« on: January 10, 2007, 01:39:20 PM »

Greetings From Greece,

I like your BIG work on the services thing and applaud you. Many thanks to all your team members who "kill theirselves in work"!!! I was wandering if anyone could tell me HOW am i gonna register this channel ( " # " ) ? It says, it can't be registered and i want desperately to be able to register it :'(
Can anyone help me, please? :(

Many thanks in advance...!

almost impossible since this is a restriction checked for almost everywhere in the core, no module can help that...

Viper you are incorrect, a the # is trapped down in cs_register now, a custom mod of that could be made to allow # to be registered.

It is disallowed due to # is a html special character and thus interfers with web interfaces.

so, with the proper module, it could become able to register the " # " channel....

right...... is there any module created yet for that reason or can anyone make it?

thanks again....

hmmm so anope_valid_chan() doesn't filter # ?

in that case yeh it s possible... and relatively easy to accomplish..

It's not registerable because various core functions of Anope and a number of IRCd's and clients had issues with the channel # if i recall correctly. It has nothing to do with it being a HTML special character or anything.

oddily enough I had a conversation with dengle about this and how # would mess things up with phpanope, moments later Certus or Dengle commited the change

     } else if (!stricmp(chan, "#")) {
        notice_lang(s_ChanServ, u, CHAN_MAY_NOT_BE_REGISTERED, chan);

there is the one line i cs_register that cares about it being only #

anope_valid_chan() was added to fix a bug generated by unreal that some channels can not be registered, thus it checks to make sure that its not one of those

so, Trystan, you say that it is possible to register it by altering the core or something, GeniusDex (Anope Developer ) says that it is impossible to do it, to alter the core....
ok, now who am i supposed to believe? :P

as a former Anope developer I can tell you that if you copy cs_register.c from core and rename it, to say.. cs_register_special.c and find the line where the thing checks for the channel name being only # it will work.

There are NO other checks in the core code for # being there, so just don't load anope's default cs_register and load your cs_register_special and there you go you can now register channels that are only #

comment the line stating:
else if (!stricmp(chan, "#")) {
        notice_lang(s_ChanServ, u, CHAN_MAY_NOT_BE_REGISTERED, chan);
    }

next, you will need to unload the core "cs_register" module, after that load your module "cs_register_special" or whatever you named it. *bingo*
