Re: Pidgin, Facebook chat plugin, and sending to a messenger "group"
Hi Noudess, You can start a group chat by right clicking on a buddy and choosing "Initiate Chat". The Facebook prpl is a little different to the others that you'll need to pick the other two people from a popup first before you can start chatting with them. After that, you can invite more people from the Conversation->Invite menu. Cheers, Eion On Wed, 1 Jan 2020, 02:17 Noudess Icescout, wrote: > I have typically used facebook messenger.

Pidgin, Facebook chat plugin, and sending to a messenger "group"
I have typically used facebook messenger. Once I add 3 of my friends to a conversation, that conversation lasts forever until I close it. I want to use pidgin instead. I have installed it, as well as the facebook plugin, and I can chat with facebook friends. But I can't find a way to send to 3 friends at once. I made a pidgin group, but that doesn't seem to help, it seems more like an organizational tool. I have noticed, that now, if I send a message in my facebook conversation (in facebook) a pidgin chat window pops up and I can use that forever thereafter until I close it. Is there any way to initiate this from within pidgin? Paul ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe? Use this link: https://lists.pidgin.im/listinfo/support

Re: Facebook chat past convos
I didn't see anything on the developer's chat page about a replacement for xmpp. I suspect someone will try to reverse engineer messenger's protocol, and I hope they succeed.

Re: Facebook Chat Away Message
Hi Cassandra. Pidgin only sends auto replies on IM protocols that have historically featured auto replies (and the auto-reply preference only pertains to those IM protocols). Specifically, only AIM and Zephyr. This is because there's no way to indicate that a message is an auto-reply on other IM protocols, and they tend to confuse people. I think the purple plugin pack might include a plugin that adds auto reply functionality for other protocols.

More info at https://bitbucket.org/rekkanoryo/purple-plugin-pack/wiki/Home I'd be cautious about doing this on Facebook anyway, as this will make Facebook think you are active, which adjusts how you appear via the web interface, but it also prevents notifications from being sent to other devices. So for example, if you were using Facebook IM on another PC or mobile device, that device would stop showing notifications every time your pidgin autoresponds.

Facebook Chat Settings
Personally i dont have facebook From ArchWiki [1] 1. Go to Accounts and select Manage Accounts. 2. On the Basic tab, enter the following info: Protocol: XMPP Username: Your FacebookID (without e-mail domain, e.g. @yahoo.com, etc) Domain: chat.facebook.com (make sure you haven't typed any extra space) Resource: Pidgin (leave this empty if you get usern...@chat.facebook.com/Pidgin Not Authorized error message) Password: Your Password Local alias: Your Name 3. Click the Advanced tab, then enter the following info: Connect port: 5222 Connect server: chat.facebook.com (make sure you haven't typed any extra space) (Uncheck the box labeled Require SSL/TLS) Notes please check archwiki [1] Newer versions of Pidgin do not have a Require SSL/TLS box. Instead, select Use encryption if available from the Connection Security dropdown in Advanced Changing your Facebook privacy settings to Turn off all apps (under Apps and Websites), will disable your ability to send messages via jabber. (see Why can't Pidgin seem to send Facebook messages) You may notice that all Facebook contacts are in a separate group every time you login with your xmpp account even though you moved them to other groups or created meta-contacts. If you want to be able to group contacts and create meta-contacts you can use the plugin available here: pidgin-xmpp-ignore-groups (after installing the plugin activate the option Ignore server-sent groups on the Advanced tab in your xmpp-account settings). It essentially ignores the group data sent by the server roaster and preserves your local changes.

Do you get an error message?

Yes, the forced group name is a new change (I saw it last week or so), just switched on recently (what was it, last week?). Facebook's online documentation for connecting Facebook Chat with XMPP clients (not Pidgin-specific ones) have screenshots that don't show the forced Facebook Friends group name, so even their help pages haven't updated. I don't know _why_ they did it either, but if it was a deliberate choice, I would guess something along the lines of what you suggest.

We have no idea what facebook has decided to do with their XMPP implementation.

The system that i was complaining about that was missing data, shows my buddy as being offline and he has been for 6 hours. Facebook and my mobile devices also agree that he is offline.

Facebook - Pidgin unreliable ever since recent facebook chat changes.
Not all chat transmissions come thru to pidgin from Facebook.When in chat, if I open up both the facebook web page and use pidgin to chat. I see some responses coming back from the other person on the facebook web chat that never show up on pidgin. I have done the same using mobile applications such as facebook for iphone, and friendly for ipad. These apps do get everything as does the facebook web page chat.

Hello. A month ago I sent an email to tech support about an issue I encounter when enabling Facebook Chat for pidgin. I got a response asking for me to clarify my info. When I did (about 2 weeks ago), I have yet to get a response. I am using the most updated version of pidgin and would like to enable a Facebook Chat XMPP account. No matter what settings I change/enter, the buddy list has a notification saying Not authorized. I have created an account username on Facebook.com. I have also waited several days for the username to fully integrate into the Facebook server, as recommended by some people in the webchat. I would like to stop using AIM+Facebook when possible, and fully integrate with the Pidgin interface. Here are the settings I have within pidgin *Basic* **Protocol - XMPP Username - onebree (what my FB username is) Domain - chat.facebook.com Resource - BLANK Password - PASSWORD Create new account on server - unchecked *Advanced* Connection security - use encryption if available Allow plaintext auth over unencrypted streams - checked Connect port - 5222 Connect server - chat.facebook.com File transfer points - proxy.eu.jabber.org BOSH URL - BLANK Show custom smileys - checked *Proxy* Proxy type - none The original person from tech support (as well as users on a pidgin web chat) linked me to several websites.

Facebook Chat
Help please, I seem to be able to connect to AIM, ICQ, MSN, MySpaceIM, and Yahoo, but I am unable to connect to Facebook Chat. Below are the steps I've taken in an attempt to set up my Facebook Chat: 1.. I logged out and back in again on Facebook so I know I have the log-in email address username and password correct. 2.. I have tried using my Facebook username on the account login options instead of the email address, but that does not work either. 3.. I have also deleted the Facebook account entry, installed pidgin-facebookchat-1.69 exe in the Pigin folder, installed the files, and re-did the Facebook account entry. 1.. Question: what is supposed to go in the account 'Resource' entry? The facebook account is the only one requesting a 'Resource' entry. 1.. I receive the error message: ... [my log-in email address]@chat.facebook.com Facebookchat Network disabled. Invalid XMPP ID Can you please advise me how to properly set up my Pigin Facebookchat account? Thank you ...

Re: facebook chat
Josh Black spake unto us the following wisdom: i am pretty new to ubuntu, i am trying to use facebook chat with pidgin by using xmpp protocol, i entered all the information correctly as instructed on facebook. it is still giving me the invalid xmpp id message/ This almost certainly means that you did not enter the information correctly. Make sure that you put only the portion before the @ in the username field, and only the portion after the @ in the domain field. Also, make sure that you are using the username provided on the facebook page, which may be a numeric ID. If you still cannot log in, delete your pidgin facebook account and recreate it. If you still cannot log in, try changing your password on facebook.com and then changing your Pidgin facebook password to match.

You'll have to follow its development at http://code.google.com/p/pidgin-facebookchat/ I'd make sure you're using the most recent version, and maybe try reporting a new issue.
