Summary0003093: Official-Channel with static topic
DescriptionI know that there is the chanserv, but i dont like it to have to install it just because i want to have static channel description.

It would be really nice, if you add in
official-channels {
    "#channel" { topic "The default topic"; };
};

the following

official-channels {
"#channel" {
topic "The default topic";
static; // the topic will stay even if users join
modes nrt; //modes the channel has by default
};
};

As i know this wouldnt be that hard to code, and this would really help.

Is it possible for you to provide a patch?

Apparently we already have an official-channels block, just lacking the topic option. Maybe we could sneak this in soon

Can't you do all these with ChanServ already or i lost something?

That depends on services. Maybe the modes don't need to be supported, but I can understand wanting topic retention. It seems like a good idea to me.

There was a feature request for server-side mode locking of channels, http://bugs.unrealircd.org/view.php?id=3055 , so that and this have some relationship.
Locking the modes on an official channel with the official channel block might be helpful during netsplits.

Sure this is a job for IRCd? TOPICLOCK, services?

And we're not lacking the topic option as far as i can see.

In UnrealIRCd 4 we have +P channels. In UnrealIRCd 5 this is enhanced by saving and restoring all modes (including bans/exempts/invex), topic, etc to a database so they persist between restarts and crashes.

I think this can be closed and.. official-channels could actually be deprecated. Just set the channel +P and configure it how it needs to be on IRC itself. Quite nice..
