Command to place conference last in prio list missing

Jepson — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 20:24:32 -0000

(from Pawal) There should be a command to place a conference last in the priority list, since the workaround "prio a, b" is less than optimal.

I'm assigning this to myself for the time being, this should be two minutes of work (including testing).

The signup shortcut ("med *") should show conferences

Jepson — Sat, 01 Mar 2008 00:21:29 -0000

The signup result message should show what conferences the user just joined when signing up for all previously non-joined conferences.

"You have now joined the following conferences:
Babianbajs vi minns
Brevlådeavföringsproppare
Enkelspåriga användare (och deras zoologiska invektiv)

Totalt 3 nya möten"

Original request from RFE conference:

Är du säker på att du vill gå med i alla möten (j/n)? j
Du har nu gått med i 1 möten.

Kan man få önska sig en liten lista på vilka möten man gått med i?

"More" prompt

Jepson — Mon, 01 Aug 2005 15:19:18 -0000

The "More" prompt should include an option to display
the rest of the message without further prompts.

(It's not just a feature, it's a usable feature if the user is
dumping the contents of a conference for logging
purposes, or has an alternative interface.)

Change Conference command

Jepson — Mon, 25 Jul 2005 20:54:03 -0000

A command, with a behaviour similar to
ChangeContactInfo, should be implemented for
conferences.

The owner should be able to change the conference's

- name
- type
- comment spillover conference

Custom prompt

Jepson — Sun, 24 Jul 2005 23:51:33 -0000

[Suggested by Lumsby]

A custom prompt, plus standard elements to be inserted
as the user wants.

The prompt string must be simple enough for the user to
edit using the standard line editor. Help texts should be
provided.

Examples of elements might include date parts, time
parts, next command, current conference, total unread
texts, unread texts in current conference and so on.

I suggest writing a prompt formatter, adding a prompt
format field to the user table (unless we take this
opportunity to implement property bags) and giving all
current (and new) users a standard prompt.

Conference list color coding

Jepson — Sun, 24 Jul 2005 21:56:49 -0000

[Suggested by Hokie in (578636)]

Color code the conferences in the conf list, to
distinguish between

- public conferences
- private conferences
- secret conferences (which the user is allowed to see,
due to either being a member or having admin privileges)

Default time zone

Jepson — Sun, 24 Jul 2005 21:37:13 -0000

A property for the default time zone should be put
somewhere (server.properties?). This time zone should
be set as the default time zone for users that haven't
selected one.

Text editor when changing subject

Benny Lofgren — Sat, 18 Dec 2004 18:20:19 -0000

When changing subject (with the "!ä ä" command), the
old subject isn't presented for edit as would be
expected. Instead one is prompted for an entirely new
subject line.

Minor nuisance of course, though a well-functioning
subject edit function does encourage writers to change
subject to suit changing topics in the flow of a
discussion thread.

"exit handler" and idle flush

Benny Lofgren — Sat, 18 Dec 2004 17:53:52 -0000

It would be helpful if OpenKOM caught SIGTERM and
SIGHUP (or its java equivalents) and performed a quick
user cleanup to save user status, conference pointers
and so on.

In fact, it might be a good idea to periodically flush
idle users' status (if dirty), to minimize the impact
of a sudden system crash.

En lite mer avancerad (men inte omöjligt att genomföra)
variant är att
skriva ut:
1. Hoppa (över) träd
2. Hjälp t

om man skriver "h t", dvs för de kommandon man matchar
som tar parametrar,
stoppa in de parametrar man tror att användaren har
angivit. Vet inte om
det är bättre?
