THEIR_JID

# dino-chat-export Export chats and files from the XMPP client [Dino](https://dino.im) into a plain-text format. ![A screenshot of the same conversation two windows: Once in Dino, and once in HTML format displayed in Firefox.](res/combined-screenshot.png) ## 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> $message` format, but you can customize the output of this script with environment variables. ### Environment variables | Variable | Description | Example | | ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------- | | `$DINO_HOME` | Dino data directory | `~/.local/share/Dino` | | `$MESSAGE_HEADER` | Text preceding each message file, with basic substitutions. | `THEIR_JID` | | | Substitutions: THEIR_JID, YOUR_JID, THEIR_NICK, YOUR_NICK | | | `$MESSAGE_FOOTER` | Likewise, but is output to the end of each message file. | `` | | `$MESSAGE_FORMAT` | Template for message output, in a printf style. | `[%s] <%s>: %s` | | `$MESSAGE_SLOTS` | Comma-delimited arguments for $MESSAGE_FORMAT | `DATE,JID,BODY` | | | Valid slots: AVATAR, BODY, DATE, JID | | | `$IMAGE_FORMAT` | Format for message-bodies containing an image. | `

` | | `$FILE_FORMAT` | Same as `$IMAGE_FORMAT`, but for non-image files. | `Uploaded file` | ## Examples ### HTML output Here are some environment variables you can use to get rudimentary, unstyled HTML output: ```shell $ export MESSAGE_FORMAT='

%s —

' MESSAGE_SLOTS='DATE,AVATAR,JID,BODY' MESSAGE_HEADER=' Conversation with THEIR_JID - YOUR_JID< ' MESSAGE_FOOTER=' ' IMAGE_FORMAT='

' FILE_FORMAT='%s' $ ./dino-chat-export ~/Archive/Chats/XMPP/ ``` Feel free to spice it up with some real CSS! ## Meta License is the GNU GPLv3+, COPYING.txt. - https://notabug.org/jadedctrl/dino-chat-export - https://github.com/jadedctrl/dino-chat-export
