LightIRC – a flash IRC client for your website

Mar 11

Posted by khemara in Chat, IRC, KhmerChat, Linux | No Comments

lightIRC is a free Flash IRC client that includes all well known IRC features.
It supports stylesheets for it’s own skins, has support for multiple languages, and can be used with every IRCd.

lightIRC supports channels, queries, a lot of IRC commands, some CTCP commands and is much customizable through StyleSheets. It has multi language support (currently English, Spanish, German, Turkish, Hungarian, Dutch, Swedish, Finnish, Serbian, Estonian, Romanian) and a nice GUI to set kicks, bans and channel modes.
The client uses a socket to connect directly to the IRC server (no XMLSocket, no gateway).

You need flash policy server running at IRCD’s host. Otherwise the lightIRC client can not connect to your IRCD. Here is a link of how to setup a socket policy server: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/socket_policy_files.html

qwebirc – fast, easy to use, free and open source IRC client

Aug 31

Posted by khemara in Chat, IRC, Internet | No Comments

You might already know mibbit which I ever mentioned it before.  Today, I just found one opensource webirc client named qwebirc.

Here are its feature I extracted from its official website:

  • AJAX IRC client.
  • Multiple channels and queries.
  • Nick list menus.
  • Scalability: used by QuakeNet: the world’s largest IRC network.
  • Cross platform (pure Python), so works under Linux, FreeBSD, Windows, and probably more platforms.
  • Embedded webserver, so very little configuration.
  • SSL support.
  • Supports WEBIRC style hostname setting with asynchronous DNS.
  • Optional dedicated message and/or notice windows.
  • Irssi style /msg, query, channel and nickname autocompletion (sorted correctly by last used/spoke order).
  • Completely open source (GPLv2).
  • Ability to offer a direct connection, no third party.
  • Can pass your hostname through directly to the IRC server.
  • Keyboard shortcuts for window selection (alt+a, alt+1..0).
  • Irssi style global input history.
  • Mouse wheel on tabs.
  • UTF-8 support.
  • Clickable channels, links and authnames.
  • mIRC colour/underline/bold support.
  • Minimalistic design with a decent colour scheme.
  • Direct integration into QuakeNet’s secure authing system.
  • No profit motive, so no logging, link hijacking, advertising or data mining whatsoever.
  • Irssi style multiple highlight levels.
  • Wizard to allow users to easily embed the client into their own websites.
It releases under GPLv2.
