Cinch-Memo

The Cinch Memo Plugin. Store messages for users while they are away.

if you haven't already...

$ gem install cinch

then install this gem.

$ gem install cinch-memo

To setup the plugin to work with your cinch bot, we'll need to provide some info like so:

Cinch::Plugins::Memo::Base.configure do |c|
  c.store   = :redis          # data store
  c.host    = 'localhost'     # your host
  c.port    = '6709'          # your port
end

Currently, only Redis is available as a backend store.

• !memo [nick] [message] - stores the message for the user
• !memo? - returns memo's for your nick

The bot will also auto message a user on join of the channel if there are messages for that user.

It's simple. follow the guide on cinch or do something like:

# mybot.rb
require 'cinch'
require 'cinch/plugins/memo'

Cinch::Plugins::Memo::Base.configure do |c|
  c.store   = :redis          # data store
  c.host    = 'localhost'     # your host
  c.port    = '6709'          # your port
end

bot = Cinch::Bot.new do
  configure do |c|
    c.server           = "irc.freenode.net"
    c.nick             = "cinch"
    c.channels         = ["#padrino"]
    c.plugins.plugins  = [Cinch::Plugins::Memo::Base]
  end

end

bot.start

Finally, run your bot.

ruby -rubygems mybot.rb

And there you go!

• add auto deliver message functionality when you sign on.
• add rate limiting ability
• add additional backend stores.
• add some kind of auth mech
