This is a python WeeChat plugin that collects highlighted messages.

I prefer weechat as an irc client, but have noticed all too often that I'll leave my weechat session for an hour, a day, or a weekend, and I will come back and have had multiple nickname highlights where other irc denizens have addressed me, yet it's difficult (and time consuming) to search each backlog looking for them - nevermind the fact that there may be multiple nick highlights in the same buffer.

The idea here is to aggregate all lines that trigger a nick highlight that occur in a channel, store them internally, and print them out by simply typing a command.

Usage:

Download highlights.py and place it in your ~/.weechat/python/autoload directory and restart weechat -or- place it somewhere in ~/.weechat and manually type /python load highlights.py .

Once the plugin has been loaded, type /help hls to see its usage.

The script can be unloaded by typing /python unload highlights

Downloading:

Please download the latest trunk version: http://highlightaggregator.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/highlights.py

Current versions are known to work with weechat 0.3.0 or greater, and python 2.5, or 2.7

Happy irc'ing!
