[pescuma]

THIS PLUGIN WAS DEPRECATED IN FAVOR OF: http://pescuma.mirandaim.ru/miranda/historykeeper

. 0.0.0.2
+ Options page
+ Popups


I do not intend to add any more features to this plugin, so if no one reports any error in a few days, it will go to FL.

Also, if someone could draw some nice icons for the menu itens and the popup, i'd apreciate.

Don't you think you'll get away with it so easily.
• Options > Events > Status Msg History > Protocols (group) --> Enable nickname tracking for theese protocols (it's these)
• Options > Popups > Status Msg Change (why Change and not History? It's confusing)
• No popup templates???
• Popup preview doesn't work in the ANSI build on an ANSI system. Using PopupPlus 2.0.3.97 RC2.
[EDIT]
• Popups do not work at all. :-(

I have also got another two small requests, perhaps you can consider them although you don't want to add new features, because I regard them as quite useful:

-an option to not log when the user clears his msg (because I'm not interested in empty status msgs logged to history at all, they imo unnecessarily bloat the history)

-perhaps an option to not log when I am not connected to the concerning protocol (because everytime when I switch to offline, all status msgs are removed from DB and users with status msgs get an entry in their history that they removed their status msg, which is actually not true, because it was me who signed off). I know this could also be solved by the requested option "do not log when user clears his msg", but there might be users who take care of msg-removed entries in the database, but just do not want to get those entries when they sign off theirself...

thanks!

I'll fix it

• Options > Popups > Status Msg Change (why Change and not History? It's confusing)

I don't think it is confusing. The popup will be shown when the status message changes. The sentence "show popup on status message history" makes no sense, but "show popup on status message change" makes. I know it isnt the name of the plugin, but I think it is the best name for the entry in the options. (PS: You can always change it with the langpack)

• No popup templates???

Nope, wait for nullbie's notify plugin

• Popup preview doesn't work in the ANSI build on an ANSI system. Using PopupPlus 2.0.3.97 RC2.

Have you tested the nick history? It works there? (probabily not)

-an option to not log when the user clears his msg (because I'm not interested in empty status msgs logged to history at all, they imo unnecessarily bloat the history)

-perhaps an option to not log when I am not connected to the concerning protocol (because everytime when I switch to offline, all status msgs are removed from DB and users with status msgs get an entry in their history that they removed their status msg, which is actually not true, because it was me who signed off). I know this could also be solved by the requested option "do not log when user clears his msg", but there might be users who take care of msg-removed entries in the database, but just do not want to get those entries when they sign off theirself...

Oki, two more options are needed...

Nick History is not a plug-in I'm interested in. Neither would this one be, but for some reason, SMCN always crashes when I connect to Jgmail, so I can't use that one, although I'd much prefer it, because it logs to separate text file, not to DB. I never save anything but settings to the DB (virtual DB driver, remember?) and I can't afford unneeded data to grow it uselessly.

[pescuma]

Oki, so theese plugins are not for you :-P
But could you test nick history to see if it works in win9x? Please???
