No notification when someone try to add you in his list of contact

[Mozaic]

In XMPP you need to allow other to add you in their list of contact.

When i want to add my friend in my contact's list is impossible, he don't have the notification in Empathy 3.3.92.
If i go to his gmail (i use gmail too) i could add me. In pidgin 2.10.2 he could have the notification.

Expected:
Have the notification to add the contact who want's to add me.

Sorry for my english.

French:
Dans XMPP vous devez autoriser l'ajout de votre adresse dans les listes de contacts de vos correspondants.

Quand je souhaite ajouter un ami dans ma liste de contacts c'est impossible: il ne reçoit pas la notification dans Emapthy 3.3.92. Il doit passer par l'interface gmail. Avec Pidgin 2.10.2 il reçoit la notifiaction.

Souhait: avoir la notifiaction que quelqu'un souhaite m'ajouter à sa liste de contacts.

je doit passer par pidgin pour ajouté un contact

i want use Pidgin for add contact.

[atichu (atichu-)]

add contact emphaty -> emphaty (bad) don't message
add contact pidgin -> emphaty (good) i see message

[Mozaic (mozaic)]

@ atichu: want c'est souhaiter, vouloir. Là c'est plus une obligation, je mettrais plutôt le verbre must qui a un sens plus contraigniant.

You should mean, i must use Pidgin for add contact, isn't it ?

Is not the same bug !

[Bilal Shahid (s9iper1)]

that would be deal with the telepathy indicator and as well as its a wishlist. i am assigning to kenvandine he will comment here.

[Mozaic (mozaic)]

In bug 886056, he have notification.
Me, i haven't notification box or another message

[Ken VanDine (ken-vandine)]

I don't understand the difference, it sounds like you're not getting subscription requests just like in bug 886056.

Bug 886056 was for not getting a messaging indicator for subscription requests (when someone tries to add you to their contact list). I added that feature, so you should be able to click on the indicator in the messaging menu to confirm the subscription request.

[Mozaic (mozaic)]

For me the difference is that:
the guy know someone try to add him, he had a message or notification ("I get a notification bubble but can't do nothing about it")

Me, i have nothing. It's only because i chat on IRC with my future contact, i know he wants to add me.

[Ken VanDine (ken-vandine)]

So you get no notification bubble and nothing in the messaging menu? If so, then that isn't a telepathy-indicator or empathy bug, it would probably be telepathy-gabble or telepathy-mission-control-5.

[Mozaic (mozaic)]

"So you get no notification bubble and nothing in the messaging menu?"
Yes

"If so, then that isn't a telepathy-indicator or empathy bug, it would probably be telepathy-gabble or telepathy-mission-control-5."
Could be.

I don't know how it'work inside. For me, chat it's empathy's role and problem's chat is empath's problem. I am just an user who wants to help ;-)

[Ken VanDine (ken-vandine)]

We definitely appreciate the bug reports, lets make Ubuntu better :)

I can't reproduce this bug though, I see the notification bubble as well as the messaging menu entry for the request. telepathy-indicator handles adding the request to the messaging menu, and empathy handles displaying the notification. However, if empathy isn't actually running, it won't display the notification, but it'll still go in the messaging menu. Can you confirm that your empathy contact list is open when you get a subscription request, and you still don't get a notification bubble?

My point in the previous comment was that if you don't get the notification and it isn't ending up in the messaging menu, it is either something specific to what is in your contact list or a bug in a lower level library. We need to pinpoint that. Note: If you have added them in the past (even on another computer), and never removed them manually, it won't display a notification either, because you are actually already subscribed to them.

I make a test on a new install with Ubuntu 12.04 ß 2.
The problem is die: i have the notification bubble (and i could accept or not) :-)

Thanks you for your help.

[Ken VanDine (ken-vandine)]

No problem, thanks for the bug reports!
