Support for ALL Pidgin Statuses

[chewit]

Since Gfire is meant to full integrate into Pidgin, I would like to see all statuses work!

This includes Busy and Invisible.

Even if Pidgin supports those statuses, it doesn't mean all protocols have those statuses. As far as i know, Xfire only supports: online, away and offline. Getting those statuses to work would mean Xfire supports them, howerver this isn't the case as they do not exist.

Setting bug as invalid.

I have talked to luxus about this already. Invisible will not work, however Busy might.

I think when the user selects busy from pidgin, that Gfire should display a status saying "Busy". This will work the same as Away on Gfire. When the user selects Away on Pidgin, gfire puts the status as AFK.

Well acutally away is a status that exists on the Xfire protocol, so it is not the same problem. You can't tell the Xfire protocol that you're busy, also it is impossible to set a personal message when you're online with Xfire.

So i really think it can't, and setting the personal message to "Busy" when selecting the busy status is something wrong in my opinion. It's more like a separate plugin that would do that, it's quite against the Pidgin working.

Can not be done.
