Title: Log Channel
Post by: revolver on April 20, 2007, 02:23:08 PM
Hello there.
 
  Logs sent to the LogChan as defined in the services.conf . This is a great feature by Anope Team. But can the team make it look more tidy and colorful? i know my request seems like neostats but i know anope have their own trademark and style :P

Can u make it shorter and easy to read? coz i luv to sitting in front my pc and reading the log. But sometimes , it makes me dizzy because it's messy. And it's hard to differentiate the operserv command , nickserv command , loguser command since the color is the same.

Sorry . My english is bad. But this is my ultimate request. Can it be done by a module or by changing the anope core? I hope the anope team will reply this topic.

p/s : thanx to katsklaw for believing in me ;)

because the "log system" in anope is nothing more then messages programmed to be send by the programmer... so basically  to do what you r suggesting, almost all source code files would have to be changed... not even mentionning yet that what is send to the logchan is also send to the logfile.. and textviewers don't interpret the color codes used on irc, so would end up being unreadable.

and even if you d work around that.. i don't need my logchan to be a color book :r

I wouldn't call colors per se 'more tidy and user friendly'. I can assure that by default, Anope will not output colors. However, in the future it will be possible to create modules which color the logchan for you in an easy way.

ooo i see.
it's ok about the colors. ( if there's a module , that would be great! )
But about the log message.

If the anope could arrange the word to make it one line or make it more tidy.
it would be such an honour. Hehe.
that's my suggestion.

thanx. :P

<GlobalNoticer> OperServ: Operator: help
<GlobalNoticer> NickServ: Nick User has been requested
<GlobalNoticer> NickServ: group User has been created
<GlobalNoticer> NickServ: 'User' registered by example@127.0.0.1 (e-mail: example@blablabla.com)
<GlobalNoticer> Host Request for Use activated by Operator
<GlobalNoticer> ChanServ: Channel '#example' registered by User!example@127.0.0.1

This is what we see on the LogChannel. I have a suggestion to make it more 'organized' and easier to understand.

All services clients (ChanServ, NickServ, BotServ, OperServ etc.) could join the log channel, and each service would send your own messages. Example:

<OperServ> Operator: help
<NickServ>  Nick User has been requested
<NickServ> group User has been created
<NickServ> 'User' registered by example@127.0.0.1 (e-mail: example@blablabla.com)
<HostServ> Host Request for Use activated by Operator
<ChanServ> Channel '#example' registered by User!example@127.0.0.1

Firstly on most IRCd's the services clients DONT need to join the channel to send messages to it. There are some IRCd's where that is necesary though.

Secondly, the same problem with colouring the log messages occours with what youre asking.

Thirdly, since the same messages are sent to the log file as are sent to the log channel, where yould you put the nick in the log file.

The log channel, like the log file is designed more to be computer readable, yes sending from the *Serv to which the message applies would help with that but at the same time it causes issues with what is written to the log file.
