But look at libedataserverui/e-passwords.c, there the e-d-s displays password entry dialogs. That raises a question in my mind: Is that (e-d-s is the user interface) desired behaviour, or should we care to move this kind of functionality off the e-d-s into the clients, say, Evo?

Re: [Evolution-hackers] Error dialogs in evolution data server plugin
To add to what jules has said. If you want to popup error dialogs from the calendar backends, e_cal_backend_notify_error can be used. I could not find a similar API in addressbook though. For prompting the authentication from the backend the API, e_cal_backend_notify_auth_required can be used. - Chenthill. On Wed, 2007-06-20 at 14:10 -0700, Scott Herscher wrote: > Thanks Jules!

I've had the same problem in e-b when trying to get input (passwords) from the user. I ended up coding a separate helper application that displayed the dialog. No other way to do it I'm afraid...

Re: [Evolution-hackers] Error dialogs in evolution data server plugin
Scott, IMAP/Camel runs in the address space of Evolution and it would be different in this case, as EDS is a different process altogether and the clients speak Bonobo or DBUS to EDS. May be another API... donno? I really need to see the code to suggest something. Chenthill may have some thought/ideas here. -Srini.

Re: [Evolution-hackers] Error dialogs in evolution data server plugin
Thanks for the reply! I'm still a little confused though. How would I do something like prompt the user to see if they want to accept a self-signed certificate for example? I'm not sure I get how I could do that in the context of a eds plugin. Is it possible? Somewhere there's code that does that...because an IMAP account that is talking to a server that doesn't have a proper certificate will cause Evo to display a dialog box that allows the user to choose whether they want to accept that certificate. I would like to do the same thing, but I just cannot figure out how.

Re: [Evolution-hackers] Error dialogs in evolution data server plugin
I don't think you can do a error display from EDS. Just see how the e-cal errors/failures work. They return a code to the clients (Evolution) and Evolution displays a error using e-error. -Srini.
