Jabber protocol supports a special way to announce messages to people on the server. Sending a message to server.com/announce/online does the trick. Unfortunately, the parsing code for gaim precludes the ability to add this special "buddy" as a buddy. It strips off the "/announce/online" part somewhere. You can add the buddy and manually modify the buddy list XML to be "server.com/announce/online" instead of "server.com" (what it is reduced to upon addition of the buddy) to support sending quick messages to all logged in users but it's something of a hack. Ideally I would like to find a way to modify the parsing for buddy names to allow the addition of the "server.com/announce/online" buddy to the buddy list and also for it to "appear" online always (instead of requiring verification). This would allow administrators to more easily send messages to everyone currently logged into the server. This is not of much importance on traditional jabber servers but ideal for an office environment where people want to send quick messages to everyone logged in (and everyone who has an account has been given administrative access). Furthermore, the parsing code also takes incoming messages from "announce/online" to be from "server.com". This presents a problem when people respond to "server.com" who have administrator privs as they get a slew of errors. It would also be nice for messages from "server.com/announce/online" to show up that way (although I'm not sure if it's possible to deduce whether they actually were sent to /announce/online in which case it might be more prudent for them to appear from "server.com" anyways. I know these are somewhat esoteric bugs but they could be useful to fix in limited circumstances! (especially the parsing one) :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Luke Schierer (lschiere) Date: 2007-04-17 15:40 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=28833 Originator: NO As we are closing this tracker, please submit any feature request that is still valid to http://developer.pidgin.im.

But first, we need a way to determine if we have permission to do such. I don't want to present the option to every user of jabber.org, and let them think they can send a message to every online user. The flood of questions from that would probably send me and/or Luke to the loony bin. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=350235&aid=1194202&group_id=235 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
