twitter plugin still reports friend updates even when deactivated

[knoopx]

Notification popups still appear once you deactivate the twitter plugin (without restarting gnome-do)

[Chris Miller (chrisamiller)]

I'm confirming this bug.

Despite unchecking the preference box that says: 'Show friend status updates', Do continues to pop up notifications whenever my friends update their status. The preference seems to be ignored completely.

Microblogging (Twitter) v1.0
GNOME Do v0.8.0 Release (from PPA)
OS: Ubuntu 8.10

[Amr Hassan (amr-hassan)]

Confirmed

Ubuntu 8.10, Microblogging 1.0, Do 0.8

I disabled the microblogging plugin altogether and it's still showing friend update popups.

I don't know if I'm being helpful but it's not quite right to say that this bug is apparent "without restarting Gnome-Do:" The bug is still apparent (at least in my experience) after restarting gnome-do and after rebooting entirely.

Like Chris and Amr, I'm on Microblogging (Twitter) v1.0; Gnome Do v0.8.0 Release and Ubuntu 8.10.

[Fabian A. Scherschel (fabsh)]

Yup, same here. Although deactivating the plugin and restarting gnome-do at least stops the popups from appearing or me.

I did a (VERY) cursory glance at the sourcecode...aside from basic getter/setter methods, it kinda looks like someone forgot to implement the logic to actually check for the parameter...

Yes, this is exactly what happened. Microblogging underwent a rewrite, and
this got forgotten. I'll add it back before the next release.
