dino-chat-export

Export chats and files from the XMPP client Dino into a plain-text format.

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.	`<html><title>THEIR_JID</title><body>`
	Substitutions: THEIR_JID, YOUR_JID, THEIR_NICK, YOUR_NICK
`$MESSAGE_FOOTER`	Likewise, but is output to the end of each message file.	`</body></html>`
`$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.	`<img src="%s" />`
`$FILE_FORMAT`	Same as `$IMAGE_FORMAT`, but for non-image files.	`<a href src="%s">Uploaded file</a>`

Examples

HTML output

Here are some environment variables you can use to get rudimentary, unstyled HTML output:

$ 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!
