[code][/code]works only if i delete this last line. can u help me ?

error:
######

Reinstall mod wordlets.

ZIP/MHK files updated, I added 'Nickname Extension' part to the CP. It adds an extension to the nickname, so nicks shouldn't be 'reserved' anymore if you'll use this optional feature.

For example, if you'll use '-IP' as the extension and 'navaho' as the nickname, the nickname will be 'navaho-IP'.

LK,

I had your chat hack on my old 6.05 and Ive just upgraded from 6.2.1

I left all the var files alone, didnt lose a thing. Excellent work.

I am now having the same trouble I had originally with access to the chat page however.

I would like to prevent any guest and/or member without posting privledges from accessing the chat room.

Thanks!
michael

I got everything working ok. But whenever I try to connect to a server I always get an error that says USER * not enough parameters. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Bizkit73,
I had the same problem.
I removed some of the parameters from ubb_chat.cgi that I wasn't using and it fired right up!
Here's what I took out.








Of course, your list may be different.

Can you tell me if it works when you'll use the code I provided, but with:?

LK,
I put the code back in with your correction and it gave me the "not enough parameters" error again.
It would probally work if the question were answered in the cp. I just didn't need them for my chat server. I think.
BTW, I took that code from a clean copy of ubb_chat. I didn't change it.

It seems to be working fine with one major problem.

All the buttons that affect channel mode act fine until I click the OK button. Then I get the following responce.

*** #%$C You're not on that channel

I checked the code against the board of have working with the old version and it reads.

OLD CODE
Both connect to the same server and channel, so it has to be a variable getting dropped somewhere, but I am not sure where to begin looking.

Excellent mod LK; I've always wanted a way to implement a fully-controllable IRC environment for my BB.

Is there a way to connect to the chat server through a proxy on a per-user basis? I work on a Naval Station and can't connect because I don't see a way to connect through our proxy. I can connect from home just fine. I see in the CP that I can input SOCKS4 information, but this would affect everyone's connection, and I don't believe we use SOCKS4 anyway.

Also, what is the field Hostname for in the CP?

LSGOLF, URL? the one in your homepage is 6.05
AKD, 1. Display Config Sock thing, I think; 2. no idea

http:dynamic3.gamespy.com/~links/ubb6211/ultimatebb.cgi is the url to the test board that I am working with. I ended up hardcoding the channel (replacing the #%/$C with the actual channel name in the code.) I will revert it back to the original code if you want to diagnosethe problem, but it works this way, so I am happy.

Yes, revert back.

And it's , not /

Reverted Back

You can ICQ me (if you have it) at 784268 if you have questions.

I found the answer to my own question....

I am befind firewall, can I connect to IRC servers outside ?
Currently, jIRC does not support proxy connection. It means that jIRC applet can only connect to IRC servers inside your local network if you are behind company's firewall.

Oh well. Looks like I can't use government time to test my chat room until they add proxy functionality!

LS, can you paste that /topic line from http://dynamic3.gamespy.com/~links/ubb6211/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=chat ? Only admins can see it...

Anyhow, I strongly suggest you to remove this rightclick block - you can always use the menubar and you can always remove javascript support from the browser with 1 click. But it's very annoying.

Not sure what you mean by

I switched to a different style then the one I was using to get rid of the right click block (we are going to need that because of link theft) for now.

If you want to test it out as an admin, sign up for an account and I will gladdy grant you admin rights.

How do you add sounds to the chat room ?

cupid, rehack cp.cgi
LSGOLF, 1. in the HTML source, find a line with '/topic' in it, and paste it here.
2. in noncgi directory, add sound_X.au to add /sound X.

In the future release I plan on adding a selectbox with all sounds.

[code][/code]I add the sounds by the specs but they don't seem to play.

sound_test.au is in there, but it won't play. Is there some special properties like mono 8 bit or something needed

Make sure you're using AU format.

I meant from the HTML source, not the UBB source - enter ?ubb=chat and paste from there

BTW, (for everybody - not just ls), I fixed something in ubb_lib_files, please rehack it.

Oops, try again now

Yes, only this file.

thank you

will this update affect the IM hack ?

Ink-A

If you have IM hack, don't hack this file.

ZIP file updated. Now it adds sound selectbox (optional). Rehack cp_lib.cgi and re-upload cp_vars_chat.pl, ubb_chat.cgi. Then enter chat settings and enable it.

Thank you LK

I will do that

why i don't have to hack ubb_lib_files with IM hack?

what did you fix on it ?

thank you

Inka

I mean don't hack CHAT MOD's ubb_lib_files

The only difference is that chat mod only reads your FIRST message, while IM can read all of them.

Your not chatting on your own server right, so it doesn't need much data does it? I have a limited data traffic...

Right

Download again and re-upload ubb_chat.cgi, now the sound stuff uses a capital letter as the first letter (like 'Join' instead of 'join')

[code][/code]From the html page.

FYI, I moved the board into production. The new url is Links Corner

As far as the sound stuff goes. They are all au files. I tried playing with case, and the ones that worked before work as lowercase or upper case. The ones that don't work don't seem to care about case, they still won't work.

Come on, if you don't want us to know you're using a cracked version you can hide the about button

Can you do the following in ubb_chat.cgi:
[code][/code]

I bought it of a member about a year ago who said he was no longer using it and offered it to me for $ 25.00 He gave me the licence number to fill in and it worked so I thought all was kosher. I had no clue he had pirated it.

THNAK YOU for catching that. I registered it the second I read your post.

Resigtration Confirmation

If you see anything else there that is not licensed, let me know. I work with a number of large software companies as a consultant and don't want any of that **** on my sites.

Just to let everybody know, a license key is special for any domain - nobody that says that stuff can actually do it legally.

Updated UBB_CHAT.CGI as per your request

The topic thing works fine here

BTW, if you want to fix that public name problem, get member file stripper from www.ubbcentral.com

Awesome, thanks for the fix to that, it is driving me nuts.

Still getting same No Channel Found here.
