I have installed vBXirc, and all went well, without problems ... but .. what do I put in the IRC Server box, in the AdminCP please, as I am a newbie to this and don't fully understand what it is asking for. Would be much obliged for any help.
I've installed this hack and all was fine then many of the members got this error:
Quote:
Connecting...
Unable to connect : null
Then, after being able to log in successfully a few times I got this error:
Quote:
Connecting...
Logging in...
-- *** Looking up your hostname...
-- *** Checking Ident
-- *** Found your hostname
-- *** No Ident response
-efnet.demon.co.uk- *** Banned Temporary K-line 14400 min. - (r29/4363) Your nickname looks machine-generated. Please use another server. (2005/2/7 23.53)
Error : Closing Link: 127.0.0.1 (*** Banned )
Disconnected from irc.efnet.info
Then I got this pm from one of the moderators:

chan is no problem, efnet is a open network
may I suggest http://cgiirc.sourceforge.net/ its a lot more widly accepted accross irc chat networks as a way to get on.
very easy to set up, just create a cgi-bin dir in your public_html dir ( or what may be / seeing yer using linux its all the same ) and drop in the files, then just fire up a browser and point it to the irc.cgi file
the current client gets spat out as it dont like the way it uses's ident and thinks your some random spambot, if u can get this script up and just link it on site, ill sort a config out that will keep the chan safe and secure and never fail to logon, hopefully this way can get bb247 chat working properly
My mod thinks that this is a problem with the client.
But it's been installed for a few days, I've logged on with no problems and then yesterday I got the error saying that my log-on looked machine generated (by the way my log-on was Booth).
However now I'm getting:

Our IRC channel is on EFNET and the channel is #blackburn247.
Can anyone help with this ~ I'm close to giving up.
YES, simply once connected the users cangetlistofchannels from the button in upper right coner.and/ortype/join#channel if they know the name.
Thanks, thatworks well. Is there any way that I can code the initial channel into alink? This would make it even easier for the newbies, with a menu listadded to the vB navbar like this:
Chat
Channel #1
Channel #2
Channel #3
Clickinga specific channel name would launch the vBXirc and take them directlyto a specific channel. They would of course still be able to use thechannel button or /join to switch channels, but their entry channel would depend on which link they picked. That would be sweet!
Okay, I've just installed this, I can get it running okay but there's a few problems.
1) When loading the javascript chat, it gives off a warning window, which is completely blank, but you can click at it and it will show a certificate window (Also blank) and you can somehow okay it.
2) When the chat window isn't focused, then refocused it will show blank white parts, when you scroll the scroll bars the blank parts will re-show their contents.
3) After using this with mozilla firefox, it will stop the functions of the browser. You can't go to addresses, links wont work and etc. I've tried it in IE and it does the same problems of 1 & 2. I'm using windows XP with java installed.
I cant find the panel like you say Once the script is done go to your Admin CP and you will see a new group of options called "vBXirc Settings". That is where you will modify the settings, add/edit modules, and add/edit new pages.
