From e88fbe272c097066e538d670fe8fa907e9847321 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wilmer van der Gaast Date: Fri, 16 Apr 2010 01:10:10 +0200 Subject: Added a meta-contact twitter_$username and replaced the "use_groupchat" setting with a "mode" setting which also allows for a mode where everything just comes from the meta-contact. Tweets should now go to that user or to the channel (if available). Messages to others become DMs. --- doc/user-guide/commands.xml | 36 +++++++++++++++++++++++------------- 1 file changed, 23 insertions(+), 13 deletions(-) (limited to 'doc/user-guide') diff --git a/doc/user-guide/commands.xml b/doc/user-guide/commands.xml index 0664aaab..7dd23d0c 100644 --- a/doc/user-guide/commands.xml +++ b/doc/user-guide/commands.xml @@ -20,7 +20,7 @@ - Adds an account on the given server with the specified protocol, username and password to the account list.
