Hello Pidgin people, Not sure if this is a support question or a development question, but here goes...
Is there a libpurple signal I can use to see when someone adds me to their buddy list? I can see there is a UI op for this, purple_account_request_authorization, but I was hoping to catch it from a Tcl plugin. If not, could a signal be added for that? I _might_ have a go at doing it myself. Incidentally, in case you're interested in why I'd want to do that - here's what I'm actually working on (feel free to skip this bit, though I'd be interested in any suggestions for the best way to acheive it): Problem: I tend to revise for my studies for long periods pretty infrequently (e.g. twice a week). I think I'd be more productive if I revised a few questions every 30 mins or so, even when I'm at work. Hopefully other people might be interested in using it too. Solution: Develop a messenger "bot" which, if I add it as a buddy, asks me questions via instant messenging. I should be able to control it by saying "stop / start / later" to it. A bit like one of those IRC trivia bots really, but not for a whole chatroom. Approach: I'm inclined to make the bot a Tcl plugin since I know Tcl well and can develop in it a lot faster than in C (and I've not used GLib at all). I suspect I can probably just run a slightly hacked version of the example/nullclient.c app to load libpurple and my plugin since I don't care about having any kind of GUI for the bot.
