JPILOT / vBULLETIN INTEGRATION by jake (first hack! wOOtie!
 )-for jpilot 2.5.1 and vbulletin 2.2.6 to see this in action visit my site at www.macsubculture.com (there is a link in the nav column called IRC Chat) please see http://www.jpilot.com/ for info on the jpilot chat applet. instructions: -upload all the jpilot files to your vb root. see jpilot site for download and instructions. -upload both scripts in the scripts folder to your vb root. -create the new templates in your vb admin cp. see templates folder... templates to be named the same as each file, etc. -configure the jpilot params in the chatmain template. see the jpilot site for a list of all params and their functions. -put this link in your header template or where ever you want the IRC chat link to be: <a href="chat.php?s=$session[sessionhash]" onClick="window.open('chat.php?s=$session[sessionhash]','key','WIDTH=600,HEIGHT=450,scrollbars=no,left=50,top=50,screenX=50,screenY=50 ');return false">IRC Chat</a> -that's it! how it works: -link to the chat.php file first... this pulls the "chat" template which is an intro type of thing with info about the chat. put whatever "intro" type stuff you want in the "chat" template. the chat.php script does not check for registration. -in the "chat" template that the chat.php pulls there is a link to the chatmain.php file which checks for registration. if the user isn't registered or not logged in they are directed to the "chatnoreg" template which gives them a note saying they aren't logged in, etc. you can customize the chatnoreg template to say whatever you want. if they *are* logged in then they are directed to the chatmain template which has the applet and the params which loads the chat. -my jpilot params are set up so the user isn't even given a chat config screen. their name is auto filled in and they are auto logged into chat. i also have a param that disables the /nick command. only registered members can chat and they can't change their name in chat to impersonate people. if you want this set up differently it's all in the params (see the jpilot site for info). --jake *cream pie* Download Now Only licensed members can download files, Click Here for more information.

this looks good... do you have a rough idea of how much server strain or memory this would use, though? I've heard nothing but bad things about java applets and chats

only if the chat server is on your server..
the chat applet is executed client-side and the server is somewhere else! No members have liked this post.

How is this different from the original jPilot integration hack, posted here, coupled with my modification to it, posted here? Aside from the fact that yours goes in a popup window.

I've read that there's isn't a demo available of the hack you mention above. Is it possible that you put a demo on your website of Trog's hack and/or a demo of your modifications, so that we can see what it looks like. Jakeman has put it up, so I can see what he is talking about. I think you three did a GREAT job. A lot of people NEED a hack like this soooo badly. I run a website for patients with a certain disease and we just need an integrated chat in Vbulletin so badly. I'm hoping that Jelsoft will include an integrated chat in a future version very quickly. The demand is high. It will boost up the sales of Vbulletin tremendously, I think. I think it's a GREAT thing to use a IRC applet to do this. But what happens if I use MIRC to logon to the chatchannel? I guess you cannot check if someone is registered that way?  ~Grover.

It's true that anyone can come into the channel through a different client, like mIRC. There are probably ways to prevent that with invite-only modes or passwords, but I haven't really looked into that.
If you would like to see a demo on my board, you can login using username="Test User", password="testuser". No members have liked this post.

Userrights on integrated chat.
Thanks JJR512,
Is it possible for you to figure out how I can prevent other visitors to come to the channel trough MIRC or some other IRC client? I ONLY want registered users to have access to the chat. ONLY them. This is VITAL for me and our visitors, 'cause we run a website for people who suffer from a hair disease and privacy is a VERY important thing to us. I'll hope someone can help, because we need an integrated chat very badly. Thank U, Grover. Ohh....and thanks very much for your test-user! I just saw your chat...great! There's another one at: http://www.chins-n-quills.com/forums/ No members have liked this post.

i'm not sure how you could limit IRC chat to the jpilot applet only.
 if anyone else can tell me how then i'll add it to my zip file.

You should probably set the channel to be secret, meaing it will not show up in a channel listing:
/mode #YourChannelName +s Now for the real trick: You can password-protect your channel, so that a user must use that password when joining the channel. /mode #YourChannelName +k YourChannelPassword (Note: You can reverse any of these settings later by changing the + to -.) This sets a password for your channel. Now, to make the hack work with a password-protected channel, you need to add a parameter to the template. Somewhere in the "param" list, add this: <param name="DisplayConfigChannelPass" value="true"> Also, make sure that you have this line in there, too: <param name="DirectStart" value="false"> This will make sure the config screen, which asks for the password, is shown. Note that you have not seen this screen on my site, because I have it bypassed. Look here for a complete list of the various parameters you can set through the template: http://www.jpilot.com/java/irc/manual.html By setting various parameters, you can show the config screen, but block it from showing the channel or server info, which will help keep that info secret, making it harder for people to break in. You just need to tell the people who need to know it what the password is. Note that they can still join through mIRC or other separate programs, by using this command: /join #YourChannelName YourChannelPass Note: I have not tried all of this stuff myself. It's all from what I've read here: http://www.jpilot.com/java/irc/manual.html and here: http://www.newircusers.com/ircmds.html I think this is about as secure as you can make IRC, from what I can tell.

wow... seems like too much trouble ;p. plus it isn't full proof. plus you would have to disable directconnect which is a really cool feature; i think it's better to have as few steps as is possible for the end user to start chating.
i wonder if ircd can be setup to check for the client software and disallow all but jpilot? that would be ideal. i wouldn't mind implementing something like that!

If you're running the IRCD you could possibly password protect the server, or kline everything except the relative hostmask of the jirc applet.
just a few ideas. No members have liked this post.
