VB eIRC chat intergration hack 1.0

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...

you could change every thing in the template with mine too, and you can edit how the whole page looks and set up with that one template, you could have it look like your normal forum page with a chat or make something completly different for it, all mine takes it a small php and 1 template to tun the whole thing and set every thing up, i also have a X bot too so the irc chat is always open and you dont have to worry about some one getting admin power

Well it doesn't do that the way you posted it, all the config is in the php file. My update will also have 1 php and 1 template instead of 2, a who's chatting now type deal (if I can work out the bugs) and the instructions on how to compile Eirc. for use on your own web/irc server.

Also no offence, but so what if you have X-bot, why make it sound like it is part of you hack? Its a bot in your chat room... What does that have to do with the hack? Anyone can have X-bot, its simply the channel server as I explained in a previous post.

sorry, i didnt want to get one any ones bad side, i just offered another way of doing it, the top one

PHP Code:

<?php
error_reporting(7);

require('./global.php');


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

?>

is what you put in the php file the rest is a template

[andrew67]

No need to aplogise, I was asking a question is all, things dont seem to come out right when I typing and I always come across like I'm angry or something, I not, Sorry if seemed that way.. I was just pointing why I had set thing up the way I had and what I updates I had install and simply asking a Q...

ok i added a little update to my version, if an account has spaces in it, it will only use the first part of the name not the whole name so i made a little fix that removes the space. If your useing my version change:

PHP Code:

<?php
error_reporting(7);

require('./global.php');


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

?>

to:

PHP Code:

<?php
error_reporting(7);

require('./global.php');

$chatusername=str_replace(" ","",$bbuserinfo[username]);

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

?>

now in the forumchat template find:

PHP Code:

$bbuserinfo[username] 


and replace it with:

PHP Code:

$chatusername 


it apears twice so change both and there, when a user goes to the chat it removes any spaces from there name

[Slynderdale]

hope that helps some people out

nice! Thanx for sharing

Good job andrew, works like a charm. I used Slynderdale's chat.php method that way you don't have to modify online.php either since chat.php is already provided for.
