Facebook protocol

[chlopec]

I asked ghazan to provide me a hook when message is marked as read in Miranda so I could mark it at that time marked as read in Facebook. So hopefully it will be "fixed" in some future version, but I'm not sure when yet

Would it be possible to make an optional "seen" button that manually marks the message as read when using the "keep unread on server" switch? Even if the thing I quoted is implemented, I'd LOVE to be able to read some people's messages without having to immediately respond, because (as we probably all know) some people tend to freak out if you don't  .. And maybe make the "keep unread on server" switch a part of individual contact's settings = selectable for individual contacts?

KeepUnread is already supported on per contact basis, but you need to set it manually. There is no switch in gui for that.

Everything is possible, but I won't do this. It is useless. Instead of pressing "seen" button just send message to that contact ;-) (or open it and read it in browser)

Hi, I have 2 questions:

- As an user posted in this topic earlier, I get offline messages as a group chat. I'm using the final build; I didn't try yet the development version; is it the only way to fix it? I wonder if I can overwrite the miranda folder or I have to move the profile and install on a different folder?

- There is an option to use local for received messages; but when a contact reads my message, the time displayed is different (I guess it's the same facebook time like when if I disabled the option I mentioned before).
Is it possible to convert the read time displayed as the local time like it's done for the received messages? (then possibly taking into account to do that if the local time received message option is active)

Thanks

SpinalBlood,

1) Yes, you need development version to make it work. You can simply change source of updates in Options / Services / Plugin updater to development and then let it update.

2) You're right. I just commited a fix (now it respects that local timestamp setting also for read receipts) :-)

[SpinalBlood]

Cool, thanks

I woudn't say it's useless at all, even facebook has a "mark as read/unread" button and here (in combination with KeepUnread) a button with that functionality would be even more useful. I know it's kind of a niche thing, but that button would allow you to use facebook in miranda with keepUnread and WITHOUT the need to ever open the website, or having to have the last word in every conversation  (at this point you pretty much have to, otherwise the message will keep coming again after every reconnection). I understand it's in no way a priority, just a little feature suggest

[Robyer]

(at this point you pretty much have to, otherwise the message will keep coming again after every reconnection)

Actually I fixed this few minutes ago, so no such message will keep coming back 

So do you still really need that button?

Anything that prevents "unread" messages from coming over and over again makes me a super happy user!

I just tried updating to the developer version to get rid of these null chat rooms, but Miranda won't even start with that version. When will it be released as a stable build?

Obviously you didn't tried enough

You must update ALL plugins and core to development version, NOT only Facebook plugin. Then it must work. Or also try to manually download nightly version from website and replace your Miranda after your not working update.

Next stable might be released in a month or so. When all important bugs are fixed.

I think that this feature could be good option for ppl who use facebook chat on few devices...

For example : i have messenger on my phone and tablet.  when i use miranda to talk by fb chat - it grab messages and these messages dont append on the mobile devices - its good ! but same issue, when i dont answer to user ----> chat is marked as unread and on site or mobile application i need to open conversation and check that i read it

I dont know how much time this feature will  take from your life ( ) but if this option is something like few lines code , please add it ^^

it will be really helpful

[Robyer]

Exadith, hmm, ok, I'll think about it... ... ok, I'll add it in some future version

[fleycds]

Hi,

is there a way to synchronize the chat history between FB and Miranda? Things I have sent via browser or phone don't show up in my Miranda history. Could that be fixed? Or do I just have to activate some option I overlooked?

Sinon, this is not possible (yet). But maybe I'll implement it in the future.

Would absolutely love to see this feature. Now it's beginning to become more and more common to use facebook on multiple devices. I don't use facebook chat for personal use only. History is kinda important for me:)

This plugin is a great piece of code, keep up the good work!

[SpinalBlood]

A curiosity: sometimes some facebook contacts appears in the contact list in a trasparent mode. But sometimes they aren't.

Is it a facebook function or rather a clist_nicer function? I couldn't find such an option...

[Robyer]

SpinalBlood, it's a clist's function - "Dim idle contacts". And they are transparent because they are idle :-)
