Buddy Status

[Giuseppe Santoro]

Hi,

yes, I'm sure the buddy is online. I tried this code:

for(buddies = purple_blist_get_buddies(); buddies; buddies = buddies->next)
{
        buddy = buddies->data;
        PurplePresence *presence = purple_buddy_get_presence(buddy);
        PurpleStatus *status = purple_presence_get_active_status(presence);

        printf("%s - ", purple_status_get_name(status));
        *printf("%s - ",
purple_primitive_get_id_from_type(purple_status_type_get_primitive(purple_status_get_type(status))));
*        printf("%s (%s)\n", purple_buddy_get_name(buddy),
purple_buddy_get_alias(buddy));
}

OUTPUT is:

Offline - offline - xxxxxx at xxxx.com (xxxxxx at xxxx.com)
Offline - offline - xxxxxx at xxxx.com (xxxxxx at xxxx.com)
......
Offline - offline - xxxxxx at xxxx.com (xxxxxx at xxxx.com)

I can see who are online by the name.
I use MSN protocol.

Other suggestions?

Thanks,
Giuseppe Santoro
