Cinch-CleverBotRedux

Description

A very simple plugin which provides an interface between the Cleverbot webserver, and Cinch. It comes with a number of features, including the option for Channel operators to disable the bot's CleverBot functions for that specific channel.

Usage

The following commands are available:

!disablechatter
This command, when used by anyone with Voice or higher,
will disable the bot's CleverBot interface on that specific channel.

!enablechatter
This is used to re-enable the bot's CleverBot interface on said channel. 
It has the same permissions as the disable command.

!globaldisable
This command can only be used by the botmaster (This must be changed in the plugin's coding. 
I made sure that it's easy to fight, right up top.)
This command will globally disable the CleverBot interface.

!globalenable
This command contains the same permissions as globaldisable. 
It is used to re-enable the interface. 
Please note that this will not reset any restriction that a channel operator has imposed on the bot
with the previous commands.

Install the gem and load it in your Cinch bot:

require 'cinch'
require 'cinch/plugins/cleverbotredux'

bot = Cinch::Bot.new do
  configure do |c|
  c.nick = 'cleverBot'
  c.user = 'pcc31'
  c.server = 'irc.example.org'
  c.channels = ['#example']
  c.plugins.plugins = [CleverBotRedux]
  c.plugins.options = {
    CleverBotRedux => {
      :pesternetwork => false,
      :defaultnick => c.nick
      }
    }
    end
  end
$end

bot.start

Note that you can pass the 'pesternetwork' argument, and the 'defaultnick' argument. This is for users of the Pesterchum irc server, that uses a different structure and a lot of colour codes. If you intend to use this with pesterchum, set this value to true, and also make sure that c.user is set to pcc31.
