| Summary | 0002329: "Variables" in MOTD. | ||||
| Description | I was wondering whether it would be possible to introduce a number of variables to the MOTD, etc so you could do something like: ircd.motd: Welcome to %SERVNAME% on %NETWORKNAME%. The current server time is %SERVTIME%... You get the idea. The problem I can forsee is that it would have to be processed on every /motd for things like SERVTIME :/ | ||||

Why? You don't know the name of your own server/network? |
|
|
I was more thinking for remote MOTDs, so you could just go something like: This is %SERVNAME% on netronet. Your admin is %ADMINNAME% .. etc. |
|
|
Do we even have remote MOTDs? I don't remember one being able to use a URL in tld{}... though I suppose cron+wget+kill -hup ircd can have this affect. But in that case you're already using a shell script to wget the conf and sighup the ircd, might as well use sed to do the variable stuff in the shell script... |
|
|
I thought we did have remote motds... If we don't, I guess I'll have to request that too ;p |
|
|
0001507 Seeing as it's still "open" I'm assuming that no, remote including of MOTDs don't exist... :p *edit* Cursed URL whacker */edit* |

I don't even really see the point of including the servername in the motd. When you type /motd the first line you see is: - SERVERNAMEHERE Message of the Day - So there is no reason to include that, it's already shown! The network name should be the same on all servers, so that can be hard-coded into an MOTD. The current time, well I don't see how that is useful in an MOTD, but in any case, that's what the /time command is for. And for admin name, there is /admin. I just don't quite see how this is really all that useful. |

I could leave this over forever, but the bottom line is that neither me nor codemastr see a useful purpose for this and thus won't be coding it :P. So I'll just close it now ;) |
