Shortcut/alias for hubot in MUCs possible? #116

Closed ghost closed 7 years ago

ghost commented 7 years ago

Hi,

not really an "issue" but I know from other bot engines that it is possible to "call" the bot not only by its name but with a "shortcut", example:

Instead of MyBot ship it it is possible to execute the same with ! ship it so ! is an alias for MyBot (and no need to type the bot name in MUCs).

I thought HUBOT_XMPP_PM_ADD_PREFIX enables such a shortcut but honestly I don't understand what HUBOT_XMPP_PM_ADD_PREFIX does. If HUBOT_XMPP_PM_ADD_PREFIX enables a hubot alias it doesn't work in my case (neither in MUC nor in single chat).

Thx in advance for any help sj7

You should be able to use the alias options of hubot to do this.

Thx @markstory - "-l", "--alias ALIAS", "Enable replacing the robot's name with alias" works great. Just * does not work as alias.
