flash chat room name issue...Need fix - mIRC Discussion Forums

Hi i have a flash chat room on my site www.tormented.tv/chat.php
However the room name of our channel is #chat18+
I guess forsome reason it ignores the "+" at the end and sends all the users to #chat18 and of course thats just no good lol...
So i have played around with this and cant seem to find a way around it. The admin say i cant do it...but i just dont believe that i cant do anything to get it to work

This is how my chat code looks

Code:

<div id="container">
<div id="html1" style="position:absolute; overflow:hidden; left:40px; top:194px; width:720px; height:601px; z-index:0">
<a id="ewclink" href="http://www.loveyourmyspace.com/"></a><br /><script src="http://www.everywherechat.com/e.php?defaultRoom=chat18+ &roomList=false&fontSize=12&width=720&height=500"></script></div>

try doing the + as %2B in the URL

no idea if it accepts that but + in URL's is normally used to replace spaces (in some encoding methods) which might screw things up.

EDIT: nvm. This isn't a mIRC question is it?

Well i think that it kinda fits...It might not be directly related to the software but really most of these scripts are not. I just simply cannot seem to figure out what needs to be done for me to be able to get my chat working again and i seem to have found out where all the really helpful people are (HERE) so i am trying to get my questions answered...Everywhere else is like aol tech support....worthless

That code didnt work btw.... It says chat18 $ $chr(43) $ in the chat box where it should say #chat18+

It wouldn't because your goal isn't related to mIRC.

I figured you were working with a socket script or something, so the $chr() identifier will not work because all you're trying to do is fix some HTML (which really has nothing to do with mIRC unless it involves sockets).

ok so let me ask you this....Is there a way to use something else? Is there a basic java irc chat script or something that i can choose what server/port and channels to use ? I honestly dont know what to do? Do you think that i will never be able to have this chat room on my site?

Thanks , Not sure im gonna be able to figure that out tho. If anyone can come up with a fix i would greatly apprecate it, Im sure im not the first to have this problem and wont be the last

chat18 $ $chr(43) $

Are you missing the +?

chat18 $+ $chr(43) $+ <...the rest>

yes when i chant the code to use that line like

Code:

 



<script src="http://www.everywherechat.com/e.php?defaultRoom=chat18 $+ $chr(43) $+&roomList=false&fontSize=12&width=720&height=500"></script>

It only shows this in the chat window box that should just say #chat18+
It says
chat18 $ $chr(43) $

and the blank spaces are exactly how it looks

This might be dumb but could a small java script be made to simply place the channel name in that box and then i could leave the channel name in the code blank ?

$+&roomList=false&font

You are missing a space. Let;s see the code that generated this url please.

This is my script with the changed code as told

Code:

 


<div id="container">
<div id="html1" style="position:absolute; overflow:hidden; left:40px; top:194px; width:720px; height:601px; z-index:0">
<a id="ewclink" href="http://www.loveyourmyspace.com/"></a>
<script src="http://www.everywherechat.com/e.php?defaultRoom=chat18 $+ $chr(43) $+&roomList=false&fontSize=12&width=720&height=500"></script></div>

You can see the results of this by going to my chat page on my site and looking at whats listed in the room name area of the login box
I just simply need it to say only " chat18+ "

www.tormented.tv/chat.php

you were answered in the very first response to this post. use %2B instead of + in your url:

http://www.everywherechat.com/e.php?defaultRoom=chat18%2B&roomList=false&fontSize=12&width=720&height=500

This is the result of adding the string you sudgested.

Code:

 


<div id="container">
<div id="html1" style="position:absolute; overflow:hidden; left:40px; top:194px; width:720px; height:601px; z-index:0">
<a id="ewclink" href="http://www.loveyourmyspace.com/"></a><br /><script src="http://www.everywherechat.com/e.php?defaultRoom=chat18%2B&roomList=false&fontSize=12&width=720&height=500"></script></div>

I did try it. the results can be seen on my chat page now...
it simply says chat18 still no + sign

So could someone explain to me any other way to somewhat easily get my irc room back on my site without using this code/chat software? Something else? the one guy posted a link but i just simply dont understand it ..greek to me. Im not a newb but when it comes to decompilers and stuff i really am clueless.
Anything else open source and easy ?

Rename your channel #chat18plus.

lol yeah thats about what the admin on the server said....Its ok i just ended up getting that java chat to work..seems ok i guess. At least i have my chat working again
thanks for all the efforts
