Any chance of putting them up there again? Thanks. Extension looks great!

Mibbit ignores a fixed-width wiki
It really makes this extension unusable if you have a wiki which is set ot a fixed or max width. This extension seems to only work at 100% so if you have say a 1200 width wiki and view this extension on a 1900x1200 screen it makes it impossible to use.

This is really annoying. Any work around or way to make the IRC applet a fixed width?

My solution
Look at the end of the file 'WebChat_body.php' You have to comment this line:

/*	'onLoad'   => 'webChatExpand( this )',*/

The you would choose width and height above. Otherwise, try to modify function webChatExpend bellow.

have fun, ZafX

Made a change to page
Someone left a comment at the end of the first paragraph saying that the extension didnt work with freenode. Ive removed that sentence replaced it with what needs done to get it to work with freenode - ie Install it as described taking account of an ambiguity in the instructions where freenode is concerned. Its just the servername thats blank, not the channel too, this must be set to a channel that is already set up on freenode.

timestamp
is there a way to add timestamps to the chat? --gahoo

Username
Is it possible to make usernames always like this: "Wikiname-Username" instead of "Username" ? Thanks, 94.208.4.89 11:58, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Just spent a long time working it out, but yes you can. In "extensions/WebChat/WebChat_body.php", find this line
 * case '$$$nick$$$':
 * if ( $wgUser->isLoggedIn ) $value = str_replace( ' ', '_', $wgUser->getName );
 * and change " $wgUser->getName " to " 'wikname-' . $wgUser->getName "

Is there any way to log these chats?

 * Might be doable by adding an on-wiki config or another global. Not too hard. If you know a little PHP, please give it a try and submit a patch in . siebrand 14:43, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
