My friend that manages the IRC server I use, and I were just talking last night about trying to possibly setup some checks in the database tables that would require someone to login with their forum name and password before the java applet would load (I use pjirc right now). And then possibly once thats done automatically have their IRC friendly username and password registered via NickServ via some small script. Require that to be done for anyone to join the server. Would cut out a lot of the idiots and trouble makers that come in ours. Sounds like thats pretty much exactly what you guys are working on, which would be awesome. I'll even toss a few bucks your way when its done to help out because I'd love to see something with that kind of implementation on my site.

That's something like what we're doing. EzIRC does allow you to change your name via IRC Options, things like that, but it's currently lacking an authentication method. eg nickserv authentication. hmmm I have plans. but for now, off to backport this mod to 3.x

was easy to install, thanks. my first mod
There isnt a way to retain forum usernames and passwords when you log in?
my friend has that option on his vbulletin site, using mibbit to connect.

You can use your username when you login, but this modification allows users to use their own nicknames. When you click on the Live Chat or IRC Chat tab (I forget which is default) there is another option under neath of it (when you're on the page) that says IRC Options. This allows users to specify a nickname of their choice, which is autoformatted to fit IRC standards.

It is possible, but is currently not built in. I'll do that for the next release.

Thank u very much

toonysnn, is there any way you can alter this?

To connect to IRC manually, open your favorite irc client and type: /server webirc.gamesurge.net:6007 .. and once that's completed, type /join .. or click here.

Problem here is that mibbit blocks GameSurge users using the normal irc.gamesurge.net server, hence the need for webirc.. But it seems the whole plugin takes over that server and uses it everywhere on the page. I only wish to use the webirc for mibbit, and the URL irc:// connect should use a different server link including the java link.

I also found an issue with this plugin.. At the GameSurge server, using the channel name in the AdminCP:

#ESF

gives me the error for mibbit:

No server tab, and no channel specified.

And when I use it without # it says unvalid channel to join.

Hello,

in the 3.7 version of this Mod, it was possible to use the Membername for the Chat. I want ask if it will be planned to implement this again?

Maybe it would be also a nice idea to give the User the Possibility to set his Username and (if used) Nickserv password by itself into his own settings.

Thnx for the answer.

Greetings
Hans
