 +===== Configure ===== 
 + 
 +This module supports the following configuration options in the ''[chat]'' section of the ''[[dir:ctrl]]/[[config:modopts.ini]]'' file: 
 + 
 +^ Option       ^ Default               ^ Description ^ 
 +| finger       | true                  | Allow finger client use | 
 +| imsg         | true                  | Allow inter-BBS instant messenger use | 
 +| irc          | true                  | Allow IRC client use                  | 
 +| irc_server   | irc.synchro.net 6667  | Comma-separated list of IRC Server addresses and (optional) TCP port | 
 +| irc_channel  | #Synchronet           | Comma-separated list of IRC Channels to auto-join | 
 +| irc_seclevel | 90                    | Security level required to change IRC server/channel parameters | 
 + 
 +==== Servers-specific Channel Lists ==== 
 + 
 +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). 
 +===== Install ===== 
 + 
 +==== SBBS v3.20 ==== 
 + 
 +In Synchronet v3.20, [[util:SCFG]]->System->Loadable Modules->Chat Section is set by default to "chat_sec" and will be automatically invoked with the [[custom:JavaScript]] ''bbs.chat_sec()'' method or the Baja ''chat_section'' function call. 
 + 
 +==== SBBS v3.19 and earlier ==== 
 +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 ''[[dir:exec]]/*.src'': 
 +  chat_section 
 +with: 
 +  exec_bin chat_sec 
 +   
 +And then recompile with [[util:Baja]] - or just run the [[module:update]] module.
