I am looking for a simple way to have my users connect to our irc server and channel (especially those not familiar with IRC) through our website. I have run across several apps out there like jIRC and JWIRC, but both of those want fees which I would not mind paying on down the road, but during initial implementation, I would like some free to test/play with. Anyone got any good ideas on an IRC server side client that could be used with Snitz?
Thanks,
SVX

| Thanks. Any ideas on a good one to start with? The cookie deal is neat sounding. |

I ran across this one http://www.jwirc.com that seems to offer many more options and the cost is actually cheaper. I will play with them some.
Thanks for the replies. |

I used to use jirc, it's nice but it lacks some major features:
multi channel,
copy paste,
better asian language support, (I have proble of line breaking)
ddc, if you need it.
the new version of jwirc looks nice, will play more on it.

Ok, I loaded jwirc but or some reason my java applet will not load on my test page at www.isv-knights.org/isvkirc.asp when I include my header and footer. Here is what I did to test this with ASP.
I took the chat_with_comments.html page and updated all the server information and then added these lines to the top:
<!--#INCLUDE FILE="config.asp"-->
<!--#INCLUDE FILE="inc_header.asp" -->
and this line to the bottom:
<!--#INCLUDE FILE="inc_footer.asp" -->
Those lines include my header and footer for all pages on my website so I did not do any modifying of them before I included them. Once I added those lines of code I resaved the file as isvkirc.asp. The page loads, but then the applet/irc panel does not. I then put the chat_with_comments.html page on the site to see if it was also affected and it was not. It worked as it should have as you can see here: www.isv-knights.org/chat_with_comments.html .
Am I missing something here? I also posted on the jwirc forum to see if anyone there could help.
btw - Jirc works like a charm, but I prefer jwirc because of its rich feature set. You can see my jirc demo at www.isv-knights.org/isvkjirc.asp
Any help would be appreciated.

change height="100%" to height="heightinpixel"
and I think you'll see it.
I'm playing with it now too. I've registered jirc when the free version of jwirc was not as good as it is now. the author, jpilot told me jwirc uses new java library which won't load on old browsers while the one used in jirc could, that's why it does not have all the feature of jwirc. I did a test and jwirc won't load in ns4, can't test other old browsers (ie4/5/5.5) as I don't have them.
I like jwirc. It has everything I need except for
auto switch server if can't connect;
hide the input area completely rather than fade it out for irc newbie, low priority though. |

Have you seen how audio-tracker.com does it on their site?
They just imbed the chat from www.mircx.com into a page on their website using an iframe. You pass variables to it like this:
<iframe src="http://www.mircx.com/cgi-bin/jirc.cgi?BorderHsp=0&BorderVsp=0&cabbase=jirc_mss.cab&Channel1=audio-tracker&DisplayAbout=false&ServerName1=irc.zirc.org&ServerPort=6667&RealName=REALNAME&DirectStart=true&TextScreenColor=white&TitleBackgroundColor=lightGray&NickName=NICKNAME" name="chat" width="600" height="400" scrolling="no"></iframe> |

bjlt, that fixed it. Thanx...I did not even think to adjust height settings. Did you also regester on the jwirc forums? Someone had a reply today almost 100% identical to yours here.
Anyway, thanx again. I will be buying the registered version this week.
Check it out at www.isv-knights.org/isvkirc.asp
I will be customizing the colors and backgrounds as well as the servers some more this weekend. |

you are welcome. 
yes that's me asking some question/feature request there.
Guess I'll register one too when my site is ready, if ever.
