Chat log database, pidginlog

Thu, 07/02/2009 - 00:30 | by Mgccl

I developed a simple chat logging database from the Pidgin html log parser.
It's one of those things I put in mgccl's google codes repository.
I call it pidginlog for now.
While it is called chat log, it is intended to log IM's instead of IRC or group chat logs.

You can find the download here, or check the SVN.

If you don't get how to use it, read the code, logic should be pretty clear. This requires you to run pidgin and a PHP server on the same machine.
You also have to use cron job or other kind of schedule service to run the script once in a while to make this thing actually useful.

If you don't understand the code or have no idea of what I just talked about, chose a user friendly alternative like IM-history, Dexrex or Web Pidgin.

In the future I will make a web front end to this program...or not. phpmyadmin is powerful enough for a front end.
