vBXirc 3.0.0 Beta 1

This is an early build of vBXirc.

This is a beta hack, use at your own risk.

Known issues:
[X] At present time, I am not yet filtering templates for replacement urls 100%

• Resolved by not having any rules to filter and or replace

[] Smilies options have not been added into the Settings or the chat template
[] There are no usergroup settings at this time.
[] This hack as not yet been installed on any live systems, but my test system worked 99% fine.

• very short private beta test

[] pjirc is the only supported java module at this time

• There is a way to add 1 additional template at this time.

Planned Ideas / Future Features:
[] Add some sort of session tracking to show users are in the chat
[] Usergroup permissions
[] Smilie options

Some new things in general:
As of 3.0.0, we have moved to the plugin system and only vBulletin 3.5.0. All support for versions before 3.0.0 (vBXirc) and 3.5.0 (vBulletin) hae been discontinued.
Multiple Client support, over the next few months I will be adding more client support as I find them. If you have your own or have one you like and want it added, you can make your own called custom.cht and put it into the inc directory and select the custom option in the ACP Settings. If you want to submit a client, please email vbxirc [at] digitalkore (dot) net, It will be revied and if it can be added it will. The current template is located in inc/pjirc.cht.

I think thats it for now.


The code is atad messy atm as its early/late and I know it works correctly.

Install Instructions
1. Upload the Chat Folder to your forums directory
2. Upload / Import the Product file
3. Configure settings
4. Add a link to the navbar

<a href="#" onClick="window.open('$vboptions[bburl]/chat/','key','WIDTH=750,HEIGHT=575,scrollbars=no,');return false">Chat</a></td>

5. Enjoy


Better install instructions and a complete installer soon.

Installed it and it appears to be working fine. Looks great... any plans on adding a "who's in" feature?

Yes. Just have been very busy

Hey Zachery, thanks for adapting this for 3.5.x

Quick question though. Anyone using IE...shows up as a "Guest" in IRC. If Firefox is used...they are logged in with their username.

Any ideas on what that might be.

Also, about half of my users get this error:
"start up error: java.lang.IllegalAccesError:irc/security/prv/specificMSSsecuredProvider"

I think we managed to deduce that it is the Java plugin causing that issue, as I had someone install Firefox...and by doing so the newest Java install...and it worked fine for them after that. Just wanted your 2 cents though.

Thanks!

i believe thats because they didnt accept the java popup

Is it possible to restrict this to members only?

[Snake]

I suppose you can do that already.

[jdingman]

A+++ worked like a charm!!!

I would also like to know about the 'members only' -- I didn't see an option for it. Anyone know?

[GuaRRand]

ANy full release in sight?

[CnB]

works for me , nice feature to add to a board.

though 1 thing i do have
once i have the code added in my navbar template
my forums get a bit wider in some areas
and i cant seem to figure out why the code does it since there is nothing that points to that

and is there a log created on the server ?
if so anyway to avoid this ?
