Integrated Chat v.3 Download Here

This is an irc mod that uses a private irc server run by everywherechat.com. The owner of the server Brodle and I have been working together and he has offered to host all the irc servers for YaBB. It is fast, free, and best of all uses none of your bandwith!

Features:

1. Automatically logs users on with their forum name (not their login name) plus an _forumname. This name is up to you to choose. Since everyone will be using the same server this will prevent any conflicts. If the user had a space in their forum name it will be replaced with an underscore.

2. Displays the users who are online on the forum underneath number of messages (though it can be moved).

3. Displays the number of users currently in the chat room.

4. The chat room can be access via any irc program as well and those users will still show up on the whose chatting on the forums page!

5. You can list the number of users and who is using your chat on any page on your website.

Note: PLEASE BACK UP FIRST!! This is a first beta mod!
Even though there are very few steps please do this. Please read the mod file carefully. Please post your results here.

Currently users can double click on their name once they log in to register with nickserv.

***** Make sure to double click in the channel to set yourself and your other forum mods up as room moderators.

Future Updates:

1. It is very possible to set this up to automatically register users accounts with the servers nickserv automatically.

2. Writing an addon that will take the logged in usernames, dump them to a file and remove the forum name add-on so that it will no appear at the top of your forum.

3. Brodle is working on upgrading the server so that your room can be invisible and still list the users in the room on your forum. Currently if you set it to invisible then your users will not be listed on your forum.

If you are interested in helping out with these updates let me know.

If you have any questions about the chat program itself you can contact Brodle via email at [email protected] or by going to the support room on the server, by typing /join #support

Oh, if you guys would rather have the list of users currently in chat listed down where users online are let me know and I will change the code to do that.

If anyone has any questions about the chat interface itself or the service please just ask. A little background for the service. I have been running a free chat community for 6 years now, offering free chat rooms for websites and for people to come in chat in. I work for  Akiva who develops the chat software and use the server to release new features and get  feedback on them. Help us work out new features also capture any bugs.  Use of the service is free and there are no ads so it is idle. GooseMoose found me awhile back and I have been working with him to integrate chat into his board.

Oh, I also offer translated interfaces, German, Spanish, Dutch, Nepal, Greek and a few others.

 <edit file>
subs.php
</edit file>

in your integratedchat.mod


later!!

[goosemoose]

Thanks for letting me know. I fixed it and uploaded it just now. Did you get it up and working on your board?

[PioneeR]

Am just trying your mod. I like it.

The only problem I have is I would prefer to have Transcript Recording turned off by default??

A minor thing is that when it shows which users are online there seems to be an extra , shown.. not really important at all though  

[goosemoose]

Hi Pioneer,
 Glad you like it. What is your website?

  I know about the extra ",". Brodle thinks it is coming from an invisible user that handles registration for the room. It should be an easy fix though and won't require anything on your end. I'll check into the transcript recording. If you msg Brodle or email him at the address above he can probably turn it off for your room. I actually have a bot that sits in my room to take care of kicking idiots and keep a log for myself to handle members who become a problem.

[brodle]

I fixed the default room transcripts on problem. It is now a room owner setting in the chat room options.

That recording of chat is fine.. but my members are rather paranoid at the best of times!

I am trialing to chats at the moment, yours.. and one that is based on Jpilot.

goosemoose: very nice chat and it's working fine........i like it.

[PioneeR]

I think its missing a </a> should be like the following..

Code Select Expand

      $yymenu .= "$menusep<a href=\"$cgi;action=chat;user=$euser\" target=_blank><img src=\"$imagesdir/chat.gif\" alt=\"Chat\" border=\"0\"></a>";

[brodle]

Some people like to have the ability to retrieve the transcripts and display them on their site.

Jpilot has nothing on my chat applet !! Plus I am willing to help anyone who would like to customize the look and feel of the applet. Basically a skin overlays on top of the applet to make up the graphical look. So it can match your website. I can also rmeove any of the buttons so if you say didnt want the rooms tab just let me know the name of the room you created and I can make it happen. [email protected]

Thanks pioneer, I'll fix it right now.

My users love your chatroom!!

Highly recommended! Its nice and quick.. no lag what so ever!

How come something this good is free?
