Sending a buddy request in ICQ fails when using libpurple
Hi, Typically, when using libpurple, calling purple_account_add_buddy() automatically sends a buddy request to the buddy you are trying to add. This works fine with AIM, Yahoo, and MSN, but fails in ICQ. Calling purple_account_add_buddy() does not send a buddy request, nor does it actually add the person to the buddy list on the server side. In pidgin, yes it does work...you can send a buddy request through the menu and the buddy will receive it successfully...but in libpurple, a call to purple_account_add_buddy() is clearly not producing the same result for ICQ. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? Or is this a bug in libpurple that needs fixing? Thanks, Michael ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?

Re: Mxit protocol pop-up ads

I've had a look around and can't find any way to do this (I'm not even sure if ads are allowed, since its an open source plugin, seems Open source just means that you can modify the source code to remove the advert generation.

Cannot delete buddy

Two Questions
I have two issues: First, I am porting from Windows to Linux, and for now, am porting GAIM 1.3.1 over to Windows on a Virtual Box (thus issue 2.) I need to know how to get GAIM 1.3.1 to recognize my user data in the .gaim folder (which I cannot recreate by the way.) I see no configuration files in the program files for gaim. Second, I am not comfortable with the newer version of Gaim, Pidgin. I prefer the interface and features of Gaim, and want to find the linux version to download. Your website is EXTREMELY difficult to navigate, unfortunately, and I cannot find older versions to download, or any mechanism by which to find such on the website. Could you please provide a link to older versions, or an FTP site, or something where I can acquire a copy of Gaim 1.3.1 for Linux (Ubuntu). Thank you. ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe? Use this link: http://pidgin.im/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support
Re: Two Questions
As long as you are using the location that the config files should be, and use the same folder, in this case .gaim it shouldn't have any issues picking them up. As for finding Gaim 1.3.1, chances are you won't be able to, though I won't say it's impossible. The Pidgin repositories on Pidgin's SF project only goes back to 1.5.1 and Gaim's SF project repository is empty. Not only is is bad security to use 1.3.1 as there are a lot of fixes for security since then, as well as some required fixes to allow certain protocols to continue working. -Michael Michael Wolf wrote: I have two issues: First, I am porting from Windows to Linux, and for now, am porting GAIM 1.3.1 over to Windows on a Virtual Box (thus issue 2.)

Re: Two Questions
By default the config is in (XP at least): C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\.gaim and in *nix its ~/.gaim/ As for Gaim 1.5, I'm not 100% sure.

Re: Two Questions
I'm using a fresh Windows 2000 install on a Virtual Machine (Sun). I can't find any application data. I also can't find it for my email client, so it may be somewhere odd. I'll switch over and look for it again. It would be great if anyone out there has the Linux version (Ubuntu/Debian) of Gaim 1.5. Thanks for your help. I used to be able to do all this stuff.

Re: Two Questions
To find where the appdata folder should be, open a command prompt and type %APPDATA% without the quotes and it'll show in the prompt what the path to appdata is :) I hope that helps.
