## Usage
|
|
|
|
`$ ./dino-chat-export /tmp/xmpp-archive/`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This script's only non-base requirement is `sqlite3`.
|
|
|
|
It takes one argument, the output directory. The output tree ends up looking something like this:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
$ tree /tmp/xmpp-archive/
|
|
|
|
/tmp/xmpp-archive/
|
|
|
|
└── youraccount@domain.tld
|
|
|
|
├── yourfriend@otherdomain.tld
|
|
|
|
│ ├── files
|
|
|
|
│ │ ├── sldfj_some_attached_file.pdf
|
|
|
|
│ │ ├── their_avatar.png
|
|
|
|
│ │ └── your_avatar.png
|
|
|
|
│ └── messages.txt
|
|
|
|
├── evilperson@evilcompany.com
|
|
|
|
│ ├── files
|
|
|
|
│ │ ├── their_avatar.png
|
|
|
|
│ │ └── your_avatar.png
|
|
|
|
│ └── messages.txt
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
By default, each message is output in `YYYY-MM-DD <$user> $message` format, but you can customize
|
|
|
|
the output of this script with environment variables.
|
|
|
|
|

### HTML output
|
|
|
|
Here are some environment variables you can use to get rudimentary, unstyled HTML output:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
|
|
$ export MESSAGE_FORMAT='<div class='message'><datetime>%s</datetime> <img class='avatar' src="%s" /> <b>%s</b> — <p>%s</p></div>'
|
|
|
|
MESSAGE_SLOTS='DATE,AVATAR,JID,BODY'
|
|
|
|
MESSAGE_HEADER='<!DOCTYPE html>
|
|
|
|
<html>
|
|
|
|
<head>
|
|
|
|
<title>Conversation with THEIR_JID - YOUR_JID</title><
|
|
|
|
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../style.css" />
|
|
|
|
</head>
|
|
|
|
<body>'
|
|
|
|
MESSAGE_FOOTER='</body>
|
|
|
|
</html>'
|
|
|
|
IMAGE_FORMAT='<img src="%s" />'
|
|
|
|
FILE_FORMAT='<a href="%s" />%s</a>'
|
|
|
|
$ ./dino-chat-export ~/Archive/Chats/XMPP/
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Feel free to spice it up with some real CSS!
