Name: Java chat hack v1.0 (Optimized for vBulletin 2)
Author: Christophe Johanns
Boards: http://www.edevboards.com
Online example: http://edevboards.com/chat.php?page=index
Special thanks: James Ussher-Smith
Last updated: Mar 06, 2001

Features:

Shows user as 'Active User' or 'Guest' if he visits the chat page
Logs the user in with his username, and logs guests in with seperate guest names.
Uses header and footer template of your vB copy
Has a Java chat applet powered by ConferenceRoom which is totally customizable
It makes it easy to add/delete a 'Rules' page
You can easily set the <body> tag, the font face and several other options like a navigation bar and so on.

How to install:[list=A][*]Download the WinZip file from http://freesources.net/vbulletin/chat.zip[*]Extract the WinZip file (chat.php & chat_count.txt) in the same map as index.php (the index of vBulletin)[*]Adjust the variables listed above in chat.php[*]Make a template called 'chatrules' with the rules you want to have displayed. You don't need to do this if you have set $rules to 'no'. You may use HTML.[*]Upload chat.php and chat_count.txt and CHMOD chat_count.txt 777.[/list=A]After you installed it you can go to the index page by accessing chat.php?page=index on your domain (ie domain.com/chat.php?page=index)

Note:
This hack will only work properly if you use a header as top of yourboards. If you use bbimage you should slightly adjust it. I will post another download for this in some days.

no replies

well is anyone actually using it?

I don't think I'll enhance it when there's so little interest.. sorry.

I tried the Hack, but it seems that I can enter the chat using an other's username.
In fact. some times the chat asks me for the password and other times no.

we can't change that...

It takes just 30 seconds to install, and it works perfect.

Any improvement will be appreciated

Unfortunately that isn't possible.

Can you only use your server?

I can't do that, and personally I find that to be a nasty trick to try and get IRC users. If you want to write hacks don't require them to use your services. What happens when your server is down?

If you want to see a nice Java IRC Chat client check out http://www.jpilot.com. You can customize the look of it and choose what IRC server. It is shareware thought, but registration is only $40.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
