Tox-WeeChat
===========
Tox-WeeChat is a C plugin for the [WeeChat][1] chat client that enables it to connect to the [Tox][2] network. It is functional, but fairly limited in features for now. Bug reports and suggestions are appreciated.
[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/haavardp/tox-weechat.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/haavardp/tox-weechat)
Installation
------------
Tox-WeeChat requires [libtoxcore][3] (and WeeChat) to work. After getting them, install Tox-WeeChat like this:
$ git clone https://github.com/haavardp/tox-weechat.git
$ cd tox-weechat
$ mkdir build && cd build
$ cmake -DHOME_FOLDER_INSTALL=ON ..
$ make
$ make install
This installs the plugin binary `tox.so` in the recommended location `~/.weechat/plugins`. To install the plugin somewhere else, replace the cmake command above with either of these:
- To install to `/usr/local/lib/weechat/plugins`: `cmake ..`
- To install to `/usr/lib/weechat/plugins`: `cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr ..`
- To install a custom path: `cmake -DINSTALL_PATH=/some/path ..`
You may also need to `sudo make install`, depending on permissions.
Usage
-----
In WeeChat, load the plugin: `/plugin load tox`. In cases where WeeChat can't find the plugin, try specifying the full path to the binary. You should get a new buffer called tox. This is the core Tox buffer, where output from commands will appear.
- In WeeChat, load the plugin with `/plugin load tox`. If it fails, try specifying the full path to the binary.
- Create a new identity with `/tox add <name>`. The data file is created in `<WeeChat home>/tox/<name>` by default. Can be changed with `/set tox.identity.<name>.save_file`.
- Connect your new identity to the Tox network with `/tox connect <name>`.
The following commands must be executed on a Tox buffer:
- To change your name, `/name <new name>`.
- Get your Tox address with `/myaddress`.
- To add friends or respond to friend requests, `/help friend` will get you started.
- Message a friend with `/msg <friend number>`. Get their friend number with `/friend`.
A list of commands is available with `/help -list tox`.
TODO
----
- [x] Support multiple identities
- [ ] Preserve friend requests when closing
- [ ] Group chats
- [ ] Polish and reach a "stable" release
- [ ] Add autocomplete to all commands
