Last Seen mod

[y_b]

I did some quick'n'dirty modifications to LastSeen plugin to fit better to my taste:

1. ICQ IPs are logged correctly;
2. Variables can be used in the log filename. You could have separate files for different protocols/contacts or create new file each month;
3. Rewritten "Protocols to watch". Now selecting/deselecting protocols is easy ;)
4. Solved enable/disable file logging bug
5. Introduced 6 new variables:
   • %P - protocol name (ICQ, ICQ1, MSN...);
   • %N - nick on the server;
   • %C - Client Info;
   • %G - Group;
   • %o - Old status;
   • %T - Status message
6. Option to use # instead of % to get empty strings instead of <unknown>
7. extended support of multiple yahoo protocols(not tested);
8. extended support for jabber/s.
9. popup support
10. delayed logging to wait for the protocols to update all the settings
11. option to track idle statuses

The modified Last Seen can be downloaded here. Screenshot is also available.

<important note>
After version 5.0.4.0 is LastSeen-mod not compatible with NewStatusNotify. You must disable NSN and eventually re-enable LastSeenMod.
LastSeenMod has overlapping functionality with NSN and now defines the same core function as NSN (RNDUSERONLINE)
NSN compatible clone is available there.
</important note>

Feedback/suggestions/bug reports are welcome.

finally somebody is working on that! btw can U try to work on this: do not show last seen info about IRC channels but show it about IRC nick that U add to contact list? and using them for private conversation?
thanks

btw how it gets info about that when contact was last seen?

[y_b]

I don't use IRC, but I think it should be possible to track status changes if the IRC contact is in your contact list, but most likely it is not possible to separate the individual contacts form channels (am I using the right terms?...)

LastSeen (mod) logs the time when some contact changes his status. So, the meaning is "When Miranda has been notified for the status change of the contact" but not "When the contact logged-in to the server"

[TioDuke]

@y_b: maybe you can try this to distiguish between real contacts and channels. Most channels begin with the '#' character (though, not always).

[y_b]

May be better approach would be to add something like "Always track this contact" and/or "Never track this contact" in the LastSeen tab of the "user details". But I don't know when I will spend time for this...

[Mayhem]

Im for never track this option in contact menu.

btw if contact is on when I connect its the time Ive connect in last seen?

[TioDuke]

I am also for 'never track this user' in last seen tab in user's details (the problem will be peole not having the last seen tab enabled), though.

@Mayhem: the answer to your question is yes.

[Mayhem]

or in menu, wheres send file and so. but I wont that menu grow...
maybe last seen can collect last seen message as well and show it in last seen tab.

ICQ IPs are logged correctly

at last someone fixed that. thx!

[Tigerix]

Hello,

I got one little feature requests:
Show Empty variables empty in stead of "<unknown>"

And one little bug report:
The ICQ-IP-Adress is only shown correctly if the user have allready been online before. That means: users ip-adresses who are just coming online are never logged.
(always: <unknown>)

Maybe its a solution to use an delay before writing the ip-adress into the log.

But anyway: Thanks for your work on this great old plugin!
Greetings,
