- reading about GObject and Python GTK
Adding social ids
What are social ids?
Social IDs identify a user on external platforms uniquely.
To create mini profiles in group view, we can add a social_ids dictionary to BaseBuddy model in addition to other properties like nick and color. social_ids is a mapping of `service key` : `uid`. E.g. {'/desktop/sugar/user/social/project_sharing_website': '19348r93jfioaf', '/desktop/sugar/user/social/another_service': 'adfjafp1asdf'}
social_ids can be stored in gconf. As multiple social_ids are added, we will have a gconf file that looks like this:
<gconf>
<entry name="color" mtime="1370907925" type="string">
<stringvalue>#FF8F00,#00A0FF</stringvalue>
</entry>
<entry name="nick" mtime="1370907925" type="string">
<stringvalue>Akshit Khurana</stringvalue>
</entry>
</gconf>
TODO
- check how to add meta-data to buddies information
- see how comments work and think which new methods we should need to get our "interactions" information
Code
socialsugar branch on my sugar fork on github.
