Quote command

[Zirak]

So we've been overloading /learn to act as a quote, but wouldn't it be nice to have a dedicated quote command?

Since we'll never do our own bash.org clone (or in preparation for it!), how about:

!!quote add 8333542 gaybars
Added quote "gaybars" by loktar
!!quote list loktar
gaybars
!!quote get gaybars
...link to 8333542...
!!quote random
...random quote...

Instead of a message id you could of course provide a link to the message. The API seems meh tbh, maybe it can be switched up a bit:

!!quote loktar gaybars 8333542
Added quote
!!quote loktar
gaybars
!!quote gaybars (?)
:(
!!quote
...random quote...

meh I dunno. Point being you'll get dedicated listing, random quotes, attribution, etc. Maybe /quote info as well.

Thoughts?

I'd prefer to see !!quote <link> gaybars and have the bot figure out the rest (user, blah blah).

I can't read.

[Zirak]

The quotes will be stored globally, not attached to a user, so that'll be ok

[benjamingr]

Sounds good to me, although I'd like to keep the old ones as cultural heritage :D

Implemented in e0eced8.

Let's see if we can get a list of quotes going on.

So here's a bunch of commands which send out a chat link:

cmds.filter(
  c => /https?:\/\/chat.stackoverflow.com\/transcript\/message\/(\d+)/.exec(c.output)
).map(
  c => `!!quote add ${/https?:\/\/chat.stackoverflow.com\/transcript\/message\/(\d+)/.exec(c.output)[1]} ${c.name} `
).join('\n')

I opened up all of these and classified:

• v run command as is
• r possibly need to rename before adding
• x don't add

There are a bunch of messages from c# which don't make sense to me, so can someone like @kendfrey who's also there comment if they're relevant or not?

Once they're added, I'm thinking of /forgeting them and /learning a "use /quote get name". Maybe even patching /learn so when you /learn <> msgurl you'll be told to use /quote instead.

Thoughts?

[kendfrey]

For the C# room, I'd keep these: c# haskell panini

My approach to the command syntax would be:

!!quote add gaybars 8333542
I'll remember Loktar's gaybars quote.
!!quote list
gaybars, kinkykendall, ...
!!quote list Loktar
gaybars
!!quote gaybars
<link>
!!quote | !!quote random
<random link>

Perhaps a !!quote <user> would be nice for a random quote from a specific user, but that might be too ambiguous with !!quote <name>.

[Zirak]

Will do.

A couple of possible changes: One being that if it's not recognised as a command argument it'll try fetching a quote (as you also suggested), the other that a quote name is stripped of whitespace and lowercased.

@Zirak can we close this? seems sorted now.
