[Gaim-devel] Support for SMS via ICQ

[F. <j_r...@ya...>]

Hi,

First I'd like to congratulate all you guys for the superb program
you've made. The last release has both great look and functionality.

Unfortunately I can't switch only to GAIM because I frequently send SMS
via ICQ (to be in touch with my girlfriend which is many miles away..
*sniff*), and GAIM SMS support only works for US phones.

I've been avaliating what it would take to add ICQ SMS support for GAIM.
On libicq2000 source, file src/SNAC-SRV.cpp,
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/libicq2000/libicq2000/src/SNAC-SRV.cpp?rev=HEAD&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup
. The method right on top explains most of the proccess. GAIM already as
a function, aim_icq_sendxmlreq(), which can be used as a base for this,
in src/protocols/oscar/icq.c
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/gaim/gaim/src/protocols/oscar/icq.c?rev=HEAD&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup
.

Spite GAIM plugin system seems easy, I know nothing about GTK
programming, so it would take me too much time to hack on this. I'd
rather keep that old ICKLE window open to send the SMSes. But in case
anybody wants to add this it can use this information I've gathered as a
jumpstart.

Regards,

José Fonseca

to add support for this, you would not need to know gtk, the ui code is 
entirely separated from the protocol code, and there is no gtk in oscar, 
in fact, other than the oscar.c file, all of our oscar (and thus icq) 
support is libfaim, which could be yanked out of gaim for use in any 
program. i know kingant has tried to get sms working at least once, 
thanks for the pointer.

At a protocol level no, but at an user interface level, you need to add
dialog box for the SMS message, or at least have a menu item saying
"Send via SMS", or something similar. This is what scares me, seriously!
