What is this? + +pidgin-twitter is a pidgin plugin to help twittering via pidgin. This +plugin translates an @username string and sender string to the link to +the user, respectively. It also can play a sound when an incoming +message contains any recipient name or sender name listed in the +each dedicated lists. + + +2. Dependency + +This plugin requires pidgin 2.4.0 or newer and glib-2.14.0 or newer. + + +3. How to build + +Building pidgin-twitter plugin is very simple. Please do + +./configure +make +sudo make install + + +4. Usage + +To enable pidgin-twitter, please check it "Enabled" in pidgin plugins +window. If it is enabled, it replaces sender and each @username string +to the link to the corresponding user by default. You can +enable/disable these via configure window. + +Play sound for matched recipients or sender is also enabled by +default, however it might not work until you specify user lists for +this feature. An user list is a enumeration of usernames separated by +a letter in " ,:;". For example, "foo bar" or "foo,bar" is a valid +user list. A list like "foo, bar" also works. Recipient list and +sender list are independent to each other so that you can maintain +different "watch list" for recipients and senders. This functionality +is also able to be toggled respectively via configuration window. + +Event type of sound to play is also configurable. By default, the +"Pounce Default" sound is specified as it may not be disabled by +configuration in pidgin preferences. You can specify other sounds, but +be aware, you have to enable the event type of sound you specified for +pidgin-twitter in pidgin's preference. + + +5. Acknowledgment + +I got some valuable feedbacks from nosuke (@konosuke) and mojin +(@mojin). + + +Yoshiki Yazawa (@yazuuchi) +yaz@honeyplanet.jp
