irssi-xmpp

I can't understand how to use the plugin

Asked by Lorenzo Bivens

Hello!

I am really interested on getting this working... But I have been searching for instructions everywhere I can think about and I can't find a clue about how to use this plugin.

I know you can load it with /load
I guess the use of /connect must be mandatory...
But I've been trying to connect to my gtalk account in vain...

Can you please shed a little light on the usage of this wonderful idea?

Thanks!

PD: If you need any spanish translations I am all in for it ;)

If you compile this plugin you must install the plugin under $HOME/.irssi/modules

In the file cat .irssi/startup you just write the row
LOAD xmpp

The .irssi/config should look something like:
servers = (
  {
    address = "the.server.com";
    port = "5223";
    use_ssl = "yes";
    chatnet = "xmppnet"; #This name matches the entry in chatnets
    password = "yourpassword";
    autoconnect = "yes";
  }
);

chatnets = {
  xmppnet = { type = "XMPP"; nick = "<email address hidden>"; }; #The nick here is your login
};

#For MUC you can autojoin channels
channels = (
  {
    name = "<email address hidden>";
    chatnet = "xmppnet";
    autojoin = "Yes";
  },
);

settings = {
  core = {
    real_name = "Your Name";
    nick = "a cool nickname";
    recode_autodetect_utf8 = "yes";
  };
  "fe-text" = { actlist_sort = "refnum"; };
};

Thank you very much!

I found the right documentation after all... I really felt like a dumb because I was not able to use the plugin and I didn't find any help...

Then I recalled /usr/share/doc/irssi-plugin-xmpp/ and the nice docs that are stored there...

Thank you. It's better to have this posted here anyway...
