Jabber Ping Echoing

The filereader plugin has the ability to echo anything placed into a tmp/discord.db file. Which in this example will be jabber pings using the Twisted bot. The twisted bot will automatically generate the discord.db file

  1. To enable this feature go into your bots config and uncomment the plugin fileReader

  2. Next we need to install pip sudo apt-get install python-pip python-pygments

  3. Then cd /bots_directory/src/twisted

  4. Followed by pip install -r requirements.txt (This will install the required libraries for the twisted bot)

  5. Once that is done find the config.yaml.jabber.example file and fill in the network, server, username, nickname, and password sections with your jabber account information. (I recommend using an alt that will not get messages for this or you risk sharing private jabber messages)

  6. Next step is to update our supervisor .conf file we created when installing the main bot. Re-open that file and change it to the following. (If you're familiar with supervisor feel free to customize)

     [program:dramiel]
 command=php /**bot location**/Dramiel/Dramiel.php 
 autostart=true  
 autorestart=true  
 stopasgroup=true  
 stderr_logfile=/**bot location**/Dramiel/log/dramielError.log 
 stdout_logfile=/**bot location**/Dramiel/log/dramielOther.log 
 stdout_logfile_maxbytes=100KB  
 stdout_logfile_backups=5  
 stderr_logfile_maxbytes=100KB  
 stderr_logfile_backups=5  
 killasgroup=true  
 priority=998  

 [program:twisted]  
 command=/usr/bin/python /**bot location**/Dramiel/src/twisted/run.py -c /home/Dramiel/src/twisted/config.yaml.jabber  
 directory=/discord_bot_location/Dramiel/src/twisted   
 autostart=true  
 autorestart=true  
 stderr_logfile=/**bot location**/Dramiel/log/twisted.err.log  
 stdout_logfile=/**bot location**/Dramiel/log/twisted.out.log  
 stdout_logfile_maxbytes=100KB  
 stdout_logfile_backups=5  
 stderr_logfile_maxbytes=100KB  
 stderr_logfile_backups=5  
 killasgroup=true  
 priority=998  

 [group:dram]  
 programs=dramiel,twisted  
 priority=999

You will then need to run supervisorctl update which will start both bots.

To control the bot for now on you must use supervisorctl stop/start/restart dram:*

The configuration of the ping bot portion is fairly self explanatory.

"channelConfig" => array(
  "pings" => array(
    "default" => true, // is this particular filter active?
    "searchString" => "broadcast", // The plugin will search for this string and post any messages that contain it. To have the bot share everything change it to false without any quotes.
    "textStringPrepend" => "@everyone |", // this prepend will ping all discord users with access to the channel
    "textStringAppend" => "", // anything ud like to add to the tail end of the bots message
    "channelID" => 119136919346085888 // channel it posts too
  ),
