GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 787009
Also show network name in notification of user-to-user chat message
Last modified: 2021-07-05 14:06:38 UTC
via https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=786709#c4, apparently Polari doesn't handle this itself. If someone /msgs you, the resulting notification just shows their name, e.g. ChanServ message preview It would be nice also to see the network name, e.g. ChanServ on OFTC message preview The linked bug will reformat in-room notifications from Polari as "usernick in roomname", so I thought I'd go with "on" for this one, as it's (A) different and (B) seems more correct to be "on" than "in" a network.
A hint like which filename/module is responsible wouldn't go a miss :)
js/ui/components/telepathyClient.js. One thing to keep in mind is that those notifications are not polari/IRC specific, so any change must work for other providers as well (XMPP/GTalk/etc.).
Thanks for the pointer and caveat. I don't know much about those providers. I'm guessing they don't all have the concept of networks, and if we would want to do this, we would need to only append "on Network" if the provider supports it? Or should we instead say "User on GTalk"? But then, if doing that, we should probably also make clear that the notification is about IRC, making the full recipe something like "User on [network] on [provider]"... So I guess this may need a wider design discussion in what to do.
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
