Connecting to multiple networks causes erratic behavior

[rschuetzler]

I have a ZNC bouncer set up with one account connecting to multiple networks. Using znc-erc to connect to a single network works great, but upon connecting to the second network, either with znc-erc, or immediately with znc-all, everything goes crazy. Every IRC buffer with changed content gets automatically pulled up in the right-side frame. I can kill the frame, but it comes back at some point no matter what I do. I also cannot figure out a way to see my channels on the second network.

Also, once I connect to the second network, all of my messages begin showing up duplicated and all spaced out.

That does not happen here.

You're probably running an older version of ZNC.

@rschuetzler this seems like a dupe of #9?

[jeroentbt]

@strugee I am running a bit behind indeed (ZNC 1.4)

[strugee]

@jeroentbt I'm running 1.4, too. That's not sufficiently far behind to not trigger this bug... weird that you're not seeing it. Do you have multiple networks in one user?

[jeroentbt]

@strugee yes, two (debian and freenode)

I have this set up in my config:

(setq znc-servers (quote (("my.znc.host" 16667 t (
    (freenode "jeroen/freenode" "hunter2")
    (debian "jeroen/debian" "hunter2"))))))

[strugee]

@jeroentbt Well, that's why you're not seeing it. You're duplicating the network in the username. The point of #14 is tor ZNC.el to use the network slug, and have the username be the same. E.g.:

(setq znc-servers
      '(("znc.example.org" 1337 t
     ((freenode "alex" "hunter2")
      (moznet "alex" "hunter2")
      (oftc "alex" "hunter2")
      (gimpnet "alex" "hunter2")))))

[jeroentbt]

I used to have it like that but then I got two network buffers, both connecting to OFTC (referenced as debian in my config).

Furthermore, in those network buffer I get:

09:41:28 -*status- You have several networks configured, but no network was specified for the
                   connection.
09:41:28 -*status- Selecting network [debian]. To see list of all configured networks, use /znc
                   ListNetworks
09:41:28 -*status- If you want to choose another network, use /znc JumpNetwork <network>,
                   or connect to ZNC with username jeroen/<network> (instead of just jeroen)

Hence the user/network

Yes. That's exactly what this bug is describing.

[rschuetzler]

Put the network slug in the username. So rather than:

 (moznet "alex" "hunter2")

you need to include the slug in the username like so:

(moznet "alex/moznet" "hunter2")

This is one of ZNC's built-in methods for dealing with multiple networks for the same user.

@hammerheadlemon you could also do what I do and patch ZNC.el with #14.
