Check usage (experimental)

The Mibbit extension adds a special page used to chat in real time with other wiki users using the Mibbit web IRC client. Once installed, it will be available via Special:Mibbit.

This extension has been replaced by Extension:WebChat and will no longer be maintained.

[edit] Installation

  1. Download the extension files and install them as advised.
  2. Add require_once( "extensions/Mibbit/Mibbit.php" ); to LocalSettings.php.

[edit] Configuration

There are several variables to be set in LocalSettings.php, to be added after the line of code containing require_once(...) described above.

// IRC Server to connect to.
$wgMibbitServer  = '';
// Channel to connect to.
$wgMibbitChannel = '';
// Extra parameters for the chat client, see (http://wiki.mibbit.com/index.php/Uri_parameters)
$wgMibbitExtraParameters = array( 'noServerMotd' => 'true' );

The mibbit permission can be used to specify what user groups can access it, by default only logged in users have access.

[edit] Usage

Navigation to Special:Mibbit, adjust your username is desired, then press the connect button.
