With Marcelo's BLM and GID patches applied, this problem is nearly eliminated. The only condition remaining is the ability to message temporary AIM contacts (everything else works)...so, this is nearly done. A fix for AIM contacts should be coming soon now that I know a little bit more about how that part works. *** Bug 71534 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** You can now see ICQ temporary contacts and added to your list, and AIM contacts once adding them to your list. All that's left to be done to close this bug is to add a Not Applicable status for AIM temporary contacts that allows sending messages, and that can wait until after 0.8.0 if necessary, IMHO. downgrading severity since it doesn't block a release anymore.

Why not use 'Unknown' instead? That status already exists and I assume it's
not too easy to add for AIM.

Either way, the KOS object that would be used would have to be equal to
online, but with a different icon or something to distinguish between
actually online and we can't know their status yet.

See my prior discussion. Unknown should be renamed to Not Applicable (or
something), and Unknown should be used for contacts when our account is
offline instead of Offline (since it is indeed unknown).
That's all a minor detail though - the point should be clear regardless.
Vertu sæll,

People can be unknown when you are online as well - You can't know the status of an unauthenticated AIM user - You can't know the status of an SMS user As such I think that Martijn is totally right, unknown is the correct status to use in this case, its the exact same as SMS. >Either way, the KOS object that would be used would have to be equal to >online, but with a different icon or something to distinguish between >actually online and we can't know their status yet. No Matt, you can send messages to someone marked as Unknown. That's why it's different from Offline.

I already know this. > - You can't know the status of an unauthenticated AIM user > - You can't know the status of an SMS user Right, and these should have the Not Applicable status. Unknown being reserved for cases where it is impossible to know (they would both be Unknown to the API, but with different names). Vertu sæll, New temp-contacts appear as online for me with current Kopete. Was this fixed in the meantime or am I lucky? :) Current status of this bug? Can it be closed? It's still there. fix 66259 and you'll fix this one *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 66259 *** |
