1 Figure out a user's IP address if they have the same plugin loaded |
93 | 2 |
3 This would be a really interesting and pretty useful plugin. It | |
4 could work possibly by sending 'hidden' text in the form of an | |
5 HTML tag or something, and if it receives the same hidden text, | |
6 it could then pass messages back and forth to send and receive | |
7 the IP addresses. | |
8 | |
9 Perform extra HTML-highlighting and HTML-stripping | |
10 | |
11 Ever get annoyed because gaim doesn't support some HTML markup? | |
12 Here's a work-around. (Although, if you're this determined, you | |
13 might as well just hack gaim and send us the patches ;-) .) | |
14 | |
15 Auto-reply | |
16 | |
17 If someone sends you a message, immediately send them a message | |
18 back. Add fun things to the message. Reverse their text, then | |
19 send it back to them. Play with fonts and colors and HTML tags. | |
20 Really annoy the hell out of them. :-) | |
21 | |
22 Control gaim by monitoring a file | |
23 | |
24 I have to admit, I blatently stole this idea from LICQ. But it | |
25 is a really interesting concept. What happens is it watches a | |
26 certain file to see if it's empty or not. If it's not, it reads | |
27 the contents and executes any commands stored in there (such as | |
28 send a message to someone). This can be nice for having remote | |
29 control of gaim. | |
30 | |
31 | |
32 These are just some of the ideas I came up with in about ten minutes. A | |
33 really nice thing about having plugins is as long as your code doesn't | |
34 segfault, you can keep testing and debugging without having to restart | |
35 gaim. Plus the plugins tend to be small, and quick and easy to compile, | |
36 so development should be quick. Try to have FUN with these plugins :-). | |
37 (BTW, dibs on the 'control by file' plugin. :-) .) | |
