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:

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

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.
[ May 29, 2001 12:54 AM: Message edited by: LK ]
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
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
LK,
Thanks and nice talking with you in chat.
Cheers.
Viking.
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.
[ June 01, 2001 12:52 PM: Message edited by: LK ]
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.

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
50 bucks isn't that expensive, I think...
[ June 02, 2001 01:16 AM: Message edited by: LK ]
-- hey -- i am very very cheap .. nearly didnt buy a UBB but they were cheap back then a one year license for 90$
now they are like 250$ something .. 50$ isnt to bad but thats ok i dont really need a chat on my website at the moment maybe if i get some more money then..
Oops, I uploaded the wrong .MHP
Redownload it.
wow ... great hack! now about that $50.00 registrant fee ...
Okay, perhaps it's because I'm exhausted because I was up forever last night installing multiple hacks (one of which I created), but how the heck do you modify the title bar color of chat on the main forum summary page at
http://www.seibertron.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi ? I thought the control panel would do it, but it doesn't seem to. I want it to match the color of the rest of the title bars. Thanks in advance!
Seibertron, every parameter that exists is configurable from the CP.
Try Title Background Color and TitleForegroundColor
I know I most likely don't have all my facts right and such but I have an IRC channel and I would like it so instead of using that jpilot stuff you could find another way of joining into that channel AND not having that annoying unregistered stuff. I want something where you just click the link that says chat here and it brings you to the page and instead of jpilot it opens some other program or window that has the IRC channel that the Administrator specified. The people who connect to the channel uses mIRC and the people who used the UBB Chat should be able to interact and if they have server op powers or such should be able to use them. In summary I just want a way to talk in the IRC channel without opening up IRC. And none of this made sense and i'm just babbling on and on an...
Ok, next question: the main forum summary page says that no one is in the chat room, but there's three of us in there currently. I refreshed the page and played around with it some, but it won't display. Suggestions? Help?
Seiberton, it doesn't take the information from the applet, it takes it from Who's Online.
Open Who's Online page and the main page at the same time. Is it different?
My chat is trying to smile, it accepts the filterkeys string but it doesn't seem to be finding the assigned filtervals. It's just ignoring the smiley input and printing nothing to the screen. Is it just not finding those .gif files? If so, where is that defined?
This is a awesome hack, it's hard to believe this is your first. I sometimes go into the chat just to hang around, but it's getting kinda' boring with no smilies.
Steel String, URL?
It works by
(noncgi dir's URL), so put all smilies there, like
https://www.ubbdev.com/ubb/smile.gif.
Do any of you guys know how to change your username's passwords in the chat? I know you don't offer support for the jpilot software, I was just wondering if someone could point me in the right direction. Thanks!!! I'll be in chat most of the day at
http://www.seibertron.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=chat
ZIP File updated with instructions for Who's Online 3.9qa.
Rehack: ultimatebb.cgi, ubb_whos_online.cgi
how do you make it so that everytime an admin enters he becomes a chatroom operator?.. kuz for me its whoever enters the room first becomes the operator.. then if the admin enters he's just a regular member.. the person whoever enterd first can kick even the admins out. that kinda sux... i want power!!
ruph, if you're still using DALnet:
Type:
/nickserv register password email (password = a password you WON'T forget, Email = the REAL one),
Then type
/chanserv register #channel password description (#channel = your channel's name, like #LK, password = a password you WON'T forget, may be another one than your nick's, description = what is your forums about).
Then tell an Admin/Moderator to register the nick aswell,
/nickserv register password real-email, and you'll type
/chanserv aop #channel add admin-or-mod's-nickExample:
[*]/nickserv register LKRulesEarth [email protected]
[*]/chanserv register #LK LKForumsRule LK's Forum's Chatroom
[*](Other Admins/Mods should do:) /nickserv register AnOtherPassword [email protected]
[*]/chanserv aop #LK add Bah (Bah = other mod's nick in this case)
Now the admins should type
/nickserv identify password, like /nickserv identify AnOtherPassword in this case, and
/chanserv op #channel theirnick, like /chanserv op #LK Bah in this case.
If it's not clear enough, Gimme your chat's details and I'll meet you there.

nm.. works like a charm!
[ June 05, 2001 07:57 PM: Message edited by: ruph ]
Just an observation dont know if there is anything to help. I have done the hack many times. It works great but the who's online does not work. It says no one is in the chat. i can leave chat with people and reload who's online and it never says anyone is there. I did the 3.9a upgrade chat whos online etc.
after upgrading whos online to 3.9 redownload the zip again and rehack ultimatebb.cgi and ubb_whos_online.cgi in the chat doc..
I have done that. It works when you start chatting. However after someone is in chat for a while it drops them alltogether off the who's online. This is more of a bug than anything else.
omegatron, Who's Online drops inactive users after some time you choose. The info in the first page isn't taken from the applet, it's taken from Who's Online, and Who's Online can't know when a person leaves the UBB, so if he doesn't reload the page/change it in some time you choose in the CP, he's been removed from the list.
You can't see yourself there, because when you check the Main Page/Who's Online you'll be "Viewing: Main Page" or "Checking: Who's Online".
I hope you got what I mean. If anybody has any idea how to improve it, I'll appreciate your help.
LK.
after I upgraded to whosonline 3.9 I get this error as soon as I press the link of the chat
Software error:
Undefined subroutine &main::WriteUserSession called at /home/virtual/mydomain.ru/html/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi line 368.
the script there is
#print header(-cookie=>[$cookie1, $cookie2, $cookie3]);
print header(
-cookie=>[$cookie1, $cookie2, $cookie3],
-charset => "$masterCharset");
} else {
#line 368
unless (($ubb eq 'submit_registration') || ($ubb eq 'edit_profile')) {
any ideas
Dreamer, I go the exact same problem. But I was installing a fesh copy of this chat and whos online. (I am making whos online invisible on my board, because I don't want it to show up, but I want the # of people in the chat to show up correctly.
Are you sure thant is line 368 in your script?
This is what you are supposed to add to part of your ultimatebb.cgi script. (This is what I added and I got the same error message as you. So I commented out 368 and the chat ran fine, but the info about the user being in the chat didn't show up in whos online.)
Commenting it out is lame because I want the person to appear in the whos online script so the # of people in the chat is correct.
So I tried this...
That allowed the chat to show up just fine. But for some reason no one is appearing in the whos online for the chat area. (Although, whos online is working great for the other parts of my board.) I am aware that if I go to the whos online page it will take my name from the chat section. So I have tried it with two seperate browsers (ie vs. netscape) with two seperate usernames. But this seems to also cause some weird things.
Any idea why whos online is not picking up on the chat area? Maybe there was a change in the coding for whos online since this chat scripts was made?
You're supposed to do this:
If you want the numbers to appear, open ubb_whos_online.cgi and do this:
All these instructions are in the latest version of chat mod (06-05-01).
so LK if I do this will my problem be solved ?
Yep
Question. I already have a chat on MIRC so would there be a way to have this hack created with the chat I have already or would I just have to use this one?
The channels/servers here are just like in mIRC, so just type in the CP the servers and channel.
How would I go about uploading the zip files and the audio files to another server instead of having it on the one my board runs on and still do this hack?
If I get you right, you mean you want the chat to be outside the UBB.
The easiest solution is to download jPilot jIRC pack from
www.jpilot.com Hope it helped
I looked at the directions and noticed this part
chat => "Chat",
FieldNameNick => "Nick Name:",
FieldNameNickPassword => "NickName Password:",
FieldNameChannel => "Channel:",
FieldNameChannelPassword => "Channel Password:",
FieldNameReal => "Real Name:",

Ok if I just do the hack and have the stuff above set to my current mirc chat will people be able to get inside to the chat?
Jus check out
http://www.soldierfamily.com/chat.htm thats the java chat that leads into the mirc chat. Thats what Im worried about because I use my chat with mirc. I hope you understand.
Oh, that's what you mean... Ignore my other message
This mod is using IRC just like your applet does. Just set it up in the CP (Server Name, Channel Name).
Sorry for bugging you but I'm having a few problems.
1. The chatis not loading.
2. I dont want to have
So you have to change ubb_chat.cgi manually
I am also having the same problem with the chat saying 0 users. Was in there last night with 8 people for a half hour and it said 0-1 users. Having it show no one in the chat room is a dterrent for others to join. If it does not work, perhaps I should remove that part of the hack. That is something that should not be there if it does not work.
If the problem has been solved, let me know!
Thanks.
Your board shows the counter correctly, but it only shows if Who's Online shows it (less than 10 minutes, if no page was visited afterwards) because I don't think there is any way to take the information from the applet.
You can change "There is no one in the chatroom. Click
here to join it." in ubb_forum_summary.cgi to "Click
here to join the chatroom."
Understood, thanks for the fast reply.
Hi ~ LK
Can you give me a hand..

but,now ,i can't success to connect to the irc server ,please help me how to set in cp

LK,
Great work. The upgrade went in like a dream and worked fine. Thought i might mention that the chat needs to set again in the control panel for those upgrading. Might not be obvious to all.
Cheers.
Viking.
PS if you have some better instructions for using the chat i could use them. Some of the commands i dont know what they do. CTCP for example.
ex. CTCP nickname VERSION shows which IRC client does the user use; CTCP nickname CLIENTINFO shows all CTCP command the client accepts. CTCP nickname TIME shows the local time of the user etc...

LK,
I had version 1 up and running no problems. I went to do the latest version and there is a problem with the require ubb command. I hack per your instructions but it does not work. I upgraded my computer last night and do not have version 1 anymore. I love this hack and want to get it to work any ideas?
I have tried several time and each time It has a compilation error when the ubbchat.cgi is required line.
omegatron,
It's really weird... Do you have ICQ? If not, please enter UBBDEV's chatroom.
any alternatives for someone that has an older version of whos oline....
???
Pimpster: I *think* you should do the same, but when you'll finish hacking it:
LK thanks...
i have already completed this hack...and afterwards, a software error came up....
then after the software error, i then noticed the requirements....
anyway point being, i cant lose time with errors, members will leave...for good...
so what im asking is before i do this again....
i do the hack regulary....except add that extra code you sent me to the ultbb....
thats it?
jus double checking...cuz i have 1800 members and would hate to f*** things up....
HI LK,
Just thought i would let you know that there are a few problems with netscape users.
1. chat applet window is not in the center.
2, instructions. nothing appears just the headers and footers.
3, invite, same as above just headers and footers.
Any quick fixes would be great. Yeh i know dont use netscape.
Cheers.
Viking.
1. Fixed.
2/3. Not in my netscape... (using NS6)
Redownload the ZIP and copy the new ubb_chat.cgi.
well... for those who want a license key, mail me the host of your board and i'll send you a free license key *g*
LK, sorry to bother you again....but the catagory for the chat bar doesnt show up on the front page of ubb....the cp is working fine, its jus on the ultbb....
i know the problem is i left out one part....but i did that only cuz i cant find this....
and since i cant find that above...that means i cant insert the coding u have in thr read me, underneath...
any suggestions whut i should look for instead, once again im using v6.00...
you will problem solve my problem, so let me thank you in advance...rather then cluttering this thread tomm....
so thank you
You don't REALLY need this part...
You're saying ONLY the category is invisible or the whole bar?
Try to clear your cache, and make sure you hacked public_forum_summary.pl/vars_wordlets_mods.cgi correctly.
Click,
Would you be refering to a crack? Not a very good thing to offer on this board. Things of that nature are very frowned upon here.
Does anyone have the Smilie Mod installed with this?? The smilies dont seem to show up when i click on the Instant Graemlins in the chat... found a way to fix it yet LK?
ruph, you mean none of the smilies works or only the new ones of DPK's SmilieMod don't?
I can, and have, made everything work with SmilieMod, but there is a problem with /smilies directory... I think it's something in jPilot jIRC client.
I've even asked in their forums and they said it can't work:
http://www.jpilot.com/java/irc/ubb/contents/Forum1/HTML/000603.html If you can move it to the regular (not /smilies) directory, I can make it be automatic. Is it fine?
so you want me to move the smilies in my noncgi directory?? i have both smilies uploaded in the smilies directory and noncgi.. still doesnt work... can you repeat what you said.. i didnt really understand
after using the ChatUpgrade multihack file I get this error:Content-type: text/html
Software error:
/*****/****/******/public_html/cgi-bin/forum/ubb_chat.cgi did not return a true value at /export/home/mr2001q/public_html/cgi-bin/forum/ubb_forum_summary.cgi line 42.
what should i do to repair this?
Also, how do u add more than one channel...i have added a few servers but not yet figured out the way to add more channels.
Thanks in advance! and this is a kick ass hack!!!
[ June 19, 2001 07:24 PM: Message edited by: MrQ ]
MrQ, I didn't think anyone will use more than 1 channel because IMO it's the best to put all users in 1 channel so they can chat one with the other.
About the other thing, I dunno why does it happen. A workaround can be to add the ubb_whos_online.cgi that was removed in the upgrade (put it after $ct = $ci + $minutes;), and then remove the 'require "ubb_chat.cgi"' line from ubb_forum_summary.cgi.
LK:Found here a little bug:
check
THIS TOPIC With chat mod, when you try to login on the board it gives this error "Sorry, the password you entered is not correct", however it logs on the board... very weird.
check here some examples of the boards of users from here who installed this hack
http://www.demobreakers.f2s.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi http://www.seibertron.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi http://lkubb.dns2go.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi Try to register yourself, then, log out, and try to login again. It will say, password incorrect!!! Your test board also gives this error.. i've checked hundreds of times, and i've hacked mine correctly.
hope you can solve this.. it's a great hack!
click, You're absolutely right!
Bug fixed, upload the new ubb_chat.cgi.
ruph: It's something with jPilot, maybe you didn't upload jirc_mss.zip, jirc_nss.cab or jirc_pure.zip correctly, or maybe it's something with F2S. I suggest you to ask in jPilot forums.

tks LK!
Btw, is possible to enforce some user to join automatically 2 channels at the same time when the chat starts ? i tryed to do that, but couldn't do it.
thanks
No, it's impossible because of jIRC applet.
I can put 2 channels in the list, but the user can join only 1 at a time and can always type "/join #another-channel".
I have checked and rechecked my hacking, first I had a problem with using the hack installer (some of the files failed), then I did it manually. The chatroom worked for a second and then I got this error:
/usr42/home/cary22/public_html/cgi-bin/ubb/ubb_chat.cgi did not return a true value at /usr42/home/cary22/public_html/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi line 377.

I have the PMInfo hack installed..that may have something to do with it?
[ June 21, 2001 06:18 PM: Message edited by: TaPaH ]
okay..got my site back..but when I re-did the hack, the chat worked and everything, but the template was back to the regular default template, and my header was gone...but when I re-upped my old ubb_forum_summary.cgi my template came back, but the chat summary had nothing in it...
Can someone recommend a IRC server where I can get a channel setup.
btw I installed the hack and works great. I have left everything to default so #LK will be getting intruders in Channel so please give some links!
HI,
In the conrol panel chat setup just type the name of your channel???
Worked for me.
Viking.
Cool, worked for me also. Thanks.
Now to other question. When it takes me to the chat room it normally tells me that username is registered (for most names) so as the applet says "Some Servers Register" the usernames.
Is there any Server that won't Register the username so that the chat would just take the ones from UBB and go on.
I know if I search for this info on the IRC sites and check with them maybe I can found out but since this hack is so popular here maybe someone has been down this road already

Heres a new one... Been using the hack for week, added no new hacks and all of a sudden when trying to join chat, I get:
"Content-type: text/html
Software error:
/home/3dfiles.com/htdocs/3dboard/ubb_chat.cgi did not return a true value at ultimatebb.cgi line 373.
For help, please send mail to the webmaster (
[email protected]), giving this error message and the time and date of the error."
Im gonna try and rehack this line, but dont know what caused this... Any ideas?
LK Dont wanna take nothink away from your hack its a great one but i dont like to pay for anythink that i can get for free.
so ...
If you replace the applet that is used by the irc chat in ubb-chat.cgi for your own applet that you can get from Multicity, then you have your free chat.
Not only is Multicity free, its also alot faster logging in, and is a hell of alot securer too.
Just my 2 cents.
my board is set up with Multicity chat, i much prefer it.
Multicity also has language translation for all those Foreign members who could never join in before.
To get it to work with Multicity is there anything else that needs to be changed besides whats in
xyz in the ubb_chat.cgi
Thanks Lewi and LK.
Hi, LK, great hack. My Chat was working for about 2 weeks when all of sudden after I installed UBB News 2, I received the following error similar to what some of the other users have gotten:

If you won't do it, you won't be able to see "Date & Time Settings" in the CP.
hmm...i upgraded to ubb 6.05 and was installing all the hacks using Multihack 1.5 all of them worked except when i installed the chat hack...it doesnt show the line "There are XX people in chat Join here." on the main page...any ideas LK?
Thanks alot for all the help
MrQ, did you clean your cache?
Does ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=chat work?
Does it show anything in the forum summary?
Does public_forum_summary.pl include the code?
Does MultiHack give any error?
Or just give me a link
BTW, don't forget that you have to install Who's Online
before.

anyone tried the Chat Mod with the new Whos Online 4.0? i cant friggin get it cause my uncle has the license not me.. this is fuggin retarted
THIS IS ****ING AMAZING MAN!!! THX SOOOOOO MUCH!
Updated to support Who's Online 4.0.
It's important to download the new MHP's if you use it, but in the regular text files you can understand what to do also in the old instructions.
But I suggest you to redownload (and not rehack) JIC...
ok. i've installed this hack and evrything seems to wokr great. but i have noticed a bug that noone has seemed to come across yet. i have reinstalled it 3 times and the same thing is happening.
when i change the style template for the chatroom it changes for the whole board, why is this? i would like to make my chatroom in a separate smaller window, which means a differnt template than the one i'm using but i have to keep the templates the same.
am i missing something or is this something that has been overlooked?
here's my board if you need to see anything -

You're right... It's really weird...
Temporary fix:
Thankz that worked perfectly...
Now your comment was a temp fix... Can i leave that like that or will i need to change something else later?
And one more thing.. For the iframe=on page.. Where can I change the variable for vars_whos_online{inactive_time} in ubb_chat.cgi? I don't see it in the cp file avywhere... I would just like to time this as close as possible to my current who'is settings....
Thanks Again!!
Rava
It's in vars_whos_online.cgi.
It takes the info of after how much time the name is removed from the list, and refreshes then.
It's called "Time until logged out" in the Who's Online Settings page.
About that temp fix, if it works, it can stay.
I called it temp because I may find an idea that looks more like the other ifs there...

duh on my part... i didn't even realize that the variable "vars_whos_online" was a who's online tag.... now i feel stupid.... rotf...
ok, well the patch for the templates worked great and this hack was very easy to install on my 6.04e (minus the headache of the template prob)... thankz for this one!!
and btw... can i use the earth time javascript you have on your test page? I didnt see any credits in it but i have been to the earth time website and didn't see anything there as well. so i would feel better asking than just taking...
thank again for everything!

good hack
but me where can find the hack who show :

What directory of my UBB should I upload the jIRC files?
How can I point to the chat page in my UBB cp?
Thank you.
1. NonCGI
2. What do you mean? If you mean how to change the Chat Mod's settings, take a look at Primary Settings - Chat Settings.
It's tested on 6.05, but it should work anywhere that Who's Online 4.0 does.
WOW!
THis was a VERY quick replay! Thank you.
1. I can't find the line ($ci,$name,$usrnum,$ip,$loc) = split(/|^|/,$online[$i]); in ubb_lib.cgi
I thought it was because of the version of my UBB I'm using (6.04d).
2. Because of that (I think) I don't have the word "Chat" on my "front page" of the Board, so I tried to point at it with /cgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=chat but it just gave me
Undefined subroutine &main::WriteUserSession called at /home/sites/site89/web/secure/cgi/ultimatebb.cgi line 370.
3. I do have Who's On hack 3.9a working on my ubb.
kesha,
It's because of your proxy/cache.
These were the instructions of the
old version, the new one is totally different.
I hope
http://members.nbci.com/lkubb/chat2.zip (a temp zip I put for you) is any better.
Hey LK,
It is working now,
But somehow it completely messed up the look ow the Who's online page. Now Who's Online look WHITE, the way it originally was, even though cp shows that the "Black" template is still assigned to it.
Same about the way chat page looks.
Can I do smtn about it?
I found it.
Somehow the settings for Who's Online and the Chat are controled by the chat settings
I don't mind.
Now I don't have the buttons icons, but I gues I'll find it around.
Another question:
How come I can see some other participants there, who don't belong to my UBB?
Can I do anything about it?
Thank you.
If you can put a bot in the channel, you can make it locked with a key (+k key), and put it in the Channel Name Password of the CP.
The problem is, that everybody can see the password if they look at the source.
The fix to the Who's Online problem is to put:

Hey LK,
I guess I'm kinda slow, but could you please write step by step instructions on how to make my chat un accessable to the members of my board ONLY.
I didn't really understand the stuff about a key.
Thank you.
And how come you have your own LK channel?
I want to have 1 like that , too.
One more thing:
As soon as I choose in cp NOT to have the command bar in my chat, the cha wont start, it shows an error in line 375.
(1) I think (2) is a better solution
(2) Change Channel Name to another channel name, starting with # (like #hello), and register it your nick: /nickserv register password email , then you'll get an email from DALnet. Follow its instructions, and then register your channel: /chanserv register #channel password description (description = what is your UBB about).
(3) You're right... It worked before. Lookin' at it now.
(3) Fixed.
Download the new zip and upload ubb_chat.cgi
hey LK.. how do u put a bot in my channel? have him like stay there the whole time or something? :rolleyes:
ruph: get a unix shell account with background processes, and make an eggdrop or a mbot running on background on the shell.
try
here or
here
im not following?
Great hack, I love it!
Questions do,
* How do you get a Admin
* How do I play the sounds
To play sounds, type /s soundname, or click on the Sound commandbutton.
To add a new sound, put a file called sound_something.au in the noncgi dir, and then /s something
The first one to register a channel (as I explained in the post above) is the main admin, aka the founder. You can add more admins as SOps: /chanserv sop #channel add nick (their nicks should be registered as well), and AOp moderators: /chanserv aop #channel add nick
Ex. main admin: /nickserv register LKRules
[email protected]/chanserv register #LK LKForumsRuleEarth Computing Forum
regular admins: /nickserv register IAmAnAdmin
[email protected]main admin to sop regular admin: /chanserv sop #LK add Admin5
any admin to aop moderator: /chanserv aop #LK add Moderator
The founder should type /chanserv help set, and use any set commands he/she thinks it fits.
Ex. /chanserv help set, /chanserv help set keeptopic, /chanserv set #LK keeptopic on

But there's one little mistake:
Every time i disable the "Show command buttons" Option in the cp i get
can you fix it?
Greets, Stefan
Freestyle, I think I fixed it already.
Get a new ZIP file and upload ubb_chat.cgi again.

It shows a user a messagebox when he/she enters forum summary or forum page.
it gets better and better..lol I was a admin do and when I left and came back in I am no admin anymore, how can I become a admin again?
Can you please enter my chatroom or UBBDev's chatroom?
Sorry, LK, i've updated the file ubb_chat.cgi but it isn't working.

You don't haaaaave to have Who's Online.
You have to do some changes in almost any public .cgi this hack changes, and also ubb_chat.cgi.

Hey LK,
Where should I change the channel name (to smntn like #hello) to register my own channel? In the cp or when the chat starts, or where?
Thank you.
Change it in the CP, it's called "Channel #1 (default) Name"
Look at the explanation above about how to register. If you can't understand, enter my/UBBDev's chatroom.

Now it works. Thanks, LK!!
So instead of putting
$ThatHTML =~ s//$invitehtml/;
below
$ThisHTML =~ s//$replace/g;
put it above print "$ThisHTML"; ? I'm not sure really what i should change . . . any help?
Hey LK,
1. The link to your file is down.
2. I was trying to contact you on your sites chat, your name was there, but you were probably in bed
.
The only thing I want to find out where can I register my channel.
This is your quote:"and register it your nick: /nickserv register password email , then you'll get an email from DALnet."
I tried dalnet.com, nikser.com - didn't look like the right places to me
3. Is the invitation to download the chat plugin suppose to pop up EVERY time after I reboot my computer? Shouldn't it be installed just once?
Thank you.
You can use any irc server like irc.fdf.net, but you have to have a registered nickname in order to register your chat room . . .
1. Not now.
2. Type it inside the applet.
3. What do you mean?
With the new UBB_CHAT file I can ged rid of the buttons on the bottom, but the chat applet starts MUCH slower. It takes about 10 seconds to start. (WITH the buttons it starts immediately.)
Should I upload any other files from the new file besides ubb_chat?
Hey dizturbd,
How can I register my nicname?
Thank you.
kesha,
1. Maybe you're right, I used "return true" and maybe it slows something...
2.
[*]To register your nick, inside the applet type:
/nickserv register password email
Ex. /nickserv register LKRules [email protected]
[*]Then you'll get an email, follow its instructions.
Ex. /nickserv auth LK 15457512487
[*]Now, register your channel:
/chanserv register #channel password forum's description
Ex. /chanserv register #LK LKForumsAreTheBest Computing Forums.
[*]Tell all other admins & moderators to also register.
[*]To Admins, type /chanserv sop #channel add nick
Ex. /chanserv sop #LK add TheDude
[*]To Moderators, type /chanserv aop #channel add nick
Ex. /chanserv aop #LK add kesha1
NOTE: don't forget your passwords, and they're case sensitive. To op yourself later, type:
[*]/nickserv idenify password
Ex. /nickserv identify LKRules
[*]/chanserv op #channel yournick
Ex. /chanserv op #LK LK
To have access to SOp/AOp/etc, type:
/chanserv identify #channel password

Thanx LK.

Colt, I know about this error and have no idea why is it caused.
Now I'm betatesting another version which will probably work.
OK, I think I fixed it, and I added an option to disable invitiations.
Get the ZIP file again.
Upload: ubb_chat.cgi, cp_chat.cgi, cp_vars_chat.pl.
Rehack: ubb_forum_summary.cgi, ultimatebb.cgi
Then set if you want invitations or not through the CP.
Where inside of applet?
Just when it starts?
It has 5 fields where I can type:
Nicname, Servername, Channel, Servername and Serverport.
Which one of them?
I meant after you are connected, type it in the message field.
Well, the new update to the ubb_chat.cgi really helped. It does seem that it was taking off the Code Buttons which generated the error, but no more!
Working perfectly on my side of the 'net. Great hack LK
OK, Where do I get nickserv register password email?
Is it something that should be given to me by somebody or I should choose it myself?
Nevermind i found my problem! Tihs hack rules

kesha: you should type it. Then you'll get an email from DALnet, and type what this email tells you to.
I still don't get it.
I typed "nickserv register password email" in my chat, and it was just printed in the chat
May be you mean I should type some password that I've gotten from them before? I never contacted them yet.
Lk do you know a server that will allow for me to run an egg drop(bot) for my chat room?
Some DALnet servers accept eggdrops on a shell.
If you don't have a shell, you can run your own IRCd (
https://www.ubbdev.com/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=11&t=000196 ), or use very small networks that accept anyone just to make their record bigger

Okay the hack was working fine the other day, now when you goto the ultimatbb.cgi it has the chat part but there is no text (0 people are in the chat room right now <=== that kind) Ahhhhh i don't know how to fix this i even re-uploaded the files a few times. . .
colt, try to rehack ubb_forum_summary.cgi. As usual, remember that it doesn't count you and yada yada yada.
Also, a URL can't hurt..
Ty i fixed it, do you know any places where i can get a shell account at?Ty again, i love your hack in a str8 kinda way
Join #shell in DALnet, but they aren't free...
Another minor release.
Added support to DPK's smiliemod. Read more about it in the CP - Chat Settings.
Upload: cp_vars_chat.pl, cp_chat.cgi, ubb_chat.cgi, and then choose if you want it or not through the CP.
i found a few sites that offer free shell accounts and can run egg drops and stuff
http://www.iprotection.com/ that's only one of them . . .
UNder this part in the control panel
Total Channels to Allow
Total number of channels name webmaster can supply for users to select from the drop down list. See also TotalServersAllow.
when you select 2 or more there aren't any boxes to add these channels?
Yeah, I know...
Right now, if you want two channels, in ubb_chat.cgi, after
put
.
New version released.
In the SmilieMod version, I accidently used the old ubb_chat.cgi, so it wouldn't remove the invitation icon and will have an error if you choose to not have commandbuttons.
The newer version fixes that, and also adds 8 servers and 8 channels support. If they're empty in the CP, they won't be used in the HTML.
Upload: ubb_chat.cgi, cp_chat.cgi, cp_vars_chat.pl.
Good job
I have seen some questions on how to make ones own channel for the chat mod.
As someone already mentioned, you can register a channel on DalNet, undernet, EFNet and so on.
But you can also set up your own ircserver, running either on your own windows/unix machine, or you can put the server on a shellaccount.
The best ircserver today, is the
Unreal 3.1.2-Darkshades It is made both for unix/linux and Windows.
It is very well documented, and you can get all the support you need to set it up at
#unrealircd channel on irc.ircsystems.net
If you want services, like ChanServ, NickServ, MemoServ e.g. you can set up the
IRCServices v4.5.20 and link it to your UnrealIRCD server.
Support for this is given at
#ircdservices channel on irc.ircsystems.net
ALL of this software and support are FREE!!
If you are not able to run this on your own machine, the UnrealIRCD folks recommend the shell service at
ice-fox Hope this can be of some help to make it more fun and useful to install the great chatmod
BTW, too bad html is not enabled, course the code above you can use on your website to make your ircclient start, and connect just by clicking on the link

https://www.ubbdev.com/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=20&t=000296&p=6#000137 I have the calendar and the chat and both work fine with the mod listed on the above link with 6.04e... see for yourself, by clicking

LOL, that's why I said it's temporary...
BTW, I like your design (NET, chat links, chat commandbuttons)
LK, thanks for the fix
dj_rava hello
How did you do that bookmarking in your reply to LK...where do you get that info?
Good idea, I might integrate it with the next version
BTW, most ChanServ commands (topic, kick, kickban, ban, clearban...) won't work in regular networks.
Done... Reupload ubb_chat.cgi, cp_vars_chat.pl and many GIFs
ZIP file updated again, now it really is 100% wordletized (added Wordletsâ„¢ in commandbuttons).
Rehack vars_wordlets_mods.cgi, upload ubb_chat.cgi.
I don't get it; whats the point of having a chat room if you have a forum ; its almost the same thing...
... but hey, im not arguing...
Hey LK,
I am having quite a bit of problems with the chat, it appears to of installed correctly as I get no errors on the pages and forum, and even see the Chat option in the CP, but I cant see a link at all to the chat
Any idea?
Actually, I don't agree... "live" chat and discussion forums are quite different. In the case of chat, the interaction is spontaneous and the participation and sharing of the knowledge is limited to those who happen to be present at the moment. With discussion forums, the information is there for all to appreciate at their convenience.
One of the sites we run is a blues music portal with a modified 6.x UBB and several of our members have
voiced their opinion in favour of a chat service. The dilemna is twofold; 1) finding a suitable chat application that integrates well with the UBB user base - such as this hack and 2) finding a way to organize chats with client base that is truly global.
The other important concern is that our clients will miss out on the information being shared by people who happen to be in the room.
The beauty of a UBB is that the topics are there on demand - space considerations notwithstanding, a visitor can benefit froma discussion days or weeks after the original posting...
This chat hack looks promising, and we will most likely integrate it once it is closer to final.
LK,
FYI, this mod works fine with Whos Online 3.8Q
LK,
Thanks for a great hack!
But now I want to get greedy and add drop down menus for actions and sounds.
I can add the menus, just can't get them to work!
Can you help?

I installed this on 6.04, and the Multihack went fine. It works perfectly.....except for one minor thing. It killed my WOL 4.0.
Not only is the WOL gone from the pages, it's gone from the CP. I tried this on my test board against a 1 hour old backup of my live board.....3 times, 3 different backups.
Am I missing some obvious step?

Could it be something of this type of error?
If you have the whosonline stuff underneath you can get the same type of error
Xpert, The problem is that you didn't copy the new files (after hacking Who's Online) from MultiHack's output directory to MultiHack's source directory, so it hacked from the backups.
I suggest you to install Who's Online again, then copy from output directory to source directory, then Chat Mod again, then do the same thing.
If you don't want to do it anytime, you can choose in MultiHack's options window "Search output directory first".
Hope it helped
Bandit, You have to hack the HTML manually, or put it in the header/footer (but then it won't be where it should).
I knew that, but I seem to have a brain cloud lately...thanks, I'll give that a shot. Thank god for a local developement server..
Well, I tried it again, and as soon as I finich, and upload the files from the output folder, I lose the WOL, and it disappears from the CP. I checked cp_common.pl and it's fine. It also gives me a runtime error in IE 6.0
I'm not in a hurry on this one, so I'll tinker with it some more. Funny thing is, it's probably partially caused by the clocks that I added to the WOL table, even though they are totally contained inside of an existing table and shouldn't cause any havok..
I know what your problem is, it's because of what I said before.
Know what, just check "Check output directory first" option in MultiHack's options, then REMOVE the output dir and install Who's Online and Chat Mod.
I did exactly as you said, but I still get the same error. I'm going to uninstall some of the hacks I've done myself and see if one of them is interfering. I think it has something to do with the clocks...you can see it here..
www.netwerkin.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi
Know what, download the UBB from your server to a temporary directory, hack Chat Mod manually and try again
I have the UBB (a backup)on a 2K advanced server on my network at home, and I'll give that a shot. Thanks for your timely replys!

LK, I have something strange happening on my chatmod too.
I have the
Dynamic-FX Slide-In Menu (v 6.5) installed all over the UBB, also on the Chat page.
The strange thing is that the slide in menu slide out BEHIND the chatapplet instead of in FRONT of it.
Also there is something strange happening with the wording from nickserv inside the chatapplet.
Specialy the centense "/msg NickServ IDENTIFY password Otherwise," is totaly messed up.
I have checked that this is not happening if I log on to the server using mIRC, so I guess it must be a bug in the applet or something similar.
Have a look at this
Are there something to be done to fix this two issues?
[ July 19, 2001 12:45 PM: Message edited by: kaukagaul ]
kaukagaul,
The first bug occurs in all javas.
In the chat mod, the syntax is /nickserv identify
, so maybe yours doesn't support the alias /nickserv. To fix it, in the CP - Alias, type /nickserv=/msg nickserv
hmm...about the first bug...how can it be that the problem isnt appearing on the forum summary and categories pages?
I mean, it goes in FRONT of the News Fader as it should.?
Hmm... That's weird, the original News Fader (by DHTMLab) hided my menus... Maybe there is a switch somewhere I don't know about.
LK,
This might sound stupid and I probably did overlook something, but here's my prob: I did everything above. My name is registered. Now, when I try to register the channel it says 'not op of channel' (or something) and when I try to appoint myself as op it says 'channel not registered' So I'm going in circles.
Thanks for this great hack, btw! It works great with my board so far!
How about making this hack compatible with the 'Category Only' UBB display like Tovok's Statistic hack is?
Or allowing it to show up at the top of Forum and Topic listing pages?
Good ideas
In only categories mode:

ZIP File updated with the changes mentioned above, and two changes in ubb_chat.cgi (the topic is now $vars_config{BBName} : $vars_wordlets_mods{chat}, and GuestXXXXX is really randomized, unlike before).
Do you have a demo for the new 'Cat Specific' layout so I can give it a peek?
Nope, but it's just like the statistics hack
LK,
Thanks for your help! I did manage to get everything in order.
I did some modifying of my own and managed to get the chat link displayed on the top of the tables instead of the bottom. I also got the chat link on the top of my forum pages. This is useful if someone gets an invite and is on a forum page.
You can take a look if you want @
http://tattlerboard.cjb.net however, my server has been acting funny
Thanks again for a great mod!
LK, the multihack link isnt working...can you do something about that, thought I should go for that one
That one worked, thanks a lot LK
Any way to modify this for IRC channels?
Thats mostly where I yack..
Or just link it to irc channel maybe?
LK , thanks for multihack
It installed perfectly in 1/100 of a secund without problems, and now working great.

That is EXACTLY what this hack does
Connects you to an IRC server of your choise, and an IRC channel of your choise.
The mod will not work at all, if you dont connect it to an IRC server.

Hey LK, do you know how difficult it might be to port this to digichat? The work was done (kinda, not nearly this nice) for v5 here:
http://support.digi-net.com/support/showthread.php?threadid=211 I know someone willing to pay for an hour or 2 of work if it's possible
LK,
I've noticed a couple of bugs/problems with your hack, use my forum to see:
http://www.ispreview.co.uk/cgi-bin/ubb2/ultimatebb.cgi 1) The '?' instructions page seems to be outputting the text incorrectly, it also doesn't format well for differen't styles.
2) The "Who's Online" integration doesn't work, in fact I've never seen it work on other forums using it. This morning we had 8 people using it as a test through the forum and they sat there for 20 mins, still kept saying 'no one'.
I went to one of the mods forums to test it as well, same problem and yes the latest WOL is installed (v4.0.1 [6.04e]).
Allen, it's pretty easy, but when I try it it says I don't have the ID or something, so I can't really test it.
Mark,
1) In the next version (for 6.1) you'll be able to choose its height/width.
2) I tested it in your board using my clone, and it showed it just fine. Don't forget it won't include yourself, any user that isn't using jIRC or anyone that opens a new window after the chat in the last 10 minutes
If it won't include myself then if there's me and another online that'd = 1. Any way to fix this?
It won't include yourself because if you enter the main page to check it, you'll be "Viewing: Main Page" instead of "Chatting".
Muchas gracias LK, I'll pm you with the site ftp and digichat details.. he's real interested in getting this to work... if it takes a couple hours he doesn't mind. It would be nice to make this work for jpilot or digichat
right now he's using 6.05... I imagine he plans to move to 6.1 once it's released and the few other modifications he has installed is stable. As long as you working on it, I am sure he'll be fine with 6.1
I'll send you the details in a min for for access.
What version of Jpilot does this use? Is it the newest, which I beleive is 2.5.1
Thx
2.5.1

Cannot get this hack.

I was able to connect from that link, worked great!
LK:
I want to add this hack to my ubb at
http://www.pokemon-trading-cards.net/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi asap, however I have 1 problem.
My site is using the COPPA check for registrations etc.. and I have a LOT of underage members.
I would like to set up the chat room to only allow registered members (who are currently logged in AND has posting provledges set to ON) access to the chat room.
anyone not logged in must be prevented from entering the chat room. If a 9 year old cant post messages yet he shouldnt be able to chat either. Also, if we remove posting privledges from a member, it should block access to the chat room as well.
I saw 1 person ask about this but in the 19 pages of responses here but I never saw an answer.
If these features are not already included in your hack, I would be happy to discuss a special mod just for me if the $$ is right.
In ubb_chat.cgi, before the FIRST line, put:
the hack installed great on my ubb 6.05
http://www.pokemon-trading-cards.net/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=chat username and password : test
Thanks SO MUCH for the hack, and more importantly, your speedy reply with help!
LK,
The chat mod is working great, and I only have one problem:
I have the COPPA checks in place and require underage children to either mail or fax in a signed permission form to be able to post messages. Im sure you know these accounts are set with posting privledges set to Off by default.
With the code above, it does require that you are logged in to the site, however it does not do any sort of check to see if the user's posting privledges are set to off.
The whole idea of the COPPA regulations is to prevent underage children from revealing personal information to the public... so if they cant post messages in a public forum then they certainly cant have access to a public chat room. Anyone using the COPPA checks for legal protection are at risk using this chat.
As it is now, I can remove posting privledges on a user, remove their ability to send PM's and alter their profile, but there is no way to prevent them from entering the chatroom.
Have a couple of problems LK so bare with me.
1) You can't see everyone else. Only yourself.
2) Added my registered number, but still showing the unregistered message.
3) Above where the smilies are at, have a broken image to the non-cgi folder. I can't figure out what is causing this. Also the smilies are linked to the wrong ones.
4) Will everyone on my board be able to use their UBB username for this or do they have to reregister?
5) What are the commands to make Admins/Mods and what is the difference that both can do?
My priority is really getting this to work where everyone can see each other and able to read their messages. Plus that registration removed. I added the number, but it still shows it. Yes I did clear the cache as well.
http://198.76.30.38/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=chat Help if you can LK. Thanks.
webwolfe: try:
Terminator:
1. That means they surfed to another place after they entered the chatroom, or they're not connected through mIRC.
2. The jPilot license key?
3. If you have DPK's SmilieMod copy the smilies to /noncgi. If not, no idea.
4. They can use it unless someone else registered it in the server, but I suggest them to register it (/nickserv register password email,
not the UBB password).
5. The main admin should register the channel (register your nick as explained in #4 and then /chanserv register #channel password description), sop (/chanserv sop #channel add nick) other admins and aop (/chanserv aop #channel add nick) moderators.
All of them have to have registered nicks.

The jIRC license I figured it out. Registered it to my redirect URL address instead of the IP address of the server. Duh!!
Also the smilies don't work with what you said. It didn't correct the problem. All well, no big deal.
For the #1 question, how do I correct that? Is it something in the Chat Settings I have to do? I left it at default.
As for making my own channel, is their some requirements for that?
Ok LK. Everything is working now and I fixed the smilies problem.
You will get a broken image link IF you add more then one charector space between the image file names in the Chat Settings in CP.
One last problem to solve. I don't know how to make a channel. Not register, but make it. It says I need to admin a channel first.
Can you tell me how to do that and if I can't, is their another way to set Admins/Mods?
Thanks LK.
I think it means the channel is already registered, try another name (like if your board is called Destiny's Capital and #destinyscapital is taken, you can use #destinycapital, #destinys-capital, etc).
Looks like a great hack, but could you reupload the zip file please? It seems to be corrupt, and I need it as I can't get Multihack to install. Cheers.
It works fine here

It definitely won't open in WinZip for me, but I just tried Winrar and that extracted 17 .class files.
Edit to say: Got it now! What was happening was your server was cutting me off when I got 150k of the file for some reason, so I used GetRight to resume the download and get the last bit of the file.
Now that I am installing it though, I have another problem :)

Great mod, although I'm not convinced that it's working properly with Who's Online. I got a mate to go in the chatroom and it showed "1 person in the chatroom" but a couple of minutes later this seemed to have vanished.
Is there any way of adding my own .au sounds? I did try uploading one but it didn't seem to work.

Does your hack work with 6.1?

Hi,
could so please send me the evaluation reg key? From the original file?
And the user name?
I tried a keymaker, but they regognized it
Thanx,
Schrapnell
You have to buy it, with how you spell it, M-O-N-E-Y :rolleyes:
Well yes, I know it.
But I want to use the evaluation license which was included with the original file.
Could you please post THAT eval license please? I overwrote it with my fake key and now I cant use the aplet any more.
Thanx,
Schrapnell
There isn't a license key for the evalution version, I don't see any reason it won't work.
What's your board's url?
I found the key.
Thanks.
Schrapnell
[ 10-22-2001: Message edited by: Schrapnell ]
Hmm.. Why do I have the feeling it's the license key?
Hi again,
perhabs I do not understand the method of this license.
I thought that if I use the evaluation license (which shows the two lines "Unregistered etc.." in each posting), I can use it unlimited. I see the two lines, but that is my problem.
If I don't want to see those two lines any more I register. Am I right?
You see, for me it is so far ok to see the two lines for a time. I want to check if my users accept the chat or not.
But although the evaluation copy lines appear, the aplet shows me:
when I want to log on. Try it under
http://forum.leo-clubs.de Yesterday evening and this morning for aprox. 2 hours the aplet worked fine (with the evaluation lines), but suddenly it showed me the above line.
Does the author of the aplet remarque that I use it (perhaps too often??) and closes my domain? Is that possible?
Or a kind of database at jpilot.com which checks live and online the domains who are using the aplet?
Can you help me please?
Schrapnell
[ 10-23-2001: Message edited by: Schrapnell ]
Oh, I thought you meant something else
It's not the applet that is doing that, it's DALnet.
Make sure you typed in a username, and if it still doesn't help maybe DALnet blocked your ISP.
In the CP, try to use irc.webchat.org instead of the DALnet servers.
OK, THAT prob is solved! Thank you!!
But have a look on this:
You see? The two names normally should be in 2 different colored lines.
Just for your information...

LK,
The mod has been working GREAT! Thanks again for all the work you have put in to it.
You know my site is large (16,000+ members) and they have identified 1 bug that I cannot fix.
Users are complaining that they are getting chat invite popups that do not show the person who sent the invite. It says "Invite From: " (just blank)
I am able to duplicate this by logging in as admin and sending an invite to anyone... everyone I send to gets a blank invite popup.
However many other members are able to send invites with no troubles.
Also, A few times I have went to the site and logged in, and then immediately get a blank invite popup... I dont see how anyone could have sent me an invite when I wasnt logged in. What happens if someone invites me to chat and I log off or close the browser window before I get the popup?
You can see an active discussion of this bug from the members who are reporting it
here
webwolfe: I have no idea, but if someone is exploting it, you should just disable the invitation feature from the CP...
its not being exploited.
every time i send an invite to members it is blank. This is an easily duplicated bug, not somone exploiting the invite button.
Members have been complaining of this bug since the day i installed the chat
I have no idea what's causing it, but try the 6.1.0 code:
it fixed my bug.
now when I invite myself I do not get a blank invite!
I am going to let every one know to keep an eye out. Thanks once again for the speedy replies!
HI LK!
Thks for the awesome hack as many of the users who are helping me test it enjoys it. I only have a question in regards to the sound. Although I have it enabled and uploaded the .au files, how do I get them to work?
THANKS!
PrimeTime
This hack is fantastic... I just have a question.
When I installed Who's Online 4.1, I was given special instructions if I wanted the "Who's Online" to appear at the top like a categoy...
The "ChatRoom Catgory" is displayed at the bottom... What do I have to edit to have it at the top ??, just under my who's online.
I'm French, so please excuse my English.
Regards,
Cedric SIROT.
I have got it installed and working right but I am not sure if I understand the irc correctly.
The chat takes the username from the board and you are logged on to chat with it. Most of the usernames are already registered by someone else at Dalnet (or will be with most servers) so unless I am using my own IRC server users will be prompted to change the username.
I had first thought usernames are unique per channel only but I guess I was wrong they are per Server.
Is it possible to add some code where it will add a random number at the end of the username like it is adding at the end of the Guest?. The users at my board would be confused by messages prompting them to change their names.
This way atleast the users may not have the change the name and with Who's online people know who is in there anyways.
Thanks for the great hack... :-)
