Re: [Annnounce] Sociality | Facebook client in Qt
 

Ok, cool! Adding friends would be awesome, maybe this helps (I am no developer ;-) ), but even without this, a search feature would be useful. One use case would be to check pages of businesses or artists that do not show up in groups or friends. Another use case for some people might be to check the profile (and pics ;-) ) of this hot colleague from the other department and show it off to friends :rolleyes:. Well, you know what FB was made for :p

No worries, just take your time and let us know when you decided in which direction you want to go and when and where you want some help specifically :cool:

BTW, I created a WIKI for Sociality.
I tried to cover all important aspects covered in this thread so far. It was a pain reading through 500+ posts, many of them just repeating requests and problems :mad:, but well I hope I didn´t miss to much relevant stuff...

I did not cover all issues already resolved by current release and I also did not include all issues that (seemed to me) where individual issues of single/few users for now, because I assume they are resolved by now / with latest release.

Everyone, please feel free to contribute, correct errors, complete and keep the wiki page up to date :cool:

Hoping that users will read the wiki and find answers before posting here, thus having a more clean thread :rolleyes:
MAG, would it be possible to add a link to the wiki to Post #1, so more users will find it?

Guess a Sticky Post including the wiki link would be nice here :D

Re: [Annnounce] Sociality | Facebook client in Qt
 

Cant believe that facebook removed the functionality of sending messages from the API...

Only facebook make changes/updates that actual remove functionality or make existing functionality so damn awkward to use..

Anyway that you could implement it so that your app had a create message button or reply button which will link you to that message in your inbox but using MicroB instead of the fb app?

If u dont understand what I mean, lemme know and ill try and explain it when im more awake, and more sober :P

Re: [Annnounce] Sociality | Facebook client in Qt
 

the news feed needs some work too, it always shows the top commented tsatus so that means it show all the pages updates, but not my friends's anyway we can have most recent feeds in the news feed ?

Re: [Annnounce] Sociality | Facebook client in Qt
 

I luv what u have done with the design mate, and if u want my feedback I 'd say the like and the comment should remain buttons so that it can have the application format instead of formalizing it more to "html" looking. That's just from my perspective of view :)

Re: [Annnounce] Sociality | Facebook client in Qt
 

Ok, tried to have a more button-like look for likes and comments by (from top down)
a) adding a slim dark blue border
b) adding a small shadow
c) adding a color gradient
I think for a button look and feel it is also important to have some kind of action, like changing to a darker shade on press.

Oh, and added Jessie's girl in order to get a more real life look, hope she doesn´t mind :D

Re: [Annnounce] Sociality | Facebook client in Qt
 

I like the mockups but I think the profile picture is a bit to large. And because of its size there's that white unused space and it's not practical.

Re: [Annnounce] Sociality | Facebook client in Qt
 

For unknown reason, I failed to post any comments now, but creating new status is fine, just reply comment always bounce a failed to post comment.

I tried logout and re-log in, restart the phone, still unable to reply comment

anyone know what's wrong? It used to works fine

add note: seems the program is picky on comment, I tried one commend to my friend status and it posted, but unable to post my own created status comment:confused:

more added note: I suspect the status I started is from MSN which linked and posted on FB, therefore sociality cannot reply any comment that not original posted in FB, anyone can confirm that?

Re: [Annnounce] Sociality | Facebook client in Qt
 

She doesn't mind.

Re: [Annnounce] Sociality | Facebook client in Qt
 

SWEET!! I wanted to mention about the "minimize" and the "back" button in the previous post and here u have figured it out already. Nice :D

and the word "Sociality" looks fine in the header, unless if it's possible at the implementation stage to make it change according to the user's name.

And yea u're right about the action buttons, it'll be fine. We'll provide some buttons with its shades and see which suits.

p/s: the Jessie girl does make the picture alive indeed :D

Re: [Annnounce] Sociality | Facebook client in Qt
 

True, there is white unused space. I didn´t mind cause I wanted the wall clean and tidy in the first place.
But here we go, another draft, just reordered the objects basically with profile pic slightly smaller, avoiding unused space :cool:

Thanks daperl for confirming that Jessie doesn't mind :D

Re: [Annnounce] Sociality | Facebook client in Qt
 

Ummmm yea I think The previous one looked well, clean and tidy. If the space is filled it's gonna look annoyingly packed.

Re: [Annnounce] Sociality | Facebook client in Qt
 

Nice mockups,
IMO Name under pic

Also possibility to open status update comments as folder trees in _same_ view would be nice.

Re: [Annnounce] Sociality | Facebook client in Qt
 

Thanks!

Don't think this is feasible as it will lead to problems with fitting long names under the pic...
Even with a break between first and last name it would require a quite small font size with long names or think of Longname A posted to Longname B's wall :rolleyes:

Would love this too, added this to the feature request list in the wiki :D

Re: [Annnounce] Sociality | Facebook client in Qt
 

While I believe all risks should be mentioned, I was wondering how you decided this might cause problems with the whole device :p
Anyway, Facebook videos now play inside the app, I'll edit the wishlist on the wiki and strike "todos" as they're added, will then move them to the changelog when a release is made :)

Thanks for starting the wiki page :D

Haha, this is just a default disclaimer for extras-devel I copied from somewhere, just to be on the safe side :rolleyes:
But feel free to change it to whatever seems more appropriate :D

Nice, and me (and hopefully others) will try helping keeping the wiki up to date ;)

You are more than welcome mate, thats the least I can do in favor for all your contributions :cool:

Re: [Annnounce] Sociality | Facebook client in Qt
 

K guys, here is another quick shot of a mockup.
Think it is obvious that I was inspired by the sweet UI of cutetube-QML created by the great Marxian :D, so all creativity credits go to him ;)
(Hope you don't mind Marxian)
As some people stated they would prefer a dark UI, I decided to stick with the dark theme of cutetube-QML, but I think a similar layout can also be created using a white and blue theme (which I personally would still prefer ;-) ).
This time I also tried to have a less FB-oriented, more experimental UI concept (again somewhat adopted from Marxian ;-) ), not sure if its really usable though (srcolling in the "small" boxes might be hard as well as finding a spot for tapping for scrolling to posts further down).

Bottom line, in the first place, I see this as an experiment to see what might be possible and usable or not and for inspiration for more ideas (from you guys :p).

Re: [Annnounce] Sociality | Facebook client in Qt
 

Bug? When changing connection with app open the connection dialog still comes up . . .

Re: [Annnounce] Sociality | Facebook client in Qt
 

Bug!
you can start multiple Socialty, when have start Socialty and minimize it. And you press on the icon I app menu the Socialty starts again instead of plop it minimized. Can you fix that? :D

Re: [Annnounce] Sociality | Facebook client in Qt
 

That's very cool Reflektorfalke. I like it very much. However I must say that a top priority should be performance and usability. If it can be achieved with that design the app would be really nice.

I still like the original app though... :rolleyes:

Re: [Annnounce] Sociality | Facebook client in Qt
 

this is definitely a keeper, good work

Re: [Annnounce] Sociality | Facebook client in Qt
 

Thanks!
I totally agree, performance and usability should come first and at the moment I have no idea how to make this last design really usable. As said it´s meant more as an experimental design for inspiration ;-)

Regarding the "bugs" mentioned by robin and carlito, I can not confirm them, hence I don`t add them to the wiki until someone else confirms..

Re: [Annnounce] Sociality | Facebook client in Qt
 

Next version will have photo upload support, thanks to merlin1991 for helping with HTTP header stuff :)

Re: [Annnounce] Sociality | Facebook client in Qt
 

What should I say ? :D Thank you very much :D:D:D:D:DD:D:D:D

Btw look att my app again :)

Re: [Annnounce] Sociality | Facebook client in Qt
 

MAG,
I have downloaded the project in to QtSDK, with the hope of learning something and possibly doing some interface tweaks that you may be able to merge at some stage.

The project loaded fine, and all the gui and underlying code is there, but what I don't understand is where do I get and put the dependencies? Sorry if this is a little off topic, but I would love to contribute where I can.

Re: [Annnounce] Sociality | Facebook client in Qt
 

sorry, can anyone give me some help please. i was sure i had extra-devel repo setup ok in app-man, but cannot locate this app. have checked app catalogue settings and all looks ok but this app not appearing

anyone got any suggestions on getting this repository appearing so i can install this app?

thank you for any help you can give

Re: [Annnounce] Sociality | Facebook client in Qt
 

why don't u do this through xterm
apt-get install socaility

Re: [Annnounce] Sociality | Facebook client in Qt
 

not being familiar with xterm app-manager is more friendly to me and want to resolve prob with apps in the extra-devel not being found

tried apt-get but not confident with error messages i then get

sorry not up to speed with xterm so nice ui of app-man is my option of choice if i can get it working

Re: [Annnounce] Sociality | Facebook client in Qt
 

How to activate Extras-devel

In the Application Manager:

1. Navigate to the application menu (tap the title bar)
2. Select ‘Application catalogs’
3. Select ‘New’
4. Enter a catalog name of ‘Maemo extras-devel’
5. Enter a web address of http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel
6. Enter a distribution of ‘fremantle’
7. Enter components of ‘free non-free’
8. Select ‘Save’

*Please* consider using a search function next time...

Re: [Annnounce] Sociality | Facebook client in Qt
 

Hi,

There was a typo in the app name given there. Try this on xterm.

apt-get install sociality



Hope this helps.

Regards,

RR

Re: [Annnounce] Sociality | Facebook client in Qt
 

sorry, maybe i wasnt clear. i have searched for several weeks for a solution. i have extras-devel enabled and have succesfully found and installed from it previously. my problem is that it no longer seems to be updating, this app and twitter plugin for conversations in particular have not appeared, despite deleting and setting up repos

Re: [Annnounce] Sociality | Facebook client in Qt
 

Heh, the ugly part of coding in QtSDK is getting dependencies there.
There are two ways:
1) Either get the deb and extract it manually into QtSDK/Maemo/4.6.2/sysroots/fremantle-arm-sysroot-20.2010.36-2-slim/
2) Use mad-admin xdpkg:
Sorry for the late reply, but with graduation and stuff I completely missed the thread.

And thanks, you know why ;)

Re: [Annnounce] Sociality | Facebook client in Qt
 

It would be awesome if fb chat was integrated in it too! :)

Re: [Annnounce] Sociality | Facebook client in Qt
 

it's already implemented in N900.

Re: [Annnounce] Sociality | Facebook client in Qt
 

@MohammadAG
Hi,
nice program :D I use it as the main facebook client, I was wondering if you could implement the "places" function, it isn't possible insert a new place if that is not listed, can you fix this?

EDIT: there is also a bug in places function, when i select friends that i want to tag, and I search with keyboard, I click done but the program select only the last friend that i tap, can you fix this? :D

Re: [Annnounce] Sociality | Facebook client in Qt
 

Both are known issues already mentioned in this thread as well as in the wiki.

Its not only implemented in N900 by default but its also already in Sociality, See:
or wiki.

*Please* consider using a search function or checking the wiki first next time...

Re: [Annnounce] Sociality | Facebook client in Qt
 

when can we expect the next version?

Re: [Annnounce] Sociality | Facebook client in Qt
 

Hello.

Someone spoke about Twitter integration too. Any chance to integrate it to Sociality? Like Tweetdeck or Ovi Social.

Best Regards,

Germano.

Re: [Annnounce] Sociality | Facebook client in Qt
 

There is a really good Twitter application which is really similar to TweetDeck (certainly in layout).

Ok thanks.. i hope the second "problem" will soon be solved :)
