Bug: Jabber: Aliases not saved to server.

beoba · Post by **beoba** » Thu Feb 10, 2005 8:49 pm

When I set an alias to a user, that alias is not saved to the server.
If I reopen Adium, it'll know the alias because it's cached locally, but if I open another Jabber client, the alias information set in Adium will not appear.

I am using 0.76.

Aliases aren't stored server-side.

This is from a session in Psi, where I rename "aimuser@aim.myjabber.net" to "NewName" (The names and id's were edited for the privacy of the guinea pig user):

Sent:

Code: Select all

<iq type="set" id="ab95a" >
<query xmlns="jabber:iq:roster">
<item name="NewName" jid="aimuser@aim.myjabber.net" >
<group>Buddies</group>
</item>
</query>
</iq>

Received:

Code: Select all

<iq type="set" >
<query xmlns="jabber:iq:roster">
<item subscription="both" name="NewName" jid="aimuser@aim.myjabber.net" >
<group>Buddies</group>
</item>
</query>
</iq>

<iq from="beoba@jabber.org/pb-osx-psi" type="result" id="ab95a" to="beoba@jabber.org/pb-osx-psi" />

(This transaction was grabbed with Psi's "XML Console" screen.)

After this transaction, I can close Psi, then open Adium, and the newly set alias will have been applied to my userlist in Adium.

Cool, I never knew that Aliases were stored server-side!

I've never seen it happen in AIM, so I made the wrong assumption…

Yeah, it's one of the main reasons I prefer using AIM through a transport rather than directly. Any idea how easily this could be added?

AIM aliases are in fact stored serverside.

Jabber ones should be, too. I'll check into it next week.

Really? It must be a mindset I developed from old versions of Gaim where they wouldn't be, or something.

Thanks!
