custom prompt options

[lmarkov]

Is there a way to configure more detailed prompt information? Using this options:

##  configure your promt using %u or %h (default: username)
prompt          : "%u@%h"

##  set sort prompt current directory update (default: 0)
prompt_short    : 1

the path looks like:

root@myserver: public_html$ pwd
/home/myuser/public_html

I want to see the information from pwd for example:

root@myserver: /home/myuser/public_html$ 

Is it possible?

The reference point is the home directory of the user. It is not possible to do this with the current code. I will set this as wishlist. If you have time to propose a patch. ;)

I added this:

#in
def updateprompt(self, path):

# new condition
elif self.conf['prompt_short'] == 2:
            self.prompt = '%s:%s:$ ' % (self.promptbase, os.getcwd())

In my configuration file I use:

set sort prompt current directory update (default: 0)

 prompt_short    : 2

In my configuration this works for me.

Hello,

Is there option to see the path for symlink instead the real path. For example I have symlink in directory /home/myuser

access-logs -> /usr/local/apache/domlogs/myuser

and when I enter with:

cd access-logs

the result in pwd is

/usr/local/apache/domlogs/jadoreb

instead:

/home/myuser/access-logs

Can you suggest a solution?

@lmarkov I have opened a new issue here: https://github.com/ghantoos/lshell/issues/134

I will need to look into this bug, as what you are asking is currently not possible to achieve.

Thanks for the report!
