irssi notifications

Following is the code of irssi plugin, which I hacked. It displays popup messages (using notification-daemon) for any IMs you received:

# irssi-notify.pl
use Irssi;
use Net::DBus;
 
$::VERSION='0.0.1';
%::IRSSI = (
    authors => 'Ashish Shukla',
    contact => 'gmail.com!wahjava',
    name => 'irssi-notify',
    description => 'Displays a pop-up message for message received',
    url => 'http://wahjava.wordpress.com/',
    license => 'GNU General Public License',
    changed => '$Date$'
    );
 
my $APPNAME = 'irssi';
 
my $bus = Net::DBus->session;
my $notifications = $bus->get_service('org.freedesktop.Notifications');
my $object = $notifications->get_object('/org/freedesktop/Notifications',
					'org.freedesktop.Notifications');
 
my $notify_nick = 'abbe';
 
# $object->Notify('appname', 0, 'info', 'Title', 'Message', [], { }, 3000);
 
sub pub_msg {
    my ($server,$msg,$nick,$address,$target) = @_;
 
    if ($msg =~ $notify_nick)
    {
	$object->Notify("${APPNAME}:${server}",
			0,
			'info',
			"Public Message in $target",
			"$nick: $msg",
			[], { }, 3000);
    }
}
 
sub priv_msg {
    my ($server,$msg,$nick,$address) = @_;
    $object->Notify("${APPNAME}:${server}",
		    0,
		    'info',
		    'Private Message',
		    "$nick: $msg",
		    [], { }, 3000);
}
 
sub cmd_notifyon {
    my $nick = shift;
 
    if(!$nick)
    {
	Irssi::print("Current notification nick is $notify_nick .");
    }
    else
    {
	$notify_nick = $nick;
    }
}
 
Irssi::signal_add_last('message public', \&pub_msg);
Irssi::signal_add_last('message private', \&priv_msg);
Irssi::command_bind('notify-on', \&cmd_notifyon);

To use it: copy, paste it into a file, say irssi-notify.pl in your $HOME. And then start irssi , and load plugin with command /script load ~/irssi-notify.pl and after that use /notify-on command to register your nick with this plugin, so it’ll popup messages with you nick mentioned. e.g. to register mikeab for notifications, I’ll do /notify-on mikeab. You’ll also need Net::DBus perl module. Happy irssi -ng…:)

P.S. BtW, there is another similar plugin also, which doesn’t require DBus, and it is available from http://codesnippets.joyent.com/posts/show/1394.

UPDATE: You can also download irssi-notify.pl.
