keeakita / teleirc-rewrite Goto Github PK

Currently, the way this plugin works is by rewriting the raw IRC string received by the server. So a PRIVMSG from the bot is rewritten to a PRIVMSG from an IRC user with a nick equal to their telegram name. This causes a problem however, in that WeeChat will drop a PRIVMSG to a channel if the sending user is not in the channel. This means that right now, you can only see messages from people:

1. In both telegram and IRC, simultaneously
2. With the same IRC nick as their Telegram Username

A possible emergency patch to stop messages from being dropped is to check if the user is in the channel before rewriting.

A possible fix is to either find a way to tell weechat not to drop the "invalid" messages, or to find some other hook at the display level rather than the message level.
