For one-on-one chats without a custom icon, the other user's avatar will
be used as the chat's icon.
A default chat icon was also added
(haiku/data/artwork/icons/WebsiteComments).
Replaces libinterface's ToolButton, a custom button that can display
a pop-up menu on click (along with a custom image). It didn't scale well
with different themes and font-sizes compared to BButtons― which
ToolButton is supposed to look like to begin with.
A BButton-derived class is used instead, so these buttons look more
in-place among other buttons.
CreateAccountMenu() is used to populate a BMenu with items corresponding
to the map of accounts provided to it― but when an account is disabled
or enabled, it can't update automatically.
A dedicated class, fAccountsMenu, now replaces it― it'll automatically
repopulate the list whenever the active accounts update.
Currently, add-ons are disconnected when ChatProtocol::Shutdown() is
called, which the add-on can do by itself― but there is no standard way
for add-ons to notify the app about their Shutdown. Because of this,
they tend to not call Shutdown()― instead (as in the case of the Jabber
add-on), they display a BAlert (IM_ERROR) notifying the user of the
connection error, but the account is considered active by Cardie (and
its threads are still existant, including its ProtocolLooper).
Zombies are bad, so this is redesigned somewhat with this commit:
Protocols should no longer call ChatProtocol::Shutdown() themselves,
they must send an IM_MESSAGE of IM_PROTOCOL_DISABLE to the app.
This will delete its ProtocolLooper, which in turn will send a
notification to the user and delete the ChatProtocol, and so
calling ChatProtocol::Shutdown().
In the included protocols, an IM_ERROR is sent right before
IM_PROTOCOL_DISABLE is sent if due to a connection error. This is not
required, but it is courteous to inform your user about the "why." :)
Like the notification sent when accounts are ready (IM_PROTOCOL_READY),
one's been added for when accounds have disconnected/are disabled:
IM_PROTOCOL_DISABLED.
Also, error BAlerts (created with IM_ERROR messages) are now more
detailed, showing the associated accounts' name in the header.
Connection errors are now sent to Cardie through an IM_ERROR message
(which appear in a BAlert), and an IM_PROTOCOL_DISABLED IM_MESSAGE is
sent to Cardie when the account is disabled/connection fails.
When a new message is posted (or the user is messaged), the room's item
in the roomlist is now highlighted, like Vision.
Chat also auto-scrolls when new messages are posted.
If the user's in a one-on-one chat, notify on every message― otherwise,
only notify when the user's name/ID is mentioned by another user.
Notifications should be managed by roomflags, but that's for another
time.
Base-level replacement of the Vision-derived text RunView― a couple
important features supported by the replacee haven't been implemented yet,
including:
* Right-click menu
* URL-highlighting/selection
* Emote support
The StatusView (below the roomlist) now shows a default icon if no
accounts have associated avatars, and will use an account's cached avatar
if available.
The BTextBox used for sending messages has been moved from the main
window to individual ConversationViews, allowing seperate histories,
texts, etc., to exist in different conversations.
EditingFilter (a filter that hooked into MainWindow) was previously used
to field special key combos with this textbox, including "ENTER" for
sending, but this has been replaced with a new textview subclass
(SendTextView).
It doesn't make sense to lump the user themself with their contacts
list― their Contact object is now stored seperately.
BBitmap loading for RosterItems are fixed, as well.
Fixes#33
Sometimes a protocol's commands are dynamic, or change based on certain
events― and it's necessary in these cases that commands be reloaded.
The IM_PROTOCOL_RELOAD_COMMANDS message is now added to the API, which
will force Cardie to reload commands from the protocol.
The "room" template has been split into two seperate
templates― "join_room" and "create_room". Before, "room" was used in the
room creation window, but now that's delegated to "create_room".
"join_room" is used with the join window― so now, the add-on has total
control over the slots used to join/create rooms generally, if they
specify the templates. Even a "/join" command could be overriden by the
add-on.
Also, default templates are now in use. Rather than add-ons being
required to specify templates, there are sensible defaults included with
Cardie for each one.
The settings file-hierarchy has been changed a bit:
* Cardie/
* preferences
* Accounts/
* Cache/
* Accounts/
* Add-Ons/
`Cardie/Protocols` is now `Cardie/Accounts`, and the cache directory
has been split into two. `Cache/Accounts/` is for account-specific
cached data (e.g., cached roster icons, data, etc.), and
`Cache/Protocols` is for protocol-wide settings/data.
For purple, this will be used as the user's libpurple directory,
which has been moved from the default of `~/.purple` (yikes!)
Some plugin search-paths have been given to purple, too― lib
directories + "/purple2/", and Cardie/Cache/Add-Ons/purple/plugins/.
