| 1 #summary Redirect long messages to built-in pastebin | |
| 2 | |
| 3 = Introduction = | |
| 4 | |
| 5 Pastebins are used very often in IM, especially in chat rooms. You have a long log or command output which you need to send to someone over IM, and don't want to fill their message window with it. Put it on a pastebin site, and give them the URL instead, simple. | |
| 6 | |
| 7 Not for everyone... no matter how hard you try, people will be unaware, or not care. They may also be too lazy to visit a pastebin. This is where mod_pastebin comes in! | |
| 8 | |
| 9 = Details = | |
| 10 | |
| 11 When someone posts to a room a "large" message, Prosody will intercept the message and convert it to a URL pointing to a built-in pastebin server. The URLs are randomly generated, so they can be considered for most purposes to be private, and cannot be discovered by people who are not in the room. | |
| 12 | |
| 13 = Usage = | |
| 14 | |
| 15 Load mod_pastebin onto the MUC component (interestingly it can also be loaded on normal hosts and it will intercept standard chat messages). | |
| 16 | |
| 17 For example: | |
| 18 {{{ | |
| 19 Component "conference.example.com" "muc" | |
| 20 modules_enabled = { "pastebin" } | |
| 21 }}} | |
| 22 | |
| 23 = Configuration = | |
| 24 ||pastebin_ports||List of ports to run the HTTP server on, same format as mod_httpserver's http_ports|| | |
| 25 | |
| 26 = Todo = | |
| 27 | |
| 28 * Configurable message length threshold | |
| 29 * Expire pastes | |
| 30 * Maximum paste length | |
| 31 * Web interface to submit pastes? |
