has been entered by the user. New
post, thread and PM notifications, are integrated too, duuh!

In future we plan seperate Setting for Jabber and E-Mail.

The PHP code changes in EN-codechangs.txt are optional and is not required for running this hack.

Included Languages:

• German
• English
• Russian

Version History:

Version 1.23 RC 4:

* PHP 5.3 Compatibility Fixes for xmpphp
* Bugfixes from Charles_1 included (Thanks to Charles_1)

Thank you to flosoft for the English Translation and zCarot for the Russian Translation.

For Auto-Template Changes you need the Template Modification System from Andreas. If is this not installed, read the EN-templateedits-enhanced_jabber.txt for Template Changes.

PHP Version? 32 or 64-Bit?
Is PHP running as Apache Module or as CGI?

[TandyServices]

PHP 5,
32, apache, Cpanel.
The hosting company is Bluehost. I think it is CGI.
Thanks for the fast response

[Sebijk]

Sry for my late answer, but i think CGI is the problem. I have only tested as apache Module. I ask the xmpphp Developer for CGI compatibility.

[Sebijk]

my TODO list:

• Seperate Settings for E-Mail and Jabber
• A Option to send Notifications via Scheduled Tasks, so some Code Modifications are not anymore needed and makes no problems for PM System.
• Show Jabber Icon at Tab Friends
• Option for Users to seit Public the Jabber ID or private.
• Option for Forum Register: Validation via Jabber instead of E-Mail

But i have not enough time for this, but if I have some time, I will working on. If you want develop this Plugin, you are welcome.

Known Issues (02.05.2009) : PM-Autoresponder from Vossi. It make errors by sending PMs.

Solution: Disable Notifications about new PM via Jabber or disable Plugin "New PM Notifications via Jabber".


I have updated the screenshots , see below.

[Sebijk]

Version 1.23 RC 2 is out:

* Jabber PM Notification is automatically disabled if Vossis PM-Autoresponder is installed (I'm currently work for a complete fix)
* Reduced Template Modifications, only 2 Template Edits is required, if TMS is not installed
* Updated xmpphp Class (SVN Rev 76)

I have just updated to 1.23 RC2, and I am experiencing the following behavior in the postbit section under the user's avatar.



I have checked the postbit, postbit_legacy and im_jabber templates, but they appear normal and I see no indication as to why the IM icon is duplicating. I have not experienced any problems until just now. Is anyone else experiencing this?

[Sebijk]

Revert the postbit and postbit_legacy. Since 1.23 RC 2 is no Template Edits at postbit and postbit_legacy required.

[tereg]

When I revert the postbit and postbit_legacy templates, both icons disappear

Reverted postbit template (the relevant section):

...
			<td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap">

				<div class="smallfont">
					<if condition="$post['joindate']"><div>$vbphrase[join_date]: $post[joindate]</div></if>
					<if condition="$post['field2']"><div>$vbphrase[location_perm]: $post[field2]</div></if>
					<if condition="$post['age']"><div>$vbphrase[age]: $post[age]</div></if>
					<div>
						$vbphrase[posts]: $post[posts]
					</div>
					$template_hook[postbit_userinfo_right_after_posts]

TMS installed? If yes, delete the Template Modification from postbit and postbit_legacy (at Template-Modifications, NOT Template Edits).
