This improvement is tracked here: Allow configuration of IRC encoding, and set default to utf-8

in 1.1.4 mod_irc.erl still uses -define(DEFAULT_IRC_ENCODING, "koi8-r").
Changing this was the only way for me that finally gave me umlauts.
(I also tried {default_encoding, "utf-8"} and {"irc.freenode.net","utf-8"} in ejabberd.cfg which didn't work)
Please make the charset settable without having to recompile the code; or at least set it to utf-8 as default which is xmpp standard.

Thanks for the patch. I will

Thanks for the patch.
I will try this out on a server running Debain/testing. Should not be to big deal to rebuild ejabberd on it.

Debian is all I need.

Not on 1.1.0. Try this patch

No, they are not related to default encoding.

Check this bug report: Add option for locale in mod_irc. There's a patch, can you try it to verify if it really works?

If you use a precompiled package and can't patch and recompile the sources, you can use this mod_irc.beam (it probably requires ejabberd 1.1.0 and Erlang R10B).

I couldn't see if the new

I couldn't see if the new release has got any fixes for this issue from release notes or https://support.process-one.net//browse/EJAB-48 (IRC Gateway improvements).

So, anyone that has tried, still an issue?

You can change this setting

You can change this setting as an end-user by going in Coccinella to the disco tabblad, then right click on the mod_irc component and select Register.

Changing the default setting for all users is currently only possible by editing the source code and recompiling the module. I just send Alexey a reminder about it. :o)

[03:41] <stian> anyone know how I can change default encoding on irc transport to utf-8 ?
[03:42] <stian> it is koi8-r or something pr default I think
[03:42] <stian> would be very xtremely cool to change this default
[03:43] <aleksey> inside mod_irc_connection.erl
[03:43] <aleksey> oops
[03:43] <aleksey> just mod_irc.erl
[03:44] <aleksey> -define(DEFAULT_IRC_ENCODING, "koi8-r").
[03:44] <stian> need to change this before I compile and install right?
[03:45] <stian> pretty please make this option configurable for next release ;)
[03:45] <aleksey> i'll try to not forget :)
