You can run pjirc chat stand alone, or integrate it with vBulletin. Here is how to integrate it with vBulletin. This is the simple version, no custom files, no source code modifications, and only the need to add a new template.

Add a new custom template

Admin Control Panel > Styles & Templates > Styles Manager > dropdown: Add a new template. Name it chat, prefix it with custom_ so the misc.php file can use it:

custom_chat
Use the following code :

$stylevar[htmldoctype]
<html dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]">
<head>
$headinclude
<title>$vboptions[bbtitle]</title>
</head>
<body>
$header
$navbar

<center>

Change the value #vbfans in the following line to your own chat channel:
<param name="command1" value="/join #vBfans">

Now do the same for this line, replacing it with your own chat channel:
<h2>Live IRC Java Chat on irc.vBulletin-Chat.com, port 6667, channel #vBFans</h2><hr />

And then save the template.

Now, get the pjirc files and upload them to your forum directory. Make sure that you are not uploading any index.html file.

Now use your web-browser and go to

http://<domain>/misc.php?do=page&template=chat

And change the domain to your own.

Great thread, thank you Floris. I have a mod installed similar to this called javachat. However, I'm needing to have a custom skin for my chat and your solution looks easier in that regard. However, I'm not really thrilled with the idea of copying my pjirc files directly into my forum directory. Would it be possible to copy them into a subdirectory? If so, what would I need to change, just the path to the script or would it not work?
