UBB.Developers Forums UBB.classic V6 MultiHack Mods [6.0x] Chat Mod 1.0.23

My first mod

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 (with SmilieMod support), notifies Who's Online, shows how many people are currently chatting (by Who's Online) and even invites people to the chatroom.

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

Link: ZIP File (last updated: 07.23.2001) OR MultiHack File (last updated: 07.23.2001)

Requirements: Who\'s Online 3.9Qa , jPilot License (unless you want to see an "unregistered" line after every line)

Special thanks to: Ryan Olson for Invitation Script, qasic, Borg and Philipp for their scripts, Troy J. for MultiHack and especially to my mom and dad

Screenshots: Forum Summary , Chat Window , CP

/me is so excited

What license key do we input in the vars_chat.cgi ?
Nice hack! Thanks.

The one that you got when you bought jIRC

Works perfectly except for one thing.
When there are users in the chat that are using the java chat and are seen by Who's Online, it wont count them.

It still says "There are currently 0 people in the chatroom. Click here to join it."
Sometimes it will say there is 1 person, but never more than that.

Is this something I may have caused? Can anyone help me with this?

the3jams, Open Who's Online in a new window and refresh the main page at the same time,
it should be the same.

Don't forget it will never include you, because if you refresh the main page you're now "Viewing: Main Page", not Chatting.


If it still won't work, rehack ubb_lib.cgi.
LK.

If anyone cares about singular/plural, redownload the zip and rehack ubb_forum_summary.cgi and public_forum_summary.pl.

the hack works great, the only thing what don't work is the applet, i have jirc installed on my server as a "standalone" where my license works, if i use you hack it don't work, i put the right license key in the chat settings, cleared cach etc. but the applet still says #please register bla bla...

i'm a stupif mf, i installed it on my local test board and am wondering why it does'nt work :rolleyes:

sorry

It requires Mods Wordlets.
Is Mods Wordlets an another hack?
Where can I find it please?

i implented it in my board and it works fine.
the only thing i hate at this hack is the licens key

keep up this good work

You can find them here:
Modification Wordlet Module v0.1

Hi ya LK what a gr8 hack

but i have installed it and i get no errors from any scripts but when i click on the chat link at the bottom of me forum i get the page but a grey screen in the middle and it says load class chat not found ????

please help i would love it to work

i found out the answer for myself but i have to share it to help you all as much as you have helped me ....

some servers dont recognise cab file so you have to change the:

jirc_mss.cab file to Jirc_mss.bin

now you have to edit one file

*****
Open ubb_chat.cgi
*****

*****
Find
*****


*****
Replace with
*****


it worked a treat for me

i hope this helps someone

First off, this mod is excellent. I installed it as soon as I spotted it.

If I may make a suggestion - maybe make some more of the Jchat configurabe parameters editable from the control panel. For example, to get it to fit with my color scheme, I had to change the BG on the user name list. So, I went in to ubb_chat.cgi and added:



To set it to blue. It works fine, as did all the extra params I added manually, but being able to do so from the control panel would be nice.

Again, excellent work. If you want to check out my implementation of the hack, take a peek at my board here .

what version of jpilot is this using

One thing that would be nice to see is a subroutine that converts html colors to rgb colors. now this really isn't hard and then you could implement your particular ubb style settings and colors into the chat.

granted it is not too hard to convert your current colors manually. that's what i did the first time, but if you are someone who changes color template often, this would quickly become a pain.

Iniaes: ZIP file updated (upload ubb_chat.cgi, cp_vars_chat.pl, cp_chat.cgi, vars_wordlets_mods.cgi, and if you can, vars_chat.cgi, if not, just choose whatever you want in the CP and click to update it.), and also, you didn't update ubb_forum_summary.cgi/public_forum_summary.pl correctly, it doesn't say anything at the bottom.

Mickie D: 2.5.1, files are included in the package.

BTW, to replace colors now, you can use calculator, choose "Hex", type the first 2 letters/digits, click on "Dec" and do the same to the 2 in the middle and last 2, and put it in the CP: "first_couple,second_couple,third_couple".

LK,
Great hack, many thanks. Its testing out just fine for me. I just want to ask is there a way to increase the chat window size. Its quite small for me????
Cheers.
Viking.

MY UBB

viking, ZIP file updated

LK,
Thanks and nice talking with you in chat.
Cheers.
Viking.

ZIP file updated, it now replaces all regular UBB smilies, :rolleyes:
Files updated: all new ones, ubb_chat.cgi, cp_chat.cgi, cp_vars_chat.pl, if you can vars_chat.cgi, if not just the lines of FilterVals and FilterKeys.

Either with bin or cab...it still gives the message "chat class not found"

Maybe it must be chmod, or uploaded as binary or ascii?

All files are in the good dirs, so i can't figure out where it went wrong.
How to let this work?

Variables, in my other site, I can't see the chat because of the same reason but others can.
It's really weird because I can see other applets, but anyway there is no solution for it, it's something in Java.

If it's not that, what's your URL?

And it should be uploaded as binary, and on UNIX it should work fine with the default CHMOD, 644, but you can try 775/777.

LK, i've put the code into a html file. And it worked! Strange, but when i opened the UBB again with the chat...it worked! Before that it could'nt open the chat load class.

In Jpilot a chatter can send smileys in the chat text with ; ), or sounds etc. How can we tell the hack to do that?

Variables: it does that in the new version.
Just redownload it and upload cp_chat.cgi, ubb_chat.cgi, cp_vars_chat.pl and FilterKeys/FilterVals lines of vars_chat.cgi.

About the sounds, rename them to sound_trigger.au, then type /s trigger, like sound_yahoo.au = /s yahoo

Examples of both can be seen in my testsite.

[ June 01, 2001 01:05 PM: Message edited by: LK ]

ZIP & MultiHack Files updated with 4 new sounds.

I got everything installed okay, but I wanted my own channel. How do you do that?

I just upgraded my board to 6.04e today and am wanting to install your great chat, but I cannot get the other hacks in mhk format.

I tried the SHW wordlets mod and got an error "Add text error..." message so I just gave up since 6.04e might have something different and the SHW is not updated.

Is there a place to get the Who's online and the wordlets in MHK format?

I like how it all works too nice setup. I missed the Voice Chat from days of old (created MUCH usage on my site), but now that is gone and I havent had a chat room since. I am typing too much.

"It's official... Skorpion is king!"

I know almost nothing about chat. How do you get the smilies to work? Just by typing them in?

[ June 01, 2001 09:36 PM: Message edited by: Steel String ]

I get complilation errors in ultimatebb.cgi does not say which line, However I have done your hack multiply times and does not work.

Do I have to have a license or do I have to install the chat program somehere on my server or is that what your chat zip file does? zips and unzips as needed?

Chuck

smoke_svx: http://topi.freeservers.com/ubbhacks/ubbhacks.html
Steel String: type regular smilies, like .
omegatron: It can be any file. Make sure you copied anything from the first line till the last one and in the correct place.
If you'll not find it, use MultiHack's uninstall option and the step it hasn't succeed is the wrong one.

[ June 01, 2001 11:13 PM: Message edited by: LK ]

Okay LK,

I redid again and again it was the zip verus bin thing. Now everything works except I get a blank grey window when I hit the chat link. The chat never configures.

omegatron: You're right
It's probably because of your server.

got it working nice hack,

Looks pretty kewl .. just too bad how much the registration fee is
