#1175 closed defect (fixed)

Setting away with libpurple fails silently except for a few values

Description

When I set myself away Google Talk no longer shows me as away. (Viewing from another account.) This worked perfectly with the native module. This is behavior I have noticed since switching to libpurple.

I am not sure if this affects other protocols.

Summary: Setting /away is not picked up by Google Talk → Setting away with libpurple fails silently except for a few values

Ok so it turns out only a few predefined strings are accepted as jabber away states:

  • away
  • extended away (shown as "not available")
  • busy (shown as "do not disturb")
  • etc

A few more are mentioned in "help away", but only the ones listed above seem to have effect.

The bug here is that anything can be set to away, but it will fail silently if it's not a recognized away state - from the point of view of other clients, bitlbee remains with the old status.

Changing subject to reflect that.
