02:42 <zer0python> is there an easy way to set the bot name as a prefix, that is instead of using like '!', one could just say "MyBot: do blah" or "MyBot, do blah" ?

02:42 <zer0python> doesn't seem to like it if I try to set prefix to 'MyBot: '

02:43 <zer0python> or maybe it was a typo -_-

03:18 <catepillar> if you dont ever change the bot name you could easily do that with prefix

03:19 <catepillar> https://github.com/cinchrb/cinch/blob/master/examples/plugins/custom_prefix.rb

03:20 <catepillar> I don't know the order of declaration and execution of things, but you *might* be able to use something like @bot.nick for the name if it is gonna be changing, but dominikh would be better to answer that

13:26 <waxjar_> zer0python, you can set a lambda that returns the name of the bot as the prefix

15:44 <davidh_> cinch v. 2.0.4; can't get plugins to work. tried the example on the github page, with no success. tried a few other plugins too.

15:44 <davidh_> the normal Hello, World example on github works fine

15:45 <dominikh> the default prefix for plugins is !

15:45 <dominikh> so !hello for the hello plugin

15:46 <davidh_> ah, let me try that...

15:46 <davidh_> ta daaaa… it works. thanks. :)

17:56 <godzirra> Howdy guys.

17:57 <godzirra> Is "react_on :private" deprecated?

18:00 <dominikh> nope

18:00 <dominikh> oh, yes

18:00 <dominikh> wait

18:01 <godzirra> What did it change to? I looked in the docs but I didn't see anything obvious

18:01 <dominikh> maybe :>

18:01 <godzirra> ha

18:01 <godzirra> Well, I upgraded cinch and it tells me its a syntax error now. ;)

18:01 <dominikh> set :react_on, :private, probably

18:02 <dominikh> syntax error? doubtful, that's Ruby's task to determine, not Cinch's ;)

18:02 <godzirra> zirra.rb:9: syntax error, unexpected ',', expecting keyword_end :react_on, :private

18:02 <dominikh> show me line 9

18:03 <godzirra> :react_on, :private

18:03 <dominikh> well that doesn't make any sense :P

18:03 <dominikh> never did

18:03 <godzirra> Its part of a class... it used to work with just "react_on :private" at the top of the class..

18:03 <dominikh> yes, react_on, not :react_on :P

18:03 <godzirra> Thats what I had before.

18:03 <dominikh> either way, it's set :react_on, :private now

18:04 <godzirra> Ah.

18:04 <godzirra> Let me try that.

18:04 <godzirra> That did it. THanks. Same with prefix. Cool

18:04 <dominikh> http://rubydoc.info/gems/cinch/file/docs/migrating.md

18:06 <zer0python> what's the global variable to use for accessing the bot's configuration ? (if there is one ?)

18:06 <dominikh> global variable? none.

18:06 <dominikh> that wouldn't make a lot of sense considering there can be many bots in a single script

18:08 <zer0python> well, I basically wanted something like -> set :prefix => lambda { "#{bot.nick}: " }

18:08 <dominikh> the lambda has an argument, the message object. the message object has a reference to the bot

18:09 <dominikh> lambda { |m| "#{m.bot.nick}: " }

18:10 <zer0python> ah

18:13 <godzirra> Thanks dominikh

18:13 <dominikh> cheers.

18:15 <zer0python> dominikh: thanks, that worked

18:15 <dominikh> :)

18:16 <zer0python> I don't see where at in the docs where it says set can take a lambda like that though :S

18:18 <dominikh> http://rubydoc.info/gems/cinch/Cinch/Plugin/ClassMethods:prefix it says it can take a Proc, but that's not well documented, I agree…

18:18 <Cinchy> [URL] Method: Cinch::Plugin::ClassMethods#prefix — Documentation for cinch (2.0.4)

18:18 <dominikh> I'm sure it's documented *somewhere*…

19:24 <zer0python> probably

19:39 <dominikh> the docs aren't too great
