AdiIRC

*Scripting Menus*

You can edit most AdiIRC menus in the Menu Editor located at Tools -> Edit Menus.

Status - Edit the status menus.

Channel - Edit the channel menus.

Query - Edit the query menus.

Nicklist - Edit the nicklist menus.

Menubar - Edit the menubar menus.

A menu syntax consists of Menu text<colon>Menu command.

For this reason, only one colon is allowed in a menu, neither the text nor the command can contain any other colons for the menu to work properly.

*Example*

<pre>

; Add a new menu item with the text "Query", when clicked, execute "/query $1" where $1 means the first word given to this menu, usually a nick.

Query:/query $1

</pre>

The "menu" prefix can also be used in a script to add more items to a menu.

*Example*

<pre>

;Add a new menu item with the text "Whois", when clicked execute "/whois $1".

menu nicklist {

  Whois:/whois $1

}

</pre>

*Menu hierarchy*

The menu hierarchy is determined by punctuation marks.

This works in both the Menu Editor and in a custom script.

*Example*

<pre>

menu nicklist {

  ;Create a upper menu item called "Tools", notice you don't need a colon for the upper menu.

  Tools

  ;Use a punctuation mark to put a menu item inside "Tools"

  .Whois:/whois $1

  ;Use a punctuation mark to put another menu item inside "Tools"

  .Who:/who $1

  ;Create another upper menu item called "Operate"

  Operate

  ;Use a punctuation mark to put a menu item inside "Operate"

  .Kill:kill $1

  ;Create a sub menu item called "Operate More" inside "Operate"

  .Operate More

  ;Use two punctuation mark to put a menu item inside "Operate More"

  ..Kill again:kill $1

}

</pre>
