Re: Office Communicator plugin for Pidgin
 

I've now got this set up and working myself. Very useful thing to have! Any idea how much work it would take (or if indeed it's possible) to have full integration into the built in Presence/Availability & VOIP accounts for the N900? It would be very nice to have. But just having OCS working in Pidgin is fantastic. I can work as late as I want!

Oh, wait...

Re: Office Communicator plugin for Pidgin
 

Both are under consideration but will need some effort

• OCS VoIP support: Pidgin 2.6.x added V/V support, so it would be possible. My guess is when V/V support is added to the Windows port it will happen pretty fast :-)
• Maemo Conversation is based on the telepathy framework. There is currently work ongoing in the Sipe project to allow non-purple backends, but the schedule for a native telepathy version is open
• telepathy-haze adapts purple plugins to the telepathy plugin. I have tested succesfully the pidgin-sipe + telepathy-haze combination with Empathy on a Fedora box. But on Maemo it fails, because the Account setup doesn't allow entering "," (comma) and "\" (backslash) in the user name which are essential for most OCS credentials

Hope this clarifies things for you,

Connection error
 

I'm getting an error message "SSL read error" when trying to connect. Debug says the following.

I'm using Pidgin 2.6.6-1nix0 and OC plugin 1.10.0_1maemo1 on my N900. Any ideas how to start tracking down the reason behind this?

Re: Office Communicator plugin for Pidgin
 

After few weeks of use on N810, Pidgin now shows all buddies as Offline, but I know they're not all offline.
It seems once a buddy is offline, Pidgin no longer checks status.

Has anybody seen this before? Anyway to fix it?

Thanks,

Vince.

Re: Office Communicator plugin for Pidgin
 

Anyone, any idea? I noticed a plug-in update since the initial release, I wonder what this update was about and whether it contributed to this issue.

Re: Office Communicator plugin for Pidgin
 

Thanks for the steps buddy... works gr8

Re: Office Communicator plugin for Pidgin
 

Would it be possible to use the pidgin-sipe + telpathy-haze combination with the disclaimer that the user would have to edit the config file by hand to set up the account? There are no commas or backslashes in my own company setup anyway.

Re: Office Communicator plugin for Pidgin
 

Then I guess it should already work for you. Just install the haze account setup UI (or whatever the package is called).

FYI: it should be easier in the future

• telepathy-haze improvements
• pidgin-sipe improvements

Re: Office Communicator plugin for Pidgin
 

In addition to not trusting the offline/online status as mentioned above, I also see that some offline buddies show the "out-of-the-office" message of other buddies ...
I'd say there are still quite a few bugs to make this app usable, unless it is my company OC setup that has issues, but I'm not getting this problemes using OC from work.

Thanks,

Vince.

I have Pidgin 2.6.6 installed on my N800 and the "presence" of my buddies are accurate.
