Profanity: Feature Request: Message Archive Management

[michaeljoelphillips]

Greetings,

I was wondering if there were any plans to support XEP-0313. I found an issue dated back in 2014 where an issue was tagged as a feature for a Milestone but later removed so I was wondering if Profanity would get support for that in the future. Thanks in advanced!

Definitely something I'd like to add, just need to find the time.

XEP-0313 is an improvement over XEP-0136 which was requested in #264 .

Could this be implemented as a plugin?

[boothj5]

Without having looked too deep into the XEP my guess is the plugins API probably doesn't yet have enough to be able to implement it.

I could be wrong though, some investigation into the XEP and an overview of the flow of stanzas and UI operations would help.

Anything new here? It's been two years almost..

[boothj5]

Not had a look at this feature yet, it's quite a large one and others have taken priority.

I would like to add it in the future though.

Together with Message Carbons, this would make for a perfect console client. Following :)

https://github.com/profanity-im/profanity/pull/1306 with basic MAM support has been merged.

Only contains basic support.
More work is planned and needed.
Don't enable it yet if you don't know what you are doing. Only for devs.

Some more TODOs after #1413

• RSM (so far we only get a couple of messages from the archive)
• think about how to properly use it
• from db vs from MAM
• add user setting to enable/disable MAM
• receive based on last ID or date?
• how to update the buffer in case we want to scroll upwards to load more messages?
