[Gmailagent-devel] libgmail: adding support for multiple lines in the notes

[Stas Z <sta...@gm...>]

Waseem,

First things first:
We don't have support for multiple lines in the contacts notes because
the part of
the page we parse only gets the first partial line from the original
contacts notes.

A solution comes from the SF user "posey_p"

Contacts Notes =20

Hi. Is there a way to read all of the "Notes" information under a Contact?=
=20
=20
When my contacts have a long Notes field, it reads part of the field,
and the trailing ellipses (...), rather than reading the whole field.

      Sort of figured it out ...=20
      add this to class GmailAccount:=20
      =20
      def getSpecInfo(self,id):=20
      """=20
      Return some cool notes data.=20
      """=20
      myURL =3D _buildURL(search=3D'contacts',ct_id=3Did,c=3Did,at=3Dself._=
cookieJar._cookies['GMAIL_AT'],view=3D'ct')
      pageData =3D self._retrievePage(myURL)=20
      myData =3D self._parsePage(myURL)=20
      for x in myData['cov']:=20
      print x=20
      print=20
      =20
      # myData contains values other than 'cov'=20

I have implemented this into libgmail to provide multiline support.
I paste the relevant pieces from the CVS diff.
