Category: yahoo Group: None >Status: Closed Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Bogdan (bogdelnicu) Assigned to: Tim Ringenbach (marv_sf) Summary: Yahoo multiple profiles Initial Comment: Hi, the thing that still keeps me from completely migrating to Gaim is the absence of support for Yahoo Profiles/Identities: the ability to use different id's for different users under the same Yahoo account. Would you consider adding this feature in a future release? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Luke Schierer (lschiere) Date: 2007-04-20 11:00 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. Thanks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: George Pauliuc (romania) Date: 2005-02-21 02:34 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=381288 I'd like to have that too. It's quite annoying to keep the accounts window oppen and relogin over and over again. This starts some trouble with gaim as it blocks the older conversation - say I talk to mr. X from the A identity, relogin and send something from the B identity than the first tab/window is blocked. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Tim Ringenbach (marv_sf) Date: 2005-01-21 14:39 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=790708 I've considered this, but can't come up with a good way to do it. The most reasonable way i've come up with is to recode a large portion of the core and probably ui and prpls, to allow multiple gc's per account, or something like that. Each Yahoo identity aka profile is associated with another profile, the master profile. the master profile isn't really special. Each profile has its own screenname, and status (online, offline, custom away, custom available, etc). All profiles share a single buddy list, a single YMSG connection to yahoo, etc. If you try to log on two profiles as seperate accounts in Gaim, the old one gets knocked off. To you, all your profiles are part of the same account, but to others, they seem to be different users. If anyone has a good way to impliment this within Gaim, such that you can send messages from different profiles to different users (by e.g. using the Send As menu), but still share a buddy list, etc. let me know. Tell me your design before you code it, so we can discuss it to make sure it works and doesn't suck. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=350235&aid=1106898&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.
