Category: None Group: None >Status: Closed Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Stewart V. Wright (svwright) Assigned to: Mark Doliner (thekingant) Summary: ICQ channel 2 RTF messages: Smileys, fonts, status messages Initial Comment: Gaim v0.66, Linux (RedHat 8.0 & 9.0) When I chat to people using ICQ the smilies that I send do not appear as icons in their session, but as characters, i.e. :-) The smilies I send appear as icons for me, as do the smilies my correspondents use. I've tried the ICQ Smilies theme, as well as the default and neither seems to work. I've noticed this behaviour for the last couple of releases of Gaim. Any ideas? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Luke Schierer (lschiere) Date: 2007-04-17 15:42 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.

Why isn't this a higher priority? Away messages are a very useful if not essential feature. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: pholie (pholie) Date: 2006-05-22 14:06 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1321263 If you don't want to code all the RTF support for ICQ, at least make ICQ away statuses working. Turn on a network traffic sniffer and watch what is being sent when the official icq client sends away message and copy it. Don't bother with font size or font family. Just send out some defaults. It can't be that difficult. Away statuses are important! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: hangy (hangman5386) Date: 2006-04-27 08:04 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=481632 I cannot believe it is still not possible to see my away message in other icq clients ... that's a real downside of Gaim ... :( ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Mark Doliner (thekingant) Date: 2004-08-28 08:36 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=20979 Status messages are also sent using RTF messages, I believe. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Mark Doliner (thekingant) Date: 2003-10-01 09:30 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=20979 This is the fault of a lack of feature in Gaim. The official ICQ clients send and receive smilies and emoticons using RTF messages, which Gaim doesn't support. It probably will at some point in the future, but it's really a pain to do well. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Stewart V. Wright (svwright) Date: 2003-10-01 06:23 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=513520 The people I am corresponding with are using the (genuine) ICQ client, so I suspect that there is not a problem at that end. When I use that client everything works fine... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Luke Schierer (lschiere) Date: 2003-10-01 06:20 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=28833 gaim is not mangling that text, so the bug must still be in the other client. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Stewart V. Wright (svwright) Date: 2003-10-01 06:18 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=513520 I don't think so. Surely when I type :-) the ICQ client should be able to realise that it is a smilie. It is the same character string that is used by ICQ... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Luke Schierer (lschiere) Date: 2003-10-01 06:13 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=28833 oh, i misunderstood this bug. yeah, your theme simply implements smileys that don't exist anywhere outside of gaim. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Ka-Hing Cheung (bsponline) Date: 2003-10-01 02:34 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=159910 That's their client's problem, not a gaim bug. Smileys are client side features. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Stewart V. Wright (svwright) Date: 2003-08-15 09:07 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=513520 The smilies that are sent by the ICQ users do appear as graphics. When I use the ICQ theme even the emotiocons(?) [i.e. *GIGGLING*] even come up as graphics. However mine don't for the ICQ people. :-( I've tried sending smilies as :-) and :) and neither seem to work on the remote end. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Luke Schierer (lschiere) Date: 2003-08-15 07:11 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=28833 when they send smilies to you, do you see the graphic? or is it some odd text (for instance (s) might be a msn smiley and i'm wondering if icq has moved to something similar) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=350235&aid=787993&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.
