[Gaim-devel] gaim_connection usage

[James L. <ius...@op...>]

Hello

I wrote  a plugin.  It is supposed to forward messages that I recieve from 
user1 to user2.  I have most of it striaghtened out.  If I make the recieving 
user (user2) myself, (i.e. I send messages that user1 sends to me to the 
screen name that I am loged on to), then the plugin works fine.  

The problem occurs when I try to send a message which I have recieved from 
user1 to user2, where user2 is someone other than myself.  I get a dialog 
propt asking me if I want to direct connect to user2.  I don't want to direct 
connect to user2!  Anyway, even if I click the yes button on the dialog box, 
it refuses to direct connect me.  

My theory to this whole thing is that I am sending over the wrong connection.
I have not too much knowledge of gaim, so that could be the case.  I have 
read the HACKING file, read about PRPLS, and looked at the multi.h file, yet 
I am still a bit confused as to how the gaim_connections work.

Code in question

typedef struct {
  char **handle;  //array of strings pointing to aim screen names
  size_t count;
} snarray; 

snarray read_from;
snarray write_to;
/* checks to see if a person is on the reroute list */
int is_on_list(char *who)
{
  int i;
  for (i = 0; i<read_from.count; i++) {
	if (!(strcasecmp(read_from.handle[i], who)))
	  return 1;
  }
  return 0;
}

/* send messages from one person to another*/
static void reroute(struct gaim_connection *gc, char **who,
					char **text, guint32 *flags) 
{
  int i;
  size_t sn_size, text_size, buf_size;
  char buf[MAX_MESSAGE];
  char *pbuf, *temp;
  char temp_text[MAX_MESSAGE];

  if (!(is_on_list(*who)))
	return;
  sn_size = strlen(*who);
  text_size = strlen(*text);
  if (sn_size + text_size > MAX_MESSAGE - 3) {
	/* -3 because of terminating nul and ": " between name and text*/
	strncpy(temp_text, *text, MAX_MESSAGE - 3 - sn_size);
	*(temp_text + MAX_MESSAGE -2 -sn_size) = 0; // nul terminator
  } else {
	strcpy(temp_text, *text);
  }
  pbuf = stpcpy(buf, *who);
  pbuf = stpcpy(pbuf, ": ");
  strcpy (pbuf, *text);

  buf_size = strlen(buf);
  if ( buf_size > MAX_MESSAGE )
	buf_size = MAX_MESSAGE;
  for (i = 0; i < write_to.count; i++) {
	if (strcmp(*who, write_to.handle[i])) 
	  /*can I send a message to a different user over the same gc that I used to
              **recieve a message from another user?*/
	  serv_send_im(gc, write_to.handle[i], buf, buf_size, *flags);   
  }
}

char *gaim_plugin_init(GModule *handle)
{
  load_config();  //function reads in screen names who need messages forwarded
  gaim_signal_connect(handle, event_im_recv, reroute, NULL);
}

thank you very much
