/topic Command

[Jaybird]

Hello everyone,

I have written a /topic command.. it stores the topic in chanmeta data and works with sites that have multiple rooms, only operators and admins can change the topic.

/src/commands/topic.class.php

Code: Select all

<?php

require_once(dirname(__FILE__)."/../pfccommand.class.php");

class pfcCommand_topic extends pfcCommand
{
  var $usage = "/topic {message}";

  function run(&$xml_reponse, $p)
  {
    $clientid    = $p["clientid"];
    $param       = $p["param"];
    $sender      = $p["sender"];
    $recipient   = $p["recipient"];
    $recipientid = $p["recipientid"];
   
    $c  =& pfcGlobalConfig::Instance();
    $u  =& pfcUserConfig::Instance();
    $ct =& pfcContainer::Instance();

    $isadmin = $ct->getUserMeta($u->nickid, 'isadmin');

    if (trim($param) == "")
    {
   $room = str_replace('ch_', "", $recipient);
   $topic = $ct->getChanMeta($recipient, "topic");
   $ct->write($recipient, "*notice*", $this->name, "[b]".$room."[/b] - current topic: [i][u]".$topic."[/i][/u]");
    return;
    }
    if ($isadmin) {
        $msg = phpFreeChat::PreFilterMsg($param);
   $ct->setChanMeta($recipient, "topic", $msg);
   $cmdp = $p;
   $cmdp["recipient"] = $recipient;
   $cmdp["recipientid"] = $recipientid;
   $cmdp["param"] = _pfc('%s changes the topic to: %s',$u->getNickname(), $msg);
   $cmd =& pfcCommand::Factory("notice");
   $cmd->run($xml_reponse, $cmdp);
    }else{
    $xml_reponse->script("pfc.handleResponse('help', 'ok', 'only ops can change the topic');");
 }
}

?>

Add this next line to the main.php file for the language your using. These files are located in the /i18n/ folder.

example: /i18n/en_US/main.php (line 405)

Code: Select all

// topic.class.php
$GLOBALS["i18n"]["%s changes the topic to: %s"] = "%s changes the topic to: %s";

Then add these few lines to /join to display the topic to the room when a new user enters.

/src/commands/join.php (line 56)

Code: Select all

//topic displayed when joining
$topic = $ct->getChanMeta($chanrecip, "topic");
if ($topic != ""){
$ct->write($chanrecip, "*notice*", "topic", "[b]".$channame."[/b] - current topic: [i][u]".$topic."[/i][/u]");
} else {
$ct->write($chanrecip, "*notice*", "topic", "[b]".$channame."[/b] - current topic: [i][u]no topic set[/i][/u]");
}

enjoy!

so how do you set the topic?

[Jaybird]

only admins can set the topic.. to set the topic type: /topic (the topic)

[TheSeaKing]

How does the topic command do exactly?
Does it show a topic at the top of the chat?

[Jaybird]

it doesn't show at the top of the chat, it displays when a new user joins the chat.. or when you type /topic

admins can type /topic <message> to change the topic.. Works in every chatroom, and also private messages..

It doesn't work for me. Chat screen is going blank after reloading. No messagess, no userlist. Any solution?

[bhootnath]

1. one closing bracket missing from the first section of code.. add that..
2. make sure that the lines you adding to join.php or join.class.php for newer versions.. it is after the line which reads..

Code: Select all

// register the user (and his metadata) in the channel
$ct =& pfcContainer::Instance();

it should work after these two changes..

Thanks. Works great!

One more question. How to display current topic ONLY for user who is joining chat, not for everyone?
And how to disable topic or set to none (no topic)?

[bhootnath]

am myself looking for that.. it is kind of annoying for everyone else to see the topic every time a new user joins the chat.. also when some user has a bad connection and he keeps on timing out the topic keeps on popping again and again whenever that user is connection is back... that is the reason that i have the notification disabled currently.. and if you wanna see the topic you have to type in topic command...

not sure if there is a way built in the code to show a message to one specific user.. first trying to look if there is something already built in which that will allow the notification to show in the chat window of only the new user.. if not then will work on a hack/ patch to do so...

there is no disabling the topic but it can be blank and in that case users will get the notification that no topic has been set.

Does this work when using the MySQL container?

[bhootnath]

yes it does.. am using the MySQL container.. even that chat log is in MySQL for my chat...
