Libpurple provides us with updates on users via
static void adiumPurpleConvUpdateUser(PurpleConversation *conv, const char
*user)
in adiumPurpleConvUpdateUser(), based on information provided by the server.
That calls to AiAccount's
- (void)updateUser:(NSString *)user
forChat:(AIChat *)chat
flags:(AIGroupChatFlags)flags
alias:(NSString *)alias
attributes:(NSDictionary *)attributes
Which then calls -[AIChat setAlias:forContact:].
If an update for a given user is never received, then the contact's own alias
(as known by Adium through other means, such as something the user set or
something that was pulled from the address book) is used.
Does that help?
Cheers,
Evan
