New Away System plugin discussion

[UnregistereD]

seems that you forgot to remove one more space after "40074".

yeps

by the way, I guess, the spaces aren't inserted for "code" blocks.

unfortunately, they are

Okay, i got a problem...

If there's a song which comprises a "?" it shows up "nothing is playing" for "?if2(%winampsong%,nothing is playing)"...

Anyone got an idea how to avoid that?

Yeah that's a problem!! But Some of my contacts have a , in their name (Weather)!! So i had to rename them!! It would be cool to do it like this: ?dbstring("City, Counry",Weather, LastConditon) (i mean the ")!!

as for "?" - I tried to find a workaround for that bug, but didn't found anything. seems that we'll need to wait for a fixed version of Variables.

@Elex:
try this:
?dbstring(City`,` Country,Weather,LastCondition)

As Deathdemon said, you can use ` to keep things unparsed. However, you could also specify a contact by it's unique id.

Whenever a functions requires a contact as an argument, you can specify it in two ways:

1) Using a unique id (UIN for ICQ, email for MSN) or, a protocol id
   followed by a unique id in the form <PROTOID:UNIQUEID>, for example
   <MSN:[email protected]> or <ICQ:123456789>.

2) Using the contact function:
---
contact(x,y)
---
A contact will be searched which will have value x for its property y,
y can be one of the following:

first
last
nick
email
id
display

For example: ?contact([email protected],email) or
?contact(Miranda,nick).  Contact will either a unique contact
according to the arguments or nothing if none or multiple contacts
exists with the given property.

...a readme file is on it's way, so is a fix for ?if2(%winampsong%,...

Could you add a function that sets your status to away oder NA after a certain period time? And it should have options to confirm reseting the status when you get back :-) Maybe its already on your todo list..

autoaway is somewhat different function than does my plugin. that's why it's better to keep it separated, in another plugin. you can use one of those multiple autoaway plugins, like AdvancedAutoAway, Smart Auto Away, Extended Idle System and probably I forgot some others. though I didn't tested NAS with them yet, so I cannot guarantee that NAS is fully compatible with them ;)
I have plans to make NAS more compatible with other plugins in future.

Is it possible to make it so that this does not allow the AIM autoresponse to trigger when you are away?

Actually, this seems kind of funky ... check out the screenshot below of my message logs.

1. this user is a metacontact from sje's metacontact plugin. I was messaging him on AIM.
2. if you look at the actual message dialog you can see that the user got an autoresponse from me from this plugin, but he also seems to have gotten a traditional autoresponse from AIM as well.
3. when you look at the messageexport log you see that it recorded an autoresponse from this plugin to the metacontactand the aim subcontact.

* Shouldnt this turn off the aim autoresponses?
* Shouldnt this send only one response to metacontact?
