Forums General Discussion ICR Feed to Web Site?

Is this possiable?

Im new to IRC and was see if there was a way to have your channel or a bot feed to your web site and have visitors veiw on your web site.

Thanks for the responce.

This is doable for instance with a Java applett like "pjirc", or via a CGI-IRC script. The Java applet might be easiest.

I would only suggest this if you run your own webserver as then you can skip the uploading part and just script an on *:TEXT: to write to a .txt file like so
<mIRC>$timestamp $+(<,$nick,>) $1-</mirc>

Then on your website you can either just make the user refresh manually and load the maximum lines you want to see in a div using document.getElementsByTagName('mIRC') to reference to all the lines. Reason to do it this way is that you can parse and format the lines properly as suppose to doing it when you /write since this has a 950 or so character limit.

Best method would be to use the getElementsByTagName in conjunction with Javascript timers and XMLHTTP requests to your .txt file and only load in the new lines without page refreshes.

As always im just rambling on and spitting idea's but this is very plausible.

Thanks for replies.

So if I got you right, there is no set program out there now, I would have to peice it together myself, correct?

Im clueless when it comes to this, sry.

Would any1 be will to help me with this?

PJIRC is a website IRC client, use that.

it's ready made so you only would have to follow the instructions on how to install it.

Thanks Doqnach

This is great.

Now I just have to figure out how to get the Undefined Strings fixed.

If all you're after is just making the chat viewable on a page, then that's been done by the makers of the Firefox extension peekko:

Adapting it for your own channel may depend on whether you just want to use your site's channel on their server or not.
