00:26:27 <EionRobb> ah, I probably want to use similar code to http://lxr.instantbird.org/instantbird/source/purple/purplexpcom/src/purpleCoreService.cpp#447 excep that mProtocols is protected so I couldn't add a new protocol directly
00:26:27 <EionRobb> maybe I can fake it as a javascript protocol
00:28:22 <clokep> EionRobb: All you want to do is add a new protocol?
00:28:44 <clokep> I think if you just drop it in libpurple/protocols and edit the makefile you should be good to go.
00:29:06 <clokep> That blog post should still be applicable.
00:29:29 <clokep> (Which protocol are you trying to add out of curiosity? :))
00:32:46 <EionRobb> I've been asked to port my okcupid protocol to instantbird
00:41:10 <clokep> Ah I see.
00:41:15 * clokep didn't know okcupid had chat.
00:41:58 <EionRobb> but once I get enough of a wrapper to port one plugin I can port the rest
00:42:16 <EionRobb> I'm trying to do it without dropping it in-tree
00:46:34 <EionRobb> is libpurple compiled with static_prpls in instantbird?
00:47:59 <clokep> I believe so.
00:48:13 <clokep> But I'm not sure, flo would know. :-/

08:15:16 <Mic> Good morning
08:15:24 <flo> Mic: hello :)
08:27:16 <flo> I'm surprised by the prices listed at http://www.aosabook.org/en/index.html#purchase I didn't know Amazon had such a big margin on books
08:36:56 <-- waynenguyen has quit (Connection reset by peer)
08:47:53 <Mic> hmm, working with two screens is so great :)

08:50:26 <Mic> There's no way to undo 'hide group' when you've accidently pressed the button, is it?
08:50:54 <flo> just show the group again
08:51:02 <flo> if you don't remember the name of that group, it's more complicated of course
08:51:43 <Mic> Ah, great ... I thought they were removed from the group :)

08:52:13 <flo> I've no idea what "removed from the group" could mean, so no, it's not that :-D

08:53:18 <Mic> In the sense that they've been actually moved from their old group into "Other contacts"
08:53:34 <flo> Other contacts is not a real tag
08:53:39 <flo> it's our first dynamic tag ;)
08:59:09 <flo> in case EionRobb reads the log: dropping the code in tree is the only way I've tried.
08:59:57 <flo> we currently link statically all the protocol plugins that are part of the default libpurple, but dynamically loaded libpurple plugins are still supported (in debug builds the nullprpl is loaded dynamically).
09:00:24 <flo> a protocol plugin compiled to work with Instantbird definitely need to be statically linked to http://lxr.instantbird.org/instantbird/source/purple/libpurple/protocols/xpcomModule.cpp.in
09:01:01 <flo> you probably don't need a full tree to build that, but you need at least the headers that this file includes
09:01:16 <flo> (which are likely to include many more headers in turn)
09:03:04 <flo> there are also of course several .lib files (on Windows, .so and .dylib for the other platforms) that would be needed for linking
09:05:10 <flo> the libpurple headers (+ glib on Windows/Mac) are also needed

09:21:53 * Mic has a "Blue - Red Alternating (Glass)" message style theme and the hacks to achieve it were absolutely minor :)
09:22:12 <flo> is there a diff we can look at? :)
09:22:35 <flo> and/or a screenshot (or is it the same appearance as last time?)
09:22:39 <Mic> No, but I can create one if I figure out how to fix the last problem
09:23:03 <Mic> It's different this time
09:28:12 <Mic> https://wiki.instantbird.org/File:IbGlassBubble2.png
09:29:39 <Mic> The thing is that I had to set the tabpanel to transparent (I definitely need to do this to make it shine through) and then I need to set the background of the elements around it to have the proper background color. Right now you see the glass splitter above the input area
09:29:53 <flo> ah, you played with the close button pref? :)
09:30:20 <Mic> Yes, I needed to check that everything looks fine with the restyle of the window
09:30:49 <flo> I wonder if there are people actually using that option or if we should just drop it to simplify the code

10:29:11 <Mic> flo: do you have a screenshot of it? I'm curious what it looks like
10:29:26 <flo> it's almost impossible to screenshot
10:29:39 <flo> ah, hmm, I'll try :)

10:37:54 <flo> Mic: http://queze.net/goinfre/top-conv-ui.png
10:42:05 <clokep> flo: Is there a drop down symbol or anything to show that that icon is clickable?
10:42:24 <flo> just the hand cursor when hovering it and there's a contact associated with the UI conversation
10:42:37 <clokep> Oh OK. :)
10:42:46 <flo> it's not very discoverable
10:42:53 <flo> but I'm not too sad if it's not discovered
10:43:00 <flo> geeks will find it
10:43:04 <flo> others probably don't need it
10:43:14 <clokep> Others won't have contacts. :-X
10:43:18 <flo> right
10:43:32 <flo> it's more discoverable than contact merging
10:44:01 <flo> although, if you set an alias on a buddy, it creates a contact for it to store the alias, so in some case the menu can exist with a single buddy :-/
10:45:49 <clokep> Can you have it exist if contact && buddies.length> 1?
10:45:57 <clokep> (Not sure if that property exists. :))
10:46:06 --> tymerkaev has joined #instantbird
10:46:51 <flo> clokep: we can test it (it requires a getBuddies call)
10:46:58 <flo> I'm not sure that's useful though
10:47:09 <clokep> OK. :)
10:47:16 <clokep> I guess showing it with only one isn't really harmful.
10:47:27 <clokep> Might just be confusing why it sometimes shows one and other times doesn't open.
10:47:28 <flo> the purpleConversation/UIConversation thing is pretty broken if you merge buddies of several existing purple conversations into a contact
10:47:29 <Mic> I guess people will rather complain that sometimes there isn't a menu with the single buddy in it ;)
10:47:41 <flo> I'm not even sure of what the expected behavior is in that case
10:48:11 <clokep> Merge the conversations? ;)
10:48:23 <clokep> Or just leave the newest and close the others?
10:48:27 <flo> Mic: well, people will complain and we we have an opportunity to learn about why our contact stuff is confusing :)
10:48:44 <flo> clokep: "newest"? uh? How do you know it's newer?
10:48:57 <clokep> Las tto receive / send a message.
10:49:29 <flo> what about keeping only the conversation of the most preferred/available buddy?
10:49:44 <flo> but actually, we should keep all the purpleConversation instances
10:49:54 <flo> it's the UI conversation that should go away
10:51:02 <flo> hmm, yes, the UI conversations attached to a no longer existing contact should just stop accepting messages, and have a system message explaining what happened
10:52:05 <clokep> "stop accepting messages" == disable the input box?
10:52:34 <flo> hmm, that would require UI changes. I just thought "don't attempt to send them, and maybe throw back an error message"
10:52:43 <clokep> OK. :)
10:52:48 <flo> is the input box disabled for disconnected accounts by the way?
10:52:56 <flo> I don't think so
10:53:47 <clokep> No. How would you type "/back" which brings you back online then? ;)
10:54:55 <flo> I would take a pen and write it forcefully on the surface of the screen :-P
