you are free to host qwebirc on your "localhost" and tell this add-on to use that.
I will probably do it soon and when I do, i will integrate it even further.

So I've attempted to do this myself; but it's time to ask the experts.

I'm trying to get it to link to an EFnet server and channel. So, originally I just changed the server to "http://chat.efnet.org" but that took away the added functionality of knowing the forum-users name and default channels I specified.

I can do it that way and just force people to put in their usernames and the channel; but I'd rather have that information in there already when they click on "Webchat" along with the preset prefix I've defined for them.

I feel like I'm close... and maybe just not using the correct original link because I noticed that by default it is - http://qchat.rizon.net

Not with this add-on.

However, if you can run an irc bot on your server, it should be pretty easy to get online user list and display anywhere.

So if someone with the username Bob enters the chat, will their name automatically be Bob in the room?
