How do one go about fetching the nick of the user who set the topic in a given channel?
I have searched all over trying to find such a feature, but I came out short :\

maybe you check the raw reply to the "/topic" command, i think the user who set it and when is in this reply

reading the commands in rawformat, does that have to be incorporated pre-compile?

No.
read the tcl-command.doc file about binds, what you are looking for is bind raw....

yeah, i figuered out as much as my start will be
bind raw - 332 proc_topicset
and
bind raw - 331 proc_notopicset

but i still dunno how to fetch the info out of the rawcommand.

Code: Select all

putserv "TOPIC $channel"

that will give you the topic set for that channel, however it will not always ahow who set the topic, not sure but I think that's different from server to server
anyway... the raw numeric for who set the topic is 333
will return Papillon!bla@bla.bla.bla.bla 1051371211
the first element beeing the nick and uhost of the user who set the topic ofcourse

the second element is the unixtime of when the topic was set

thanx, got it all to work now.

here is the current code

bind raw * 333 proc_topicset

proc proc_topicset { from keyword arg } {
set testing $arg
putquick "PRIVMSG mynick :$testing"
}

have included lindex'ing and stuff, just have the code on another computer

no need for the : it works perfectly fine without, ofcourse it doesn't hurt to put it in

yea, the : is only "needed" if the argument/message has more than one word. good practice to use it every time though

no, it is not! I suggest you read the given document one more time. As spock said, it is only needed if the argument/message has more than one word. When checking the topic you can have only 1 argument, if not you will set the topic in the channel specified...

Code: Select all

putserv "TOPIC #channel"
#gives you the topic for that channel
putserv "TOPIC #channel :blablabla"
#sets the topic in that channel to "blablabla" (if you are op in that channel ofcourse)

Ah yea, I was thinking of setting the topic ... not viewing the topic. Blah, it's too damn early to be thinking.

: is needed to set the topic, not view it... *yawn*
