  • IRC Option / Chat Section

    DM,

    I am curious, is there a "best" way to lock in the host/port that a user can connect to off the IRC menu. I plan on setting up the irc.synchro.net and joining the network eventually. I was wondering what the best way to customize the chat section menu so it doesn't prompt the user for input and only connects to the irc.synchro.net network?

    Thanks,
    -WitNik

    The default behavior of chat_sec.js is to only allow sysops and C-exempt users to change the IRC server to connect to.

    Awesome! So, I'm a victim of my own security level. =)

    This is another reminder as to why it's important to test menus both as yourself and as a regular user with whatever default permissions you give
    them. It makes sure you know what they're likely to see.

    Not a bad idea to test as Guest as well, if you have a Guest account.

    I've been using echicken's Web Interface to test Guest level access too. It's handy for checking ARS on message and file areas.
