Channel¶
Purpose¶
Basic channel management commands. Many of these commands require their caller to have the #channel,op capability. This plugin is loaded by default.
Usage¶
This plugin provides various commands for channel management, such as setting modes and channel-wide bans/ignores/capabilities. This is a core Supybot plugin that should not be removed!
Commands¶
alert [<channel>] <text>
Sends <text> to all the users in <channel> who have the <channel>,op capability.
ban add [<channel>] <nick|hostmask> [<expires>]
If you have the #channel,op capability, this will effect a persistent ban from interacting with the bot on the given <hostmask> (or the current hostmask associated with <nick>). Other plugins may enforce this ban by actually banning users with matching hostmasks when they join. <expires> is an optional argument specifying when (in “seconds from now”) the ban should expire; if none is given, the ban will never automatically expire. <channel> is only necessary if the message isn’t sent in the channel itself.
ban hostmask [<channel>] <banmask>
Bans the <banmask> from the <channel>.
ban list [<channel>] [<mask>]
If you have the #channel,op capability, this will show you the current persistent bans on the <channel> that match the given mask, if any (returns all of them otherwise). Note that you can use * as a wildcard on masks and * to match actual * in masks
ban remove [<channel>] <hostmask>
If you have the #channel,op capability, this will remove the persistent ban on <hostmask>. <channel> is only necessary if the message isn’t sent in the channel itself.
capability add [<channel>] <nick|username> <capability> [<capability> ...]
If you have the #channel,op capability, this will give the <username> (or the user to whom <nick> maps) the capability <capability> in the channel. <channel> is only necessary if the message isn’t sent in the channel itself.
capability list [<channel>]
Returns the capabilities present on the <channel>. <channel> is only necessary if the message isn’t sent in the channel itself.
capability remove [<channel>] <name|hostmask> <capability> [<capability> ...]
If you have the #channel,op capability, this will take from the user currently identified as <name> (or the user to whom <hostmask> maps) the capability <capability> in the channel. <channel> is only necessary if the message isn’t sent in the channel itself.
capability set [<channel>] <capability> [<capability> ...]
If you have the #channel,op capability, this will add the channel capability <capability> for all users in the channel. <channel> is only necessary if the message isn’t sent in the channel itself.
capability setdefault [<channel>] {True|False}
If you have the #channel,op capability, this will set the default response to non-power-related (that is, not {op, halfop, voice}) capabilities to be the value you give. <channel> is only necessary if the message isn’t sent in the channel itself.
capability unset [<channel>] <capability> [<capability> ...]
If you have the #channel,op capability, this will unset the channel capability <capability> so each user’s specific capability or the channel default capability will take precedence. <channel> is only necessary if the message isn’t sent in the channel itself.
cycle [<channel>] [<reason>]
If you have the #channel,op capability, this will cause the bot to “cycle”, or PART and then JOIN the channel. <channel> is only necessary if the message isn’t sent in the channel itself. If <reason> is not specified, the default part message specified in supybot.plugins.Channel.partMsg will be used. No part message will be used if neither a cycle reason nor a default part message is given.
dehalfop [<channel>] [<nick> ...]
If you have the #channel,op capability, this will remove half-operator privileges from all the nicks given. If no nicks are given, removes half-operator privileges from the person sending the message.
deop [<channel>] [<nick> ...]

disable [<channel>] [<plugin>] [<command>]
If you have the #channel,op capability, this will disable the <command> in <channel>. If <plugin> is provided, <command> will be disabled only for that plugin.

Configuration¶
- supybot.plugins.Channel.alwaysRejoin
This config variable defaults to “True”, is network-specific, and is channel-specific.
Determines whether the bot will always try to rejoin a channel whenever it’s kicked from the channel.
- supybot.plugins.Channel.nicksInPrivate
This config variable defaults to “True”, is network-specific, and is channel-specific.
Determines whether the output of ‘nicks’ will be sent in private. This prevents mass-highlights of a channel’s users, accidental or on purpose.
- supybot.plugins.Channel.partMsg
This config variable defaults to “Limnoria $version”, is network-specific, and is channel-specific.
Determines what part message should be used by default. If the part command is called without a part message, this will be used. If this value is empty, then no part message will be used (they are optional in the IRC protocol). The standard substitutions ($version, $nick, etc.) are all handled appropriately.
- supybot.plugins.Channel.public
This config variable defaults to “True”, is not network-specific, and is not channel-specific.
Determines whether this plugin is publicly visible.
- supybot.plugins.Channel.rejoinDelay
This config variable defaults to “0”, is network-specific, and is channel-specific.
Determines how many seconds the bot will wait before rejoining a channel if kicked and supybot.plugins.Channel.alwaysRejoin is on.
