|
Why does my bot not recognize me or tell me that I don't
|
|
have the <capability>owner</capability> capability?
|
|
</para>
|
|
</question>
|
|
<answer>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Because you're not given it anything to recognize you
|
|
from! You'll need to identify with the bot
|
|
(<botcommand>help identify</botcommand> to see how that
|
|
works) or add your hostmask to your user record
|
|
(<botcommand>help addhostmask</botcommand> to see how that
|
|
works) for it to know that you're you. You may wish to
|
|
note that <botcommand>addhostmask</botcommand> can accept
|
|
a password; rather than identify, you can send the command
|
|
<botcommand>addhostmask myOwnerUser [hostmask]
|
|
myOwnerUserPassword</botcommand> and the bot will add your
|
|
current hostmask to your owner user (of course, you should
|
|
change <literal>myOwnerUser</literal> and
|
|
<literal>myOwnerUserPassword</literal> appropriately for
|
|
your bot).

How do I make Supybot op my users?
|
|
</para>
|
|
</question>
|
|
<answer>
|
|
<para>
|
|
First, you'll have to make sure that your users register
|
|
with the bot. They can do this with the
|
|
<botcommand>register</botcommand> command. After they do
|
|
so, you'll want to add the
|
|
<capability>#channel,op</capability> capability to their
|
|
user. Use the <botcommand>channel
|
|
addcapability</botcommand> command to do this. After
|
|
that, your users should be able to use the
|
|
<botcommand>op</botcommand> command to get ops.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
If you want your users to be auto-opped when they join the
|
|
channel, you'll need to load the <plugin>Enforcer</plugin>
|
|
plugin and turn its <registrygroup>autoOp</registrygroup>
|
|
configuration variable on. Use the
|
|
<botcommand>config</botcommand> command to do so. Here's
|
|
an example of how to do these steps:

<jemfinch|lambda> I'm going to make an example session for giving
|
|
you auto-ops, for our FAQ.
|
|
<dunk1> ah ok ;]
|
|
<jemfinch|lambda> First, I need you to register with supybot, using
|
|
the "register" command (remember to send it in private).
|
|
<dunk1> done
|
|
<jemfinch|lambda> what name are you registered under?
|
|
<dunk1> dunk1
|
|
<jemfinch|lambda> ok, cool.
|
|
<jemfinch|lambda> @channel addcapability dunk1 op
|
|
<supybot> jemfinch|lambda: The operation succeeded.
|
|
<jemfinch|lambda> now use the "op" command to get ops.
|
|
<dunk1> @op
|
|
— supybot gives channel operator status to dunk1
|
|
<dunk1> works!
|
|
<dunk1> ;]
|
|
<jemfinch|lambda> @load Enforcer
|
|
<supybot> jemfinch|lambda: The operation succeeded.
|
|
<jemfinch|lambda> @config supybot.plugins.Enforcer.autoOp.#supybot On
|
|
<supybot> jemfinch|lambda: The operation succeeded.
|
|
<jemfinch|lambda> ok, now cycle the channel (part and then rejoin)
|
|
<– dunk1 (dunker@freebsd.nl) has left #supybot
|
|
–> dunk1 (dunker@freebsd.nl) has joined #supybot
|
|
— supybot gives channel operator status to dunk1
|
|
<jemfinch|lambda> cool, thanks :)

Can users with the <capability>admin</capability>

Currently, no. Since this is the first release of Supybot
|
|
that uses the registry, we wanted to stay on the
|
|
conservative side and require the
|
|
<capability>owner</capability> capability for changing all
|
|
non-channel-related configuration variables. Feel free to
|
|
make your case to us as to why a certain configuration
|
|
variable should only require the
|
|
<capability>admin</capability> capability instead of the
|
|
<capability>owner</capability> capability, and if we agree
|
|
with you, we'll change it for the next release.

How do I make my Supybot connect to multiple servers?
|
|
</para>
|
|
</question>
|
|
<answer>
|
|
<para>
|
|
You'll need to use the <plugin>Relay</plugin> plugin. As
|
|
long as you don't call the <botcommand>relay
|
|
join</botcommand> command, it won't actually do any
|
|
relaying between channels (even if the bot is on the same
|
|
channel on different networks). In order to use the Relay
|
|
plugin, you'll want to first call the <botcommand>relay
|
|
start</botcommand> command, followed by the
|
|
<botcommand>relay connect</botcommand> command. These
|
|
commands are (unfortunately) not persistent at this time,
|
|
so you'll need to give them to the bot anytime you start
|
|
it up. We'll probably have this lack of persistence
|
|
rectified before the next release.

<question>

<para>
|
|
Can Supybot do factoids?
|
|
</para>
|
|
</question>
|
|
<answer>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Supybot most certainly can! In fact, we offer two
|
|
full-fledged factoids-related plugins!
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
<plugin>Factoids</plugin> (written by
|
|
<nick>jemfinch</nick>) is Supybot's original
|
|
factoids-related plugin. It offers full integration with
|
|
Supybot's nested commands as well as a complete 1:n key to
|
|
factoid ratio, with lookup by individual number.
|
|
<plugin>Factoids</plugin> also uses a channel-specific
|
|
database instead of a global database, although in the
|
|
future it will likely be a configuration option whether to
|
|
use channel-specific or global databases for such plugins.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
<plugin>MoobotFactoids</plugin> (written by
|
|
<nick>Strike</nick>) is much more full-featured, offering
|
|
users the ability to define factoids in a slightly more
|
|
user-friendly way, as well as parsing factoids to handle
|
|
<reply>, <action>, "see", and alternations
|
|
(defining a factoid "test" as "<reply>(foo|bar|baz)"
|
|
will make the bot send "foo" or "bar" or "baz" to the
|
|
channel (without the normal "test is " at the beginning)).
|
|
If you're accustomed to Moobot's factoids or Blootbot's
|
|
factoids, then this is the Factoids plugin for you.
|
|
Unfortunately, due to the more natural definition syntax
|
|
(required to be compatible with Moobot) you can't define
|
|
Factoids with nested commands; you'll have to evaluate the
|
|
command first and then copy the result into your factoid
|
|
definition. <plugin>MoobotFactoids</plugin> uses a global
|
|
database, so the factoids are the same for all channels.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
In the future, we plan to have a compatibility plugin for
|
|
Infobot, but as of present we've not yet written one.

Can I import my Infobot/Blootbot/Moobot factoids into

Supybot?
|
|
</para>
|
|
</question>
|
|
<answer>
|
|
<para>
|
|
As of present, we have no automated way to do so.
|
|
<nick>Strike</nick> has written a few scripts for
|
|
importing a Moobot database into
|
|
<plugin>MoobotFactoids</plugin>, however, so you'll want
|
|
to talk to him about helping you with that. We're
|
|
certainly happy to help you convert such databases; if you
|
|
can provide us with such a database exported to a flat
|
|
file, we can probably do the rest of the work to write a
|
|
script that imports it into a database for one of our
|
|
factoids-related plugins.

Submit it on Sourceforge through our Sourceforge project

to submit your bug, then post it in the "Supybot Developer
|
|
Discussion" forum at our forums at
|

<ulink url="http://forums.supybot.org">

Anyway, when you submit your bug, we'll need several
|
|
things. If the bug involved an uncaught exception, we
|
|
need the traceback (basically the stuff from
|
|
“Uncaught exception in …” to the next
|
|
log entry). We'd also like to see the commands that
|
|
caused the bug, or happened around the time you saw the
|
|
bug. If the bug involved a database, we'd love to see the
|
|
database. Remember, it's always worse to send us too much
|
|
information in a bug report than too little.

<plugin>Karma</plugin> by default doesn't acknowledge

karma updates. If you check the karma of whatever you
|
|
increased/decreased, you'll note that your increment or

|
decrement still took place. If you'd rather
|
|
<plugin>Karma</plugin> acknowledge karma updates, change
|
|
the
|
|
<registrygroup>supybot.plugins.Karma.response</registrygroup>
|
|
configuration variable to <literal>On</literal>.
