Conversations: [Feature request] MUC vCard

[svenuthe]

It would be nice to have a function to set group chat avatars.
The function would rely on [xep-54]. (http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0054.html) and therefore would reuse most of the code used for user avatars.

If we could evaluate a concept and enlist most the pitfalls, I would code it myself and publish a PR.

A protocol example can be found at ejabberd

We can already display avatars. The only thing we need is to a method to set avatars. Which will probably require a redesign of the Conference Details screen to have a fitting place to set the avatar. While redesigning the conference details screen we should also account for a place to display the muc subject.
And the user list should go in it’s own screen as well for performance reasons.

So it's all a bit more complicate UI wise or else this would have happened already. If you want to take a go with this we should probably discuss some UI mockups first.

Hello @svenuthe ....is there any documentation on how to set up the development environment if i want to contribute ??

[licaon-kter]

@jimmy51997 get Android Studio...

[jimmy51997]

@licaon-kter I have that already....do i only need to clone the repo and start it using Android studio or are there any additional processes?

[licaon-kter]

Yes, make branches and stuff. 👍

[jimmy51997]

@licaon-kter Yeah that's known....by additional processes I mean installing anything else?? Is there any documentation for it??

[licaon-kter]

Nope:
Here on Github fork this repo
git clone your-repo
git checkout -B newbranchname
Android Studio (it will pull all the dependencies, look at the window for warnings)
git push origin
On your Github branch, make pull request

Kinda like that...with testing builds on your devices in between.

How can I set the muc avatar with gajims xml console like in [email protected]?

The avatar is "just" a vCard for the room.

The mentioned ejabberd explanation does not work.
(Need it for testing)

[licaon-kter]

You need Gajim fro development iirc, not the one released, try to use a snapshot.

Current master has been redesigned to allow users to set the avatar.
