#10657: Preferred protocols
--------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Reporter: tremby | Owner: rekkanoryo Type: enhancement | Status: new Component: unclassified | Version: 2.6.3 Keywords: | --------------------------+------------------------------------------------- I have a lot of contacts who I see online through MSN or XMPP and Facebook (I'm using the third party plugin). As we all know, though, Facebook chat is terrible. If I want to talk to a particular friend who is online with both and I click their name I get a chat window open but it always seems to default to Facebook chat. A lot of the time I don't notice until messages start appearing twice or getting dropped, and then I switch. I'd like to tell Purple somehow that if it's available I want to prefer MSN or XMPP over Facebook. -- Ticket URL: <http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/10657> Pidgin <http://pidgin.im> Pidgin _______________________________________________ Tracker mailing list Tracker@... http://pidgin.im/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tracker |

However, before going that route do you have the facebook buddy above the other buddies (within the contact)? Linear order does matter some, see [wiki:"Using Pidgin#IgroupedmybuddiesintocontactscanIcontrolwhichoneisselected" this FAQ entry] for details. -- Ticket URL: <http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/10657#comment:2> Pidgin <http://pidgin.im> Pidgin _______________________________________________ Tracker mailing list Tracker@... http://pidgin.im/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tracker |

I could go through my blist.xml and move all the Facebook buddies to the bottom of their contacts but I don't trust the Facebook chat plugin to somehow undo that! Plus I really want it to be an absolute last resort. So I think I'd like to give this plugin a go. I'm not sure how to install it, though -- I have downloaded the source (did it through apt-get) and I see contact_priority.c in the pidgin/plugins directory. I ran configure in the root and then ran make in pidgin/plugins and I now have contact_priority.la and contact_priority.lo. What's next, or am I on the wrong track? -- Ticket URL: <http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/10657#comment:3> Pidgin <http://pidgin.im> Pidgin _______________________________________________ Tracker mailing list Tracker@... http://pidgin.im/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tracker |

Unless the Facebook plugin removes and re-adds the buddy from the buddy list it shouldn't really be able to reorder it within the contact so I wouldn't worry about that until it appears to be a problem. Right track, missing one step/piece of information. Run 'make contact_priority.so' to generate just the contact_priority.so file in the plugins directory. Built-by-default plugins built by 'make' run by itself are created in the .libs/ directory (contact_priority.so isn't built completely by default so isn't there). -- Ticket URL: <http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/10657#comment:4> Pidgin <http://pidgin.im> Pidgin _______________________________________________ Tracker mailing list Tracker@... http://pidgin.im/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tracker |

I copied that file to ~/.purple/plugins and it seems to be working just fine. This is a better solution for me than reordering the contacts as it means Facebook can be used as an absolute last resort -- not used even if it's "online" and the MSN/XMPP account is "idle", for instance. So go ahead and close this -- this plugin fits my needs.
