Why not make it so the user can make their own custom message. I wouldn't want to tell people to go **** themselves.

I think you're in the wrong room ;)

Out of curiousity, is there a need to set a %tab variable, since each tab has its'own id?

Rated and clicked :)

your did -fu $dname is missing a dialog id number

When you use the -x flag you only need to name the dialog once, and in fact, the way you have that at the moment you can just use did -x $dname

The dialog -ma test test is fine, except what if the dialog is already open? You'll get an (ugly imo) error message.Check to see if the dialog is open using an $iif

alias _test dialog $iif($dialog(test),-x,-ma test) test

You shouldn't really have a need for one since the info re the state of the check box is being recognised on init. To refresh while the dialog is open just use

On ^*:MODE:#:if ($dialog(test)) $dioc(%channel)

You could play around with these $iifs too if you felt like it.

did $iif(m isincs $chan(%channel).mode,-c,-u) test 38

mode $chan $iif(m isincs $chan(%channel).mode,+m,-m)

if ($active !ischan) return

I know there is noting suckier than someone telling you to read the help file, but the dialog part of the help file covers alot of good stuff.

There's no need for the f flag either as -c will check the box
I used to use:

alias _load.modes {
  if ($active !ischan) return
  var %mc = $chan($active).mode
  if (m isincs %mc) did -c _options 52 
  if (N isincs %mc) did -c _options 78
  if (I isincs %mc) did -c _options 43 
  if (R isincs %mc) did -c _options 44 
  if (L isincs %mc) did -c _options 45 
  if (f isincs %mc) did -c _options 46 
  if (G isincs %mc) did -c _options 76 
  if (C isincs %mc) did -c _options 77 
  if (n isincs %mc) did -c _options 71 
  if (t isincs %mc) did -c _options 70 
  if (Q isincs %mc) did -c _options 81
  if (c isincs %mc) did -c _options 73 
  if (M isincs %mc) did -c _options 82
  if (T isincs %mc) did -c _options 79
  if (j isincs %mc) did -c _options 60 
  if (w isincs %mc) did -c _options 61 
  if (p isincs %mc) did -c _options 80
  if (l isincs %mc) did -i _options 84 1 * $gettok(%mc,-1,32)
  if (K isincs %mc) did -c  _options 72 
  if (R isincs %mc) did -c _options 74 
}

but even then I don't like it, it's too long and messy for such basic code. $iif would work just as well to clean it up as well.

menu * {
joining dialog:/dialog -ma test test

You're missing a closing bracket. I'd think twice about assigning the * to all the popups, plus, when you're not connected you don't need to see the dialog on the popup menu..

A cleaner way to open the dialog would be to use an $iif so as you don't get "the dialog already in use error message by using:

 dialog $iif($dialog(test),-x,-m test) test 

set %channel $active 

What if the $active window was the status window?
if ($active ischan) or if ($active == $chan) can sort that out nicely. then you can use a return if the $active window isn't the #channel

When using dialog flags you can condense control id's, for example:

did -h test 63,64,65,66

Can be:

did -h test 63-66

makes it neater and you can also separate clumps with a comma like 63-66,74-82 etc

This is correct:

05:30pm                • Vista

Though I am running Windows 7 ultimate 64bit.

I'm probably just being pedantic, bbut I'd much rather use $chr(3) $chr(2) & $chr(31) respectively to bold, underline or colour text. Still a neat little snippet.

Is it working for you now?

How old would the topic be? Look at RAWS 331-333 and have a look there for possible errors/conflicts.

RAW 331:*:{
  haltdef
  echo -tm No topic has been set for $2 $+ .
}
RAW 332:*:{ 
  haltdef
  echo -tm $2 The chat's topic is: $strip($3-)
}
RAW 333:*:{
  haltdef 
 echo -tm Set by $3 at $asctime($4, hh:nntt dd/mm/yy) $+ .
}

If you right click in the status or a channel window the options to use it will be available.

If the allinfo alias wasn't local (-l) you could type //allinfo to get the info.

Isn't that an English idiom? I think it means what's good for you may not be good for others. To each our own, I reckon?

Yes, that is correct. I was wondering if it would sound weird lol

Fordlawnmower posted a comprehensive one two days ago.

use the -m flag on you timer for milliseconds.

@Hawkee Hi Hawkee, and you're welcome. It just made me quite mad. Russel is a genius, and like so many ppl on sites such as these, they volunteer their time to help ppl learn etc so it really pissed me off to see this guy not only claim Russel's work as their own but then had the nerver to tell us not rip his work!!

PS - I should remove a snippet I posted then. It was not written by me, but I gave the author 100% credit plus he gave me permission to share it. The reson being I find it such a helpful alias and wanted to share it with my peers.

Touche ;)

space between else and if (Redundant either way)

Ummm, /youtube but the alias is "yt" so shouldn't the trigger be /yt

also got > * Invalid format: $replace (line 230, script7.mrc)
Which is:

echo -a Searching YouTube for $replace($replace(%ytsearch,$left(%ytsearch,1),$upper($left(%ytsearch,1))),$asc(43),$null $+ ...

else if ($1 == $null) { echo nothing entered, halting | halt }
would look nicer as:

 elseif (!$1) echo -at No query entered. 

Chill out, man. Horses for courses. I'm new to hash stuff, but it's way faster to process.
