Меню:
There are two implementations of Yahoo! Chat protocol for Emacs. First of them called El-Gyach and second is called yod.el, but El-Gyach has more features then yod.el, so i'll describe it in more detail.
El-Gyach's features
El-Gyach implements following features:
- Spell checking;
- Words highlighting;
- Support of AES encryption;
- Names, command and text completion;
- Faces customisation;
- Working with different accounts simultaneously;
- Messages history;
- Ability to ignore messages from some users;
- Integration with other Emacs modules.
More detail information you can find on sites, dedicated to El-Gyach development.
El-Gyach's installation
To install El-Gyach you need to download it from site, unpack sources and compile it (to work with Yahoo servers, El-Gyach use module, written in С language). After compilation, put following text in your Emacs initialisation file:
(add-to-list 'load-path "path_to_elgyach") (autoload "gyach" "gyach" "Autoload for El-Gyach")
After loading the package, you can setup it with Emacs's customisation commands —
M-x
customize-group gyach. Here you can set username and password for your account, and also
you can setup name of elgyach programm, if it installed in non-standard place.
Using the package
To run El-Gyach you need to do command M-x gyach, that create process buffer. You can also
use several El-Gyach processes simultaneously. To do this, if you give prefix before run
this command, as here C-u M-x gyach. But you cannot login to more then one chat room when
using same account — this is restriction of Yahoo! Chat.
El-Gyach's commands
El-Gyach supports different commands, given in form /commandname. Now
available following commands:
/ignore Userand/unignore User— to ignore messages from certain users, and to drop this ignoring;/highlight Userand/unhighlight User— to highlight messages from certain users, and to drop this highlighting;/version— print out version number of El-Gyach.
Customisation of El-Gyach
The main customisation parameters are username and password for Yahoo! Chat account.
These parameters are stored in variables gyach-yahoo-username and gyach-yahoo-password. To
make precise customisation of El-Gyach buffers you can use lisp code, that you can call
from gyach-mode-hook.
User can easily extend El-Gyach. At each call for command, that looks like /COMMAND,
package will call function with name gyach-custom-COMMAND. So you can write any new
functionality with small piece of code.
