# Advanced Configuration for PyLink Relay
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
PyLink Relay provides a few advanced configuration options not documented in the example configuration, either because they have limited use, or are too complicated to be described briefly.

PyLink Relay provides a few configuration options not documented in the example configuration, either because they have limited use or are too complicated to be described briefly.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
**This guide assumes that you are relatively familiar with the way YAML syntax works (lists, named arrays/dicts, etc.).** For the purposes of this document, configuration options will be referred to in the format `a::b::c`, which represents the "`c`" configuration key in a "`b`" block, all within an "`a`" block.

**This guide assumes that you are relatively familiar with the way YAML syntax works (lists, named arrays/dicts, etc.).** In this document, configuration options will be referred to in the format `a::b::c`, which represents the "`c`" option inside a "`b`" config block, all within an "`a`" config block.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
In actual YAML, that translates to this:
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
```yaml
 | 
			
		||||
a:
 | 
			
		||||
    b:
 | 
			
		||||
        c: "some value"
 | 
			
		||||
```
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
### Custom Clientbot Styles
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Custom Clientbot styles can be applied for any of Clientbot's supported events, by defining keys in the format `relay:clientbot_styles:EVENTNAME`. A list of supported events can be found at https://github.com/GLolol/PyLink/blob/1.1-alpha1/plugins/relay_clientbot.py#L12-L24.
 | 
			
		||||
- Note: the `PM` and `PNOTICE` events represent private messages and private notices respectively, when they're relayed to users behind a Clientbot link.
 | 
			
		||||
- Note 2: as of 1.1.x, all public channel events are sent to channels as PRIVMSG, while `PM` and `PNOTICE` are relayed privately as NOTICE.
 | 
			
		||||
Custom Clientbot styles can be applied for any of Clientbot's supported events, by defining keys in the format `relay::clientbot_styles::<event name>`. See below for a list of supported events and their default values (as of 1.3.0).
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
A common use case for this feature is to turn off or adjust colors/formatting; this is explicitly documented [below](#disabling-colorscontrol-codes).
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
These options take template strings as documented here: https://docs.python.org/3/library/string.html#template-strings. Supported substitution values differ by event, but usually include the [hook values for each](technical/hooks-reference.md#irc-command-hooks), *plus* the following:
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
- For all events:
 | 
			
		||||
    - `$netname`: origin network name
 | 
			
		||||
    - `$sender`: nick of sender
 | 
			
		||||
    - `$sender_identhost`: ident@host string of sender
 | 
			
		||||
    - `$sender_identhost`: ident@host string of the sender
 | 
			
		||||
    - `$colored_sender`: color hashed version of `$sender`
 | 
			
		||||
    - `$colored_netname`: color hashed version of `$netname`
 | 
			
		||||
- For KICK, and other events that have a `$target` field corresponding to a user:
 | 
			
		||||
    - `$target_nick`: nick of target (as opposed to `$target`, which is an UID)
 | 
			
		||||
- For events that have a `$channel` field attached (e.g. JOIN, PART) or have a channel in `$target` (PRIVMSG, etc.):
 | 
			
		||||
    - `$local_channel`: the LOCAL channel name (of the clientbot network)
 | 
			
		||||
    - `$channel`: the real channel on the sender's network
 | 
			
		||||
    - `$target_nick`: the nick of the target (as opposed to `$target`, which is an user ID)
 | 
			
		||||
- For events that have a `$channel` field attached (e.g. JOIN, PART):
 | 
			
		||||
    - `$local_channel`: the *local* channel name (i.e. the channel on the clientbot network)
 | 
			
		||||
    - `$channel`: the real channel name on the sender's network
 | 
			
		||||
    - `$mode_prefix`: the highest prefix mode of the sender, if they are a user. This is normally either empty or one of (common prefix modes) `~&!@%+`.
 | 
			
		||||
- For SJOIN, SQUIT:
 | 
			
		||||
    - `$nicks`: a comma-joined list of nicks that were bursted

 |

- Note 2: as of 1.1.x, all public channel events are sent to channels as PRIVMSG, while `PM` and `PNOTICE` are relayed privately as NOTICE.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
#### Disabling Colors/Control Codes
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
If you don't want the messages PyLink sends for clientbot messages to be emboldened or colored,
 | 
			
		||||
remove all escape sequences (e.g. `\x02`) from the format template and replace the colored variants
 | 
			
		||||
of applicable substitutions with their non-colored versions.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
This is a example clientbot_styles config block, which you can copy *into* your `relay` configuration block.
 | 
			
		||||
(*Do not* make multiple `relay` config blocks, or duplicate any config blocks with the same name!)
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
```yaml
 | 
			
		||||
    clientbot_styles:
 | 
			
		||||
        ACTION: "[$netname] * $sender $text"
 | 
			
		||||
        JOIN: "[$netname] - $sender$sender_identhost has joined $channel"
 | 
			
		||||
        KICK: "[$netname] - $sender$sender_identhost has kicked $target_nick from $channel ($text)"
 | 
			
		||||
        MESSAGE: "[$netname] <$sender> $text"
 | 
			
		||||
        NICK: "[$netname] - $sender$sender_identhost is now known as $newnick"
 | 
			
		||||
        NOTICE: "[$netname] - Notice from $sender: $text"
 | 
			
		||||
        PART: "[$netname] - $sender$sender_identhost has left $channel ($text)"
 | 
			
		||||
        PM: "PM from $sender on $netname: $text"
 | 
			
		||||
        PNOTICE: "<$sender> $text"
 | 
			
		||||
        QUIT: "[$netname] - $sender$sender_identhost has quit ($text)"
 | 
			
		||||
        SJOIN: "[$netname] - Netjoin gained users: $nicks"
 | 
			
		||||
        SQUIT: "[$netname] - Netsplit lost users: $nicks"
 | 
			
		||||
```
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
### Misc. options
 | 
			
		||||
- `relay::clientbot_startup_delay`: Defines the amount of seconds Clientbot should wait after startup, before relaying any non-PRIVMSG events. This is used to prevent excess floods when the bot connects. Defaults to 5 seconds.
 | 
			
		||||
- `servers::NETNAME::relay_force_slashes`: This network specific option forces Relay to use `/` in nickname separators. You should only use this option on TS6 or P10 variants that are less strict with nickname validation, as **it will cause protocol violations** on most IRCds. UnrealIRCd and InspIRCd users do not need to set this either, as `/` in nicks is automatically enabled.
