Documentation for the Dunno plugin for Supybot

Purpose

The Dunno module is used to spice up the reply when given an invalid command with random 'I dunno'-like responses. If you want something spicier than '<x> is not a valid command'-like responses, use this plugin. Like Success does for the 'The operation succeeded.' reply.

Usage

This plugin was written initially to work with MoobotFactoids, the two of them to provide a similar-to-moobot-and-blootbot interface for factoids. Basically, it replaces the standard 'Error: <x> is not a valid command.' messages with messages kept in a database, able to give more personable responses.

Commands

add [<channel>] <text>: Adds <text> to the dunno database for <channel>. <channel> is only necessary if the message isn't sent in the channel itself.

change [<channel>] <id> <regexp>: Changes the dunno with id <id> according to the regular expression <regexp>. <channel> is only necessary if the message isn't sent in the channel itself.

get [<channel>] <id>: Gets the dunno with id <id> from the dunno database for <channel>. <channel> is only necessary if the message isn't sent in the channel itself.

remove [<channel>] <id>: Removes the dunno with id <id> from the dunno database for <channel>. <channel> is only necessary if the message isn't sent in the channel itself.

search [<channel>] [--{regexp,by} <value>] [<glob>]: Searches for dunnos matching the criteria given.

stats [<channel>]: Returns the number of dunnos in the database for <channel>. <channel> is only necessary if the message isn't sent in the channel itself.

Configuration

supybot.plugins.Dunno.prefixNick

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

Determines whether the bot will prefix the nick of the user giving an invalid command to the "dunno" response.

supybot.plugins.Dunno.public

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

Determines whether this plugin is publicly visible.
