Description:

Kopete Contacts is a KRunner plugins that allows you to open chat with your Kopete contact just by typing it's name!

Cool improvement for people like me who are lazy to open the Kopete window :-)

In future I'd like to add configuration dialog to enable filtering offline contacts etc...for now this is just first release, so no big expectations (but it works :D )

For those of you who are extremely lazy I've implemented new function. You can now change your Kopete status (all accounts) by typing "status status_name". Supported are only default statuses (online,offline,away,busy and invisible).

Requires KDE 4.3!

Steps to build:
tar -xvf krunner-kopete-contacts-X.Y.tar.gz
cd krunner-kopete-contacts
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ../
make
#As root:
make install

You may want to add -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to the cmake command

Is this working on KDE SC 4.6? Indeed I never managed to get this working or I don't know how to use it! How is it supposed to work?

Yop, it works. Just download the source, run

cmake ./ -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr
make
sudo make install

After that you need to restart KRunner, so run

kquitapp krunner
kstart krunner

And then the plugin should be ready and work, just open krunner and type in name of some of your contacts from Kopete :)

Great! But following your instruction will produce the same plugin shipped with KDE 4.6? Because using the pre available one I can't start any chat only switch to already open windows.

Yeah, actually I created this addon when the other one was not yet shipped with KDE, and I accidentally choosed the same name.
But I still think that the mine works better ;)

I guess i have to install a phonon package... which one is it?

Well this runner does not need Phonon at all but it is probably dependency of kdeworkspace or so.

In ArchLinux FindPhonon.cmake is owned by kdelibs package.

Honestly? No idea...try reinstalling Qt and kdelibs, maybe you are just missing that file.

Well I consider pushing the plugin into KDE 4.4, however I'm not sure how to do it :-)

just subscribe to the plasma-devel mailinglist and ask if they are interested.... They might be exhausted after the plasma meeting but I'm sure you'll get a response :D

Hi,
it seems you don't have Kopete headers installed. Look into repository if there is package named something like "kopete-dev" or "kdenetwork-dev"

Hi there!
I'm trying to get your application to universe in Ubuntu :)
Looks like your license file is wrong. LICENSE file states the app is GPLv3 and the *.cpp states it's LPGLv2. Can you also change the filename to COPYING? Thanks in advance!

I've wanted this since the ages of Katapult (there was an IM plugin in Fast Track, but it didn't work properly). A shame that I don't use IMs that much anymore. :P

Does it search for both name and e.g. e-mail?

Report

progdan

No, at this time it searches only for name, but thanks for a good idea - I'll try to put it to the next version!

Hi,
'RunnerSyntax' has first appeared in KDE 4.3 (at least according to documentation) so you need to have KDE 4.3 (eg. 4.2.85)

OK, so maybe you could change dependency from KDE 4.x to KDE 4.3 or smth?

There is just option 4.x, but I put it into description.
