Webchat now available in the navigation bar
« on: October 10, 2011, 06:08:13 pm »
While we are waiting after Netham45 rewriting OmnomIRC, alberthrocks (who have his server linked to our IRC network OmniNet) set us up a webchat so you can access IRC and chat with us even behind the most restrictive firewalls, like you used to do while OmnomIRC was up.

You can already notice a new link in the navigation bar below the Omnimaga logo (which will fill your username in for you and is integrated in the website) or you can access it on http://webchat.omnimaga.org/.

I like. And this one's a real IRC client :o

It's not as easy-to-use as Omnom was because it's not there on every page, but on the other hand pages load faster now :D

I found the critical error in the IRC D:

Why is Netham45's name not pink!
Sig wipe!

Looks pink to me.....

Also, I know of firewalls that could block omnom. They just blocked omni altogether :P

Yay!  It's great to have an alternative.  Unfortunately, there aren't as many people using it, sot it's much quieter.  :\

EDIT: Hey, this post is in the right topic now.  :P

It's a good thing that they probably don't block withg too, which is where the webchat is hosted :D

You might want to check for cross-browser compatibility, because this feature doesn't work in Opera. Instead it just gives a weird nick with random chars. Otherwise that seems nice.

Are you on the page http://www.omnimaga.org/index.php?action=ezportal;sa=page;p=24 ? The one hosted on webchat.omnimaga.org can't access your account info.

It saves your last used nick in a cookie, so if you used webchat.omnimaga.org first and it gave you a random nick and you signed in, p=24 would remember it.

I've did some independent tests myself at school (PortableApps ftw), and found no such issues. (I rarely use Opera, btw, so this was the first time it was exposed to the WebIRC. :P)
See the images below:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1016340/PublicPictures/WebIRCOpera/WebIRCOperaVersion.PNG

The version I used was 11.51, which seems to be the latest. I would suggest clearing your cache (and possibly cookies), then trying again. Hopefully it'll work this time :)

(And yes, that is CSI work you're seeing. Ironic, eh? :P)

Oh wait it saves the IRC nick, not the forum one, I thought it was supposed to automatically choose my nick from the forum one ???. That explains why I thought it wasn't working then ???
