patch for rudybot @ #emacs

Hi!

I want to ignore certain users only in certain channels.  Yes, it's
specifically targetting rudybot in #emacs.  (rudybot is useful in
#scheme, but it's a PITA in #emacs).

So here is a "patch":

------------------------------------------------------------------------
(defcustom erc-ignore-per-channel-alist nil
  "*A-List of regexps matching user identifiers to ignore, for each channel.

Some users are obnoxious only in some channels (eg. rudybot on #emacs).

A user identifier has the form \"nick!login <at> host\".  If an
identifier matches, the message from the person will not be
processed."
  :group 'erc-ignore
  :type '(repeat (cons string regexp)))

(defcustom erc-ignore-per-channel-reply-alist nil
  "*A-List of regexps matching user identifiers to ignore completely, for each channel.

Some users are obnoxious only in some channels (eg. rudybot on #emacs).

This differs from `erc-ignore-list' in that it also ignores any
messages directed at the user.

A user identifier has the form \"nick!login <at> host\".

erc-cmd-LIST always sends an option

Hi *,

erc-cmd-LIST always sends LIST with an option.  If the user did not
specify an option an empty option is send.  To my understanding this is
standard conferment (though ugly).  But at least one widely used ircd
get confused by this behavior, see:
https://github.com/inspircd/inspircd/issues/120

So I propose the following patch:

--- erc-list.el Mon May 14 22:39:14 2012 +0200

 (put 'erc-cmd-LIST 'do-not-parse-args t)

This is erc v5.3 from GNU Emacs HEAD.

/list produces incomplete output: analysis and workaround

Hi *,

I discovered, that erc /list does not display all channels the server
announces: it turns out that visited and even channels already parted
are omitted.

The reason is, that the function to display the channels is added as
hook to erc-server-322-functions after erc-server-322.  But
erc-server-322 returns a non-NIL value when erc-update-channel-topic
succeeds on a channel -- which in turn leads to the following hook
functions not being called.

I'm not deep enough into the code to call it a solution -- but the
following simple workaround (which simply makes sure that erc-server-322
always returns NIL) seems to work:

--- erc-backend.el           2012-05-14    03:00:11.666556805 +0200

handle urls like urlview

I want view the last 5 links in this buffer on another window and choose which to open
with firefox.

Can anyone help me complete this function, I'm don't know lisp and also
a Emacs newbie...

(defun my-urlview ()
  (interactive)
  (set-buffer (get-buffer-create "*urlview*"))
  (buffer-disable-undo)
  (erase-buffer)
  ...
  ...
  (switch-to-buffer-other-window "*urlview*")
  (local-set-key (kbd "q") (lambda ()
                             (interactive)
                             (bury-buffer)
                             (unless (null (cdr (window-list))) ; only one window
                               (delete-window)))))

Make server response timestamp format customizable (patch)

ERC displays various server response messages with timestamps. The
timestamp formats that are hard-coded to ERC code have some unnecessary
variation. Also, it's sometimes even unclear what is the day component
and what is the month component (due to YY/MM or MM/YY differences).

I suggest making those server response timestamp formats customizable
and having the default value in international "%Y-%m-%d %T" format (as
parsed by `format-time-string' function).

This message includes a patch that fully implements this (I believe).

I have also filed this to Emacs bug tracking system:
http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=10779

getting new-window/query indication in "ERC messages to you" window?

Hello,

Thank you for tending ERC.
I am a happy user, with one niggling request:

Is there a way to make it so when someone does the equivalent
of "/q <my_nick>" (which creates a new window for me), that I also
get some sort of notification in my "ERC messages to you" window?

I've had a few queries like that that I've missed, because while
I take care to keep the "ERC messages to you" window visible,
there may be many other sub-windows that are hidden.

This is how I do it:

(defun ted-erc-spc-dwim ()
  "DWIMmy behavior for the SPC key in ERC."
  (interactive)
  (condition-case nil (insert " ")
    (text-read-only
     (condition-case nil (scroll-up)
       (end-of-buffer (recenter 0))))))

(define-key erc-mode-map (kbd "SPC") 'ted-erc-spc-dwim)

<space> to scroll to next page?

Hello

I'm using erc on a linux text console. From Gnus and other emacs
programs my fingers are used to scroll to the next page while reading
by pressing <space>.

Unfortunately I have to press <PageDown> when reading through an
high traffic erc buffer.

I would like the space bar to go down to next page unless the point
is in the writable area of an erc buffer, where it should insert a space
char.

How do I do that?

Thanks a lot,
Robert.

buffer local erc-hide-list ?

Hi,

I'd like to use different erc-hide-list values for different channels.
If I'm on a public channel like #debian or #emacs, I don't want to see
any join/part/quit messages, while on a private channel with 2-3 people
it's good to see when someone leaves/joins.

I tried to (make-variable-buffer-local 'erc-hide-list), but it does not
work, erc uses the global value.

How can I accomplish this?

Thanks.
