Running commentary on the big patch.. updating this page as I go.

perl.c - word[2] fix. I already did this. Forgot to check it in.

src/common/* - Looks like DCC and text color fixes. I am going to save these for last in the hopes that Peter releases soon. It's much easier to maintain 3rd party source in CVS if I minimize changes. Are there any patches that Peter didn't take?

-- Not that I know.

AquaChat^?.[mh] - UTF8 fixes, MenuMaker^?. Done.

AsciiWin^? - UTF8 fixes. Done.

BanListWin^? - UTF8 fixes. Done.

Changes - All good, but I need to hand apply to 0.16.0. Don't let me forget.

ChannelListWin^? - UTF8 fixes. Done.

mycommon.[mh] - UTF8, const fixes. Done.

ChatWindow^?.[mh] - UTF8, transparancy, MenuMaker^?, cleanup. Done.

Dcc* - Looks great. What about moving the xfer limit into the prefs window?

-- Adding it to the prefs would be nice, but I wouldn't remove it from the DCC window. It's handy to have it there: it improves discoverability and lets you manage it based on the current global transfer speed, which is shown on the same line. Eg: "This DCC send is taking too much upload bw, everything else is slowing down! Ah, I can set a limit there." (Later) "Why are my file transfers so slow? Ah, I set a limit earlier, there it is."

EditEvents^?.mm - UTF8 fixes. Done.

EditList^?.mm - UTF8 fixes. Done.

IgnoreListWin^?.mm - UTF8 fixes. Done.

LogViewer^?.mm - UTF8 fixes. Done.

Sure, but remember that the shipping fe-gtk already has support for it, and some of the default event formats use it.

Nobody Group

• Set GROUP =

Used to prevent dangerous actions e.g. renaming TWikiPreferences - put NobodyGroup as the only group allowed to rename a topic and it can't be renamed.

Why does X-Chat Aqua report errors when trying to load the perl plugin?

Different versions of MacOS have different versions of perl. In order to support different versions of MacOS, we provide multiple versions of the perl plugin. Since multiple versions of the plugin are present in the Plugins folder, they will both try to load. As expected, only 1 of the plugins will be able to load and the others will fail. You can easily silence the errors by removing the perl plugin that does not correspond to the version of MacOS you have.

These groups can be used to define fine grained TWikiAccessControl in TWiki:

• NobodyGroup
  • Members:
• TWikiAdminGroup
  • Members: SteveGreen

IMPORTANT NOTE: Think twice before restricting write access to a web or a topic, because an open system where everybody can contribute is the essence of the WikiCulture. Experience shows that unrestricted write access works very well because:

• There is enough peer pressure to post only appropriate content.
• Content does not get lost because topics are under revision control.
• A topic revision can be undone by a member of the TWikiAdminGroup in case it needs to be.

Main Web Preferences

The following settings are web preferences of the Main web. These preferences overwrite the site-level preferences in TWikiPreferences, and can be overwritten by user preferences (your personal topic, eg: TWikiGuest in the Main web).

Preferences:

• Local
  • Set SKIN = xchat
  • Set WIKILOGOIMG =
  • Set WIKILOGOALT = X-Chat Aqua home
  • Set WIKILOGOURL = http://xchataqua.sourceforge.net/
  • Set MYTOPICS =
  • News (Home Page)
  • About X-Chat Aqua
  • X-Chat Aqua Help
  • FAQ
  • Open Issues
  • Screen Shots
  • Downloads

• List of topics of the TWiki.Main web:
  • Set WEBTOPICLIST = Users | Groups | Changes | Index | Search | Go

• Web specific background color: (Pick a lighter one of the StandardColors)
  • Set WEBBGCOLOR = #999999

• List this web in the SiteMap:
  • If yes, Set SITEMAPLIST = on, and add the "what" and "use to..." description for the site map. Make sure to list only links that include the name of the web, e.g. Main.Topic links.
  • Set SITEMAPLIST = on
  • Set SITEMAPWHAT = Welcome to TWiki... Users, Groups, Offices - tour this expandable virtual workspace.
  • Set SITEMAPUSETO = ...get a first-hand feel for TWiki possibilities.

• Exclude web from a web="all" search: (Set to on for hidden webs)
  • Set NOSEARCHALL =

• Prevent automatic linking of WikiWords and acronyms (if set to on); link WikiWords (if empty); can be overwritten by web preferences:
  • Set NOAUTOLINK =
  • Note: Use the [[...][...]] syntax to link topics in case you disabled WikiWord linking. The <noautolink> ... </noautolink> syntax can be used to prevents links within a block of text.

• Default template for new topics and form(s) for this web:
  • WebTopicEditTemplate^?: Default template for new topics in this web. (Site-level is used if topic does not exist)
  • TWiki.WebTopicEditTemplate: Site-level default template
  • TWikiForms: How to enable form(s)
  • Set WEBFORMS =

• Users or groups who are not / are allowed to view / change / rename topics in the Main web: (See TWikiAccessControl)
  • Set DENYWEBVIEW =
  • Set ALLOWWEBVIEW =
  • Set DENYWEBCHANGE =
  • Set ALLOWWEBCHANGE =
  • Set DENYWEBRENAME =
  • Set ALLOWWEBRENAME =

• Users or groups allowed to change or rename this WebPreferences topic: (I.e. TWikiAdminGroup)
  • Set ALLOWTOPICCHANGE =
  • Set ALLOWTOPICRENAME = TWikiAdminGroup

• Web preferences that are not allowed to be overridden by user preferences:
  • Set FINALPREFERENCES = NOSEARCHALL, ATTACHFILESIZELIMIT, WIKIWEBMASTER, WEBCOPYRIGHT, WEBTOPICLIST, DENYWEBVIEW, ALLOWWEBVIEW, DENYWEBCHANGE, ALLOWWEBCHANGE, DENYWEBRENAME, ALLOWWEBRENAME

Notes:

• A preference is defined as:
  6 spaces * Set NAME = value
  Example:
  • Set WEBBGCOLOR = #FFFFC0
• Preferences are used as TWikiVariables by enclosing the name in percent signs. Example:
  • When you write variable %WEBBGCOLOR% , it gets expanded to #999999 .
• The sequential order of the preference settings is significant. Define preferences that use other preferences first, i.e. set WEBCOPYRIGHT before WIKIWEBMASTER since %WEBCOPYRIGHT% uses the %WIKIWEBMASTER% variable.
• You can introduce new preferences variables and use them in your topics and templates. There is no need to change the TWiki engine (Perl scripts).

Why are the colors wrong for new messages and server messages?

In releases prior to 0.15.0, the colors used to show new messages and server messages were incorrectly swapped. Since 0.15.0, the problem has been corrected and you will now see the correct colors.

Why are some characters displayed wrong?

Most of the time, this is because the different IRC clients aren't using the same charset. The charset setting determines how characters are encoded and decoded. If the two sides don't agree on a method, then some characters will be displayed wrong. The best way to solve the problem is to ask the other person what charset they are using, but if you can't do that, some good choices to try are CP1252 and ISO-8859-15.

Why doesn't X-Chat Aqua support MacOS X 10.2 or less?

This is because the perl plugin no longer works with the version of perl that comes with 10.2. Although X-Chat Aqua doesn't strictly rely on the perl plugin, I didn't like the idea of releasing an xchat variant without it. The final straw in this decision was that I have started to take advantage of new features in 10.3+ thus making supporting 10.2 impossible (or more difficult than it's worth).

Why do I need the perl plugin?

The perl plugin USED to be used to handle clickable URLs but it's not needed for basic functionality anymore.

X-Chat Aqua is a MacOS X IRC client. If you are familiar with XChat for UNIX/GTK+/X Windows, then you will be at home with X-Chat Aqua. X-Chat Aqua uses the IRC engine from XChat and has been designed to look and feel like XChat. As time goes by, I expect that I will add features that are not necessarily part of XChat.

At this time, X-Chat Aqua only has this page as documentation. In addition, you can view the documentation (currently out of date) for X-Chat, here. The rest of this document contains information/notes about XChat and/or XChatAqua. It was written to provide an overview of XChat and/or XChatAqua and to supply some information that can only be found in several different locations.

Within this help document, ??? denotes something that is being used as a temporary filler/reminder, needs to be verified or needs to be rewritten.

Getting Started

XChatAqua is based on XChat within the following we will reference both by just staying XChat to simplify things. When you start XChat, the first thing that you will want to do is connect to a "server". You do this by bringing up the "Server List" found in the "File" menu item. This allows you to start a "session" with a Server by logging into that server. Once that you are logged in, you may use the "/join" command or the "Window"->"Channel List" to join a channel. XChat allows you to join multiple channels per server as well as multiple servers. Talking on a channel is easy, you simply type what you want to say into the text at the bottom of the appropriate channel window and press "enter" or "return". Commands are entered in the same place. Their first character must be a "/" unless you have changed it which we discuss later. When you want to leave a channel, you issue a "/part" command. There are other commands which you might want to use and those are denoted below in the Basic Commands Section.

Basic Commands

All IRC commands begin with the forward slash, "/". If the text that you type does not start with "/", then that text is considered just part of the normal conversation and is sent out on the IRC channel as such.

Most channel names begin with a pound sign, "#". Per-server channels start generally start with "&". Other characters may be used but this is rare.

Everything denoted as a message may have special coloring or substitutions in it as denoted later in this help guide.

With the above commands, you are on your way to having fun with XChat. Experiment and have fun!

Channel Window

When a channel is joined, this is the window displayed and the means of chatting within that channel. At the top of the window is a text window that displays the "Topic" for the channel. To the right of the "Topic" are the Channel Mode Indicators. They initially spell out something like TNSIPMBL. They are denoted by RFC 2811 and stand for:

Below the Topic Bar is the Chat Text Window which shows the streaming text from the IRC Channel (ie chatting).

To the right of the Chat Text Window is the channel member list. If you right-click on a name, a multi-level menu will appear which allows you to do several things to the user name that you selected. (Use caution here since kick and ban are among the commands offered.) These menus are called the "Userlist Popups".

Below the Channel Member List are two bars used to indicate the IRC usage levels. The first indicates represents the ping/pong response from server (ie how efficent/good your connection is to the server). This is also referred to as the "lag" or "ping" time. The second indicates how many bytes are waiting to be sent (ie how much XChat is throttling the data so that you are not considered to be flooding the channel). This is referred to as the "throttle" in the Preferences.

Below the two bars may be the "UserList Buttons". They are only showing if you enabled them in Preferences->Interface->User List. If you enabled them, you simply select a user from the UserList and then press the appropraite button to issue the command that the button represents. These are optional and do not have to be enabled.

XChat and XChatAqua Common Notes

Below are some notes about things that are common to xchat and XChatAqua. So, you can use them in both if you wish.

• Entering Text using the input text area or via commands support a form of mIRC Color Codes as follows:
• Since % is used to preface special directives below, to insert a % into your text use %%.
• For bolding, use %Btext%B as in: "/say %BThis is BOLDed!%B"
• To cancel all effects on some text, use %Otext%O as in: "/say %OThis is cancelled effects.%O"
• For underlining, use %Utext%U as in: "/say %UThis is underlined.%U"
• For reversing colors, use %Rtext%R as in: "/say %RThis is reversed.%R"
• The format for colors is:
• To set foreground color only, use: "%C<Foreground_Color_Number>(text msg)%C"
• To set both foreground and background colors, use: "%C<Foreground_Color_Number>,<Background_Color_Number>text%C"
• <Color_Code> means substitute the color code from below, but do not include the < or the >.
• For Example: "//say %C6 This is PURPLE.%C"
• The color codes are:

Code	Color	Code	Color
1	Black	9	Light Green
2	Dark Blue	10	Aqua
3	Dark Green	11	Light Blue
4	Red	12	Blue
5	Brown	13	Violet
6	Purple	14	Grey
7	Orange	15	Light Grey
8	Yellow	16	White

• Plugins that are to be automatically loaded should be put in "/Applications/X-Chat Aqua/Plugins/" instead of "~/.xchat2". However, if you run the X11 version of XChat2 as well, then they should be put in both places.
• Commands allow you to add simple scripts/commands to say or change things. All the commands use a format that allows for some substitution. If you need more than this, then you will have to probably write a plugin script. The substitutions are made by adding the following to the command text:
• %<number> substitutes in the command word. 1 substitutes the command itself, 2 is the first operand following the command, etc.
• &<number> substitutes in the cummulative command words. 1 substitutes the command itself plus all the operands given, 2 substitutes all operands, 3 substitutes all the operands minus the first one, etc.
• %c substitutes in the current channel name.
• %m substitutes in your machine's name.
• %n substitutes in the your nick name.
• %s substitutes in the user name that you are issuing the command on (ie the object of the command if it implies a user nickname).
• %t substitutes in the current date/time.
• %v substitutes in xchat's version.
• %y substitutes in YYYYMMDD.
• CTCP Commands allow you to add simple scripts/commands to say or change things. All the commands use a format that allows for some substitution. If you need more than this, then you will have to probably write a plugin script. The substitutions are made by adding the following to the command text:
• %<number> substitutes in the command word. 1 substitutes the command itself, 2 is the first operand following the command, etc.
• &<number> substitutes in the cummulative command words. 1 substitutes the command itself plus all the operands given, 2 substitutes all operands, 3 substitutes all the operands minus the first one, etc.
• %d substitutes in ???.
• %m substitutes in your machine's name.
• %s substitutes in ???. If used in userlist button or popup commands, this will substitute the selected users nickname.
• %t substitutes in the current date/time.
• %v substitutes in xchat's version.
• %y substitutes in YYYYMMDD.
• User Commands allows you to add simple scripts/commands. User commands are executed by prefacing their name with a "/" in the text input line. They are also listed by "/help". The commands are actually stored in "~/.xchat2/commands.conf". Multiple lines may be added per command. Some substitutions may be made as noted for Commands above.
• To connect to multiple channels via the Server List, make sure that you prefix the channel names with a "#" and that the channel names are separated by commas.
• Preferences->Chatting->LoggingThe log file name supports substitution similar to the substitution for Commands. The substitution supported is:
• %c substitutes in the current channel name.
• %m substitutes in your machine's name.
• %n substitutes in the your nick name.
• %s substitutes in the channel name being logged.
• %t substitutes in the current date/time.
• %v substitutes in xchat's version.
• %y substitutes in YYYYMMDD.
• Commands are denoted in the Text Input by using the Command Input Character as the first character. This character defaults to being "/". However, you can change it using the command, "/set", but rarely is this done.

XChatAqua Specific Notes

The following are things which are unique to XChatAqua and really doesn't apply to xchat2.

• Channel Mode Indicator B when pressed does not display the Ban List as it does in XChat. You must use "Window"->"Ban List" and then press "Refresh" instead.
• Plugins that are to be automatically loaded should be put in "/Applications/X-Chat Aqua/Plugins/" instead of "~/.xchat2". However, if you run the X11 version of XChat2 as well, then they should be put in both places.
• Preferences Lists->User Commands are actually stored in "~/.xchat2/commands.conf" and represent additional user commands that you have added.
• Preferences Lists->Userlist Buttons are actually stored in "~/.xchat2/buttons.conf" and represent all the user list buttons that you have added at the bottom of the userlist. If they are not showing, look to see if they are enabled in Preferences->Interface->User List.
• Preferences Lists->Userlist Popups are actually stored in "~/.xchat2/popups.conf" and represent additional user commands that you have added. These are brought up by right-clicking on a userlist name.
