Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: None Group: None Status: Open Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: David Perry (perryda) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Linkify - perl plugin to linkify text Initial Comment: ABOUT ChatZilla (a part of Mozilla) had a neat feature that I missed in GAIM: whenever someone typed something like "bug 1234", it would wrap it in a link to http://bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1234 , so I could just click on it to see the relevant bug. I liked the feature enough that I decided to write a plugin for GAIM to do it. Of course, there's no challenge in just creating bugzilla links, so I spent too much time making a general- purpose user-definable link-wrapping script. (: HOW TO USE IT Create a text file in ~/.gaim called linkify.cfg . Within it, put regexp-URL pairs like this: # Lines with '#' are comments bug\s+([0-9]+) http://bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=$1 Backreferences to the regexp are substituted into the URL as needed. Only you (and your GAIM logs, if you use them) will see the linkified text; other people in the conversation won't get the extra link garbage on their screen. (Which is just as well, since it's probably text they typed which is being linkified!) This also means that you get handy links even in IRC chats, where HTML is meaningless. Linkify won't linkify text that's already in an <a> tag, or text that's part of an HTML tag. Linkified text is given the class "gaim-linkify" to distinguish it from other links. CREDITS Thanks to Nicholas Killewald for help allowing user-definable backreferences. Thanks to the GAIM team for making such a useful program! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Anthony (duerra) Date: 2007-03-20 18:19 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=924757 Originator: NO I am running Gaim 2.0b6, and would like to note that messages that I send to others are not linkified in my window, in either IRC chats or IM messages. In the perl script, the following lines can be found: # Attached to receiving-chat-msg, so chat messages you receive # (including those you type yourself) are linkified. sub linkifyChat { and # Attached to displaying-im-msg, so IMs you type are linkified. sub linkifyMyIM { However, this is not working in the latest release (I am unsure about previous releases). It would be wonderful if this did indeed work for messages that I send out. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Kousik Nandy (kousik) Date: 2006-01-30 02:23 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=147877 linkify 0.0.7 gaim 2.0.0beta2 fedora core 3 perl: Loading perl script linkify: Reloading /home/username/.gaim/linkify.cfg perl: Perl function Gaim::Script::linkify::plugin_load exited abnormally: Undefined subroutine &Gaim::Conversation::gaim_conversations_get_handle called at (eval 3) line 201. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Omegatron (omegatron) Date: 2006-01-07 22:03 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1069357 Using Windows XP Gaim 2.0.0beta1 (debug) Activeperl 5.8.7 Linkify 0.007 Example linkify.cfg It gives the error: Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at C:\Program Files\Ga im\plugins\linkify.pl line 60.

Let me know if it acts flaky for you once you get it installed properly. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: David Perry (perryda) Date: 2005-12-19 14:43 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=77962 I need to research the perl API to see if anything's changed, but I do plan to make this plugin compatible with gaim 2.0. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Luke Schierer (lschiere) Date: 2005-12-19 14:25 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=28833 A new version of gaim has been released. It is likely that your plugin will crash in the new gaim. As per our standard policy, we are only including plugins that we write, being unable to maintain hundreds of plugins as we develop gaim, if you want to continue making your plugin available, please update your plugin and reopen it. If not updated, this will close in 14 days. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: David Perry (perryda) Date: 2005-09-02 19:13 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=77962 Version 0.005 URL-encodes non-alphabetical characters, for safer URLs (particularly when using them with a command-line utility). Also takes care of problems when ' or $ were in text to be linkified. !!NOTE!! Because of this URL-encoding, linkify now requires URI::Escape and Encode in order to function. I believe Encode is in Perl by default, and that URI::Escape is in perl-URI. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: David Perry (perryda) Date: 2005-09-01 20:51 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=77962 Linkify doesn't properly URL-encode non-alphabetical characters. This can cause problems with quotes or if used for Wikipedia links. I'm investigating possible solutions. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: David Perry (perryda) Date: 2005-01-08 10:05 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=77962 spam3234: the current version works fine for me in gaim 1.1.1.
