Embed a IRC Chat Room using freenode.net.

Steps

1. Create page live-chat
2. Enter the following code replacing your-wiki-name-goes-here with the name of your wiki

[[embed]]
<iframe src="http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=your-wiki-name-goes-here" width="647" height="400"></iframe>
[[/embed]]

Save and link this page.

Just what I wanted!

Thanks for this tsangk :) You made a slight mistake, put 'code' there instead of 'embed', but other than that it worked fine!

Hm, whoever connects to the server first is automatically the admin. Is there any way that I can permanently own a server, so that even if I'm not online, no-one else can become admin just by connecting first?

I assume I'd have to pay for it, and am willing to do that if necessary. Just looking for a site to do that from. Is there a page on freenode.net that I should be looking at? :S

You can register at freenode as permanent admin of the channel.

I've opened a channel for the new forum.wikidot.com.

I've been sitting in #wikidot for the past several months (computer is connected almost 24-7), and occasionally see people pop in. They ask questions then leave, before I have a chance to reply. Would be nice if we had more people in there :)
