Category: Chatterbox Clients
Author/Contact Info ase alevenson@uswest.net
Description: Tk Version of Shendal's Win32::GUI chatterbox client.
Added features:
  • Color options configurable and persistent between sessions via a tie'd SDBM_File
  • Should work on any platform with Tk 8.0 module
To do:
  • There is still the issue of the GUI blocking when accessing the network. Update: a new version (again based on Shendal's work (see reply below) is in the works... Check back soon.
  • Somehow the Tk status bar Shendal used to help aleviate the item above doesn't seem to work to well in the Tk version.. It doesn't seem to update properly
Notes:
  • Requires ZZamboni's PerlMonkChat module
  • Use/Abuse freely but, please let me know if you fix/add to it so I can use it too.

#       some of the comments are Shendal's.

# Adapted from:
# monkchat
# Shendal, June 2000
#
# Special thanks to zzamboni who created PerlMonksChat.pm
# Very special thanks to vroom for creating PerlMonks.org
# Oh, and Larry Wall's okay in my book for making perl
#
# (ase) And thanks to Shendal for the Win32:GUI code
#
# Notes:
#  - When I output to the chatterbox window, the script needs
#    to append the output to the end of the buffer.  Currently,
#    Win32::GUI doesn't have a nice way to do this.  Instead,
#    I have to select the end of the buffer and then do a 
#    ReplaceSel.  It's kludgy, but it works.
# (ase) Tk::Text widget doesn't have this problem fortunately :)
#
# To-do:
#  - while getting data from the website, the gui locks up
#    this is really annoying, but I can't figure out how 
#    to get around it.  I put a status bar there to help
#    let the user know what's going on, but it still locks.
# (ase) This is also a problem with this Tk version...
#
#  - chatterbox doesn't automatically scroll down when new
#    chatter is coming in.  I cannot find the method to 
#    move down on every insert.
# (ase) I've added the $Chatterbox->see('end') in &printMessage to fix
+ this.
#
#  - hitting return doesn't send message - I'm not sure
#    how to bind this
# (ase) In Tk one just uses $widget->bind("<Return>",\&sub_name)
#
#  - userlist should probably be double-clickable to get info
#    on selected user (by launching a browser?)
# (ase) not implemented in this tk version yet either
#
# Version history:
#
# 0.9.2 6/16/00
#  - XP progress bar is more accurate: now reports % of way
#    from current level to next
# 0.9.1 6/16/00
#  - fixed private message formatting
#  - text now inserted at bottom of buffer
#  - added /checkoff, /co for checking off private messages
#  - added /msgs to re-print unchecked private messages
#  - sent private messages now appear in chatterbox buffer
#  - added color
# 0.9 6/15/00
#  - initial release

    Nice. I like it.

    You may want to get the latest version of my client. Version 1.0 alleviates the gui locking problem by launching a server process to connect to the server and cache information. Also, several other bugs/issues are resolved.

    Cheers!

    Change for new hash in code:

    # perlmonk levels
# the xp xml ticker doesn't return this, so we'll have to hard code it
my %perlmonk_levels = ( 1  => 0,
