Protocol Plugin Development Problem - Status Types

[Ralf Kistner]

Hi,

I'm busy developing a plugin for the MXit protocol (www.mxit.co.za). At the moment I'm stuck with a small problem with status types.

The protocol uses the same status types as XMPP:
- Available
- Chatty
- Away
- Extended away
- Do Not Disturb
- Offline

In my test setup, I have two accounts: one MXit and one XMPP. When I have either one enabled, the status types work fine.

However, when I have both accounts enabled at the same time, I can only set my status to one of the following:

- Available
- Away
- Do not disturb (case changes)
- Invisible (where does this come from?)
- Offline

"Chatty" and "Extended Away" are missing. Why this change when I enable both accounts?

I'm using Pidgin 2.2.1 compiled on Ubuntu 7.10.

Regards,
Ralf Kistner
