Documentation for the Channel plugin for Supybot

Purpose

Basic channel management commands. Many of these commands require their caller to have the #channel,op capability. This plugin is loaded by default.

Usage

This plugin provides various commands for channel management, such as setting modes and channel-wide bans/ignores/capabilities. This is a core Supybot plugin that should not be removed!

Commands

alert [<channel>] <text>

Sends <text> to all the users in <channel> who have the <channel>,op capability.

ban add [<channel>] <nick|hostmask> [<expires>]

If you have the #channel,op capability, this will effect a persistent ban from interacting with the bot on the given <hostmask> (or the current hostmask associated with <nick>). Other plugins may enforce this ban by actually banning users with matching hostmasks when they join. <expires> is an optional argument specifying when (in "seconds from now") the ban should expire; if none is given, the ban will never automatically expire. <channel> is only necessary if the message isn't sent in the channel itself.

ban hostmask [<channel>] <banmask>

Bans the <banmask> from the <channel>.

ban list [<channel>] [<mask>]

If you have the #channel,op capability, this will show you the current persistent bans on the <channel> that match the given mask, if any (returns all of them otherwise). Note that you can use * as a wildcard on masks and * to match actual * in masks

ban remove [<channel>] <hostmask>

If you have the #channel,op capability, this will remove the persistent ban on <hostmask>. <channel> is only necessary if the message isn't sent in the channel itself.

capability add [<channel>] <nick|username> <capability> [<capability> ...]

If you have the #channel,op capability, this will give the <username> (or the user to whom <nick> maps) the capability <capability> in the channel. <channel> is only necessary if the message isn't sent in the channel itself.

capability list [<channel>]

Returns the capabilities present on the <channel>. <channel> is only necessary if the message isn't sent in the channel itself.

capability remove [<channel>] <name|hostmask> <capability> [<capability> ...]

If you have the #channel,op capability, this will take from the user currently identified as <name> (or the user to whom <hostmask> maps) the capability <capability> in the channel. <channel> is only necessary if the message isn't sent in the channel itself.

capability set [<channel>] <capability> [<capability> ...]

If you have the #channel,op capability, this will add the channel capability <capability> for all users in the channel. <channel> is only necessary if the message isn't sent in the channel itself.

capability setdefault [<channel>] {True|False}

If you have the #channel,op capability, this will set the default response to non-power-related (that is, not {op, halfop, voice}) capabilities to be the value you give. <channel> is only necessary if the message isn't sent in the channel itself.

capability unset [<channel>] <capability> [<capability> ...]

If you have the #channel,op capability, this will unset the channel capability <capability> so each user's specific capability or the channel default capability will take precedence. <channel> is only necessary if the message isn't sent in the channel itself.

cycle [<channel>] [<reason>]

If you have the #channel,op capability, this will cause the bot to "cycle", or PART and then JOIN the channel. <channel> is only necessary if the message isn't sent in the channel itself. If <reason> is not specified, the default part message specified in supybot.plugins.Channel.partMsg will be used. No part message will be used if neither a cycle reason nor a default part message is given.

dehalfop [<channel>] [<nick> ...]

If you have the #channel,op capability, this will remove half-operator privileges from all the nicks given. If no nicks are given, removes half-operator privileges from the person sending the message.

deop [<channel>] [<nick> ...]

disable [<channel>] [<plugin>] [<command>]

Configuration

supybot.plugins.Channel.alwaysRejoin

This config variable defaults to "True", is network-specific, and is channel-specific.

Determines whether the bot will always try to rejoin a channel whenever it's kicked from the channel.

supybot.plugins.Channel.nicksInPrivate

This config variable defaults to "True", is network-specific, and is channel-specific.

Determines whether the output of 'nicks' will be sent in private. This prevents mass-highlights of a channel's users, accidental or on purpose.

supybot.plugins.Channel.partMsg

This config variable defaults to "Limnoria $version", is network-specific, and is channel-specific.

Determines what part message should be used by default. If the part command is called without a part message, this will be used. If this value is empty, then no part message will be used (they are optional in the IRC protocol). The standard substitutions ($version, $nick, etc.) are all handled appropriately.

supybot.plugins.Channel.public

This config variable defaults to "True", is not network-specific, and is not channel-specific.

Determines whether this plugin is publicly visible.

supybot.plugins.Channel.rejoinDelay

This config variable defaults to "0", is network-specific, and is channel-specific.

Determines how many seconds the bot will wait before rejoining a channel if kicked and supybot.plugins.Channel.alwaysRejoin is on.
