<h3><a name=intro>Introduction</a></h3>
|
|
Plugins for HexChat are written in C. The interface aims to keep 100%
|
|
binary compatability. This means that if you upgrade HexChat, you will
|
|
not need to recompile your plugins, they'll continue to work. The
|
|
interface doesn't depend on any structures and offsets, so compiler
|
|
versions shouldn't have an impact either. The only real requirement of
|
|
an HexChat plugin, is that it define a "xchat_plugin_init" symbol. This
|
|
is your entry point function, see the example below. You should make
|
|
all your global variables and functions <i>static</i>, so that a symbol
|
|
is not exported. There is no harm in exporting these symbols, but they
|
|
are not necessary and only pollute the name-space. Plugins are compiled as shared objects
|
|
(.so files), for example:
|
|
<br><br>
|
|
Most UNIX systems:<pre>
|
|
gcc -Wl,--export-dynamic -Wall -O1 -shared -fPIC myplugin.c -o myplugin.so
|
|
</pre>
|
|
MacOSX:<pre>
|
|
gcc -no-cpp-precomp -g -O2 -Wall -bundle -flat_namespace -undefined suppress -o myplugin.so myplugin.c
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
See the <a href="#win32">Windows section</a> on how to compile a plugin
|
|
using visual studio.
|
|
<p>
|
|
All strings passed to and from plugins are encoded in UTF-8, regardless
|
|
of locale. <a href="#unicode">What does this mean</a>?
|
|
</p><br>
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name=sample>Sample plugin</a></h3>
|
|
This simple plugin autoOps anyone who joins a channel you're in. It also
|
|
adds a new command /AUTOOPTOGGLE, which can be used to turn the feature ON
|
|
or OFF. Every HexChat plugin must define an xchat_plugin_init function, this
|
|
is the normal entry point. xchat_plugin_deinit is optional.

<h3><a name=word>What's word and word_eol?</a></h3>
|
|
|
|
They are arrays of strings. They contain the parameters the user entered
|
|
for the particular command. For example, if you executed:
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
/command NICK hi there
|
|
|
|
word[1] is command
|
|
word[2] is NICK
|
|
word[3] is hi
|
|
word[4] is there
|
|
|
|
word_eol[1] is command NICK hi there
|
|
word_eol[2] is NICK hi there
|
|
word_eol[3] is hi there
|
|
word_eol[4] is there
|
|
</pre>
|
|
These arrays are simply provided for your convenience. You are NOT allowed
|
|
to alter them. Both arrays are limited to 32 elements (index 31). word[0] and
|
|
word_eol[0] are reserved and should not be read.
|
|

|
|
<h3><a name=lists>Lists and Fields</a></h3>
|
|
Lists of information (DCCs, Channels, Userlist etc) can be retreived
|
|
with xchat_list_get. All fields are READ ONLY and must be copied if
|
|
needed for a long time after calling xchat_list_str. The types of lists and fields available are:

<h3><a name=win32>Plugins on Windows (Win32)</a></h3>
|
|
Yes, it can be done. All you need is either
|
|
<a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/visualc/vctoolkit2003/">MSVC</a> (Visual Studio) or
|
|
<a href="http://www.mingw.org">MINGW</a>, both these compilers are free to download.
|
|
Simply compile your plugin as a DLL. You should have the following files:
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><a href="https://github.com/hexchat/hexchat/blob/master/plugins/hexchat-plugin.h">hexchat-plugin.h</a> - Main Plugin header</li>
|
|
<li>plugin.c - Your plugin, you need to write this one :)</li>
|
|
<li>plugin.def - A simple text file containing the following:</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<div class=box>
|
|
EXPORTS<br>
|
|
xchat_plugin_init<br>
|
|
xchat_plugin_deinit<br>
|
|
xchat_plugin_get_info<br>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<br>Leave out <i>xchat_plugin_deinit</i> if you don't intend to define that
|
|
function. Then, to compile, type this at your command prompt:<br><br>
|
|
<div class=bbox>
|
|
<font color="#00FF00">MSVC</font>
|
|
<br> cl -O1 -MD -G5 -DWIN32 -c plugin.c<br>
|
|
<br> link /DLL /out:plugin.dll /SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS plugin.obj /def:plugin.def /base:0x00d40000
|
|
<br><br>
|
|
<font color="#00FF00">GCC (MINGW)</font>
|
|
<br> gcc -Wall -Os -DWIN32 -c plugin.c<br>
|
|
<br> dllwrap --def plugin.def --dllname plugin.dll plugin.o<br><br>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<br>For a complete example, have a look at the source code of the <a href="http://xchat.org/win32/testing/xcdns-src.zip">DNS Plugin</a>, which also contains a Makefile.
|
|
<br><br>
|
|
<font color=red>Caveat:</font> Plugins compiled on Win32 MUST have a
|
|
global variable called <b>ph</b>, which is the plugin_handle, much like
|
|
in the <a href="#sample">sample plugin</a> above.

<h3><a name=gui>Controlling the GUI</a></h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
A simple way to perform basic GUI functions is to use the /GUI command.
|
|
You can execute this command through the input-box, or by calling
|
|
xchat_command(ph, "GUI .....");.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<table border=0 cellpadding=4>
|
|
<tr><td>GUI ATTACH</td><td>Same function as "Attach Window" in the HexChat menu (new for 2.6.2).</td></tr>
|
|
<tr><td>GUI DETACH</td><td>Same function as "Detach Tab" in the HexChat menu (new for 2.6.2).</td></tr>
|
|
<tr><td>GUI APPLY</td><td>Similar to clicking OK in the settings window. Execute this after /SET to activate GUI changes (new for 2.8.0)</td></tr>
|
|
<tr><td>GUI COLOR <i>n</i></td><td>Change the tab color of the current context, where n is a number from 0 to 3.</td></tr>
|
|
<tr><td>GUI FOCUS</td><td>Focus the current window or tab.</td></tr>
|
|
<tr><td>GUI FLASH</td><td>Flash the taskbar button. It will flash only if the window isn't focused and will stop when it is focused by the user.</td></tr>
|
|
<tr><td>GUI HIDE</td><td>Hide the main HexChat window completely (this is used by the Systray plugin).</td></tr>
|
|
<tr><td>GUI ICONIFY</td><td>Iconify (minimize to taskbar) the current HexChat window.</td></tr>
|
|
<tr><td>GUI MSGBOX <i>text</i></td><td>Displays a asynchronous message box with your text (new for 2.4.5).</td></tr>
|
|
<tr><td>GUI SHOW</td><td>Show the main HexChat window (if currently hidden).</td></tr>
|
|
</table>
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Note, the FLASH, ICONIFY and COLOR args were added in xchat 2.0.8, they
|
|
will not work with previous versions.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<a name=menu>Starting from 2.4.5 you can add your own items to the menu bar. The menu command has this syntax</a>:
|
|
<pre>
|
|
MENU [-eX] [-i<ICONFILE>] [-k<mod>,<key>] [-m] [-pX] [-rX,group] [-tX] {ADD|DEL} <path> [command] [unselect command]</pre>
|
|
For example:
|
|
<pre>
|
|
MENU -p5 ADD FServe
|
|
MENU ADD "FServe/Show File List" "fs list"
|
|
MENU ADD FServe/-
|
|
MENU -k4,101 -t1 ADD "FServe/Enabled" "fs on" "fs off"
|
|
MENU -e0 ADD "FServe/Do Something" "fs action"
|
|
</pre>
|
|
In the example above, it would be recommended to execute "MENU DEL FServe" inside your xchat_plugin_deinit function. The special item with name "-" will add a separator line.
|
|
<br><br>
|
|
Parameters and flags:
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<table border=1 cellpadding=4 rules=all>
|
|
<tr><td>-eX</td><td>Set enable flag to X. -e0 for disable, -e1 for enable. This lets you create a disabled (shaded) item.</td></tr>
|
|
<tr><td>-iFILE</td><td>Use an icon filename FILE (new for 2.8.0). Not supported for toggles or radio items.</td></tr>
|
|
<tr><td>-k<mod>,<key></td><td>Specify a keyboard shortcut. "mod" is the modifier which is a bitwise OR of: 1-SHIFT 4-CTRL 8-ALT in decimal. "key" is the key value in decimal, e.g. -k5,101 would specify SHIFT-CTRL-E.</td></tr>
|
|
<tr><td>-m</td><td>Specify that this label should be treated as <a href="http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/pango/PangoMarkupFormat.html">Pango Markup</a> language. Since forward slash ("/") is already used in menu paths, you should replace closing tags with an ASCII 003 instead e.g.: xchat_command(ph, "MENU -m ADD \"<b>Bold Menu<\003b>\""); (new for 2.6.6).</td></tr>
|
|
<tr><td>-pX</td><td>Specify a menu item's position number. e.g. -p5 will cause the item to be inserted in the 5th place. New for 2.8.0: If the position is a negative number, it will be used as an offset from the bottom/right-most item.</td></tr>
|
|
<tr><td>-rX,group</td><td>Specify a radio menu item, with initial state X and a group name (new for 2.8.0). The group name should be the exact label of another menu item (without the path) that this item will be grouped with. For radio items, only a select command will be executed (no unselect command).</td></tr>
|
|
<tr><td>-tX</td><td>Specify a toggle menu item with an initial state. -t0 for an "unticked" item and -t1 for a "ticked" item.</td></tr>
|
|
</table>
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
|
|
If you want to change an item's toggle state or enabled flag,
|
|
just ADD an item with exactly the same name and command and specify the -tX -eX parameters you need.
|
|
<br><br>It's also possible to add items to HexChat's existing menus, for example:<br>
|
|
<pre> MENU ADD "Settings/Sub Menu"
|
|
MENU -t0 ADD "Settings/Sub Menu/My Setting" myseton mysetoff
|
|
</pre>
|
|
However, internal names and layouts of HexChat's menu may change in the future, so use at own risk.
|
|
<br><br>
|
|
Here is an example of Radio items:
|
|
<pre> MENU ADD "Language"
|
|
MENU -r1,"English" ADD "Language/English" cmd1
|
|
MENU -r0,"English" ADD "Language/Spanish" cmd2
|
|
MENU -r0,"English" ADD "Language/German" cmd3</pre>
|
|
<br>
|
|
From 2.8.0, you can also change menus other than the main one (i.e popup menus). Currently they are:
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<table border=1 cellpadding=4 rules=all>
|
|
<tr bgcolor="#999999"><td>Root Name</td><td>Menu</td></tr>
|
|
<tr><td>$TAB</td><td>Tab menu (right click a channel/query tab or treeview row)</td></tr>
|
|
<tr><td>$TRAY</td><td>System Tray menu</td></tr>
|
|
<tr><td>$URL</td><td>URL link menu</td></tr>
|
|
<tr><td>$NICK</td><td>Userlist nick-name popup menu</td></tr>
|
|
<tr><td>$CHAN</td><td>Menu when clicking a channel in the text area (since 2.8.4)</td></tr>
|
|
|
|
</table>
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
Example: MENU -p0 ADD "$TAB/Cycle Channel" cycle
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
<a name=tray>Starting from 2.8.0 you can manipulate HexChat's system tray icon using the /TRAY command</a>:
|
|
<pre>
|
|
Usage:
|
|
TRAY -f <timeout> <file1> [<file2>] Flash tray between two icons. Leave off file2 to use default HexChat icon.
|
|
TRAY -f <filename> Set tray to a fixed icon.
|
|
TRAY -i <number> Flash tray with an internal icon.
|
|
<small>2=Message 5=Highlight 8=Private 11=File</small>
|
|
TRAY -t <text> Set the tray tooltip.
|
|
TRAY -b <title> <text> Set the tray balloon.
|
|
<small>Supported on Windows from 2.8.1 and 2.8.2 on Linux (libnotify required on Linux).</small>
|
|
</pre>
|
|
Filenames can be ICO or PNG format. PNG format is supported on Linux/BSD and Windows XP (but requires installation of GDI+ on Windows 2000). Set a timeout of -1 to use HexChat's default.
|
|
<br><br>
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name=unicode>Handling UTF-8/Unicode strings</a></h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The HexChat plugin API specifies that strings passed to and from HexChat must be encoded in UTF-8.
|
|
<br><br>
|
|
What does this mean for the plugin programmer? You just have to be a little careful when
|
|
passing strings obtained from IRC to system calls. For example, if you're writing a file-server
|
|
bot, someone might message you a filename. Can you pass this filename directly to open()? Maybe!
|
|
If you're lazy... The correct thing to do is to convert the string to "system locale encoding",
|
|
otherwise your plugin will fail on non-ascii characters.
|
|
<br><br>
|
|
Here are examples on how to do this conversion on Unix and Windows. In this example, someone will
|
|
CTCP you the message "SHOWFILE <filename>".
|
|
<br><br>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
static int ctcp_cb(char *word[], char *word_eol[], void *userdata)
