Detecting when someone joins a room?

[borski]

Is there functionality for detecting when a new user joins and responding to them automatically? Or being able to tell if they are a real user or 'guest'?

Hey,
that's a good idea to add as a reaction trigger.
Right now joining is implemented in here so the only way would be to monkey patch this a little bit.

It should be possible to tell guest users apart as they have empty email / mention attributes.

Any chance you think you'd have time to implement that piece? I'm new to hipbot :(

[bartoszkopinski]

Sure, will check on this tomorrow morning.

[borski]

Any luck on this?

[bartoszkopinski]

Yeah, sorry. I felt into refactoring loop.
I want to finish this till tomorrow, will let you know.

[borski]

How goes? :) Thanks for working on it!

@borski I've added new reaction to the latest release.

class MyBot < Hipbot::Bot
  # ...
  on_presence do |status|
    puts "Triggered by #{sender.name} in #{room.name} with status: #{status}"
  end
end

I guess it will be also triggered by Hipbot joining and receiving presence statuses once for everyone in the room (on start or invite). I haven't found perfect workaround for this case yet.

Let me know if that helps. I'm still working on easy way to distinguish guest users.

This is pretty great - is there a way to make Hipbot only join a single room? Even if he's invited into a different room by being @mentioned?

How about removing Hipbot from other rooms? (unless they're public)

You can specify room(s) to join on start, but it'll still auto-join on invite/mention.
Hmm, I guess I can change that...

class MyHipbot < Hipbot::Bot
  configure do |c|
    # ...
    c.join = "room name"
  end
end

[borski]

Where is the auto-join on mention code? Can I change that?

The invite reaction is here.
I'll change that to respect c.join setting, will it be reasonable?
