Description Tillmann Falck 2003-09-09 11:27:38 UTC
Version:            (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

several wishes for the jabber groupchat:

- display the name of the sender and not always the channelname
- fill contactlist with people in room
- don't display own messages twice (not that important)

I've checked it with psi and it seems to support this
Comment 1 Till Gerken 2003-09-15 10:11:22 UTC
Groupchat is still very alpha, it's on the todo list though. I hope to be able 
to extend it soon.
Comment 2 Jon Scobie 2003-09-26 00:15:28 UTC
Yep, I get the same problems. Just to confirm. 
Comment 3 Andy Parkins 2004-03-04 12:48:56 UTC
I just read an article on kdedevelopers that said that there was not very much feedback/wishlist/demand for the jabber plugin.  I'd like to add my voice to the meagre list.  I'd also like to say that the reason I personally haven't been pestering about this is because I'd read that it was in progress and don't like to bother developers (who have enough to do).  If there are others like me, I'd suggest not putting down to lack of demand what can be ascribed to politeness.  Kopete is great, it's my main IM client now.  It will be perfect when it gets these last little bits and bobs in the jabber client.  Keep up the good work.
Comment 4 Till Gerken 2004-03-04 15:35:27 UTC
I'm working on upgrading to the latest and greatest version of our Jabber backend right now, so I hope that the plugin will evolve a bit in the following weeks/months.

Feature requests and bug reports are always welcome though. I might not always have time to work on the plugin, but it's good to know which items on my todo list I should prioritize.

If the summary of this bug were improved to be recognizable by regular Kopete users, it wouldn't get so many duplicates.

Furthermore, I don't see how this can be categorized as wishlist, when the group chat feature is already in Kopete, but doesn't work.  Outgoing messages don't work at all, as I attempted to report in Bug 80494.
Comment 8 Till Gerken 2004-04-27 23:25:18 UTC
It has been disabled in HEAD since it involves rather large changes and I don't know when I'll get around to do it, yet people keep complaining about the partial support. On top of that, groupchat is superseded by multi-user chat, which is a new version of that protocol.

If you have a better suggestion for the bug title, feel free to answer. We can always retitle it.
Comment 9 Till Gerken 2004-05-30 02:06:39 UTC
CVS commit by gerken: 

Adding basic group chat support to the Jabber plugin. This is accompanied by
quite a bit of refactoring, introducing a bit of instability. The group chat
code is by no means stable yet and needs lots of testing, so expect a few
crashes here and there. The code will mature over the next weeks, I just
wanted to get the feature itself in before the freeze.

Kopete does not really like the way Jabber handles group chats, so this will
eventually also reveal a few flaws in libkopete's internals.

Send missing features and bugs to http://bugs.kde.org please, I'll take care
of them.

Changing title to reflect new JEP, since group chat has been implemented.

Comment 12 Richard Bos 2004-08-02 23:46:52 UTC
Is this new functionality or will it be part of kde-3.3 or kde-3.4?
Comment 13 Till Gerken 2004-08-03 08:40:12 UTC
It's new and will be part of KDE 3.3.
Comment 14 Sander Devrieze 2005-05-28 16:55:34 UTC
Is it in KDE?
Comment 15 Till Gerken 2005-05-29 12:21:15 UTC
It is in KDE 3.4 but improvements are in the SVN trunk. I've been absent for a long time and only got back to working on the Jabber plugin a short time ago. The original issues in this bug have been fixed, I'm still keeping it as a generic placeholder for "full MUC support" though.
Comment 16 Christian Weiske 2006-02-02 18:59:36 UTC
I just set up MUC (multi user chat) on my own jabber server and have some notices:
- The group chat itself works very nice. What bothers me are the names of the people in there - they are <roomname>@<server>/<username>. That is really annoying if you have a small window and can't see the full name. Is it possible to show the names only, removin room@server?
- There is no way to browse the room list, even though the services list shows the conference plugin.
Comment 17 Sander Devrieze 2006-03-17 21:54:48 UTC
@Christian Weiske: you need to report a wish for that or use another client such as Coccinella that have that default behaviour that you want.
Comment 18 oort 2006-07-16 16:35:20 UTC
If I join the MUC room and someone have written something earlier but he isn't available now, Kopete won't display his messages. Psi will, so I think it's a Kopete bug.

Comment 22 Andreas Hoheneder 2007-12-05 09:16:55 UTC
I noticed that the chatlog in MUC does not show who was the person speaking. With single user chat, that is no problem but if there are more then 2 people in the channel it becomes quite confusing (and honestly thats really not standard behaviour).
Comment 23 Christoph Cullmann 2024-09-18 18:27:09 UTC
Dear user, unfortunately Kopete is no longer maintained.

Please migrate to another solution, e.g. for Jabber a possibility is Kaidan, for Matrix a candidate is NeoChat.
