[Evolution-hackers] Evolution attributes
Hello ! I am a new user to evolution and I am making a portable addressbook for evolution, Netscape-Addressbook and MS-outlook express. I got all the attributes of the Netscape and MS-outlook but I can't get the attributes of the Evolution Addressbook. If anybody knows then send me or send me link from where I can get. Thank you to every one. Bhavesh. ___ evolution-hackers maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution-hackers
Re: [Evolution-hackers] Bug #127546 Gaim Evolution presence integration.
Wow, cool. Ok there are some issues with the mail part of the patch, but they should be fixable fairly easily (well, 'fairly' is relative). For starters you've put the formatter in the wrong place, it should really go only into the display formatter (emformathtmldisplay) - you don't really care for this information on printouts for example. Secondly, you shouldn't be using g_object_set_data to set the EMIMPresence object onto the formatter - you need to just alllocate it directly in the EMFormatHTMLDisplay part. The other problems are bigger. And that is the way the presence info is being passed back and forth. You're effevtively using a global variable to set it up, and then expecting it to format right. This is just wrong, nothing else does this, so it shouldn't do it either. Do not add a new uri type for it. If you just want to insert an image, with no interactivity (which imho you don't want to do), you need to allocate a 'PURI' (pending uri), and then insert the image using the pending uri cid (content id) as the source. You'll get a callback when the uri is requested, and you can do whatever you want there. You really need to do this since the actual format_presence function *will* be called from another thread. So what you have will likely lead to crashes (unless somehow your code only calls mt-safe apis). You actually probably want to insert a custom widget anyway, in which case you have to use a PObject (pending object), and that works similarly. That way you can do something if the user clicks on it. It also lets you do incremental/asynchronous processing easier since you have more control over it. You really also need to make sure all of the backend processing, like looking up presence and so forth, is asynchronous. You can't block the whole mail display whilst you're looking up the presence information. The api's you're using look very synchronous. The EMIMPresence stuff shouldn't be looking inside the emfolderview and listening to message list events AT ALL. It shouldn't need to know anything about totally unrelated widgets. It should be totally self contained. The api needs a bit of a re-think. The formatter needs to drive it completely, including initiating a query and updating the display when the query returns, etc. The formatter has access to the message - currently you're re-loading the message again for example. It should also be a proper gobject, so the formatter can listen to it and re-draw if it needs to. Actually the way I would do it is: create a new widget type, EMPresenceIcon. In the formatter code in EMFormatHTMLDisplay), insert an object tag with the content-id of a newly-allocated HTMLPObject. In the object callback, instantiate the EMPresenceIcon and pass it the email address as a a constructor argument. This is all you do in the formatter. The EMPresenceIcon fires off a query at this point, and does nothing else. When the query comes back it updates itself. If it doesn't/and when the widget is destroyed, it just cleans everything up. Much simpler, fewer unrelated hooks which break abstraction layers (i.e. less spaghetti which is a maintenance nightmare), more efficient (no loading the message twice), and it gives you the option of making the icon a button you can do other cool things with. You also have c99 stuff all over the place, you must define all of your variables in the declaration block before any statements occur (i.e. no in-line variable declarations). Apart from a standard we just use for portability - it makes the code a lot easier to maintain going forward (some might argue about that, but believe me it makes a difference).

The patch implements all the required features as mentioned on the webpage http://www.gnome.org/bounties/IM.html#127546 . I am posting the patch here as a few issues are left unresolved and i would like to get some feedback on the patch. The following issues are unresolved and i would really like some help solving them. No presence information is added to the contact editor. I was not sure where exactly to add. I asked this particular quetion on the list but nobody replied. Also the screen names can be edited in the contact editor and hence the presence information may not always be in sync and i felt that it is really not needed as the information is automatically updated in the addressbook view as soon as a contact is modified/added/removed. I could not make the columns showing presence info in addressbook table default . Right now you have to right click on the table and add the column IM Presence manually. The floating dialog which appears when you click on presence icons is closed as soon as mouse leaves the dialog box. Ideally it should stay on as long as the mouse is clicked outside the dialog box. Any pointers on solving the above two

[Evolution-hackers] hi, ask a question about the GtkTreeView
hi, all
I meet a trouble when I add the accessibility to the GtkTreeView widget.
Would you like to spend a little time to give me some advice, please?
I write the code as follow, But it not availability.
--
address_widget = glade_xml_get_widget (e_contact_editor-gui,
text-address);
a11y = gtk_widget_get_accessible (address_widget);
if (a11y != NULL) {
atk_object_set_name (a11y, _(address_lists[0]));
}
--
* ***text-address*'s class** **is the GtkTreeView.
Thx a lot.
Best regards

[Evolution] imap...synchronization chaos ;)
hi, i am using evolution-1.5.93. when i create an imap account i have an option to: Automatically synchronize remote mail locally. and also when i right click an imap folder, i have an option to: Copy folder content locally for offline operation i am confused..what those option do EXACTLY? here's what i am trying to achieve: for now i use offlineimap. it's a program, that every 5 minutes synchronizes my remote imap mailbox to a local maildir directory. and i've set up evolution to read my mail from the local maildir directory? why? because this way my mail stays on the server (so i can just delete/loose my local copy without loosing any data), it's accessible from other places too, but it's also on my laptop, so i can read my already-downloaded mail anytime. is this possible to achieve with those offline-sync options in evolution? because when in the past i tested some mail clients, they only fetched the mails when you chose to go offline. but that's not good enough. i don't want to have to do it manually, and also don't want to wait sooo looong while he fetches all my mail (offlineimap only transfers the differences, so it's pretty fast). thanks, gabor p.s: is the subscription system working? i tried twice to subscribe to this mailing list, but it did not work. i got the mail to reply to, and i also replied, but that's all. ___ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution

Re: [Evolution] Connector Upgrade Conflict
I've noticed that sometimes you need to manually remove some of the conflicting packages when using red-carpet. It can be a little hard to determine which packages are the right ones to remove, but if you can, you just do a rpm -e package and often thats all that you need to do to completely fix it.
