show who is on IRC from discord and vice versa

[ask-compu]

you should add commands so people on discord can see who is on IRC and vice versa, it would also be nice to see IRC nick changes, joins, quits, and parts from discord, maybe make it an option to show or hide such messages

You can do the other way around easily by enabling discord widgets. This would allow you to have a window open with the people active on discord on it. If you use a webbased irc client like irccloud you can even make a userscript and append it to the userlist.

that is not ideal and doesnt address showing whos on irc from the discord side

[creesch]

I realize that, I was just giving a suggestion that works until such commands as you asked for are implemented.

[dwhagar]

Showing who is on the IRC side can be done via a /names command, the response from that shows all nicks in the channel. A subsequent /who commands on each nick can give more information, but the /names should provide all the information one would need.

@dwhagar but u cant do /names and /who through the bridge from discord

[dwhagar]

Yes but the bridge could relay the commands and process the responses.

@dwhagar that could work but it might be best to give the response in PM on either end so it doesnt spam the channel/server

[dwhagar]

I agree I have an IRC bot written in python3 that processes names and who responses.

@dwhagar just click on my profile and look for the compubot repository

I got it working one way. Discord is showing a list of people in IRC in the subject of a channel by changing bot.js in the following matter.

Add to the attachListeners section of the Bot class:

    // When a list of names on a channel is received on IRC set the topic on the corresponding Discord channel to a list of those names
    this.ircClient.on('names', (channel, nicks) => {
      _winston2.default.debug('Names:', channel, ' Nicks:', Object.keys(nicks).join(', '));
      this.setTopicDiscord(channel,`Online at IRC: ${Object.keys(nicks).join(', ')}`);
    });

    // Trigger requesting a list of names on a IRC channel
    this.ircClient.on('join', (channel, nick, message) => {
      if (nick !== this.nickname) {
        _winston2.default.debug('Join:', channel, nick);
        this.checkIrcNames(channel);
      }
    });

    this.ircClient.on('part', (channel, nick, reason, message) => {
      if (nick !== this.nickname) {
        _winston2.default.debug('Part: ', channel, nick);
        this.checkIrcNames(channel);
      }
    });

    this.ircClient.on('quit', (nick,reason,channels,message) => {
      _winston2.default.debug('Quit: ', nick, 'from', Object.keys(channels).join(', '));
      channels.forEach(channel => {
          this.checkIrcNames(channel);
        });
    });

    this.ircClient.on('kick', (channel,nick,by,reason,message) => {
      _winston2.default.debug('Kick: ', channel, nick);
      this.checkIrcNames(channel);
    });

Add to the bot class. For example right before the last } symbol in the file:

  // Request a list of names from a channel on IRC
  checkIrcNames(channel) {
      _winston2.default.debug('Request names: ', channel);
      this.ircClient.send('names',channel);
  }

  // Update a topic in Discord based on the corresponding channel name on IRC
  setTopicDiscord(channel, topic) {
    const discordChannelName = this.invertedMapping[channel.toLowerCase()];
    if (discordChannelName) {
      // #channel -> channel before retrieving:
      const discordChannel = this.discord.channels.find('name', discordChannelName.slice(1));

      if (!discordChannel) {
        _winston2.default.info('Tried to change topic of a channel the bot isn\'t in: ', discordChannelName);
        return;
      }

      _winston2.default.debug('Changing topic in Discord:', discordChannelName, topic);
      discordChannel.setTopic(topic);
    }
  }

[ask-compu]

the topic has limited character length on IRC and is used for other things in pretty much every registered channel ever

[LordAlderaan]

Good points both. Neither are an issue where I personally use discord-irc and created this tweak. I simply thought I might as well share my code as a step in finding and creating a more robust solution.
