I owe you at least 1 beer - if you are ever in portland, or look me up ;)

Thanks again!

We are deploying it in an enterprise setting and we prefer to have the same settings everywhere concerning applications such as this. Growl also won't launch automatically if I just copy the preference pane to the local computers the users will have to go in and turn it on, it will not start automat...

Unfortunately it looks like all the permissions are set correctly...I was hoping that was it!

drwxr-xr-x 3 root admin 102 Jun 13 14:29 GrowlHelperApp.app

etc...

Any other ideas? Let me know if you want me to post any configs or anything...

Thanks,

Here is what I have done: 1. copied growl int...

Users list defined on server

Hello, I have set up a Wildfire server and for some reason the Users and groups are not automatically showing up in adium when I log into an account. It seems to have to do with a setting in adium, as I can get it to work sometimes. For example, I have one ~/Library/Application Support/Adium 2.0/* d...

I was just playing around about the alphabet thing...:D I doubt it would work either and even if it did it would be a complete waste of time to figure out.

thank you though!

Thanks for the help! I guess I was being stubborn because I knew that one of those files contained the value for the alias as I was editing and making copies of the .plists and .xmls and it was inserting my name in other's accounts. can you break down the alphabet for me in some strings I can paste ...

yea...I figured it wasn't *really* encrypted, but it is encrypted to my human eyes. - probably should have read "insert cryptic sh*t here" ;P I am going under the impression that the value is set through the gui and is stored there as the NSData form of that string?

thanks. -alex

I had a dream and the little baby jesus taught me how to change the local alias value - there is a key in the /application support/adium 2.0/users/default/accounts/1.plist called <key>FullNameAttr</key> followed by <data> insert encrypted sh*t here </data>. by deleting the key and the data the alias...

Evands, Thanks for the tip on subscriptions! <edit> could that be defined on the server side in the user.xml files? the subscription='both'? it seems that a roster file would be kind of useless if they had to somehow subscribe to each other after they are already in the contact list...</edit> I can ...

I spend lots of time talking to myself. i'm a little crazy...;) ok...So has anyone used a roster.xml with Mac OS X server? there are some references to the roster in the jabber.xml in /etc/jabber directory but it doesn't give me a clean place to point to a roster.xml file nor is it very apparent whe...

Hello, I am in the process of setting up and deploying AdiumX to about 15-20 people. I have run into 2 problems. 1. when the users log in they can't see the users that are in their contact list nor can other users see them. where/how is this status set? It seems that it is set on the server side of ...

there were more

Ok...so I found out that the config files I was really looking for resided on the server. they are the users .xml files where people's contact lists/groups are defined.

It seems like it will be pretty damn easy to roll this out to a bunch of users with pre-configged user lists/groups.

Hello,

Anyone have a complete list of files that adium uses to store user lists, server config info, etc?
