VB eIRC chat intergration hack 1.0 · **Released**: 04-13-2002

VERSION 2.0 - UPDATED FOR VB3.0.7
Now Even Easier To Install!!! - Enjoy

NOTE: VERSION 2 is for VBulleting 3.0.7, VERSION 1 is for 2.2.x
PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU DOWNLOAD THE CORRECT VERSION...

1 x new template
1 x file upload
1 x template edit (Optional I guess, you could put the link to your chatroom anywhere you like....)

P.S. You will need to add the templete to each style your site uses and edit to suit...

---------------------------------------------------------------------

This is a very very easy hack to install and must be one of the easiest and best free ways to add chat to your forums. This hack uses Eirc java applets to connect to World IRC servers. There is no need to sign and compile Eirc yourself or even host it or a irc server, simply follow these instructions and you will have FREE, full, IRC chat on your forums in under 2 minutes...

For a demo, checkout the chat running here at vbullettin.org ( https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/chat.php? ) as it uses the same java applets and basicly is the same as this hack...

Once you have installed the hack pop into #austech and say hello...

Thanks & Enjoy...

Although Version 1.0 for VB2.2.x is still working and also still available, I DO NOT offer support for it...

Pardon the n00b question, but how do I compile and sign the applets. Just starting to get my feet wet in IRC.

andrew67 · #63 04-17-2002, 01:23 AM

Sorry, but I am the wrong person to ask, I am also a Java n00b and I have had no joy in compiling the Java yet, myself..

I am still trying and when and if I get iit done, I will add the instructions and update the hack... The hack works fine if you leave it on the default server settings and world IRC is actually quite a good server and the IRCop's are quite friendly and helpfull.. Aswell as their server taking the load and not yours, another bonus... Less bandwidth and resources you will lose.. You considered staying with them??

For now though if you really dont want to use world IRC, have a go yourself and checkout the following sites for more info on compiling and signing the Eirc applets.

Eirc Homepage:
http://eirc.sourceforge.net/

Eirc Help Page:
http://www.habber.net/index.php?p=eircfaq

PS If you have any joy in compiling/signing please come back and tell me how you did it, I keep getting errors

Do you think world IRC would mind? Do I need to ask someone permission? Is there a procudure to keep a room open, or does it just get created when one person enters it?

The only reason I wanted to use enterthegame.com was because my community already uses it, but I might convince them to move.

Ignore this post..

I double posted by mistake...

Nope, no need to ask permission. I have already and they also publicly display the url and code for eirc (see: http://www.worldirc.org/chatself.php ) and after hanging out and speaking to alot of the IRCops they are hoping and quite looking forward to more traffic on their servers... The decent thing to do however is once your room is up is too maybe recommend your users use mIRC instead, that way the server isnt too overloaded by the thousands of java users... Thats what I do anyway...

BTW In the week or so I have been on world IRC there hasn't been a single netsplit and I had over 40 users last night using java.. Their servers seem very fast and very reliable...

Sorry didn't notice that question when I posted my last reply.. To create a permanent room and a access list to enable auto ops you will need to first register your nick, then register your room once you've done that you start to add users to the access list.

For information on registering nicks with the name server look here:
http://www.worldirc.org/serv-nick.php

For information on registering channels with the channel server look here:
http://www.worldirc.org/serv-chan.php

If you require more help go to #help they are a friendly bunch who will explain your thinking about moving servers and everything and they will gladly help you get it all sorted.....

Oriion · #68 04-17-2002, 02:02 AM

Ok, I might give that a shot. So how is the room created and how does it stay up. And who has ops powers?

Reading the FAQ now.

andrew67 · #69 04-17-2002, 02:49 AM

To make the room stay open you need to call the channel sever thingy called "X" into your room and it stays there 24/7 enforcing bans and giving ops ect. You decide who get ops or not and what else they can do in the room by giving different access levels.. I'm not too upto scratch on the commands on this server as Im used to Austnet (where I moved from) but if worse comes to worse, pop into my room #Austech and ask Tokebuzz (IRC GURU), Pariah (IRCop) or Insane (me) and one of us should be able to help out with any probs. or questions..

all i did was created a chat.php with this

PHP Code:


			
<?php

error_reporting(7);



require('./global.php');





eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate('forumchat')."\");");



?>

and then make a forumchat template with

PHP Code:

Cool, Either way works so I guess take your pick, only thing is with mine any changes to the settings are made in the template not the php file... I will try release a update this weekend with the bug fix for the logo and removal of the "engine" template..
