GetLink

Version: 1.0.1

by: Kremonte [More]

GetLink - better than ever!

Hello fellas.

I'd like to present the finally-cared-about less-memory-whoring brand-new shiny version of GetLink. It's brand new and shiny because it's been rewritten from scratch, with much memory concerns in mind, and using the wonderful Ace backend.

GetLink's purpose has always been to be a link manager that isn't a memory whore. Without a database, nothing was saved, meaning less overhead. However, GetLink did the exact opposite. Saving the technical jargon, it ended up, after getting half a dozen links, using as much - if not more memory than an addon that saved links.

The newest version of GetLink hopes to solve all that. After a good bit of thinking, I've made a system of temporarily caching links and accessing them so neither is much of a memory hog. In other words, it's faster and lags you less :-)

The only difference upfront is that to get a link, it's now /getlink get <search>. /getlink (and /gl) has more options now, including managing the faster, built-in bot.

Enjoy.

1.0.1 : savedvariable is now... saved.

Well my change is quite simple, i think the Author just forgot it as its really easy to put that in:
bot.lua

Code:

        local links, ret = GetLink:Retrieve(
            (arg1:sub(string.len(saved.bot_trigger))):gsub("%d?%d?%d$", "")), ""
        for i = start, start + saved.bot_max_results do
            if(not links[i]) then break end
            if((ret .. links[i]):len() > 255) then
                SendChatMessage(ret, channel, DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME.defaultLanguage, arg2)
                ret = ""
            end
            ret = ret .. links[i]
        end
        
        if(ret:len() > 0) then
            SendChatMessage(ret, channel, DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME.defaultLanguage, arg2)
		        else
			SendChatMessage("Sorry, no results were found for your search "..arg2..". Your Search was: '"..arg1:sub(string.len(saved.bot_trigger)).."'.", channel, DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME.defaultLanguage,arg2)
        end

Marked the thing i inserted in red

Re: How to configure the Bot?

Hi there, i love using GetLink and the GetLink Bot.

With the new version though it wont work.

Its enabled and all GetLink itself is working.

but if i configure the bot to use !item
= /gl bot trigger !item

It wont work :-(

I tried setting it in many different ways
/gl bot trigger <!item>
/gl bot trigger item
/gl bot trigger ^~!item
/gl bot trigger ^~item
/gl bot trigger [!item]

and cant seem the right way to configure it, could you please elaborate how to configure it correctly?

/gl bot trigger ^!item works.

It uses lua's string.match, which means lua-style regular expressions are usable. ^ simply means "at the beginning only".

No worries :P Also, to anyone who used 3.11 while it was still up, 3.12 has a whole different SavedVariables thingermajig, so you'd need to delete them manually (cba to write a mod to upgrade a version that was up for a whole hour)

The next version (3.13) should be up tomorrow or the day after, finishing up the rest of the options in GetLink(), adding a /glhelp slash command for help on the searching options, and correcting some performance issues, as well as more features for chat channels with the bot. Yay updates!

However, to retain the lightweight searching capabilities along with a GUI for personal searching, try using the aforementioned "Ludwig." http://www.wowinterface.com/download...74-Ludwig.html Personally, I see no reason for it to spit the information to a window, considering the only information for it to spit is a set of links :P
