Chat: 

This module supports the following configuration options in the [chat] section of the ctrl/modopts.ini file:

Do you have multiple IRC servers configured in modopts.ini and you want a different channel list per server? Just add more keys to the modopts.ini [chat_sec] section of the form:

<server>=<channel_list>

Where <server> is the IRC server's host name (e.g. irc.synchro.net) and <channel_list> is a comma-separated list of channels to override the default list of channels (set with the irc_channel key).

In Synchronet v3.20, SCFG->System->Loadable Modules->Chat Section is set by default to “chat_sec” and will be automatically invoked with the JavaScript bbs.chat_sec() method or the Baja chat_section function call.

With older versions of Synchronet, this module should be installed in stock command shells by default (over-riding the hard-coded “Chat” menu logic). To install into additional command shells, replace the following line(s) in exec/*.src:

chat_section

with:

exec_bin chat_sec

And then recompile with Baja - or just run the update module.
