[SOLVED] Custom context menus, how to pass context?

[dash9]

If I add an item to the $TAB or $CHAN context menus, how do I know, in the called function, which channel/server has been right-clicked?

You can't call functions directly, you can only specific commands to run. If those commands are created a script you can obvious call get_info and get_context. If it's a User Command then you can setup the command to pass %c

Ok, I understand that.

If those commands are created a script you can obvious call get_info and get_context.

The command is created in a script, but that does not change anything. I have for example:
xchat.command('MENU ADD "$CHAN/Bookmark" "myfunction" ')
How exactly do I tell myfunction which channel has been right-clicked?

I want the same functionality as in Firefox:
- press Ctrl+D to bookmark the current channel get_info(channel).
- right click a channel and have a "Bookmark This Channel" menu item.

If it's a User Command then you can setup the command to pass %c

What is this "%c" and where can I read the documentation about it?

xchat.command('MENU ADD "$CHAN/Bookmark" "myfunction" ') executes a command, it does not create one. Commands are created with hook_command

Thanks for your time.

If anybody else is still reading this thread, this is my question, which has not been answered yet:
If I add an item to the $TAB or $CHAN context menus, [which will execute a command when clicked, and that command, being hooked to a function in my script, will call that function] how do I know, in the called function, which channel/server has been right-clicked?

Then you can use xchat.get_info( "channel" ) inside the callback for hook_command as I mentioned originally

I'm afraid that does not work.

This is what I have:

Code: Select all

def doBookmark(word, word_eol, userdata):
   xchat.prnt("xchat.get_info('channel') = %s" % xchat.get_info("channel"))
   return xchat.EAT_ALL
xchat.command('MENU ADD "$CHAN/Bookmark" BOOKMARK')
xchat.hook_command("BOOKMARK", doBookmark)

I right-click a channel in the text area and click Bookmark, it will print the name of the current channel, not the name of the clicked channel.

Of course, the same is true for $TAB/Bookmark: I join #x, then #y, then right-click #x, I see "#x" as the first item in the menu, but if I choose Bookmark, it prints the name of the current channel, #y.

How can I obtain, in doBookmark() the name of the channel which has been right-clicked by the user?

To answer my own question: Use %s.

Code: Select all

def doBookmark(word, word_eol, userdata):
   channel = word[1]
   xchat.prnt(channel)
   return xchat.EAT_ALL
xchat.command('MENU ADD "$CHAN/Bookmark" "BOOKMARK %s"')
xchat.hook_command("BOOKMARK", doBookmark)
