Sorry richie, if i had a concreate anwser id give it to you :p

[attroll]

I guess it depends on your IRC server. I use Slashnet and you can see who is in chat with there services.

[RichieBoy67]

I didn't mean to sound rude........... sorry....

Attrol, I want to be able to see who's online in the who's online template.

[BitterLittleMan]

Thanks for this hack. It works beautifully .. installed with no trouble.

Top notch work. cheers!

[lierduh]

Great hack. Installed without any problem. Thank you.

There is one typo in one of the template created. I think either vbxirc_index or vbxirc_small. Where 'quitmsg' spelt as 'qutmsg'.

I have set the:

<param name="pixx:showconnect" value="true">

From false to true, that will create a Connect/Disconnect button.

I have also added the following:

<param name="pixx:styleselector" value="true">
gives a colour selection for text.

<param name="pixx:setfontonstyle" value="true">
gives bold and underline selection.

<param name="pixx:nickprefix" value="<\b">
<param name="pixx:nickpostfix" value="\b>\s">
will make the nick bold with a space before the text.

I am using the new engine downloaded from:

http://www.pjirc.com/main.php

It works without any problem. You can just do a drop-in replacement.

The new version comes with quite a few more smileys. You can enable the smileys by inserting more lines, such as:

<param name="style:smiley1" value=":) img/sourire.gif">
<param name="style:smiley2" value=":-) img/sourire.gif">
<param name="style:smiley3" value=":-D img/content.gif">

<param name="style:smiley27" value=":beer: img/biere.gif">

One thing I have not been able to make work is the /sound. The new applet comes with two sound files and should be able to make some noise. I think you can even get it to make a laugh sound if eg. "LOL" is detected.:)

Edit. Forgot about <param name="pixx:nickpostfix" value="\b>\s">

Actually, it is in both the templates. Thanks for the info.

the last version i updated used pjirc 2.0.0 when it was released IIRC.

If there is enough demand ill update the packages here.

How to make an avatar in the chat program:

1)Upload your shrinked down avatar to the /img/ directory, the size can be around 20x20. eg. sally.gif
2)Change your templates:
vbxirc_index and vbxirc_small
Add the following line to the existing smiley lines:

<param name="style:smiley29" value="_eye_ img/sally.gif">

The number value (eg. 29) must be greater than the previous one.

Now, after connect, change your nick name to _eye_
Your nick name area will be presented with the avatar. Basically you will see the smiley as your avatar. Naturally type _eye_ will produce an smiley as well.

One thing to note, a nick name can not start with ":", so you can't name the shortcut for your avatar smiley as :eye:

You can even combine your nick with avatar + nick. eg. as above:

change your nick to: _eye_EYE
will see an avatar before your nick of EYE.

Enjoy.

Try reuploading the files, usualy this fixes it, or its a cache issue.

This thread is huge. o_O

Mine works great, I'm just looking for one small addition..
When a user joins, it makes them join under their username. Well, I'd like them to have a prefix on that name, since most user names are registered on the server my channel is. Something like FC_$username

Any thoughts?

[tschitschi]

I'm near hitting myself ...

I downloaded the zip, extracted it on my local pc, made the steps described in the howto. then uploaded the zip to the webserver. So I changed the variable right but copied the unchanged version .... *laughing*


Nearly forgot to say: Great work!

And another question: The firewall blocks connecting to the webserver on the irc ports. This would be no prob for te forum, I think, since it runs on the same machine and I can connect over localhost, but I do not have any channels on my server, since I installed the unrealircd the first time. Now the applet says:

Connecting...
Unable to connect : null

any suggestions?

[tschitschi]

Another question: Do I have to open the port 6667 on my firewall or does the script just connect locally?

[Zachery]

You need to make sure the IRC client can connect to the server :P so yes you would need to allow irc to go though your firewall

[tschitschi]

ok. thx :)

You only edit templates, not files, for template modifcations, and that would be the navbar template, not header.php.. because there is no header.php vB file.s

Its a IRC server issue, there is somthing about their username that the server doesnt like, ive tried my best to strip and format user names to the proper IRC compliency

[Ren]

Welp add me too the list of the unable to connect: null

It's not that my irc server or my server doesn't allow java chat's I downloaded the pjirc for the site and it worked flawless the first time , so I think it's alot deeper than just saying what I have seen said so far. I like the hack cause I would use my database for my forums , but I guess that's all a pipe dream after beating my head for 4 hrs trying to solve a issue.

This hack gives me unable to connect: null
Pjirc works flawless

Doesn't make sense to me :disappointed:

[Zachery]

I cannot think of anything to issue that error unless, your trying to use the unsecure cab/jar files, you have the wrong cab/jar files or you have a firewall blocking the request.

There are a few instances where IRC servers do block java clients.

It can also happen with bad cache etc. So clear out internet temp files. At one stage, I needed to reinstall java run time on my PC and reboot my PC before I got rid of the dread Connect: null problem. So the server worked, but the PC did not.

Hey, Zach! Awesome work you're doing, but I've been running into trouble. I'm pretty new when it comes to this stuff, and as a result, your readme wasn't as clear to me as it was for everyone else. Let me paste to you exactly what I mean, hopefully you can help me out Sesame Street style lol:

Step 1:

Check. Got everything right.

Step 2:

Check. Got everything right.

Step 3: "Upload all files to their proper directories"

This is where I got lost. Upload all the files contained in the zip to one specific directory or separate directories? I don't know what the proper directories are. Can you help me here?

Step 4:

Check.

Step 5: "Now you're almost done! It's time to add the vBXirc settings and templates. Run the install script from your browser by going to http://yoursite.com/forum/admincp/vbxirc_install.php."

I get lost even more here. How did the vbxirc_install.php arrive in that directory to begin with? Is the /admincp folder the place where I dump all the contents of the zip file?

Please help me out here. I really want this wonderful chat of yours to be up and running soon!!

[Zachery]

This is what your chdir line should be

/home/alienfi/public_html/forums/

[xxxNebulaxxx]

In your chat/index.php file:

Now open your chat/index.php file in this folder and find:

// ## Changes Directory so it can accesss vBulletin ##
// Examples
// cPanel/Linux chdir("/home/username/public_html/forum/");
// Windows chdir("c:/inetpub/users/username/www/");
chdir('#path#');


Replace #path# with the full path to your forum on your server.

Hi, i am very newbie in vbulletin. I don't understand from with path are you talking about, what do i have to write here? my page is http://*****.com.ar/foro , so i have to write: http://*****.com.ar/foro ????'

and one more question: where can i found my "navbar template"???
Thank you a lot!!!!

sorry for my english, i am studying it.

i just installed vbxirc 2.5.2

i get "Undefined string" in all of the boxes in the chat window.

and going to irc.dal.net port 6667 gives:
Connecting...
Unable to connect : Connection refused: connect

ideas?

p.s. your readme is wrong. in step 4, it should read "prefix each path with the URL of your sites forums", not the full path.

[venomx]

Dalnet doesnt allow java chats because I cant connect to it either.

[sunruh]

thanks, do you know of a server that i can try against?
i found a server that i can connect to. so that problem is solved.

Not sure what else it could be, try clearing your cache with a hard refresh (ctrl + f5 on windows or ctrl+r on most other systems).

Whats wrong with yours?
zachery,
are you saying mine looks fine?
i get "Undefined string" printed all over the buttons and info bars.

[venomx]

I just tried yours and it works fine sunruh. I even connected to the chat...

[sunruh]

works fine?

so how in the world can it look fubar to me, but when i go to another site theirs looks fine?

is it because i'm an admin?

[venomx]

Check the screen shot of your chat

zachery,

Clear your cache, clear java's cache as well.

[sunruh]

Clear your cache, clear java's cache as well.

here is my screen shot (hopefully it comes out viewable).

i know how to clear the browsers cache, but how do you clear java's cache?

thanks for all the help!

i'm using java 1.4.1_02 from sun.

[sunruh]

i went to java.com and got the latest jvm. 1.4.2_05 and intalled it and rebooted. i also turned caching OFF.

YEEEHA! it works.

very odd though that it worked fine on other sites before, but not my own.

When you reinstalled java it cleared the old cache.

Firstly, great hack - keep up the good work Zach. And don't listen to these clowns complaining about next releases taking ages. You're doing it for nothing, so take your time.

Now to my issue - this hack works great for 95% of my users, but there's a couple (and one windger in particular) who get the connection refused connection null error (or whatever it says). They all reckon they have the firewalls and av's turned off, but still get this error.

I try telling them it has to be their firewalls or something, the applet works and they can get the IRC messages, they just get this connection null error. So itsn't that a firewall issue?

How can we overcome this problem Zach? Or what can I tell the so that they will PO.

If its working for 99% of your users, its just these few who are having an issue i am not sure what it could be, ask them to update their java instaltion and turn off their firewall completely and virus scanners for a short time and see if this allows them to connect.

[da prez]

after reading through all 39 pages of this thread,
i just want to say, zachery, you have the patience of a saint.

how many times has the same directory question been asked ?
how many times has the same navbar question been asked ??

after reading through this, i feel the hack isn't for me, i don't know anything about mIRC or any others,
but i wanted to thank you, nonetheless, for your tireless effort.

thanks.

People may forget that other than the web site needs to access to the IRC server. The client machine also needs to access to the IRC server after the initial connection. All the IRC sessions are sent directly to the IRC server, not via the web pages!

[sunruh]

zachery,
is there a hack to show either how many or who is in chat?
this would be a really cool addon for vbxirc.

[Zachery]

Yes I agree however ive not found any very good solution to this issue.

I have pondered the idea of making my own chat application but it would be in flash if anything.

[sunruh]

Yes I agree however ive not found any very good solution to this issue.

I have pondered the idea of making my own chat application but it would be in flash if anything.
i've been on a site (phpBB 2.0.6) that shows how many are in chat.

[Zachery]

Oh its possible, However I've not found any good solution to it that i am confortable with.

Current Options:
Add a new sessions table for just the chat, then record as users eneter it, however this will give a false ammount of users on the chat if they enter via their own client.

Egg Drop:
using a bot to report to the site, this can be done already with VeloCD's system

mIRC reporting:
again can already be done with VeloCD's hacks/

[venomx]

Can you go by the WOL? Wouldnt always be correct but hey....

[Zachery]

Can you go by the WOL? Wouldnt always be correct but hey....
If they continued browsing the board it would be useless.

[venomx]

True.. Wonder how some of these sites are doing it then.. I am a member of one site that used only java chat and it said X users in chat.. Topic (set by) right on the forum home...

[Zachery]

Either Eggdrop or their java chat system was more than just a chat, as in it was also a server.

[venomx]

Had to have been something with the java because it wwasnt an eggdrop because you could only chat via the chat page...

[Zachery]

Had to have been something with the java because it wwasnt an eggdrop because you could only chat via the chat page...
Sounds like a session was being kept for the java chat applet, this is just a IRC intergration to allow your users to chat on IRC. many of my friends and users moved from the java directly to mirc.

[venomx]

Yeah I love IRC... I love mIRC. I use it all the time and thats why I went with your hack..

[RobAC]

Good chance slashdot has banned java clients

This seems to be a common problem. How can I find an IRC server that allows java chats?

[Zachery]

Try to connect to differnt networks untill one works?

[venomx]

Or do like me and run your own server... thing is if noone uses the chat the server is kinda dead.. LOL

[kur1j]

Ok what the heck is going on here... i installed java for firefox and it still wont let me on :-/. Just shows the white screen saying "No application for this" or something like that.

[xxxNebulaxxx]

I want to make my mods, supermods and admins to appears in their colors.
mods: green
supermods: dark blue
admins: red

I want them to talk in the chat with their colors.
How can i make this???
Thank you a lot!

[Zachery]

Not possible.

[seangworld]

in the chat window, i get:

Unable to connect: Null





how do i fix that?

[oldfan]

working great for me :)
/me clicks install

[y2krazy]

ok, my chat is working now.
if anyone else has this problem, but are new to irc and don't know...

goto your admincp>options>vboptions>vbxirc settings. in the Irc Server, delete the irc.dal.net and insert: irc.vbulletin.nl
name your room.
hit save.

it should work now.

[lanc3lot]

Make sure your Site and General vBulletin Options are set correctly.

[lanc3lot]

Ok fixed the problem of showing http://www.gamers.gr/board link thanks a lot:)

But my main question, is that i cant make this hack to work

See plz:

http://www.gamers.gr/board/chat/index.php

[seangworld]

you're not putting the correct path to your folder. if you go to that file, right click it and select edit (via ftp). go to line 19 and your error is there. on lines 17 and 18 you will see your example of what yours may look like. it's supposed to be the location to your forum via ftp. for example, mine looks like: chdir('/home/dabombcrew/www/vb/');

\web\gamers.gr\board\chat\index.php <=====go here and right-click that index.php file, select edit.

goto===>line 19


fixing line 19 will fix your errors on line 44.

[lanc3lot]

Hmm...I am little confused:)

(i got a bad cold last night and i am little dizzy)

I saw your reply, then i put the following: /home/gamers.gr/board/ or /gamers.gr/board/ but nothing:(

If i go to my ftp, via Cuteftp, i see above the following: /gamers.gr/board/

:(

Is there any way to find the actual path?

[lanc3lot]

Hmm, so the path is \web\gamers.gr\board\chat\index.php ?

I know how to edit it(its easy via Cuteftp), i dont know the path:(

Thanks in advance for any help

[lanc3lot]

Update:

I put the following path: \web\gamers.gr\board and it seemed it fixed!!!

Thanks for your help my friend, be blessed:)

[seangworld]

you're welcome.

[lanc3lot]

Edited, fixed the null problem...only the images now:P

Also, can someone explain my the 4th step of the installation(as it seemed i did something wrong)

[seangworld]

your fix is on THIS page, posted by me as well.

[lanc3lot]

your fix is on THIS page, posted by me as well.


U reffer to the Null problem? Or in the images case?

[seangworld]

null problem.

[lanc3lot]

So, can anyone explain more the 4th step?

So i can fix my images problem:(

[seangworld]

well, i have the same problem and have just been too lazy to go fix it. i'll reply in a bit.

[seangworld]

ok, i just fixed mines.

go to your admincp>styles & templates>vbxirc_templates>vbxirc_header.

REMOVE:
<!-- logo -->
<table border="0" width="$stylevar[outertablewidth]" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center">
<tr>
<td align="left"><a href="$vboptions[bburl]/$vboptions[forumhome].php?$session[sessionurl]"><img src="$stylevar[titleimage]" border="0" alt="$vboptions[bbtitle]" /></a></td>
</tr>
</table>
<!-- /logo -->

hit SAVE.
refresh your chat page.

[lanc3lot]

Hmm..still i havent my style header...anyway, going to search a bit:)

[lanc3lot]

Ok almost fixed...I just want someone more experienced here, tell me how can i add Buddy list from Vbxirc Navbar, to my previous navbar template...Just tell me what code i must add...Thanks a lot :)

[Anette]

Working just fine! Good job! :D

[lanc3lot]

Also, is there a way, to put the new version of PJIRC in the chat?

What to copy and where?



Thnx

[ianforest]

This has probably already been asked but...(42 pages is a lot to scan through!) how do I get to use the different chat client that vbulletin.org uses??? I'm not a great fan of pjirc :(

[Zachery]

Thats what vBXirc is, pjirc. I have no current plans to write another chat intergration unless i write an offical one for vBulletin.com

[ianforest]

ok! still, very good integration!

[Sanni]

Hi Zachery I am having a slight problem. I installed the hack fine on my dev server and it works like an absolute charm but am having troubles getting it to work in my prod server. The installation script didnt come back with any errors but i get the following database error when trying to launch vbxirc:

<!--
Database error in vBulletin :

Invalid SQL:
SELECT * FROM vb3_style
WHERE (styleid = 0 AND userselect = 1)

LIMIT 1

mysql error: You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'ORDER BY styleid ASC
LIMIT 1' at line 4

mysql error number: 1064

any ideas on what might be causing this?

¿Hello, is this hack (hack + original chat) server intensive?
I´m on a shared server and I have to be carefull with what I install and I have no idea about how much resources will this use :)

Thanks

This is 0% intensive on the server, 99% of the work is done on the client end, and the rest is done on the IRC server :)

Im sure the answer has been posted before in the other 42 pages lol, but im getting a blank page at vb.gamerscurse.com (http://vb.gamerscurse.com/chat/index.php?)

Pretty sure ive had all the options set correctly under vb options in admincp, but nothing shows in IE, and in Firefox i get the plugin screen. It offers to find a plugin but finds nothing and doesnt install one....

Reupload the files, and make sure you ran the installer script.

[HumanNature]

First of all, I´ve translated the files to the Spanish, If you are interested in it just tell me and I will send it to you.

Something strange is hapennig to me. I have two domains, one is my primary domain and is the only domain I want to use, (this domain redirects people to my ..../forums/index.php) the second domain is and add-on domain and is pointed to a folder in my server that have another vbulletin installation (for test purposes and password protected).

The strange thing is that when I enter the chat using my primary domain and my normal vbulletin forum, I am redirected to this:

www.mysecondarydomain.com/forums/chat, every works but..... the style of the forum that is showed in the chat window is not my style, is another style that I have in my second vbulletin installation for test purposes. What a mess...

My primary domain point to this -> www.myprimarydomain -> and this is redirected to -> www.myprimarydomain/forums/index.php

My secondary domain (add-on) points to this -> www.mysecondarydomain/vbtest (and it is password protected)

When I go to the chat on my primarydomain the direcction that I get in the browser is -> www.mysecondaydomain/forums/chat :rolleyes:

Hope you can help me because I don´t undestood it.

Note: I have installed the chat in both vbulletin installations

I don't see the problem, he hasn't redistributed it, he merely translated it to another language. I'm no lawyer though, but I am however in a lawsuit as we speak over IP (and I did sleep at a Holiday Inn last night)....

[Mattius]

Reupload the files, and make sure you ran the installer script.

Tried a reinstall and still have the same issue. You say this

That is where you will modify the settings, add/edit modules, and add/edit new pages.

at the end of your installation readme. All i have under the vbxirc settings in admincp/vBulletin Options is:

Allow Guests to enter?
IRC Server
Port Number
Room name
IRC Guest Name
Quit Message
Show Graphical Smilies

Nothing about adding modules, adding pages etc?

Those are the options...

Can you give me an example of the finalised settings, atm i have:

Allow Guests to enter: Yes
IRC Server: irc.dal.net
Port Number: 6667
Room name: #games
IRC Guest Name: guest_???
Quit Message: Good Bye
Show Graphical Smilies: No

Which is basically default.

Do i need to download and install the java applet from pjirc? The latest version is 2.0.4. I thought that was included in the /chat folder in the zip file...

Failing all this i can set you up with an admin account if you like Zach, just drop me a pm in these forums...i really need ya help.

[venomx]

Try a different network.. I believe dalnet blocks java clients... I know I couldnt connect via dalnet when I set mine up...

[Mattius]

tried a differant one...made no differance. Im thinking i might have to scrap this soon, which is a pity.

[Zachery]

tried a differant one...made no differance. Im thinking i might have to scrap this soon, which is a pity.
Try upgrading your java client and make sure your firewall allows port 6667

[Mattius]

YA! it worked :) anyone else having this problem, try and download the latest SUN java runtime...

at http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html

Thx Zachery and everyone for your advice :)

[HaloImpulse]

i cant find <!--NAVBAR POPUP MENUS --> in navbar template. Help plz? :-p I feel like a nub

For PJIRC use the SUN java rather than the Microsoft one. At least they recommend it on their support site. :)

[parajsa]

Hey guys take a look to the vBXirc_2-5-2.zip file, it seems to be corrupted :(

[HaloImpulse]

any way to get my headers, etc, to work?

[Zachery]

any way to get my headers, etc, to work?
copy the header from header to vbxirc_header ;)

And the zip is working fine.

[HaloImpulse]

and footer mb?

[HaloImpulse]

wait.. vbxirc_header?
wherse that

[Zachery]

its a template, in the style manager.

[HaloImpulse]

i dont have it... :-/

I ran the installer too.

[HaloImpulse]

nvm!! I did see the xirc catagory!! /me shoots himself!

now none of the images work :-D. mb add . in front of all the /s ?

[HumanNature]

And i know you havent asked me about redistbuting any of my files :)

What?

I just was offering you my translation to the Spanish, I thought that may be you can be interested in this in order to include it in your download, I wasn´t redistributing anything, I was offering you (Zachery and just Zachery) this file.

Sometimes some things are unbeliables...

[G3MM4]

OK I posted the same over at Geeky Designs but haven't had a reply there yet.

So I'll post here too.

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="calendar.php?$session[sessionurl]">$vbphrase[calendar]</a></td>



The above code wasn't found in the navbar template (in the Style Options in the ACP) via the Find window or manually.



The instructions states I need to find this bit of code so I can add



<td id="chat" class="vbmenu_control"><a href="#chat">Chat</a> <script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("chat"); </script></td>



after it. Is there an alternative? I'm using vB 3.0.3 with no other hack installed apart from a skin made by eXtremepixels (I don't know if that skin has altered the code a bit).



Thanks.

[Zachery]

Well did you find anything like that at all in the navbar template?

yes i am, is it a lot of work to make it work?

whatever came with the apache2triad latest version, i normaly use linux for servers, but in this case, it has to be the windows box..

}
else

}
}

Hmm there is an issue with it, and I am not sure I will see about a fix later today.

Sanni sent me a fix for this, i will post it here incase others need it..

in init.php add:



if (!is_array($specialtemplates)) {
$specialtemplates = array();
}


above:


$specialtemplates = array_merge(array(
'options',
'cron',
'forumcache',
'usergroupcache',



thank you very much Sanni, works great..

[ffnetwork]

I have a problem, I really dont have a clue what to do to fix it

fixes the problem i was having with this..
http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showpost.php?p=566960&postcount=662


now it works no problem on my site, with php 5 and apache2

[G3MM4]

OK, I've been and reinstalled the board on my website because I wanted a different folder structure. So I successfully installed this hack on the vB skin, but is there meant to be a control group in the ACP for vBxIRC? Because if there is meant to be one, it isn't showing up at all in my ACP.

It should be under vBulletin options

[G3MM4]

Ah found it, thank you!!! :)

[G3MM4]

The only thing is that the chat link on the forums doesn't show up in the custom skin I've got (Firmament by eXremepixels). What do I do to make the Chat link show up? You'll see what I mean if you go to www.gamehub.co.uk/forums/index.php.

You would need to add a link to it or make a button in the header and link it there. This is not somthing i can help with really.,

[G3MM4]

Hmmm until I figure out how to do a button with a link (First time I've had to do this) I think I'll have to post a link in the forums itself. Thanks for the help so far anyway.

[MojoNixon]

Hi,

what about the security on this script? does it transfer any passwords or something like that to verify the User Name in Login?

EDIT:

Hi, just want to say a big Thank You!!! I installed it without problems in my board and it works very fine for me and the members. :-)

Thanks a lot,

Mojo

Nope, no passwords are sent anywhere.

Hi,

Installed fine, working nearly..... Does everything but pass the username across to IRC so everyone is coming in as Guest_??? Any ideas what this can be?

I don't see why it wouldn't be getting the username... Can you provide me with a link?

Yep, www.dndgamer.com/forum just register and the chat option is on the menu :ninja:

[jarvis]

I'm getting the "Undefined Strings" all over the chat application. I have gone through this entire thread trying to find solution.

I have
cleared java cache
update java runtime
reuploaded files


Nothing works. Are there any more ideas? I am working on a vb3 version of my site and would love to get this working.

Thanks!

All the files should be uploaded in ASCII mode..

[jarvis]

All the files should be uploaded in ASCII mode..

Okay, I did that. Didn't work. :(

I even downloaded the files directly from the web server and reinstalled. No luck.

Go away "undefined strings". :(

[jarvis]

Any more ideas on the undefined string?

I am running on a Windows server if that helps?

Thanks!

[jarvis]

Do I know how to kill a thread or what? ;)

I would love to get this working, so please help. Money? :)

[ChuanSE]

K, i'll help you out then :p

pm me ;)

hi, I just installed this and when I click on chat, I get this error:

[Zachery]

hi, I just installed this and when I click on chat, I get this error:

You edited somthing wrong, i would start with fresh files and try again

[EDDIE!]

I uninstalled everything, and checked the templates/files I editted and I still get that error.

[Zachery]

I uninstalled everything, and checked the templates/files I editted and I still get that error.
What editor are you using to edit the files with?

[EDDIE!]

I'm using a standard HTML editor. I think that's what you call it. ;) My site is http://twdforums.com if you wanna take a look.

[Lostnode]

Eddie - Something is definatly not edited right, the print_no_permission is a standard vB function, one of the files you are referenceing, i.e. global, or a functions is not being included properly. Make sure you go into the chat/index.php and change this:


// ## Changes Directory so it can accesss vBulletin ##
// Examples
// cPanel/Linux chdir("/home/username/public_html/forum/");
// Windows chdir("c:/inetpub/users/username/www/");
chdir('');


to this

// ## Changes Directory so it can accesss vBulletin ##
// Examples
// cPanel/Linux chdir("/home/username/public_html/forum/");
// Windows chdir("c:/inetpub/users/username/www/");
chdir('/hsphere/local/home/eddie/twdforums.com/');


That way it can reference

require_once("./global.php");

Properly.

[EDDIE!]

I figured out what I did wrong, thanks guys! Nice hack Zach!

[Lostnode]

What did you do wrong
(Its nice to share with others incase some one else does the same thing)

[jarvis]

And I'm still getting the Undefined Strings, lol.

Anyone?

[EDDIE!]

the problem I encountered was that in the require once section, I put in some weird URL, so I fixed it and everything worked great. I love this chat, way better than that vBChat. I'm just gonna look to see if there are any hacks or add-ons to this one now.

[jarvis]

Well, I am pulling my hair out on this one. I can see other sites just fine, but mine pulls the progrma up with the undefined strings. I have done EVERYTHING mentioned throughout this post and judging by the lack of response, I guess I am out of luck. I almost am led to believe that this might be an issue with Windows/IIS 6?

Oh well, grateful for any more ideas that may come my way.

[alfata]

plz help me coz i need it in rtl mode (Right To Left)

coz i'm using arabic language ,so i cant chat in arabic

thanks alot

[wrang]

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.

I have tried to loggout Admin and logged in again but it still doesent came up.

I'd really like to upgrade pjirc to 2.1.1 for the new features, and particularly the signed certificate as that will make users happier.

Is it just a matter of uploading the new pjirc package overwriting what this hack uses? Or does something more complicated with this hack need to happen?

[pokesph]

Awesome hack.. i have RE-installed it our new board.. we just love it!

5 Stars, 2 Thumbs Up.. etc.

Ill look into updating, I am not sure depending on the changes between 2.0.1 and 2.1.X

[Oblivion Knight]

I noticed a small typo in one of the templates (I'm not sure if this has been addressed, but I'm not hunting through 47 pages - I did a search and had no results).

In vbxirc_index, find:
<param name="quitmessage" value="$vboptions[qutmsg]">Replace with:
<param name="quitmessage" value="$vboptions[quitmsg]">Otherwise, the quit message you set in the vBXirc Settings will not take effect.

Wow - this is an excellent hack. I have installed it, and I had no problems with it!

where did you find this?

[GetGamer.com]

If I have several channels setup for my site, does this MOD let users switch between them?

[TMXS]

Will this script work with Vbulletin 3.0.1?

[Jason McConnell]

Do I need to have an IRC server already installed on my site? Or will this work standalone? Just reading thru the posts in the thread and saw the setting for irc.dal.net.... and if it is stand alone, what do I change that setting to?

[Oblivion Knight]

If I have several channels setup for my site, does this MOD let users switch between them?If they're on the same IRC network, they can run the command /join #channel and be connected to both at the same time.


Do I need to have an IRC server already installed on my site? Or will this work standalone? Just reading thru the posts in the thread and saw the setting for irc.dal.net.... and if it is stand alone, what do I change that setting to?You need to create a channel on an IRC network (or your own if you can work out how to do it). The registration command differs slightly on each.

[Slybone]

Let me start off by saying this hack itself is great...however I have run into a small issue, my logo is designed for a non expanded type style. Is there anyway to change the /chat/index.php page so that it isnt expanded? Thanks again, if you want my forum URL just ask and ill PM you it

[Oblivion Knight]

Edit the vbxirc_header template.. :)

I copied my header template and re-edited any links present.

[FlyingHammer]

I am honestly sorry for not reading the hole thread, but Gheeesh !!

This is a GREAT I have been using VBXirc for several months. I have never seen a hack for you to see on the forums who is online.
Is there a hack for vbxirc that shows that on the forums? or in a module on VBA CMPS ?

Thanks ! FlyingHammer

[FlyingHammer]

If I have several channels setup for my site, does this MOD let users switch between them?

YES, simply once connected the users can get list of channels from the button in upper right coner. and/or type /join #channel if they know the name.

[Toky0]

How do you set up an IRC channel? I'm pretty lost on that. I have a gaming community if it helps.

[T3MEDIA]

Hey what is the price for this software? Not the intergration but the actuall irc stuff? where can you get it?

From your experience which is better
flash chat vbchat or this?
I know they all are diffent. vbchat and flashchat are kina cousins in a way.
but I would like your input regardless.

Thanks.

Sowwy my n00b question, but is anyone using this Hack in vB 3.0.4 ?

I have this currently installed on my production vB 3.0.3, is there anything I should pay attention when I upgrade vB to 3.0.4, do I have to do any additional steps after upgrading to ensure this Hack will continue to work? O_o
