Getting started #56

Closed dideler closed 10 years ago

dideler commented 10 years ago

Maybe someone can help me out and the README or wiki can be improved.

The public room I want to join is https://assemblyhq.campfirenow.com/room/578218. My IRC client is weechat.

set up a connection to localhost:6667

Using /connect localhost 6667 didn't work. So I added a new server as /server add localhost localhost/6667.

Then I opened my ~/.weechat/irc.conf file and scrolled down to the new localhost server settings. Here's what I have so far

Am I on the right track? Where do I find the API key?

you can see your API key on https://assemblyhq.campfirenow.com/member/edit

@Fusselwurm that link brings me to a login, but I don't have an account and I don't see a sign up option anywhere. I can join the assemblyhq room via this link https://assemblyhq.campfirenow.com/1283b, which doesn't require me to create an account (just need a nick to join).

@dideler cant help you, then. :disappointed:

zerowidth commented 10 years ago

@dideler camper_van only works with authenticated connections... if you can figure out a way to talk to the campfire API without an API key, it could probably work with anonymous users like that link above.

Thanks for the help @zerowidth and @Fusselwurm. I'm going to close this issue since I'd rather use something else than spend any more time on this.
