What is it?: An add on to add Jpilot chat to your Threads install. <br /> <br />Why would I care?: This mod uses a template, and only allows registered users to chat. <br /> <br />Who gets the props?: Dave_L for the code to convert spaces to underscores. JoshPet for letting me use his popup script and omegatron for allowing me to see his chat script. <br /> <br />How do I install it?: <br /> <br />1) Copy jchat.php and chatpopup.php script to your ubbthreads directory. <br /> <br />2) Edit the jchat.tmpl file and change "dachat" to the name of the chat channel you want to use. <br /> <br /><param name="Channel1" value="dachat" /> <br /> <br />3) Copy the jchat.tmpl file to your ubbthreads/templates/default/ directory. <br /> <br />4) Add to the online.php file in all of your language directories. <br /> <br />5) Download a copy of Jpilot and copy it to a directory named chat under your ubbthreads directory (mine is in ubbthreads/chat). <br /> <br />For more info on configuring Jpilot see their web site. <br /> <br /><Da_Soap_Box> <br /> <br />I could have easily named this add on "How to add something to Threads using a "Threads like" template file". My challenge to all future mods for Threads is that if you create a new php script that you also make that script use a template file. It's a lot easier for most people to edit a template than it is for them to edit a php script. Plus we might just start seeing some of these add ons in the addons folder of a future Threads release. <br /> <br /></Da_Soap_Box> <br /> <br />Enjoy <img src="/threads/php/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <br /> <br />Version 1.1 now includes a popup window to update the who's online display.

I know there are a bunch of users that will get a lot of use out of this. Thanks! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

<img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <br /> <br />There are a couple variations of this one floating around, but I figured I'd write one that uses a template <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <br /> <br />It's all your fault JustDave... <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Thanks Dalantech I was actuall thinking of this a few weeks ago. Your right there are quite a few chat mods around here. Good to be updated.

Thank you for letting me see your chat script! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

<img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> thats why its posted here so everyone can have a chat.<br /><br />Now if I can ever get instant messaging done again like I had in UBB I will be a happy camper. Shout box is close but not exactly what I want.

Thanks Dlanatech - keep meaning to re-install the chatroom - maybe this will prompt me to do it LOL<br /><br />Ian

Great Job!

Thanks for your help on it <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Just something i want to run by you guys before I install this.<br />My site uses Jpilot, and IIRC, it logs you onto irc.webchat.org? (correct me if i'm wrong).<br />The only problem I forsee myself having is with usernames. Because I have a channel registered on irc.webchat.org, if someone from my site comes into the room and someone else on the server is using that name, and has it protected (aggresively or not) they get renamed as guest in the chatroom. how would this affect threads?<br />I'm a bit confused as to how this works at the monent tbh!

No effect at all on Threads. The user name is passed to Jpilot as the user's nickname for the chat session, but that's all. It just makes it easy for the IRC newbies on your site to log into the IRC server.<br /><br />Look at the comments in my script and you'll understand what it's doing a lot better.

nice job <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

aha! Thanks, I understand now. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I'm trying to find info on admin commands for the chatroom stuff...I've never really gotten into it, but figured now would be a good time to start. I have it all set up on my board, and it works very well. However, before I let people know about it, I figured I should make the other admins admins of the chat too (is it possible?) I'm looking for administrator commands for the chatroom on jpilot.com but their forums are down and the command section doesn't deal with it...<br /><br />Any other places to look?<br /><br />-peter

Thanks <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

IRC Commands

Thanks a bunch! Is there any chance I can have the chatroom info like who's in the chat show in the WOL? <br /><br />Thanks again for everything!<br /><br />-peter

I think people show up as "private" even though the chat script is in the Threads directory, and I'm not realy sure how to make them show up as being in the chat. Can anyone point me in the right direction for making it work?

If the page is called "chat.php"<br /><br />In the languages/english/online.php language file, add this:<br /><br /><br />$ubbt_lang['chat'] = "In the Chat Room";<br />

Proving, yet again, that you rule! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />Thanks!
