Hello everyone,
I've been hunting online and trying different things for a couple of days
now, and I have not found any solution to this problem.
Basically, I do a lot of RPing on IRC, using the mIRC client. In order to
enhance the RP experience, it is always nice to be able to have a
description of the characters.
Someone had pointed me to a website called Furbase, that allows you to
enter
such a description.
What I have done in the past, and would like to do with Furbase, is create
a
right-click Nick menu option, that will allow you to select a user's name
and automatically open up a web browser page for that person's
description.
What I have is the following:
Menu Nicklist {
Char Descs
.Furbase {
/url -a http://furbase.bigfurs.com/index.php?FurID= $+ $$1
}
The above code works perfectly fine, except for one problem. The Furbase
database, references users by an ID number and not their name.
I have not created my own description yet, as I want to see if I can get
this to work, before I take the time to fill it all out, but an example
user
on the database is Phantom, with an ID value of 626
My question is, is there a way to use variables within the Menu script, so
that when I click on the user's nickname, the value will be replaced in
the call to the URL?
In other words, if I click on the username of Phantom, how can I set up a
variable so that the URL contains the value of '626' at the end, rather
than 'Phantom'?
I have no problem hard-coding in each character's ID value as a mIRC
variable at start-up, but I simply have not been able to find a way of
then
replacing the variable's value into the URL string.
Thank you in advance for any help on this matter.
