CGI:IRC

This is a Drupal injection of the CGI:IRC php code found on cgiirc.org. This project was created for Drupal so users could access IRC chat behind a firewall. Most offices and other networks block common ports used for IRC and many other applications. This script is run from the server instead of the end user thus bypassing the issue with blocked ports. Input data is fully customizable from the back end if needed, and then passes through to the script which is running in an IFrame.

On a side note it by default passes the user's user name through to the script with an amended "_" attached to help prevent any name conflicts once in IRC. Default data on there will direct you to the channel this was created originally for so any questions can be directed there. Please note if you are trying to use the demo it requires that you sign up :) Current non Drupal examples of this running can be found at http://www.ircatwork.com/

If you require further help feel free to contact me at fr0ll0@hotmail.com

we have moved on to using mibbit inside an iframe the layout looks better and it is a bit more user friendly. I intend to put it into a java popup to separate from the rest of the site so users can browse and chat without issue. Since we are using mibbit and not the cgi:irc script this project is basically dead. please feel free to contact with any questions.
