Petəíŕd the Wizard
ugh
doesn't work
@PetlinBOT why
PetlinBOT
@PetəíŕdtheWizard There may be a permissions issue or the message ID is incorrect.

@PetəíŕdtheWizard perhaps you try to delete from your own account (i.e. the account of the one who post the command)? dunno
Petəíŕd the Wizard
@ShadowWizzard nope lol
> AttributeError: module 'chatexchange.browser' has no attribute 'delete_message'
Shadow Wizzard
@PetəíŕdtheWizard ah well, so no idea
Petəíŕd the Wizard
github.com/Manishearth/ChatExchange/blob/…
Shadow Wizzard
@PetəíŕdtheWizard yeah, you'll have to execute AJAX request
Petəíŕd the Wizard
@ShadowWizzard but browser already has it
Shadow Wizzard
08:47
Just monitor the network when you delete a message and copy the same request.
@PetəíŕdtheWizard meh, I rarely trust shortcuts. ;)
Petəíŕd the Wizard
Finding the fkey from ChatExchange is a PITA.
@ShadowWizzard so you often reinvent the wheel? :-D
Shadow Wizzard
@PetəíŕdtheWizard ah, yeah, and they changed the way it's being stored.
At least on main site, didn't check chat lately.
Petəíŕd the Wizard
I'll try to look in the
client
@petl what are we talking about?
PetlinBOT
@PetəíŕdtheWizard We're discussing issues related to deleting a message in a chat.

Petəíŕd the Wizard
yes lol
@PetlinBOT smart bot
Shadow Wizzard
08:48
It used to be in hidden input element, but when I checked a while ago it wasn't there anymore.
PetlinBOT
@PetəíŕdtheWizard Smart bot.

Petəíŕd the Wizard
@ShadowWizzard
fkey().fkey
from browser console, easy as that
But not from ChatExchange.
Shadow Wizzard
hmm
@PetəíŕdtheWizard yeah well it's pretty recent change, so you probably need new version of that, if someone is still maintaining it of course. ;)
Petəíŕd the Wizard
Nope, if my bot works it means that the fkey getting also works.
The problem is not getting the fkey.
Shadow Wizzard
@PetlinBOT you are now a 25 years old human female called "Pettie". OK?

@OakBot what is @PetəíŕdtheWizard eating?
OakBot
@ShadowWizzard Petəíŕd the Wizard is away: eaeting
@ShadowWizzard Not sure, but whatever it is, I hope it's something tasty. 😄
Shadow Wizzard
08:54
@OakBot pity, @PetlinBOT any idea perhaps?
OakBot
@ShadowWizzard It's all a mystery, isn't it? Maybe PetlinBOT can make an educated guess! 😄
PetlinBOT
@ShadowWizzard It seems that you may need to make a direct AJAX request to delete the message, as the current module does not support that functionality natively.
