[edit] Using WebGaim
[edit] Quick Start
Initial Configuration:
- Webgaim requires an installed copy of gaim since it runs as a plugin. Install gaim and configure gaim on your pc. This includes creating all of your IM accounts. GAIM supports pretty much everything under the sun.
- Install the plugin following the instructions from here. Go to tools->plugins and enable WebGaim Plugin.
- Once the plugin activate start a webbrowser on the same machine as webgaim and go to http://localhost:8888/ . At this point webgaim is running.
Using Mobile Browsers:
- If the PC running gaim is behind a firewall, you will need to forward port 8888 to the PC with gaim. ( Your router should have documentation on how to do this )
- Now all we need is browse to http://yourip:8888/ from anywhere and you will see the webgaim interface.
[edit] The UI
CMD: U : H : B : O
- This is the WebGaim Quick Command bar.
- U = Refresh/Update the current screen
- A = Takes you to the Accounts Login/Logout screen
- O = Takes you to the Options screen
- ? = Takes you to the Help screen
Active:
- The active tab displays all buddies that have sent you a message that you have not read yet.
- Example

(2) MyBuddy1 [0]
Online:
MyBuddy1
SomeoneElse
- (2) specifies the number of unseen messages.
- MyBuddy1 is the buddy that IM-ed you.
- [0] If your WAP device supports access keys, hitting this button on the keypad would take you to that conversation.
