The value is a list of plugin names separated by spaces, +e.g. + +.plugins_autoload example +--------- +plugins_autoload = "gpg tell exec" +--------- + +Plugins configuration +--------------------- +Most plugins will manage their configuration internally, and you do not (and +should not) have to edit it, but some (e.g. mpd_client or gpg) require manual +editing (the _/set_ command can be used, but it is not pleasant to set +multiple values with it). + +The plugin configuration directory is located in _~/.config/poezio/plugins/_ +(or _$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/poezio/plugins/_) and the file related to a specific +plugin is named _plugin_name.cfg_. The configuration options should usually be +inside a section named after the plugin (sections are delimited with _[]_). + +.section example +-------------- +[plugin_name] +key = value +other_key = other_value +-------------- + + +Plugins index +------------- + +[horizontal] +*Admin*:: Room administration plugin + + Creates convenient aliases for MUC administration. + +*Amsg*:: Message broadcast plugin + + Allows a message to be broadcasted on all the rooms your arein. + Caution: do not overuse. + +*Day Change*:: Day change plugin + + Logs the day change inside the buffers, to keep track of the days when + backlogging. + +*Exec*:: System command plugin + + Runs a system command an optionally sends the output as a message. + +*Figlet*:: Figlet plugin + + Ascii-art writing (requires the _figlet_ package on your system). + +*GPG*:: link:gpg.html[GnuPG plugin] + + Allows encrypted exchanges and presence signing using GnuPG. + +*IQ Show*:: IQ showing plugin + + Shows the received IQs, for debugging purposes. + +*Link*:: Link opener plugin + + Opens links in a web browser, locally or remotely using a FIFO and SSH. + +*MPD Client*:: MPD client plugin + + Sends the current song (and optionally the progress inside the song) to + the current (chat) tab. + +*OTR*:: link:otr.html[Off-The-Record plugin] + + Allows encrypted and deniable exchanges using OTR. + +*PacoKick*:: Random kick plugin + + Kicks a random user in the room. + +*Ping*:: XMPP Ping + + Sends a ping probe to an entity (XEP-0199) + +*Quote*:: Quoting plugin + + Adds a /quote command to quote a message at HH:MM:SS and put it in the + input (to prevent painful copy/pastes). + +*Rainbow*:: Rainbow plugin + + Sends your messages in rainbow colors using XHTML-IM. + +*Reminder*:: Reminder plugin + + Reminds you to do something every now and then. + +*Screen Detach*:: Screen status plugin + + Changes your status to _away_ if the screen poezio is in is detached. + +*Status*:: Status aliases + + Adds convenient aliases to /status (/away, etc). + +*Tell*:: Automatic delayed messages + + Tells a message to a nick when he connects to a MUC. + +*Translate*:: Translation plugin + + Translates everything that is said in the poezio room into english (useful + for non-french speakers).
