Web based client for #okfn IRC channel on irc.oftc.net.

Options:

  • Embed Mibbit in a basic Wordpress site (pro: very easy, con: has ads)
  • Deploy CGI/Java script at irc.okfn.org (pro: clean/customisable, con: takes time)

See this existing trac ticket: http://trac.okfn.org/ticket/379 (irc.okfn.org: IRC web interface for main okfn irc channels)

This is now resolved in that we have moved to freenode and therefore have http://webchat.freenode.net/. Hence resolving this as done (though in form of not having irc.okfn.org but something else).

Resolved, yes, but we could still redirect http://irc.okfn.org to http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=okfn

Good point Nick. We should re-open http://trac.okfn.org/ticket/379 with this point added and then fix (or just fix!)

(22 Nov '11, 13:49) rgrp ♦♦

Just to note, for the record, that this is done, and has been for some time.

http://irc.okfn.org/ redirects to Freenode webchat, and http://irc.okfn.org/channelname redirects to Freenode webchat, preselecting #channelname in addition to #okfn.

For now we can use Mibbit link:

http://widget.mibbit.com/?settings=c7f56097e86bf5d3a1d49ed9b26a19d3&server=irc.oftc.net&channel=%23okfn

Custom bit.ly link:

http://bit.ly/okfn-irc

Here is code to embed this in an iFrame:

<iframe width="550" height="350" src="http://widget.mibbit.com/?settings=c7f56097e86bf5d3a1d49ed9b26a19d3&server=irc.oftc.net&channel=%23okfn"></iframe>

Try setting width="100%" and height="100%" to make the iframe use the whole screen.

One of the best open source web-based IRC clients is Qwebirc which uses Python and Ajax.

Would you be interested in helping set this up Mike?

(24 Mar '11, 20:03) rgrp ♦♦

Also might forward okfn.org/irc okfn.org/chat and chat.okfn.org

http://www.linode.com/irc/ has done quite a nice job re: CGI/Java implementation

The CGI version looks like CGI-IRC

CGI-IRC is probably a better choice than Java because CGI-IRC uses very few resources on the client side and does not require browser extensions.

we can also use jappix widget very easiy to integrate with any page and supporting XMPP which I find in many ways more robust than IRC... I put up a demo while ago here:
