Description Douglas E. Warner 2003-02-11 17:59:56 UTC

Version:            (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

It appears that the jabber plugin for Kopete only supports the 'chat' show element for presence, where it has been common practice in other programs to use an empty show element to indicate a 'normal' availability.  Because of this, many other programs like Gabber or Exodus show Kopete Jabber users as 'Chatty' or 'Free to chat', which may not be what they actually mean.

See this document for clarification on the show element and its values:
http://docs.jabber.org/general/html/protocol.html

I propose that the normal 'Online' status uses an empty show element, while the 'Chat' option remains to select this show element.

Same problem for me.
I'm shown "free for chat" in both Jabber and Jabber ICQ plugin, where it should
just be  "available".

Using your debian package

CVS commit by gerken: 

Going online incorrectly set the show element in the presence information to
"chat" instead of leaving it empty. Added support for normal availability
and "Free to Chat".

It seems that this patch was not backported to the 0.6 branch, can anybody verify this? 
For the reporter, is this problem fixed in CVS? If yes, this bug should be re-opened and 
tagged for Kopete 0.6.2.

Comment 5 S 2003-07-17 11:34:36 UTC

This is still an issue for me in 0.6.1a...

Comment 6 Till Gerken 2003-07-17 16:01:03 UTC

This is fixed in CVS, please upgrade to 0.6.2 (not sure if fixed there) or wait for the 
upcoming 0.7 release.
