Ok, I think I'm really close, but I'm having some trouble calling the
callback function. Here's what I have:
gboolean re_request_buddy(gpointer data)
{
printf("Re-requesting authorization...\n");
PurpleBuddy *buddy = data;
if (buddy!=NULL)
{
PurplePluginProtocolInfo *prpl_info =
PURPLE_PLUGIN_PROTOCOL_INFO(purple_account_get_connection(purple_buddy_get_account(buddy))->prpl);
if(prpl_info && prpl_info->blist_node_menu)
{
GList *menu = prpl_info->blist_node_menu((PurpleBlistNode *)buddy);
int i = 0;
while (i < g_list_length(menu))
{
PurpleMenuAction *menu_action = g_list_nth_data(menu, i);
if (strcmp(menu_action->label, "Re-request Authorization")==0)
{
printf("Found re-request menu option...\n");
menu_action->callback((PurpleBlistNode *)buddy);
break;
}
i++;
}
}
else
{
printf("ERROR 2\n");
}
}
else
{
printf("ERROR 1\n");
}
}
The compiler comes back saying:
master.c: In function ‘re_request_buddy’:
master.c:1129: error: too many arguments to function
‘menu_action->callback’
How should I be calling the callback function?

I think you would need to call the blist_node_menu prpl callback function for the buddy, then find the action in the list with the name "Re-request Authorization" and call the callback function.

re: "the message is too large"
My issue is with pidgin when exchanging messages with the Yahoo IM service. I just did a quick test using the basic Yahoo interface. Somewhere around 800 characters, the standard product stops accepting new characters -- I can type but after about 800 characters, they are not echoed to the input control and are not sent to the recipient. [for the pedantic, the test description = in notepad, create a line of text that is about 100 characters long, select the line, ctrl-c, start the standard Yahoo application, paste the line one time into the input area, click send. Repeat paste and send while pasting 2 times, 3 times, and so forth. When I paste the line 8 times, a few characters are dropped off the end of the last line (my line is not exactly 800 characters long and contains a CRLF etc). When I paste the line 9 times, the last paste does not show in the input area at all.] Thanks for the note about ctrl-up retrieving the previous message, that will reduce my blood pressure. As others have done, I would encourage the developers to think about ways to deal with this (silly) Yahoo limitation. Of the ideas that I saw, my personal favorite so far is the one that goes, "automatically split the typing into acceptable-sized chunks and send several messages". I like it because it makes everyone happy and requires me to do -- nothing. It could be made even more cool by splitting on the last space, comma, semicolon, period, slash, or other white space or special character. Obviously this gets more complicated if the user is typing in another character set -- oh well. For those who avoided whacking me on the head about the Yahoo service limitation -- thanks. To whomever maintains the help: use the built in camera and/or microphone to capture pictures (still or movies and sound) of users losing their beautiful, important and completely obliterated composition. Post them on utube (possibly without the sound). Barring that functionality, I would give some consideration to adding a note to the help. Regards ...

Re: "the message is too large"
Hit "reply all" so that the list gets your reply. I agree, discarded message is a pain, since most people won't know about Ctrl + Up. We know about Yahoo's 800 char limit, has been set by the client/server/protocol. Nothing we can do about it, but yeah we should handle the discarding of message in a better way. I don't think it is a good idea to split message automatically, might mess up with the text formatting. Discarding is good, if we have an "obvious" way to obtain the message back. You might want to (re-)open a ticket, present your point. Also the topic might get attention, and you can obtain the views of the developers if you send it to the devel list (de...@pidgin.im).
