	libpurple / find active conversations by Cedric Roche :: Rate this Message: Reply (Restricted by the Administrator) \| Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message Some parts of this message have been removed. Learn more about Nabble's security policy. Hi, I need to know the best way to find all active conversation in order to not open a new one when sending a message. I found the function purple_find_conversation_with_account, where the name and the account arguments seems to be the the name and account of a PurpleBuddy structure (please, correct me if I'm wrong). So my guess is that I could do that by exploring the entire buddy list but my question is, is there a better way to do that ?

Learn more about Nabble's security policy. I just want to send messages. If a PurpleConversation is already open between the two buddies, I want to use the existing one and not create a new one. I want to loop over the buddy list in order to use purple_find_conversation_with_account. I'm sorry I have trouble to understand libpurple.

So why can't you just use the buddy name in the find_conversation_with_account call directly? If you don't know the buddy name then how were you going to pick them from the buddy list to send to at all? But that's even more work than you technically need to do, as purple_conversation_new will re-use an existing IM conversation if one already exists. -Etan _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@... http://pidgin.im/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devel

I thought that to not create a new PurpleConversation when one already exists, I had to use purple_find_conversation_with_account and this function needs the account corresponding to the buddy and I didn't find a function that return the buddy only with the name. > > I'm just going to use purple_conversation_new every time I send a msg. > > Thx You have a buddy name but not the account it goes with? That's not enough information to do anything useful, how did that happen? Alternatively, how did you get a buddy name without getting the account it goes with? How were you intending to find the correct buddy with that, considering the same buddy can exist on multiple accounts and that multiple services have names that cannot be distinguished from one another (AIM and Yahoo! for example)? -Etan _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@... http://pidgin.im/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devel

I took the nullclient example and add some stuff. In fact I even didn't understand why there is a PurpleAccount in the PurpleBuddy structure. What I was thinking at first is that the PurpleAccount was only the account with which we want to connect with. Why do we need this account if we have the PurpleBuddy ? > > Sry I'm having a difficult time, and libpurple is lacking a real documentation. The PurpleBuddy documentation[1] indicates that the PurpleAccount in the PurpleBuddy struct is "the account this buddy belongs to". It exists so you can get from a PurpleBuddy to the right PurpleAccount. (Why do we not have a purple_find_conversation(PurpleConversationType, const PurpleBuddy) I'm not sure other than that one hasn't been added.) What, specifically, about the API documentation[2] do you find lacking or hard to understand? What, again specifically, would you have liked to see to help get you started? Are you willing to write up the sort of beginners documentation you would have liked to see? -Etan [1] http://developer.pidgin.im/doxygen/dev/html/struct__PurpleBuddy.html [2] http://developer.pidgin.im/doxygen/ http://developer.pidgin.im/doxygen/dev/html/main.html http://developer.pidgin.im/doxygen/dev/html/modules.html _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@... http://pidgin.im/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devel
