[Gaim-devel] Away message request

[Tim H. <Tim...@fu...>]

Hey guys,

I have a really stupid question: I want to extend a gaim plugin with
some features (just for myself [and if its good enough also for the
public]). I'm searching for some days for the part in the source code of
the oscar protocol which handles a away message request. I mean, if
another ICQ user opens a new conversation the default ICQ client will
request the away message of the user. Now, my question is where gaim
handles this request. In which source file / function I have to search.
It would be really great, if you can answer me this question. Thanks a lot.

Best regards,
Tim

Hey,

yeah, the ICQ Lite client requests the away message at the beginning of
each conversation and shows it inside the chat window. This was just an
example. I wont implement this "feature" in gaim. I just search for the
source file which sends the status message to a client (there must be
such a function, or am I wrong?) to figure our who read my away message.
Do you understand? Just a little extension for the "statusnotifiy"
plugin. Just a little extension for myself (like the miranda plugin
whoreadmystatusmessage) and maybe the public (if anybody is interested in).

Regards,
Tim

For ICQ?  I guess the call stack is something like
libgaim/server.c:serv_get_info
libgaim/protocols/oscar/oscar.c:oscar_get_info
libgaim/protocols/oscar/family_icq.c:aim_icq_getallinfo

That's for Gaim 2.0.0 beta 6.  And it might not actually work... this is one
of the features of ICQ that Gaim doesn't support very well.
