hey dudes,

I want to be able to copy messages that people send me, but I can't seem to work out what I need to do. Could someone give me some pointers on what I need to change please?

cheers,

snookie

[reply to 18]in new version this should works

[21] Submitted by: prefiks on Thursday May 8th 2003

No it not works in firebird (ifirebird don't have composer component, which i use).

[22] Submitted by: Jed on Friday May 9th 2003

prefiks; what about implementing what you use from composer to use the MIDAS extensions?

(seeing as the roadmap states moving over to firebird)
Plus, many, many users now are on Firebird as supposed to Mozilla 1.x (obviously not all).

Cheers

Hi ya,

8 may 2003 preview is working excellently. I see you have made a few changes, its made JIM really user friendly now. good work dude!!

cheers,

snookie

[reply to 22] Midas is based on Composer API. I think that this same will be in Firebird. Then JIM should work on Firebird.

[reply to 23] We can talk about this using jabber - my jid is prefiks@jabber.atman.pl

I'm using jim-pre0.1(20030508) and I have a problem.

The accounts I've set up and transports I've registered on the jabber server I use (jabber.cz) all show but all the transports show as "unavailable" and nothing seems to connect.

I know they are available because I can connect to them using Psi, so have you any idea what is the problem?

I have set ssl as on: could this be the reason?

I'm trying to set up an account to jabber.org.uk but I keep getting the error:
Error 406: Not Acceptable.

Can you tell me what this means?

[29] Submitted by: prefiks on Wednesday May 21st 2003

This is message returned from server. You can't register new account on this server (read 1st news on http://jabber.org.uk/).

jim-pre0.1(20030508) - I can't connect through a proxy - Is there anything I can configure to use a http proxy ?

[33] Submitted by: Abyzmal on Monday July 7th 2003

Still waiting for Transport support (the best feature of Jabber IMO). Also would be cool if you could close the main JIM window but remain connected and able to receive messages.

prefiks, Firebird now has Midas support.

Can we now port this over? ;)
I can help out.

[35] Submitted by: prefiks on Thursday August 14th 2003

I made some fixes to code, so program now works on Firebird. One small problem, it doesn't add any button to interface. Can any one suggest me, where should i add it (to menu, or somewhere in main window)?

[36] Submitted by: Minh Nguyen on Friday August 15th 2003

Well, Msnmsgr puts a menuitem under the Tools menu. That's probably the best place to put it.

It looks like you never uploaded the XPI file. The most recent file available is from 8 May 2003.

[39] Submitted by: prefiks on Saturday August 16th 2003

Nope. It is in CVS (http://www.mozdev.org/source/browse/jim/downloads/). Error in mirroring procedure ?

[40] Submitted by: Minh Nguyen on Saturday August 16th 2003

Hmm, I didn't see that last night, but it all works now.

[41] Submitted by: stew.au on Wednesday August 20th 2003

How do i start jim?

I clicked on the .xpi link, then on the install button, it self-installed and said "The Jim has been successfully installed. Please restart your browser to continue." So I restart my browser and then what should I see or do? All menus and toolbars look the same as before.

Moz 1.4 (stable)
Win 95

[42] Submitted by: stew.au on Wednesday August 20th 2003

In answer to my own question (but for the benefit of others)...

You should see a small light globe at the bottom bar of the browser, at the left next to the other tiny icons/links for navigator and composer. Click on it to start jim.

[43] Submitted by: Minh Nguyen on Wednesday August 20th 2003

And in Firebird, for now, you'll have to go to the command line or Start | Run (depending on your OS), and type in:

"[path to MozillaFirebird.exe]" -chrome "chrome://jim/content/main.xul"

[44] Submitted by: stew.au on Wednesday August 20th 2003

At work I also had to enable my component bar. Here's an improved start procedure...

---
To start jim from Mozilla click on the light globe in the component bar which is the bottom left of the browser window. To enable the component bar use the View > Show/Hide menu.

(Probably already on your todo list prefiks, but I thought i'd ask anyway...)

When do you plan to implement conferencing (groupchat)?

[46] Submitted by: Minh Nguyen on Wednesday August 20th 2003

I'm working on applying the Luna Blue theme to Jim. (Modern just doesn't look so good on Firebird :) When I'm done, I'll provide a screenshot.

[47] Submitted by: Minh Nguyen on Wednesday August 20th 2003

...and some stylesheets and images. :)

[48] Submitted by: Vinod on Thursday August 21st 2003

Plain text support for passwords please... cannot use it until then !!!!!!!! :(
Great work and thank you...

[49] Submitted by: prefiks on Thursday August 21st 2003

Im working now on MUC (which supersedes Group Chat). Plain text password will be added soon.

[50] Submitted by: Minh Nguyen on Thursday August 21st 2003

I use both Jim and JabberIM nowadays, and JabberIM 1.10.0.6 has a feature where you can give each of your contacts not only a nickname, but a separate first and last name, which can be displayed under View | Display Full Names, and edited by right-clicking | Rename... The problem is, no other Jabber client is compatible with this feature, which is stored in this format:

Nickname~FirstName~LastName

This is how Jim currently displays my contacts. I don't think this is much of a bug; I don't even know if this is standard or proposed. How hard would it be to implement this? From what I gather, you would have some JavaScript take whatever's before the squiggly (~) and then display it in the roster.

[51] Submitted by: Minh Nguyen on Thursday August 21st 2003

I should've thought of it before: Jabber, Inc. sometimes refers to its IM client as Jabber Instant Messager, or JIM, for short. Will you have to eventually rename your program?

Also, plain text password support is now in, acc'ding to the Source Code page.

[52] Submitted by: Minh Nguyen on Thursday August 21st 2003

Whoops. Comment #50 should've said:

Nickname~FirstName:LastName

[53] Submitted by: prefiks on Thursday August 21st 2003

I didn't see Nickname~FirstName:LastName notation on any JEP, but adding something like this should be a moment.

[54] Submitted by: Jed on Thursday August 21st 2003

Prefix, I was the one who added the toolbar button to Msnmsgr and my extension QuickNote, let me know if you want this done and I will submit a bug with the required changes. If so, could you provide me with an icon (image) you want to use?

Have you considered e-mailing David Boswell (david ATT mozdev DOTT org) to submit an Independent Status Report? This might get a lot more people interested in helping out.

The creator of Jabberzilla (http://jabberzilla.mozdev.org/ ), the other Jabber for Mozilla project, has some interesting thoughts about his project and yours:

Sorry for commenting so much; I'm just very interested in seeing this project take off really well.

Once you get a little more functionality in, you might be interested in having Jim be listed at Jabber.org's website as a Jabber client. Here are some instructions:

I'm running Windows XP, and using Mozilla 1.4

[66] Submitted by: Minh Nguyen on Wednesday September 24th 2003

Go to where you installed Mozilla, then go to the chrome folder, and delete the Jim folder. That should take care of the actual extension. If you know where your Mozilla profile is stored (I don't have Windows XP), go there and delete the jim folder. That should take care of the profile data that Jim stores.

Couldn't actually get the latest version (jim-pre0.1(20030822)) to download but I managed to get jim-pre0.1(20030815) and was very impressed. Any chance of getting tabbed conversations to work (i.e. 1 window with multiple tabs, one for each conversation)?

There are a number of other things that are needed to make this a fully functional Jabber client (such as transport registration and browser) but a tab feature would make this a client to take seriously (at least IMHO)

[68] Submitted by: Minh Nguyen on Saturday September 27th 2003

Try installing the latest version again. The download often takes a long while to get started.

I don't think that browsing is a necessity for Jim, seeing as it *is* an extension to a browser. And, while I would use tabbed chatting, IMHO it's not *necessary* for a serious Jabber client, but the ability to minimize to the status bar probably is. I'm not sure if it's possible to do that w/ Jim, though, unless prefiks makes Jim a standalone program.

Prefiks, you need a link to the mailing list in the resources bar at the top of this page.
