RE: Chatbox for ACR forum
As long as you guys can use costume php scripts on the server and have a mysql db over normal http access you can run it, you just can't hook it up to real irc then Smile

EDIT: so it should work as the forum needs that stuff too

Well, it would be better to have IRC integration. Can a JavaScript browser access IRC?

The problem with connecting to irc without a server-side program is that webbrowsers block out port 6667 (irc port) due to security reasons (already tried, lol)
All those websites there listed also use a serverside program which is always running.
but didn't ruler501 say he had a server where he could host stuff? And if not and you absolutley want irc and you can access the mysqldb from your guys externally then i would be ok with running the irc bridge only on my small server.

If you are willing to use it, we would need a webservice like apache or nginx, then we'd need php5-cgi, normal php5 and mysql (python is only needed for a posting-bot)
and it would require a url like chat.forum.acr.victorz.ca to point to your server otherwise many browsers would make it not work due to security issues.

RE: Chatbox for ACR forum
now all we need is a official permission of victor - access to your server - access to the server where the forum is hosted on and some time Smile

RE: Chatbox for ACR forum
Great to see this is working. I hope victor gives you the access. Omnom(the chatbox name) would be great to see on this site.

RE: Chatbox for ACR forum
Is it possible to tell me the installation instructions? Granting access to the web files isn't that easy. I have to add you as a project member on SourceForge. Also, you might need to edit some templates, which are in the admin panel.

Best regards,
