Example commands usage in bitlbee? #144

Closed Barbaross93 closed 3 years ago

Barbaross93 commented 3 years ago

Sorry to make an issue when this is more a question, but unfortunately I can't seem to use the commands documented in the README with bitlbee. As mentioned in #142, the commands are returned as [bitlbee] history Unknown command with the /history command as an example. Is there something more to it than just typing /history 5? If it helps, I'm connecting to my bouncer which is connected to the local bitlbee instance using irssi as the local client.

Hi, I had this issue with using the / commands thru bitlbee a few months ago, and I was told here that it wasn't possible to issue any / commands to the slack plugin from bitlbee, it only works with Pidgin plugin.

Darn, that's unfortunate :(

Thanks for letting me know!

In case other people find themselves here, here's what I ended up doing: In ZNC (the bouncer), I disabled Autoclear buffer and increased the buffer size. So everytime I connect, I get the last w/e number of messages I set it to. It doesn't help in the immediate need, but over time it effectively does what I want it to do.
