If, when you setup the advertising on the node running the ngIRC server AND you use irc://nodename:6667/mesh and have the advertising provide a link then, with Opera, all you need to do is click on the link provide in the mesh status page. Opera will then automagically bring up its internal IRC client and connect to the #mesh channel/room on 'node-name'. Other browsers can be setup to startup an external program or plugin when clicking on a URL starting with irc: .
If you loaded version 20.2 of my 'ngircd' onto your node then, when it finishes loading, the ngIRC server program will start executing and will be setup to run when the node reboots. |
