[bme-develop] First User Diplay Picture Received !!!

[D. G. <A00...@it...>]

Hello guys, 

I have good news for you. I have successfully requested and received a 
user display picture (take a look, it's my brother's). This is a great 
step forward, although there is still a lot of work in perfecting this 
process. Right now some parameters of the request are hardcoded, taken 
from an example session, those will need to be calculated. There is 
also the matter merging my changes with the code in the CVS, storing 
this image with the contact information, and also showing in the 
Conversation window... I will be working on all of this issues.

Regards,
Héctor

[bme-develop] New project files!

[Sir M. <obe...@ho...>]

Hey guys,

added two new project files to cvs and removed the old ones! 
Bme_x86_BONE.proj builds a bme for BONE and Bme_x86_netserver.proj should 
build a bme for netserver...can someone using netserver test this? Remember 
to update both project files when adding or removing new files to them!!!!

regards,

Tim

[bme-develop] P2P code

[Sir M. <obe...@ho...>]

Hi guys,

a quick update from me! The status code is now working fine and I'm 
currently working on adding group support to Bme. I do have a question about 
that...what I want to do is the following, I want to make an object 
ContactList that contains all the Contact Objects along with the groups send 
by the LSG command...I will make this ContactList archivable so the list can 
be cached! Do you have any idea where I should put this class? I think the 
cleanest way of handling the caching of list+ user info will be by letting 
the BmeApp class write it...any other/better ideas? btw automatically loggin 
in is broken now in the CVS version, but will be functioning again when I 
add the cache code!

I also have been reading up on the p2p protocol:
>Right now it has no use. We will need it to create msn Objects tags
>once we introduce user display pictures and custom emoticons. So far
>Bme only stores msnObjects from the contacts in your list, it doesn't

Ok you probably found this out already, but in case you haven't, I'll state 
the obvious. Zoronax' site gives the following causes of a 500 Internal 
error:

#  Incorrect "Content-Type" field
If the message you received contains a "Content-Type" field with an type 
which is not supported by your client, you should reply with a "500 Internal 
Error" on the Status-Line. The value of the "Content-Type" field should be 
"null" and it shouldn't have content, so the "Content-Length" field has 
value "0".

# Incorrect field(s) in the Message Body
If some fields in the Message Body contain a value you don't agree with, you 
should also reply with a "500 Internal Error" on the Status-Line, but the 
value of the "Content-Type" field should have the same value as the received 
message. The Message Body should now only have the field "SessionID" with 
the Identifier of the Session as value.

So if you look at the content type you'll be able to determine which of 
these two errors you get in response....if it's null it's the first one, if 
it isn't it's the second....any idea which of these two errors it is?

oh btw...Daniel is your p2p code in CVS? (make sure you make a backup from 
your old code before checking out cvs, just to be sure...I don't know in how 
far my code breakes stuff....but lots of things have been changed!!!!)...if 
you upload the p2p code commented I can have a look at it too!

regards,

Tim

Re: [bme-develop] Major update + some errors

[Sir M. <obe...@ho...>]

Hi guys,

uploaded the new Contact code to cvs...hope this doesn't break other things. 
Also added code that loads most of the status icons from the iconprefs file! 
You'll need icons in the icons/status/ subdir to run this new version of 
Bme...I use the icons Simon gave a while ago(since I do not have any 
others)...so what should I do...upload these icons into cvs or leave it up 
to you to come up with some icons? (and wait till remi has completed his new 
icons)....Btw not sure what to do with two icons...sign out and 
blocked...these aren't real statutes right? any ideas on that? Btw....if my 
code breaks anything I would like to know!

Tim

Hi, this is documentation I am using for the msn objects, http://zoronax.bounceme.net/msn6/ 
. I guess your approach can be used to move the protocol specific code 
to another specialized part of the program to handle the communication. 
Still it would be useful that the contact class stored a msn object 
tag, by calling this setUserPicture method.  I was thinking of the 
MsnObject class as the translator from user/picture to tag. Right now 
the contact class has a method setMsnObject, this receives a pointer to 
this tag's string.

Daniel

Could you give me the documentation(links) that you are using? Then I can

But what I was thinking was the following: I made a method setUserPicture in 
the Contact class; user emoticons could be sent to the IconManager...thus 
using the MsnObject in the protocol, but not in the High Level Bme classes 
(Contact and User)....would this be possible? Otherwise I add the MsnObject 
code to the Contact class!

My suggestion is to use this code instead. I am not sure is this is the 
problem or not but, you might want to try it out:
		statusIcon = cast_as(BBitmap::Instantiate(&msg),BBitmap);

I am not sure, but it might had to do with the BMessage that you are 
passing to Status::Instantiate, how are you creating the objects?

Right now it has no use. We will need it to create msn Objects tags 
once we introduce user display pictures and custom emoticons. So far 
Bme only stores msnObjects from the contacts in your list, it doesn't 
create one for the user. To update you on getting display pics, Bme now 
is able to send invitations to request your conversation buddy's 
display picture, so far the only response I get is 500 Internal Error, 
this means there is something wrong in the invitation, I believe the 
problems is in the msn Object encoding but I haven't been able to 
figure it out.

[bme-develop] Major update + some errors

[Sir M. <obe...@ho...>]

Hey guys,

I'm doing a major update of the contact related code. We now have a Contact 
class that represents contacts of course... a User class that represents the 
user(and reimplements some of the contact methods to deliver user specific 
behaviour, like for the userpic functions)...I also made a Status class to 
represent msnstatusses(stati?)...and a ContactItem class that draws the 
contacts in the ContactListView. I've almost got this code working...but 
there seems to be smth wrong with the Status archiving code...maybe some of 
you can help, this is the BArchivable related code:

Status::Status(BMessage* archive)
{
	archive->FindString("Status::statusName",&statusName);
	archive->FindString("Status::statusAbbreviation",&statusAbbreviation);

	BMessage msg;
	if (archive->FindMessage("Status::statusIcon",&msg) == B_OK)
	{
		BArchivable* obj = instantiate_object(&msg);
		statusIcon = dynamic_cast<BBitmap*>(obj);
	}
}

BArchivable* Status::Instantiate(BMessage *archive)
{
	if (validate_instantiation(archive, "Status"))
      return new Status(archive);
    return NULL;
}

status_t Status::Archive(BMessage *archive, bool deep) const
{
	archive->AddString("class","Status");
	archive->AddString("Status::statusName",statusName);
	archive->AddString("Status::statusAbbreviation",statusAbbreviation);
	if(deep)
	{
		BMessage child;
		statusIcon->Archive(&child);
		archive->AddMessage("Status::statusIcon",&child);
	}
	return B_OK;
}

the program crashes on startup...it seems there's something going wrong in 
the validate_instantiation method...it crashes saying that there was a 
segment fault in strcmp in that function...any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Btw Daniel do we need to have the MsnObject in the Contact class(like we had 
it in the MsnBuddy code)? What does this MsnObject code do anyway?

Oh and I'm also talking with Remi of BeosFrance to help us with designing 
some emoticons...he sent me some already, and they look very promising.

regards,

Tim

Re: [bme-develop] Bme disconnecting?

[Simon T. <sim...@ga...>]

Also if you are dialed up and lose your connection (my ISP disconnects 
me after 2 hours), not only does Bme not notice, but it usually goes to 
100% CPU usage in one of the receive threads and needs to be killed and 
restarted. Not sure how easy it is to detect being forcably 
disconnected like this though.

As for what to do about it, I would say mirror the windows approach - 
conversation windows change (send text box becomes inactive) and 
contact list reverts back to the sign in button (In our case it will 
revert to the User name and Password fields that I would like to be in 
the main window before signing in). Not sure an alert is necessary with 
all that, I'm not a big fan of alerts that steal the focus and demand 
immediate action before you can do anything else with your computer, 
especially when the user doesn't need to respond immediately.

[bme-develop] Bme disconnecting?

[Sir M. <obe...@ho...>]

Hi guys,

noticed a strange behaviour of Bme. When it loses connection, the contact 
list is still displayed, and the user can't see that he/she is offline! (I 
notice it at the point that I want to start a conversation) We should change 
this! Either by alerting the user of the connection that has been lost OR 
re-establishing the connection!

Maybe better tell Jixt what your plans are and split up the work....emoticon 
support in the type view would be nice too, for example! Also look at the 
screenshot remi from beosfrance sent us! grouping certain parts of 
conversation seems a good thing to do!

(Jixt) see the mockup! It also has three items with most used emoticons and 
one that pops up an emoticon chooser that looks like the MSN one! Maybe best 
way to proceed is to give our opinion on the mockup and then Jixt and Simon 
splitting up the work? Btw Jixt one change we did plan: the user picture for 
the chatter is now in the main window as you may have noticed and not in the 
chat window like msn does!

Uhm simon had a mockup I think! my purpose was to add the colour menu in the 
same menu as the font(below font->) but go ahead and upload your code into 
cvs.  In this colour menu I thought some  predefined colours should be 
available as well as one other option which pops up a bcolorchooser.  I 
don't have any problems with you programming on the chatwindow, but maybe 
you should talk to simon about this. I'll continue with the hotmail code and 
will move on to the contact list changes I proposed!

If it works, you might as well.

I've got big plans for that myself. I'll see how much time I have.

What could be helpful is working on the emoticon selection window - 
although we need to think about what the best way of doing that would 
be (categorising it? sorting it based on how often certain emots are 
used? etc)

I did have a mockup, but lost it...

Just try and think of the best possible way a user could see something, 
and you won't go far wrong ;)

need to remove the following lines:


    1)  BMenu *fontMenu =3D new BMenu("Font");
    2)  AddItem(fontMenu);

You also need to remove the following parts of the code:
    
    1) fontMenu->


When you do this, you will use 2 BMenu's instead of 3. May I enter this f=
ix in CVS? Who is busy with the conversation window? Otherwise I want to =
work on that... Is somebody busy with the emoticons in the conversation w=
indow? Can someone show me some mockups of it, so I can see how I have to=
 do the colorbox etc...

greets
   Jixt

Yes sounds good to me. Do you need the actual password or can we store 
it MD5 hashed or something? Keeping passwords in memory as plain text 
should be avoided if possible I think.

Dunno what that is, but sounds ok! :D

You got my previous email about using a few functions to get the data? 
We could just use them and store all the bits we need in a new protocol 
type structure. Or the map thing could work, but as we know what the 
fields are and which ones we need, the overhead of such a general 
container may not be worth it.

Yup OK.

Fine.

I've said before it would be nice if objects could register their 
interest in the contact list with whatever ends up storing it, for any 
changes, so chat windows and the main contact list will both be updated 
when anybody changes their screen name for example.

It makes sense to me to have NS handler be responsible for the contact 
list.

Me too.

I had to reduce the cryptlib timeout attribute to get it to log in (set 
in a couple of places in NS handler IIRC). Took it down from 60*2 
(don't know why Daniel had it that high?) to about 10/20 and it seems 
to work fine, even on dial-up.

I'm still in the middle of cleaning up CVS, give me a couple more days 
:)

It compiles!!! Thx guys! I will write down what you need to do if you 
want to compile it under Zeta. The only problem I have now is that it 
does not want to login... I will download the latest sources from CVS. 
Maybe it will work then

Good thing it works, that is great. You are right, the password is not 
being stored anywhere, it is only stored temporally in 
	char * MsnNSHandler::pass  (see MsnNSHandler::initMsnSession).
but it is destroyed after the user signs in (see 
MsnNSHandler::handleUSR).
I like the idea of a User class derived from Contact where we can hold 
this information. Common::yo will be an object of this type (yo means 
I, the pronoun, in spanish).

How about using the MsnProtocol class which is not being used right 
now.

What is the reason for this? Is it the id field? If so we can also get 
it in reply to a URL INBOX command. That would be something we'll need 
to add to MsnNSHandler so it can handle this type of commands and send 
BMessage reply with the value the to who asked for it.

I agree with you. We should move the code somewhere else. The 
MsnProtocol seems like a good place for it if you don't want to mix 
protocol code with view/app code.

Just keep in mind that there are places where the program needs to find 
a particular Contact object (MsnBuddy as of now). This happens by 
calling Common::getMsnBuddy, and this function works by sending a 
BMessage to the list that holds all the Contact objects 
(ContactListView as of now), which replys with a pointer to the object 
if it finds it. If we separate the Contact info from the 
ContactListItem we need a looper to hold the Contact list (maybe 
MsnNSHandler), so it can respond to Common::getMsnBuddy. 

Other than that I think it is a good idea to separate the views/app 
code from the protocol specific code.

Re: [bme-develop] Final BeMSN Release Progress

[Sir M. <obe...@ho...>]

Hi guys,

I've tested my hotmail code and it works! it generates a html file that can 
sign in to hotmail! But we have some problems in the program structure! 
first thing is the password! we need it to log in to hotmail but it's stored 
nowhere!

Secondly we get a bunch of URL information from the hotmail server, see 
http://www.hypothetic.org/docs/msn/notification/miscellaneous.php, I need 
some of those....now they are hardcoded into the program....so where do we 
store them?

Thirdly, right now I can only open hotmail messages if I get a initial mail 
message...but that's send only when you've unread mails....so we should 
figure out how to login without getting that message!

Fourthly, the code is a real mess now! I don't like the place where the mail 
code is stored(and especially the information): mailview contains mail info, 
and the mail handling code is placed in BmeApp...I don't like this! we 
should make it more flexible....

because we have a lot of protocol information and don't know where to store 
it I suggest making a class for it that we can query....Protocol or 
smth....or does anyone have a better idea! I think I will also change the 
profile info to a map structure....but leave it some time as it is!(it works 
now)

I really like to get started on changing the contact info classes as this is 
also needed for the hotmail integration(password)....I suggest making four 
new classes...
-two data classes: Contact and User(derives from contact,stores the 
password), these classes make it possible to cache contacts and users!
-a ContactItem class, this is the list item that draws the contacts
-a ListProducer class or smth that takes the Contact classes and turns them 
into corresponding ContactItem classes and puts them in a 
BOutlineListView(groups included)

what do you think about all of this?

regards,

Tim

Hello, I went through the same problems when compiling the source with 
Zeta. I had to modify the Looper.h header because it marks 
PostMessage() as deprecated 

//#ifdef _ZETA_USING_DEPRECATED_API_
// Deprecated, use BMessenger instead  

Another problem I had was that the function find_directory is located 
in libzeta.so and not in libbe.so so you have to include it to the 
project to link it.

Also, had to remove some of the sources from the User Interface folder 
to get BeIDE to use the NewGUI source.

Daniel

Re: [bme-develop] Final BeMSN Release Progress

[Sir M. <obe...@ho...>]

Jixt,

judging from your errors, also the wrong version of IconManager is chosen by 
BeIDE(it does this a lot)...it takes the IconManager(Loader etc.) from the 
UserInterface directory...you can see that from for example the MessageItem 
class, which doesn't exists anymore and is now called TaggedText...I suggest 
you delete the entire UserInterface dir, the only one needed is the NewGUI 
dir anyway,

regards,

Tim
