Hi Anthony,
So ... If I, say, wanted to send all new clients the message "hello"
when they joined on a private channel, I'd have something like this:
Ape.addEvent('init',function() { chan = Ape.mkChan("*private"); });
Ape.addEvent('adduser',function(user) { user.join("*private");
chan.pipe.sendRaw("hello"); });
Or would I need to get the client to request the messages with a
custom command?
Also I'm not completely sure about how the * works exactly: the
documentation is a rather vauge about this. Does it mean that the
clients cannot see the messages being sent by other clients on the
same channel? If this is supposed to be the case, then I've got some
code which doesn't work the way I'd expect.
Thanks!
