Twitter users may need to re-authorize Choqok

Twitter is forced its new permission level from today, first of July. So, Choqok users who want to see and send direct messages should re-authorize Choqok to access their direct messages.

Here you can read more from twitter blog.

Twitter said that current authorization level (Read/Write) can send direct messages. So, If you disabled sent and received direct messages timelines in Choqok, and you don’t need to access them from Choqok, Its OK, you can continue with current authorization.

Have fun :)

Choqok tencent weibo plugin

You may don’t even know tencent weibo microblog service, I didn’t know it either :D

From wikipedia:

Tencent Weibo is a Chinese microblogging website launched by Tencent in April, 2010, and is still currently under beta testing. Users may broadcast a message including 140 Chinese characters at most through the web, SMS or smartphone.

And today, accidentally I discovered that “Oasis Li” developed a microblog plugin for Choqok to support this microblogging service.

Here you can find the source code of choqok-tencent plugin. and here he wrote about how to build and use it.

It is interesting for me to know this :)

Also, One month before, someone contacted me that he’s developing a plugin to support Blip.pl service, I hope he can finish it sooner :)

There will be more info like these stay tuned ;)

Choqok Blank Screen Problem

Hi folks,

One of Choqok problems that sometimes I saw users complain about it is seeing a blank dialog when they went to configuration dialog. Or:

When I click on “add account” (german: “Hinzufügen”) it shows the button clicked, but nothing happens.

Or we have upgraded Choqok and after upgrade it tells us that there’s no accounts at all and we need to setup our accounts again.

It’s really annoying, I know and I want to tell you that it’s not a problem at all! And you have to just be patient a bit!

All of these problems just happens right after when we have installed/upgraded Choqok!

Why?

All parts of Choqok have built through plugins. Microblog services (Twitter, StatusNet, OCS, …), Shortener services, configurations and plugins!

And the system behind Choqok plugin management and system is some KDE stuffs (I’m not going more deep). So when you install Choqok or other KDE apps like Kopete that uses plugins, these new plugins should be cached before applications request for them. and this is where the problem happens.

So, When you see blank screen in Choqok configure dialog, or you see that Choqok can’t find your previous accounts, don’t bother.

You have two solutions:

1. Be patient, Every things gonna be all right just one minute later. Quit Choqok, and start it again some minutes later.

2. You can force this caching system: Quit Choqok, Run `kbuildsycoca4 –noincremental` and then restart Choqok.

My n900 stories (Chapter 1)

I have bought a Nokia n900 cell phone last week. hurray

My main goal is porting MDic, Choqok and Blogilo to Maemo/MeeGo :D

This job is simple for MDic because its a Qt app, and its current code works on Maemo after removing Aspell related codes. But I don’t think its so easy for Choqok and Blogilo.

But, Bad news is that I can’t use Nokia ovi store and services :-/

Here is what I get when I want to download a free theme from it:

Oh, Yes, I know it’s because of the fucking government, We should get punished!

Here we have such problems, Some services blocked by government such as twitter, Facebook, WordPress, …, and others blocked by their service providers, such as Google code, Nokia ovi, Sourceforge, …

Blogilo’s new WYSIWYG editor

Yes, Blogilo has a new WYSIWYG editor. (Based on WebKit)

This was a long time wish of us, because Qt text editor lacks good html support, and does not support some html tags at all, and supports some with hacks.

And now this new editor is ready for KDEPIM 4.6 release, and first preview of it will be released with KDE 4.6 Beta1 release:

Of course it needs more tuning.

Its big problem instead of previous editor is lack of Spell checking support, that I didn’t find a good way to implement this, due most of current KDE highlighting/spelling supports are based on KTextEdit (As I found) Any idea?
