Summary: Need a better way to set account display names
Product: telepathy
Version: unspecified
Platform: Unlisted Binaries
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: contactlist
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Currently we use the account name (normally [email protected]) which
1) is a bit hacky (especially with workarounds for local xmpp)
2) it displays raw addresses to a user, which look rubbish (i.e exposes
@chat.facebook.com)
There is a FIXME in the code that says "prompt the user" for a display name.
This is a rubbish solution. The less prompts the better.
The account plugins should have a method to return a sensible display string
so the facebook plugin can return "MyUserName (Facebook)" or some such. Local
XMPP no longer needs a workaround in the main code.
This should be in AbstractAccountUi (or AbstractAccountUiPlugin.. not sure
which) and not be virtual but not pure virtual. The default implementation acn
return the account name so it works if the plugin is not updated.
