Version: 0.12.7 (using 3.5.9, Kubuntu (hardy) 4:3.5.9-0ubuntu7.1) Compiler: Target: i486-linux-gnu OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.24-17-generic Description says it all. Would be cool if kopete would support the new chat function in facebook. Since other messengers are starting to support it, it should be possibile. See at: http://www.allfacebook.com/2008/05/adium-to-support-facebook-chat/
Facebook is a growing reality. Supporting it should be interesting!
This news sounds like I can close my wish again: http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/allfacebook/~3/289810669/ Unfortunately the source is not linked. But I guess it is ok. So I close the wish and reopen it just in case this news turns out to be not true.
Closing wish, Facebook announced to support Jabber/XMPP.
Wonderful!
Facebook will not add Jabber support until they launch their own client. Bug should not be marked as resolved. Pidgin is supporting Facebook.
Wish still valid, reopening.

Since it doesn't look like facebook is opening up directly, it would be really great if FB-chat could be supported like in other messengers.
I'm with Pidgin now until kopete gets Facebook chat support. A lot of people are using facebook chat as their main IM now - mainly because it tends to attract a wider cross section of the populus - who wouldn't otherwise use IM. Hope Kopete can catch up soon! Is anyone working on a fb plugin? Anyone want support?
I second the wish, would be nice not to have to have a FB window open all the time because of the chat..
Is anyone working on this? I am certainly looking forward to the day when Kopete supports Facebook IM.
It would be great to have the FB chat in an app rather than in a browser window! Please consider it ...
Is there any way to help developing the plugin?
Is this something which can only be done by an Kopete internal or would it be possible by someone who want to get into it? If it possible for externals, it would be cool if there would be a kind of profile (what needs to be done, what qualifications are needed). Then it could be announced on the commit-diggest and/or the dot. May be there is someone up for the fame?
@14: I'm not a KDE/Kopete dev but I don't see any reason why an external couldn't make this.
I am submitting this as my proposal for Google Summer of Code
This sounds very cool. I hope you succeed :-) May be, I do not know how different the work for this would be, you could design it in way that it is easy to pick the IM-functionality of other social networks. There is MyVZ/StudiVZ/SchulerVZ (a facebook clone in Germany, Austria and Switzerland with 10 million users) and I heard Myspace (I don't use that) which has also messaging.
this would be absolutely awesome!
Facebook Activity Stream looks like it could be parsed for Facebook wall posts / chat as a plugin for Kopete.
I take this enhancement, as I already got the first usable version: see: http://duncan.mac-vicar.com/blog/archives/541
(In reply to comment #20) > I take this enhancement, as I already got the first usable version: > > see: http://duncan.mac-vicar.com/blog/archives/541 I would really like to help you testing this.
Is there a package available for Kubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty)? I would help test it as well.
http://github.com/dmacvicar/kopete-facebook/tarball/release_0_1_3 is the latest source tarball?
Gentoo ebuild available in http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=280153 A patch was needed to fix linking: http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=200005 You should link against QtNetwork and QtGui (you use both in your code). QJson links against QtCore, but is missing to setup the library path *?* Could be a bug in QJson's pkgconfig, or you destroy the already setup path somehow, I am not sure about that.
First feedback: - In the setup dialogue you ask for a password, but Kopete itself asks for the password again just after clicking OK. - There is no visible feedback whether the connection was successfull or not, or whether we are connected at all. (gray facebook icon, or similar) - Afterwards nothing happens. No new buddies in my list, nothing.
(In reply to comment #25) > - Afterwards nothing happens. No new buddies in my list, nothing. Sorry, there does something happen. Just not as much as I assumed: I have a new category "Facebook", which shows myself as being offline. My Friends are missing there. Question: How did you do this without me every having to register a "Kopete/Facebook" application to Facebook? How do you access the data?

There's an external facebook plugin now. I think we can go ahead and close this bug. It's being shipped in Kubuntu Karmic and openSUSE for sure. I don't doubt that other distros will pick it up soon, if they haven't already.
