^ that's a oneboxed chat message.

Would you try to parse the message, or just the trans link?

Unihedron

I'm going to take the "ob-..." class, then correspondingly act on it.

I'll be ignoring most of the one-box messages in JavaBot, but it's going to do something more practical in JCE.

Sam

Kk.

Unihedron

10:24 AM

BTW, that may or may not be .getAsActualEntity() where the web agent looks at the actual page and scraps paragraphs it feels like necessary for the corresponding ob-type.

Sam

? (I'm using the C#'s equivalent of BeautifulSoap for dom parsing...)

Unihedron

I'm using XPath locations HTML parsing library... forgot what it's called - -'

Sam

@Unihedron I have no idea what that method is/does.

Unihedron

@Sam It doesn't exist, but if I implement fetching the actual post / entity represented by the one-box, that will be its method name. :)

'Cuz, API design and implementation.

Sam

Ohhh.

I thought you were talking about some other message scraping method. facepalm

Unihedron

10:32 AM

I love programming and script language, libraries and API theories, design, and implementation. It fascinates me. I can read about it all day, while still screwing up when I actually go do the code.

Sam

lol, same. I've always been interested in modelling my own (or learning of new) architectures/systems/etc.

Unihedron

! :)

Sam

;)

Sam

10:45 AM

Have SE removed starring info? 'Cause I can't find it anywhere in the pages I'm scraping.

Unihedron

The star information only comes through the events.

Or so I thought

Sam

Right, that's what I thought.

Can you try starring something?

{"event_type":6,"time_stamp":1416307577,"content":"Can you try starring something?","id":5678632,"user_id":266094,"user_name":"Unihedron","room_id":774,"room_name":"Room for Uni and Inf","message_id":2671117,"message_stars":1}

Unihedron

:P

Sam

^ Yep, it's in the events. Thx.

Unihedron

Unstarring is the same event as starring.

So to check whether it's a star or unstar, cache previous star events. Preferably, map message-ids to collection of users, where presence of user in collection indicates it's an unstar event.

Sam

10:50 AM

I was just planning on calling the event with the current star count (with message info) and let the user figure it out ;)

Unihedron

:)

Well, I'm going towards "we're doing everything so the user doesn't have to unless they really want to and implement the factory themselves" route, like most Java libraries, so.

in Java on Stack Overflow Chat, 6 mins ago, by Unihedron

Brb, going to make dinner so I actually don't have to starve tonight.

Sam

lol, ok, cya!

Meh, I guess I could be a little nicer to my users. Ok, I'll pass the previous star count too.

@Sam Test ping star.

Unihedron

11:17 AM

I'm back! eagerly waits for dinner to finish itself

Sam

Wb :D

Unfortunately, I've just realised that my system doesn't permit me to get a message's perv star count (unless I add an ugly caching mechanism) :/

Sam

11:44 AM

Test onebox...

Test edit.

@Sam Test ping.

@Uni I've just found a way to solely get a message's content with chat markdown.

Unihedron

@Sam ?!

No way? Really?! Without parsing the history?

Sam

Simply GET from http://chat.{domain}/messages/{room ID}/{message ID}

Unihedron

:O OMG

Sam

^ that'll get the latest content. ;D

I tested it with $.get('http://chat.meta.stackexchange.com/messages/774/2671281')

Unihedron

OMG

YES

Or... go to http://chat.meta.stackexchange.com/messages/774/2671281

Sam

11:50 AM

Cool, didn't know you could do that :D

Unihedron

:D The later may be easier, since it's opening a connection as a simple input stream

That's wicked, makes my life so much easier, thanks :)

Sam

scraps message decoder class

Unihedron

secretly am glad that I gave up on working on message decoder class to momentarily delay it for later

Sam

IKR?! I only found out just a few secs ago. Np :D

lol

Ok, new plan. Get message info via websockets (*except* content) -> get message content via this new hack -> raise necessary event(s)

Unihedron

This plan is A++.

If the user wants to get additional information, they'll have to ~~go through all the trouble and query the history page themselves~~ get what they deserve. :)

Sam

11:59 AM

:)

Sam

12:12 PM

I've got my JS listener running... so I can see who's starring everything ;)

Unihedron

xD

Sam

darn auto-correcting

Ohhh, that gives me a brilliant idea.

Unihedron

Oh? Star game?

Sam

Nope.

An anti-star troll script (it'll just say who's starring stuff).

Unihedron

:o

Sam

12:52 PM

Ugh, formatting. I'll put it up on GitHub.

First, I need to eat...

Unihedron

Yum

Unihedron

1:12 PM

~ Not everything is star-worthy...

Sam

Does js have a ternary operator?

Like, something == null ? doA() : doB();

(I haven't used js properly for ages)

Unihedron

yes

my internet is fidgeting

Sam

Welcome to the club ;)

Unihedron

Aha, an IE window was hiding somewhere, killed it and now my internet runs fine

Sam

IE? :O

Unihedron

1:18 PM

Was surprised to see it too... :O

Sam

Almost finished the script...

accidentally killed chrome...

@Uni Whatchya think?

Hiya @Gham!

Sam

4:51 PM

He's just my test subject while I debug CE.Net ;)

Gham

User: Sam starred/unstarred 2673081

Unihedron

... I meant that Gham should tell when we star or unstarr a message, without that alternation.

ProgramFOX

I don't know whether that can be checked.

Both actions have the same event type.

Unihedron

Checking the star count change...

Save a dictionary how many stars are on starred messages; If the starred message isn't on there, then it's a star; If it's on there but the count decreased since then, it's an unstar!

Java version: s,dictionary,map

ProgramFOX

Okay, then think about this:

The bot gets started up when a message has 2 stars.

Someone unstars that message --> it has one star.

Then the bot would think that is has been starred.

Unihedron

5:01 PM

@ProgramFOX I was about to add that as well - the number of stars already present should be computed on load.

ProgramFOX

Hmm... that might work.

Sam

What if someone stars/unstars a message that hasn't been previously recorded?

Unihedron

It's how I'm going to do it at least, since you get a batch of events whenever you join a room.

@Sam Logically not possible, but if so there'd be a logic error that fixes itself.

Sam

@Unihedron That can be changed. For CE.Net, it doesn't pre-load any messages.

Unihedron

@Sam Aww.

ProgramFOX

5:03 PM

@Sam There is a time limit so after some time (don't know the exact time), you cannot unstar a message anymore. Then you should only look at the stars of the messages posted within that time range.

Sam

It only loads messages as the user requests them.

@ProgramFOX That could be quite a few messages.

ProgramFOX

Hm, yeah.

Sam

20 mins ago, by Sam

This is only a test, anyway.

So it's not that important. ;)

Unihedron

I ran into a stupid problem (coding JCE).

Sam

Yesh?

Unihedron

5:07 PM

I wanted to define "MessageType"s which includes an implementation to fetch messages with a specified protocol. For example, HTML -> messages/id, MD -> messages/r/id

Sam

Right...

Unihedron

Since "id" is needed as part of the fetching, I decided to build a function which takes that room ID and translates it into a lambda so the agent can use it to fetch.

From there I could build the objects and define what they do, but there's a problem - fetching the messages also requires access to the web agent.

ProgramFOX

I don't think I understand you. Cannot you get the ID from the messages you fetch?

Unihedron

Yeah.

And actually, currently I have a way to get the plain version of a message, the markdown version of a message, or the HTML version of the message.

ProgramFOX

What's the problem then? You can use the agent to fetch the messages and take the ID from there.

Unihedron

5:11 PM

Oh yeah! I should make the agent itself part of the parameter.

... Thanks for the help! :D

Sam

Sam

5:43 PM

@Uni I forgot, have I told you how to get a list of all pingable users for a room?

Unihedron

@Sam I think you did.

A get request to "pingable" right?

Sam

Yeah.

/rooms/pingable/{room id}

ProgramFOX

Giving another try at websockets...

Sam

5:48 PM

[{user ID},{user name},{last seen},{last posted}]

^ I think

@Unihedron :D

Unihedron

aaaand failed horribly

why apache...

Sam

Are you setting the origin?

Unihedron

Hmm, perhaps I should just try to port your code over java...

Sam

frantically commits...

Unihedron

And it's always lost somewhere back there...

I mean the websocket listener script :P

Sam

5:51 PM

I still haven't committed since fixing the socket though.

Unihedron

@Gham That's a pin...

Sam

5:53 PM

I removed the "pinned" part, since it's just called an "owner star".

So, kinda seemed redundant.

Unihedron

Oh.

@Sam Thanks!

Sam

Np :)

Unihedron

client.setOrigin(???)

Sam

I assume client is a websocket?

Unihedron

WebSocketClient client = factory.newWebSocketClient();

Sam

5:59 PM

??? == "http://chat.{domain}"

Unihedron

!!!

Sam

hopes Uni's PC hasn't exploded

Unihedron

Not confident enough to compile this...

Oh wait, gotta handle logging in..

er... forget it

Sam

Oh.

I forgot to ask, where are you getting your fkey from?

Unihedron

I'm not passing it

I thought I can watch the chat while logged out?

Sam

6:03 PM

I mean for getting the time thingy for the socket url.

@Unihedron I haven't tested it without logging in, yet.

Unihedron

oh.

Yay!

"200 OK"

Sam

:D

Unihedron

OMG :D

Sam

Are you getting anything?

Unihedron

Felt like my first "hello world"...

Sam

6:08 PM

Unihedron

nope, I just posted to events and pended the future task to print the response

I'll amend the future task to work properly and get the websocket url..

Oh, right.
