Description Julien Lorentz 2011-12-12 16:43:17 UTC

Version:           1.0.80 (using KDE 4.6.5) 
OS:                Linux

Few days ago (without any change of Facebook or Kopete config), Kopete started not recognizing my Facebook groups anymore. Now all my Facebook contacts are classified under a "Facebook friends" group...
I found this discussion on Miranda IM's website: http://forums.miranda-im.org/showthread.php?23928-Facebook-Discussion-(XMPP-Using-Jabber)/page14
The problem probably comes from a change of Facebook XMPP API. Instead of changing Kopete each time Facebook changes, you could add an option like Miranda's "keep contacts assigned to local groups".
Oh yeah and for sure if I move my contacts to their groups again, they come back to this "Facebook friends" group next time I start Kopete.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
All the time.


Expected Results:  
The same.

It's not a duplicate. There are some informations in both these posts which are the same. But the actual bug that I am posting is quite new and specific to Facebook. It came maybe two months ago.
It was never possible to use the clients groups, Kopete would use the server's ones automatically at each startup. But the new thing which came two months ago is that Kopete even doesn't use the server's group anymore (Facebook "lists"), but put all your contacts under a group called "Facebook contacts".

Wow, I've not used Kopete in years!! I have no idea if this bug is still up. I suppose there is no Facebook Messenger support for a long time, or is there? Hence I  have no problem "resolving" the bug.
