group chat service provided by groups.im does not work correctly.

the group chat created by groups.im does not work right every user except myself comes up as group name. e.g. (group name: group/My name: me) group: hi, me. group: like I was saying, WoW is the best online game ever. me: I can't tell who's who. group: what are you talking about. group: I'm name1. group: I'm name2. and so on. aMSN, another opensource platform for msn chat works fine for in when it comes to groups.im
Could you tell me more about groups.im? I have no idea what is it.
groups.im is a service that provides group chat. http://groups.im/ is the web address. I don't know how exactly groups.im works. The service account stays online. Users register their accounts to this service account. Whatever message I send to this groups.im account is relayed to everyone else who is also registered to this account as if the groups.im account is saying it. Using aMSN, the messages I receive from groups.im account appears as the ones who originally sent the message to the groups.im account. In empathy, the messages I receive appears as if groups.im is saying it. e.g., "A" sends message "hello" to groups.im groups.im(named "group") relays the message to me. in empathy, I read: groups says: hello in aMSN, I read: A says: hello
Hi, The problem is that it's not the nickname that's being used in aMSN, it's the 'Friendly name'.. MSN has the ability to specify a "friendly name" *per message*.. this allows people to have huge ascii-art nicknames that do not bloat the chat windows when chatting. That's also what groups.im uses, I can confirm. This "Friendly name" is sent as a header in the message, the header is called "P4-Context". papyon supports it and sets it as the message.display_name on the event on_conversation_message_received. Telepathy-butterfly does not support it though.
Hi, apparently Telepathy-butterfly should display this via channel specific handles in Telepathy. So it should be fixed there instead of in Empathy There is a bug opened again Telepathy-butterfly here https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25272
*** Bug 615533 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
This will actually need a change in Empathy once fd.o#27568 and fd.o#25272 are fixed, but I'll open a new bug about that at the time, unless you'd like me to re-use this one Guillaume?
Please open a new one.
