Chat Modifications - [CTech] Chat: IRC (Webchat)

About the Add-on
This add-on utilizes qwebirc to provide a web irc interface to your forums. I have created this for my site and releasing here for everyone (free to use). You are not allowed to remove the copyright text.

Features

• Easy to configurable admincp options
  • guest name/prefix
  • channels to join
  • server to use
• Automatic tab in navbar
• stylevars support

Features to Come

• some navbar related options (dropdown menu)
• chat window as a popup window (in menu)
• irc:// link in menu
• ability to work even if your site is closed (and may be during database problems too)
• facebook styled chat (might release it as a separate add-on though)

Supported vB Version
check above. It may or may not work on previous versions. I don't really care.

How to Install
Estimate Install Time: less than 2 minutes.

1. Extract the zip file in your computer
2. Rename the admincp folder to match your server admincp folder if you have changed it
3. Upload all the files in /upload to your forum directory
4. import the product XML using add product in admincp
5. Configure the product [ admincp > Crimson Tech Products > Chat: IRC ... ]
6. Enjoy!

Support
I will try to support this add-on and add-on users for as long as I can. But no support unless you click INSTALL!
Also, don't forget to rate the add-on.

Hey I would like to remove the confirmation for people leaving the page when they have qwebirc open

Thanks so much =]

Now with 4.2 we have Navigation manager, how can I change to control the tab from with that?

[sectomy]

is it possible to replace spaces in names with another character ?
like space = _ ? If yes, how to do it, cause were a Clanboard with all names starting like:
XO Username
so if anyone join the chat, it only displays: XO
and if there more then 1 in the chat, it could be difficult

On chat_irc.php, change bbuserinfo.username to whatever you want. Then save that variable to something else; register that variable to ctech_chat_irc_index tempalte. Then use that variable in below code from template.

<iframe width="{vb:stylevar ctech_chat_irc_width}" height="{vb:stylevar ctech_chat_irc_height}" src="{vb:var vboptions.ctech_chat_irc_server}/?nick={vb:if "$show['member']", {vb:var bbuserinfo.username}, {vb:var ctech_guest}}&channels={vb:var vboptions.ctech_chat_irc_channels}&uio={vb:var vboptions.ctech_chat_irc_uio}"></iframe>
