My first mod, ported to 6.1

Here we go:

Name: Chat Mod

Description: Lets you chat with jIRC. It has full CP support, it's 100% wordletized, it automatically gets the nick of the user/GuestXXXXX (5 random digits) if it's a guest, replaces smilies with real smilies, notifies Who's Online, shows how many people are currently chatting (by Who's Online) and even invites people to the chatroom (thanks to Olson).

Demo: http://www.lkubb.dns2go.com

Link: ZIP File or MultiHack File

Requirements: UBB™ 6.1 Beta Release 2.0 , Mod Wordlets 1.5 , jPilot License (unless you want to see an "unregistered" line after every line)

Special thanks to: Ryan Olson for Invitation Script, qasic and Borg for Who's Online, dj_rava for the Admin Command Buttons idea and Troy for MultiHack and supporting me all the way .

Screenshots: Forum Summary , Chat Window , CP

Great job, LK. Many people have been looking for this. I am not so sure I will use it though, but it's nice that ya did it.

Keep up the good work, LK!

Great hacl LK. I'll install it when 1.3 Comes out and the WOL will work. <img src="smile.gif" border="0" alt="" />

Cool hack. I'll definetely install this one when UBB 6.1.0 goes out of beta.

I'm very happy to see this. I hope that 6.1.3 is out by this weekend so that I can try it all. My whole desire for the chat is to log it, so I will be trying to read thru the jIRC doc about logging (I did read there that it can be done). I can't think of a better reason to use it. So many of the chats don't let you log. I want to save transcripts for others to look at that were not able to attend.

Files updated with a new ubb_chat.cgi, made some things tidier.

Debbie, are you sure it's possible? If so, can you tell me how? <img src="wink.gif" border="0" alt="" />

that link is invalid, any mirrors?

/me hates Tripod...

Fixed.

Well, if I knew for sure how, I'd have it done (also, if I had the time). At chat one day, you guys told me to go read up on it. I looked at the mIRC doc, and they do it. You can use "Logging" as the word to look up in the index. I don't know about jIRC vs. mIRC.

I have hosted my Caribbean Chat on AOL for 5 years and want to move it to my own site but want to log chats before I do it. Digichat does it, but that is megabucks. I think OnChat does it. I would like to do it here and plan to try it out. <img src="confused.gif" border="0" alt="" />

Evidentally not, then--http://www.jpilot.com/java/irc/ubb/contents/Forum3/HTML/000321.html

then this is not the way to go for me unless mIRC can be hacked in.

BTW, mIRC is at www.mirc.com and is only $20 to register.

Yeah, I already have it <img src="wink.gif" border="0" alt="" />

What you can do is that you'll use mIRC and choose to log anything, and other people will use jIRC, but then you'll have to be there all day long. If you have access to your server's box, you can put an Eggdrop ( www.egghelp.org ) and choose to log anything.

My webhosting outfit (featureprice.com) supports tcl,but I can't telnet or anything. I can only FTP. I don't think I can do this eggdrop thing. Don't you need to do the gunzip right on the server?

If others use jIRC, and I use mIRC, that means I have to buy both, but I like mIRC better (mainly because I have already figured it out)

Debbie:

1. I have no idea <img src="tongue.gif" border="0" alt="" /> But you can save it on the local (the one with eggdrop) computer.

2. You don't have to buy mIRC, you're (legally) allowed to use an unregistered copy.

ZIP/MHP Files updated so it will work better with Beta 1.4. If you wish, rehack ultimatebb.cgi and upload the new ubb_chat.cgi.

Hi, tried it on version 6.04 but no results

Is there a version that i can use ??

Regards Michel Vermaat

This is the V6.1 Mods in Beta forum. You can use Chat Mod v1.0.23 in V6.0x Mods in Beta

aaaaa sorry my mistake

LK, I'm having a couple problems. Let me know what you can do...

First) In the CP, I click on Chat Settings, and I get this error:

Second Error:


My opinions are that the first line is written wrong, maybe not. I'm not that great at writing CGI, so I'm probably wrong, but it does look wrong to me at least. For the second error, it's obvioulsy calling a template file that it's saying isn't there. I uploaded all the files to the right places, .pl files to templates, and .cgi files to cgi-bin, but no luck. I'll mess around with them a bit more, but if anyone can help, it would be greatly appreicated.

And you're correct

Something weird happened to vars_chat.cgi.

Fix: remove anything after the first "1;" in vars_chat.cgi.

ZIP file will be updated after I'll be able to enter Tripod UK.
