Irc linking

garthv

Ive seen a few sites with links to IRC channels and when you press the link it prompts you to open IRC.
When IRC opens it connects straight to a certain server and joins a certain room,how do you do this?

Chalk

you cant usually do it on baords, but on html its simply

[a href="irc://irc.quakenet.org"]click here[/a]

garthv

how do u set it to open a certain channel?

Chalk

add a forward slash

irc://irc.quakenet.org/boards.ie

To get it to work in Boards, all you need to do is to change the tags.

[a href="irc://irc.quakenet.org/boards.ie"]click here[/a]

ie; change the "a href" tags to "url" tags, and you get a boards.ie version :cool:

[ url="irc://irc.quakenet.org/boards.ie"]click here[/url]

[url="irc://irc.quakenet.org/boards.ie"]click here[/url]

Its fun pushing what you think you can do to the limit. Its what I love doing.

i didnt mean boards.ie,
i meant boards in general

php borads to be exact

In a php board, it'd be

[ url=irc://irc.quakenet.org/boards.ie]click here[/url]

Basically no "" (quotation mark's).
