Chatmore web-based IRC client

Release 2013-03-15
Github repo: https://github.com/spoulson/Chatmore
Shawn Poulson, http://explodingcoder.com

INTRODUCTION

What does Chatmore do?

  • Chatmore implements the IRC client protocol (RFC 2812) in order to chat in realtime on IRC chat networks.
  • Enables web-based IRC access where installation of a native client is prohibited or inconvenient.
  • User interface is focused on simplistic and functional for ease of use.

What doesn't Chatmore do?

  • Chatmore doesn't make IRC connections from the browser PC. It only talks over HTTP(S) to the hosting web server. The web server maintains the IRC connection.
  • There are no tabs or multiple chat windows. All activity is in one view.
  • Chatmore doesn't do everything because it's not finished. It is under heavy development, so is currently considered alpha grade software.

Why use Chatmore?

  • No end-user client installation. Minimal server requirements.
  • Chatmore aims to be a better web IRC client. At the time of writing, there are few alternatives for self-hosting web-based IRC clients.
  • You want to access IRC networks from anywhere there's a web browser, such as an Internet cafe, while using a computer that you don't own, etc.

Why did you build this with PHP?

  • Other languages could be easier, better, faster, and more gooder. However, half decent PHP web hosting is dirt cheap.

  • Nicknames are given a unique color.
  • Doubleclick a channel or nickname to /join or /query for chatting.

INSTALLATION

# cd src

  • Copy build/* files to a web hosted directory.
  • Customize settings in config.php, if necessary.
  • In a browser, access the directory's associated URL.

USER ACCESS

In a browser, access the hosted URL.

Assuming the installed virtual directory is /chatmore.

Chatmore accepts access URLs in formats:

http://server/chatmore/
View landing page, prompting for connection details.

http://server/chatmore/client.php?server=irc.example.com
http://server/chatmore/client.php?server=irc.example.com&nick=yournick
http://server/chatmore/client.php?server=irc.example.com&nick=yournick#channel
http://server/chatmore/client.php?server=irc.example.com&nick=yournick#channel,#channel2
http://server/chatmore/client.php?server=irc.example.com&port=6667&nick=yournick&realname=yourname#channel

If nick is omitted, use randomly generated nick.
If #channel is provided, join the channel(s) automatically.

These querystring parameters will also work on the index.php landing page to show the values as defaults in the connection form fields.
