Windows phone has all this shiny social integration all around. And Sailfish only have a very poor one, but don't worry, Friends integration project is here.

The goal is to have Facebook integration a bit everywhere in Sailfish OS. I started with adding news feed in contacts, and am planning a lot of more goodies (notifications, event feed, and maybe account integration !)

How to enable Facebook integration:

1. Add a Facebook account and allow contacts to be synced
2. Install Friends integration package

Then, an attached panel will be available for your Facebook friends inside contacts. You can even open the user inside Friends, or open the news feeds.

Enjoy !

This package messes with system files. It can make part of your phone unfunctional. Try with care.

Get it

Friends integration cannot be pushed on store (because it uses a lot of harbour-unfriendly stuff). So get it on openrepos, or in my OBS.

• Beta 0.1.0: Openrepos
• Experimental 0.1.0: OBS

I'm using github to host code. Transifex link will come soon.

• Source code

Bugs, issues

If you don't uninstall friends-integration properly, your contacts cards might not show up. If so, you might need to reinstall contacts components.

First, uninstall clearly friends-integration. As root.
If it don't work, try
After that, do
If you find bugs, especially in beta, experimental builds, please reports them in the Forum, with a way to reproduce them. Otherwise, I won't be able to fix them.

Everybody using the integration: here is an urgent bugfix, that prevents integration to be uninstalled. To install it, please first uninstall integration properly by doing (terminal)

Afterwards, install friends-integration 0.1.1, and don't install 0.1.0.

Edit: i forgot devel-su. No when i type touch.... it says nothing. But still it won't regognize zypper

Cant right get this, so, If I have 010 installed, can I just update via warehouse to 011 and all should be good? or do I need to run the code in any case?

Run the code first...

thedead1440 | # 6 | 2014-03-18, 09:48 | Report

As regular user do 'pkcon install zypper' first.

Okey, for other impatient people being anxious to update this software. Here is some things that happened to me:

First i couldn't do those command that were told to do.

You have to write "devel-su" in order to have root-rights.

Then write
I think this tells enough what it does...

Then write:
Last one installs contact components again.

For me happened that i tried to write those things and i didn't have zypper installed so they didn't go trough. Then i uninstalled this from warehouse and installed newer version and then my contact cards didn't open. I almost panicked

But then i did found out that i had to first install zypper and then after doing
my contacts are visible again!




And finally for the record i take no responsibility of your phones...

Thanks, I'll get my coat.

So, how does this actually work? I didnt see anything in people(?!)-app after 010 and now after 011, I still dont see anything. Can you give some pointers?
