Channel notifications

[varazir]

I would love to have a notification when a channel get highlighted

[murgo]

Umm, what do you mean? Like if someone says the channel name?

[ledakis]

Maybe @varazir means when there is activity in a channel (and as a result gets highlighted in the bottom bar in irssi). I am also after this. Got an almost silent channel and want to get notifications if someone talks in that channel only.

[varazir]

@murgo No when someone say something in the channel.

@ledakis ya what's I'm looking for

You can make irssi highlight on any message in a channel. /hilight -mask -channels #test * should do it.

[varazir]

@d7415 I tried that but it didn't work. + Purple Hangouts plugin for Bitlbee has support for group chats, it creates a new channel so I can't keep adding a highlight for each( if it had worked)

[d7415]

Interesting. That worked when I tested it. It might help @ledakis anyway. It's possible that it'd even work without the -channels #test part which would highlight on everything, but that might make an irssi dev cry...

[ledakis]

Yes it has worked for me, thanks @d7415!

[varazir]

Strange, I have to look into why it's not working for me. @ledakis so you have any scripts irssinotification ofc ? Can you post your ignore/hide settings?

[ledakis]

I have elist only. On that particular channel I am ignoring JOINS PARTS QUITS NICKS. And have highlighted the channel with the command above by @d7415 .

[varazir]

@ledakis I have a lot more, autochannel,crapbuster,smartfilter,hide and some others but I don't think they will affect this.

[varazir]

Removed the scripts still I can't get anything to be highlighted in the channel... it's a irssi problem more so I'm going to ask in #irssi

[varazir]

I solved the higlighting problem. I hadn't set it to highlight PUBLIC level. case closed.
