A new CB reader

by choroba (Cardinal)
on Jul 05, 2017 at 20:09 UTC ( [id://1194297]=monkdiscuss: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

I was a happy user of the #cbstream IRC ↔ PM client that makes the ChatterBox feel and behave like the IRC. But then sometimes broke (as it happened time to time), but ambrus hasn't been around for the last three weeks to fix it. So I wrote a simple ChatterBox reader myself. At the moment, it only reads, and I'm still not sure I want to add the ability to write to it. It uses the new CB XML ticker (as I skimmed over the other CB clients, they all seem to use the old one). If you want to use it, or just check the code, you can find it on GitHub.

($q=q:Sq=~/;[c](.)(.)/;chr(-||-|5+lengthSq)`"S|oS2"`map{chr |+ord }map{substrSq`S_+|`|}3E|-|`7**2-3:)=~y+S|`+$1,++print+eval$q,q,a,

    You can now find another program in the repository, pm-cb-g, which is a GUI client. It's read/write and the basics should work, but I might add some bells and whistles later. It uses Thread::Queue and Tk.

    What I don't understand is why the POST to the send chatter returns The Monastery Gates instead of the announced text "Chatter accepted".

      Prayer to the gods: Please promote the choroba to pmdev, so he can at least drink - ehm read - from the sources of the monastery. ;-)

        If he asks for it, sure.

        I reckon we are the only monastery ever to have a dungeon stuffed with 16,000 zombies.
      Thanks choroba!

      I just forked it and proposed a modification ( just added some color / size options ).

      Have you considered the possibility to use MCE for threading part? Will be an opportunity to show another example of usage of such module.

      Unfortunately I'm not able to modify your program in this direction: possibly some other monks will accept the challenge..

      Anyway thanks!

        Hi Discipulus. Just few line changes ( 3 places ). Here's the diff output.

        $ diff pm-cb-g pm-cb-g-hobo 27,28c27,28 < use threads (stack_size => 2 ** $stack_size); < use Thread::Queue; --- > use MCE::Hobo; > use MCE::Shared; 41c41 < my ($readQ, $writeQ) = map 'Thread::Queue'->new, 1, 2; --- > my ($readQ, $writeQ) = map { MCE::Shared->queue() } 1, 2; 43c43 < my $communicate_t = threads->create(\&communicate); --- > my $communicate_t = MCE::Hobo->create(\&communicate);

        Update. The stack_size option isn't needed when using MCE::Hobo. Below is the diff -u output.

        Try increasing the stack_size parameter to threads.

    The new version on GitHub supports personal messages.

    I have forked it and started a new branch, that supports:

    • Config files
    • Auto-login
    • Custom date-format
    • Custom time-stamp format
    • Startup geometry
    • Custum author-format
    • Configurable copy-url button
    • History/logging with re-load on startup

    Feel free to copy every/any aspect and/or change any of it.

    Asking for features without suggestions is cowardish :)

    High on my wishlist is logging conversations and reloading the log on startup.

    There is currently a possible bug in my code that causes links to show up rather weird. I think it has to do with hard-coded offsets, as the code does not check the size of now changed parts (time-stamp, author).

    Anyway, thank you choroba for a useful interface now that #cbstream is dead.
