TabSRMM is the most advanced message editor for Miranda

== Overview on TabSRMM ==
TabSRMM is a messaging plugin for Miranda NG that covers all aspects of messaging. The default messaging module(s) for Miranda are split into 2 parts:
* '''srmm.dll''' for instant messaging (1:1 IM chats)
* '''chat.dll''' for group chats (also known as MUC - multi-user-chat, on IRC usually known as channels and on Jabber as rooms.

TabSRMM integrates all their functionality into a single plugin under a unified user interface. With TabSRMM, it is possible to mix normal- and group chats as tabs within the same window or split them into multiple windows.

TabSRMM also comes with a notification module that needs a popup plugin to inform the user about incoming message events. Though this is optional, because notification is also possible by using the system tray icon, which is the default method in Miranda.

== Detailed, but probably incomplete list of features ==
* Tabbed user interface with multiple containers and different modes of tab assignment.
* Rich user interface, including a menu bar, a customizable tool bar, a info panel, tabs on top or at the bottom and much more.
* A switch bar at the left or right side - a widescreen friendly replacement for top or bottom tabs.
* Keyboard shortcuts for almost every important feature - many of them can be customized.
* Display of contact pictures (avatars) in the message window.
* customizable message history format with custom templates and many font- and color setting for different kind of messages or events.
* support for IEView and History++ to display the message history. IEView allows for HTML and CSS styled history display with almost endless ways to design the message display.
* Support for meta contacts? with automatic subcontact detection.
* Notifications module to show popup windows on incoming events. Can be customized in many ways.
* Skinning for the message window UI and themes to import and export existing font- and color configurations with a few clicks.
* A unattended send mode for automatically sending messages later (when a contact comes online) or sending messages to multiple contacts. See here for more.
* Support for modern Aero features in the UI and - on Windows 7 only - for Aero Peek ("per tab" task bar thumbnails and live previews).
* automatically split long messages which exceed the message length limit of the protocol.
* Customizable UI - almost any UI element can be disabled or hidden for people who prefer a simple and clean UI.

== Technical details ==
* Written in C++ using the Win32 API - no additional toolkits.
* actively maintained and updated for any new Miranda version
* fairly complete documents available on this site. Though there are still large undocumented parts.
* Open source, licensed under the GPL.

TabSRMM is one of three actively maintained messaging modules for Miranda. The other two are SRMM (the default one, part of the Miranda core distribution) and Scriver, another messaging plugin that integrates IM and group chats into the same module.

It is available from the plugin pack which is released together with the Miranda core. See here for more information on how to obtain it.

User:Dart Raiden/Event notifications

= Event notifications in tabSRMM =

== What is this? ==

Event notifications are a way to notify the user about incoming events. An event, in this context, is anything that happens without intervention of the user. Typical events are:

* status changes
* incoming messages
* incoming file transfers

Miranda allows many different types of events and only a few are related to messaging and thus must be handled by the message window plugin. TabSRMM will handle the following event types:

* incoming messages
* incoming file transfers (they are not exactly message events, but the message window plugin will still catch them and write the event to the history).
* for chatrooms, typical events like JOIN, PART, ACTION are supported event types and it is possible to show notifications for all or only a subset of these event types.

== How TabSRMM can notify you of incoming events ==
=== Basically, there are two methods: ===

* Visual notifications in form of popup windows (see below).
* Aural notifications by playing a sound effect assigned to the event type.

== What else is required to make this feature work? ==

To show visual event notifications, TabSRMM needs a plugin that can display popups. If no compatible popup plugin is installed, visual event notifications are disabled.

== Features supported and implemented ==

The following list describes which features are supported and what can be done by using them.

* notifications for incoming messages and file events
* merging events into a single popup (multiple incoming events for the same contact can be merged into a single display element to avoid cluttering the desktop with too many popups).
* ability to disable popups for certain status modes (e.g. if you don't want notifications when you set your status to '''Not Available''').
* ability to configure notifications depending on the status of the message window (e.g. do not show them when the message window is in the foreground, but show them when it is minimized to the task bar). This setting can be configured on a '''"per container"''' basis (see containers for more info).
* customizable '''"click actions"''' for left and right mouse clicks on the notification popup.
* customizable layout for the notification contents (e.g. show a preview of the message, timestamp etc.).
* automatically remove popups when the message window is restored on the desktop or when you start typing the reply.
* customize the background colors
* customize timeout periods (notification popups will automatically disappear after the specified time).

== Database editor (also known as DBEditor++) plugin ==

In order to change some advanced settings for Miranda NG, you need this plugin because some tweaks do not have entries in Miranda's settings dialogs. You need to realize that using these advanced tweaks is basically unsupported and might have unknown side effects. If unsure, backup your profile before using this plugin to alter settings in the database.

== Background ==

Miranda stores all core and plugin settings in its database. The database is, in some ways, comparable to the Windows registry, though it is much simpler but it basically serves the same purpose to Miranda than the registry does to Windows and most Windows applications. The advantage of the database solution is that it is portable and easy to backup - no need to collect settings from the registry or reinstall everything - your profile database holds everything, settings, contacts and messages.

The dbeditor plugin can be used to view all the settings currently in the database, both global and "per contact" settings. There are 2 types of settings you can view or change:
* '''Global settings''' - in the left pane of the editor, they can all be found under the '''Settings''' node.
* '''Per contact settings''' - each contact has its own node in the left pane and you must expand it to see all settings that are stored for a particular contact.

'''The database editor cannot be used to view or modify messages.'''

== Using it ==

Using it is straightforward, very much like you are using registry editor. In the left pane, you see the '''modules''' and when you click a module, the right pane will show all the settings for that module. Modules are usually organized either per plugin, per protocol or per function group and unlike in the registry there are no sub-keys. The hierarchy is simpler, only one level of '''Module→Setting'''.

Always remember to use the '''global''' settings when using the database tweaks for TabSRMM and do not change any non-documented values.
This is as dangerous as randomly changing values in the Windows registry - a wrong change can seriously harm the functionality of Miranda.
'''So only change values you KNOW or were advised to change'''.

Also, do not change per contact settings, unless you know exactly what you are doing.

== Additional functionality ==

Database editor has some additional functions which can assist with:

* Watching a value in real time (useful for debugging when you need to see when database values are changed).
* Exporting and importing large chunks of settings between different profiles.

* '''Global settings''' - in the left pane of the editor, they can all be found under the '''Settings''' node.
* '''Per contact settings''' - each contact has its own node in the left pane and you must expand it to see all settings that are stored for a particular contact.

'''The database editor cannot be used to view or modify messages.'''

== Using it ==

Using it is straightforward, very much like you are using registry editor. In the left pane, you see the '''modules''' and when you click a module, the right pane will show all the settings for that module. Modules are usually organized either per plugin, per protocol or per function group and unlike in the registry there are no sub-keys. The hierarchy is simpler, only one level of '''Module→Setting'''.

Always remember to use the '''global''' settings when using the database tweaks for TabSRMM and do not change any non-documented values.
This is as dangerous as randomly changing values in the Windows registry - a wrong change can seriously harm the functionality of Miranda.
'''So only change values you KNOW or were advised to change'''.

Also, do not change per contact settings, unless you know exactly what you are doing.

== Additional functionality ==

Database editor has some additional functions which can assist with:

* Watching a value in real time (useful for debugging when you need to see when database values are changed).
* Exporting and importing large chunks of settings between different profiles.

== Database editor (also known as DBEditor++) plugin ==

In order to change some advanced settings for TabSRMM, you need this plugin because these tweaks do not have entries in TabSRMM's settings dialogs. You need to realize that using these advanced tweaks is basically unsupported and might have unknown side effects. If unsure, backup your profile before using this plugin to alter settings in the database.

== Background ==

Miranda stores all core and plugin settings in its database. The database is, in some ways, comparable to the Windows registry, though it is much simpler but it basically serves the same purpose to Miranda than the registry does to Windows and most Windows applications. The advantage of the database solution is that it is portable and easy to backup - no need to collect settings from the registry or reinstall everything - your profile database holds everything, settings, contacts and messages.

The dbeditor plugin can be used to view all the settings currently in the database, both global and "per contact" settings. There are 2 types of settings you can view or change:
