Forums Feature Suggestions Five small features requested :)

Features requested:

1. /background

Add a switch to apply the background to all channel/private windows.

2. /log

Need a more powerful /log command
A /log that can access option dialog settings is preferred.

3. dialog Tab

In dialog table definition, a control will be assigned to more than
ONE tabs. Currently only one tab is accepted.

4. sort list

More sort options for list control are preferred. Sort by ASCII or
by string length, or in reverse order. Also the sort option can
be accessible via /did command. For example:
/did -s0 : Sort by ASCII code
/did -s1 : Sort by ASCII code reverse order
/did -s2 : Sort by strlen()
/did -s3 : Sort by strlen() reverse order
/did -S : dont sort any more

5. /ban -u checks for usermode +o

When a /ban -u times out, mIRC checks if the user is a channel oper.
If not, the ban wont be unset. But what if the user is an IRC oper?
So the user mode +o should be checked too.

you cant chek others user modes unless you are Server Admin so +o for irc oper would be useless

There are a few of ways to determine if a user is currently oper'd, such as examining the replies to /whois, /who, and /userhost (exercise left up to the reader). Works on the servers that I frequent, at least. The problem is that mIRC would have to perform one of those commands before a ban, which can slow things down -- not very quick during a flood, for example. Also, they could be slumming, and not currently oppered at the time that mIRC checks.

At any rate, insofar as this is possible at all, it is fairly easily scripted.

Edit: after re-reading the original suggestion, I think he was saying that when you use /ban -u, and when the time comes to remove the ban, mirc checks if you are an op in the chan before doing anything, and if not, does nothing. I believe the suggestion is that mirc also check if you're an ircop, as presumably on the servers he visits, ircops can unset bans in chans that they aren't opped in. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on your point of view) not all servers give their operators that much power. Perhaps some clarification would help?

In my post "the user" means the person who issue the /ban. From the user's point of view, mirc checks if 'myself' is a channel oper when the ban times out.
Yes most IRC opers won't have the privilege to remove a ban without being an oper of channel. So i now think my suggestion "/ban -u checks..." should be deleted from my post :tongue:
