purple-facebook with telepathy

hi !

i was wondering if there is a way to use purple-facebook with telepathy, i mean what is the problem since the purple-facebook library works just fine with pidgin and i have "telepathy-haze" package installed and i have "office 365/Lync (via libpurple)" enabled with telepathy !

so what am i missing ?

Re: purple-facebook with telepathy

There is one more step that needs to be done - the plugin needs a config widget and a profile file to be added to telepathy-kde-accounts-kcm. Maybe one day someone will write this stuff and add it to the package.

Re: purple-facebook with telepathy

Sorry for necroposting, but here is what I've done to connect to facebook with telepathy.
Installed:
purple-facebook-git (AUR)
telepathy-haze

I've created two files:
/usr/share/accounts/services/kde/ktp-haze-facebook-im.service

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<service id="ktp-haze-facebook-im">
  <type>IM</type>
  
  <name>Chat</name>
  <icon>im-facebook</icon>
  <provider>ktp-haze-facebook</provider>
  <translations>kaccounts-providers</translations>

  <template>
      <group name="telepathy">
          <setting name="manager">haze</setting>
          <setting name="protocol">facebook</setting>
      </group>
      <group name="auth">
          <setting name="method">password</setting>
          <setting name="mechanism">password</setting>
      </group>
  </template>
</service>

and
/usr/share/accounts/providers/kde/ktp-haze-facebook.provider

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<provider id="ktp-haze-facebook">
    <name>Facebook</name>
    <icon>im-facebook</icon>
    
    <description>Chat account in Facebook</description>
    <translations>kaccounts-providers</translations>
    <plugin>ktpaccountskcm_plugin_kaccounts</plugin>
</provider>

That is it. After that you can add facebook to in Online Accounts.

The only problem is that group chats do not work . If you have any ideas how to fix it and where to dig, please let me know.
