CoinCoin plugin

What is Coincoin?

This is a plugin for the purple library, which allow to connect to a DaCode board, to read and send messages on it.

The default board used by prpl-coincoin is linuxfr.org/board., which popularized this kind of chat among a few french communities.

Other softwares support this kind of board, like Templeet or Da Portative Bouchot.

You can find a (non-exhaustive) list of boards on this page (look at the "tribune" links).

A board has an unique chat space, so prpl-coincoin creates at connection an unique channel "board".

How to install it

Compile prpl-coincoin and copy the libcoincoin.so file to /usr/lib/purple-2/:

make ENABLE_PLUGIN=ON [ENABLE_MINBIF=OFF]
make install

Then, use your favorite purple client (for example Minbif), and the module is automatically loaded.

How to use it

Create a new account, and select the CoinCoin plugin. Then, you need to give
this settings:
  • Username: your login[@server] on board (if the @server part is not given, defauts to linuxfr.org board)
  • Password: locate your cookies for the website (from your browser), and put them here, separated by semi-colons (;)

Full example for a custom Da Portative Bouchot board:

/MAP ADD coincoin md5=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx;unique_id=yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy -board /remote.xml -post /index.php/add

You're connected

The status channel is always created in minbif, but always empty for coincoin accounts, as this system as no presence information.

The board channel is automatically created, and you can chat!

Features

Helper for readability

Your IRC client, unlike other coincoin clients, doesn't hilight referenced message when you put your mouse on a timestamp. To increase readability, prpl-coincoin adds the sender nickname of the referenced message before the timestamp

For example, if there are two messages with timestamp:

10:23:09 <blah> hey guys
10:28:43 <ho> 10:23:09 f0ck you

the last message is replaced with:

10:28:43 <ho> blah: 10:23:09 f0ck you
