How to "join" an IRC chatroom

Openfire Plugins Kraken - IM Gateway
1

Hi All,

First of all, great work on the gateway plugin. I use msn, yahoo and ICQ and so far it’'s looking great!

Secondly, I’'ve been able to join an IRC chat room using a “join #room” when communicating with the IRC Transport, but I was wondering if there was another way: eg joining a conference room, or adding a contact?

Thanks,

Trev

=D Wow, you know i didn’'t actually expect anyone to try joining a chatroom using the “command line” interface so to speak! Anyway, GATE-12 refers to the eventual support for groupchat/muc. For now, there is no support for that. =/ Adding a contact is only really half done. I created an issue for it: GATE-126 in case you want to track it.

Groovy. I’'ll track both of them.

IRC is not a biggy for me, but to have it all in one client is a beautiful dream

Keep up the good work.

Wow, this is weird. I tried doing a join #roomname on efnet this morning to a couple rooms even before i saw this post :).

I also joined from another client to watch what went on with the transport session.

I noticed that my transport user was listed in the channel. So that was good.

I noticed that any conversations within the channel became private conversations in a tab in the irc window to my transport person. So if person XX said “hi” it became a “hi” in a private message back to my transport person. I could then type in “this is a test” and the person XX would get that message in their private msg window.

Just some early observations.

Client used was Miranda.

See ya.

Groupchat (joining IRC chatrooms and other protocols) is not supported yet. See GATE-12. The join #room was just sort of a sneaky way to get around it by speaking the actual IRC protocol. Not something I would recommend doing “for real”.
