| Issue 95: | Fix Deskbar-Applet bug #508590 and 345658 | |
| 3 people starred this issue and may be notified of changes. | Back to list |
Task title: Add finished signal to module (#508590) and add support to search more fields in evolution address book (#345658) Benefits: 1) Currently, we're not able to tell when a module is finished searching. Modules should explicitly tell Deskbar when they are done searching. 2) Currently, we only search name, e-mail and nickname fields. Obviously, searching more fields will improve the value of the evolution module. Requirements: * Basic Python programming skills * Basic C programming skills * Latest Deskbar-Applet version from the subversion repository Task description: 1) The module interface should contain a new signal called "finished" that each module should emit when it's finished searching for results. Currently, we're not able to tell when a module is finished searching. Adding this feature requires: * Adding new signal and method '_emit_finished' to deskbar.interfaces.Module * Add a self._emit_finished() to each module in deskbar/handlers when it's finished searching (i.e. either before a return statement or at the end of the query method. 2) You have to edit deskbar/handlers/evolution/evolution.c and add more useful fields (see links for available fields). Please, attach the patch to the bugzilla entry.

I'm getting the most odd errors on the second patch. For some reason whenever I search for any other fields than the original three (name, email, and nickname) never returns any matches. Iv searched through all the code in evolution.c and cant find any reason why this would happen. Any ideas? |

It might be because we use e_book_query_and, try e_book_query_or (see http://www.gnome.org/projects/evolution/developer-doc/libebook/libebook-e-book-query.html) |

Nope still nothing. After some debugging it seems that whenever _EMAIL _FULL_NAME or _NICKNAME are not present in search_fields everything runs fine, but as soon as I add any of those three to it, everything except those originals stops working. I am about to rip my hair out because this is driving me nuts, and any help would be GREATLY appreciated. |

I'm by far no Evolution expert. You should ask in #evolution or on their mailinglist (http://www.gnome.org/projects/evolution/) they probably can help you. |

http://www.go-evolution.org/EDS_Architecture#Addressbook provides some basic information, however asking srag in #evolution would probably be the best idea :) |

How's progress? Do you have any unresolved problems? |

Unfortunately I'm still not able to figure out a solution. Whenever _EMAIL _FULL_NAME or _NICKNAME are present in the search_fields array nothing but those three will work. So I've decided to unclaim this task so that someone else can have a shot at it. |

(hmm, you cannot claim new tasks anymore as far as i know because the deadline is over, so i would advice you to not unclaim it and wait for some comments by sebp instead. just my feeling, though, if you definitely want to quit it's your choice. :-) |
