Is it possible to set a welcome message for an individual channel, or do you need a separate module? If so, could someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks

It can be done through your services package (I just assume you use Anope, as I saw you on those forums).

Code: Select all

/cs set #channel entrymsg Message

That shows up fine as long as I use mIRC to access the room. Is it possible to get it to display to users using Webchat as well?

It should display fine to any client that will display notices from another client in the channel. Normal behavior for mIRC is to display notices received from users in the active window, this isn't necessarily normal for every client.

I'm trying to use Chatcore. It might not support it. If anybody here could give me a confirmation, I'd appreciate it.

I'm testing it and I find it doesn't support major things, such things like this.

'Whispers' in their language (notices) will be send WHEN you're having a pm conversation with that person. I also believe that you've got to accept that PM first.

I'd strongly recommend you to use a client like pjirc, it's much more like mIRC. As an addition to that, I use to Chatcore webapp as a way to get around java blocks on the schools' private network.

They need to develope it further: it really needs updates!

I thought about using pjirc, but couldn't stand the interface, and honesty, I had more issues with it than I do with chat core.

Thanks

In that case you've got something some programming so you do like it ^_^. Nah, just kidding.

Perhaps you could also set the welcome message in the upper space which is created for such things. In the configuration it is "Misc" and than search for "Message of the day."

Yeah, I just wanted it separate for each channel, but that's really my only option for now.

Thanks
