Create a plugin to do temperature conversions #29

Closed dskaggs closed 9 years ago

dskaggs commented 9 years ago

We talk about temperatures enough with people from both sides of the pond that it would be nice to have a simple temperature conversion command.

Either have an on-demand conversion like: !temp 25f zoidbox: 25 degrees fahrenheit is -3.9 degrees celcius

Or have it look at every message for a pattern of something like 25c and auto convert it to fahrenheit and vice versa.

:+1: I also like the idea of having the bot just respond whenever a message includes {integer}(f|c), that way it doesn't require an extra line to go through chat

need to support negative temperatures and need to change the regex to require whitespace in front of the temp

<Kalculus> In CF10, when I try accessing an application variable (in a named application scope) through an included JSP, it doesn't seem to work.  In http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ColdFusion/10.0/Developing/WSc3ff6d0ea77859461172e0811cbec22c24-786c.html it gives sample code on how to do it, but it doesn't seem to work.  Does anyone know how to get this to work.
<zoidbox> BTW, 786ºC is ~1447ºF

Ha, it's actually currently using word boundaries, but I can see how whitespace would be better! Will jump on this after lunch.
