[SOLVED] Suggestion: add away in json-RPC

Hi,
I'm trying to use json-rpc from unrealircd rather than irc2sql from anope, and one information lacks in the user()->getuser() result: the online/away status of the user.
Thanks !

Hi, thanks for your feature request.
I've added your request to the bug reports manager, you can keep track of its status here:
https://bugs.unrealircd.org/view.php?id=6573
I've also make a Pull Request to the main unrealircd repository which, if accepted, will include the user's away information in the JSON response output in this format:
Code: Select all

Nice, thanks.
Will it also be present in a channel.get (detail level 5) ? I didn't look at the json-rpc engine so I don't know if it uses directly the user object

The patch I suggested patches the way Client (and child) structs are converted to JSON objects, so it'll be available in any call which contains a user with detail level 2 or higher or channel with detail level of 4 or higher, which means the default calls will include them.

Note that this is just my proposed change, there is a chance it might not be accepted as-is, or at all

Well, my servers are ready to upgrade to 6.2.0 (my test server didn't have any trouble with the beta version).
So, if Syzop does'nt accept your PR, I roll back my servers
More seriously, if this info exists in the rpc-json, it's a good thing, but if it doesn't, I can live without it

Ok, testing UnrealIRCd-6.2.1-rc1 : away_since and away_reason works well in json-RPC
Nice job guys !
