Issue Summary
it seems that the component dont take care of the nick of the user logged in.
it always connects to irc as Guest. I´ve changed the "Guest-prefix" to Gast in backend. this is working, so it connects as "Gast" but if you are logged in, it does the same (you are "Gast" not the user)
i am using drupal 5.1
any fix is highly appreciated!
thank you!

I found that this is the case as well. I *think* it's fixed by adding the line
global $userto the function pjirc_page -- at least it seems to work for me. I've included a patch, lemme know what you think.I added another little bit, too:
$pjirc_nick = $user->uid && $user->name <> 'admin' ? $user->name : variable_get('pjirc_nick','Guest');I found that if I'm logged into drupal as 'admin' and I'm connecting to freenode, for instance, 'admin' is considered an 'erroneous nickname', so I can't connect. I suspect this would be the case for other folks, too. Not sure if this is a good fix, but it works ok.

great job..
i´ve found, that this "bug" was in a former version of this module also :)
so, pjirc-team, maybe its better to implement the bugfixes of former releases into future releases as well..? ;-)
thank you for your help!

Would someone mind explaining to me how to do this patch? I'm not really very php savvy, but would like to have this problem fixed.
Thanks :)

Nevermind, I figured it out. Sorry, didn't see the patch download link above earlier.

Fixed the part about global $user.
The part about forbidden nicknames is another issue and should be requested as a task for commenting.
Thanks for the patch.
