config help texts

Open Mikaela opened this issue 6 years ago • 3 comments

A config help <bot|channel|server|user> would be nice especially if configs aren't self-explanatory.

interestingly enough, all the config options already have help text - it's just not exposed to the user.

this is the nicest I've come up with this far.

("context" means bot|server|channel|user)

  • !config help <setting> - searches for <setting>. if it's available under multiple contexts, tell the user which and how to get per-context help/usage. if it's only available under one context, tell the user which context and show the help/usage.
  • !config help <context> <setting> - shows help per-setting per-context

something else to consider...

!location <own-nickname> <location> maybe should map to !config user location <location> as that's what a lot of users expect. should only work when either own-nickname is the same as the sending user or the sending user is an admin

this should have it's own issue...
