Passing on values with a post/submit page.

[JC]

Me again.

I've been using CGI:IRC for years (which is getting outdated, not very mobile friendly), and using a simple form for users to enter their nickname, and automatically passing on the rest of the info/string/settings (not sure what it's called) to another server - see http://www.chat27.co.za/connectme/40something_login.php (view source to see what I mean)

Is there a way to do something similar with KiwiIRC, where a user only fills in their nickname, and the server, theme, etc is passed on via post string?

Forgive my ignorance. I'm a designer trying to be more independant of web IRC clients running on other networks' servers - Ubuntu, VPS, putty etc is all VERY new to me :)

Help/input appreciated.

Hi,

Kiwiirc doesn’t support POST for the time being. Would be a nice addition but there’s a bit of work.

You can do what you’re looking for with GET arguments and a plugin on the client side to catch them. By default, kiwiirc already supports « nick », « theme », channels and maybe a few others I dont remember of right now.

Aha! Thanks for the info. Any chance of example files or documentation that would show me how that's done? I'm pushing my luck, I know :)

This would be a complete kiwiirc URL: http://example.com/kiwi/irc.server.com:+6697?nick=prawnsalad&encoding=ascii&theme=relaxed#channel

Not all parts are required, but a few notes:

    1. The /kiwi/ part of the URL depends on your config.js. Default is /kiwi/

    2. If you have the restrict_server* config options set in config.js, the server address is ignored.

    3. The channel must be last, as anything after # is read differently in the browser.

If you do specifically need POST instead of this format of URL, you can generate a PHP script that reads the POST vars and generates the kiwi URL, redirecting the browser to it.

Thank you thank you thank you Darren! This is an even better solution than I could have hoped for. This way I can rather load an iFrame with the URL formatting you show down here, without the need for an "intermediary" form page!!

I think you're going to have to be a tad (or much) more specific regarding your requirement King Hendrick :)
