Converting one-to-one chat to muc.

Idea: drag'n'dropping a contact from roster to chat could trigger the conversion and automatically invite person from roster.

Dup of #1408.

(I don't think converting one-to-one chat to muc when invited is a good

idea)

[Liorithiel]

That's not a dup. #1408 says about inviting people to already created MUC,

i say about creating new muc, sending the chat history so that the others will know what is chat about and then inviting third person to chat.

[Liorithiel]

I had today several occasions for this to be useful, when I talk to

another person and i had a feeling that third person could know something useful, but I didn't want to explain whole situation from scratch, manually create a muc, then manually invite both people.

[jim++]

ah ok...

How do you decide how many lines to copy to gc ?

Where (room+server) do you create the muc ?

[bb]

just for clarification; he means person A is talking to person B in pm.

then person A drags person C from the roster in the PM between A and B. gajim creates a muc, invites B and C and sends the history of the PM between A and B to person C.

am I correct?

[Liorithiel]

bb: yes, you are

Jim++: JEP says that the client can optionally send history, so the length might be zero; also, «if the one-to-one history is especially large, the sending client may want to send the history over a few seconds rather than all at once (to avoid triggering rate limits)». How much? Dunno :-).

[bb]

I still don't know if I think this is excellent, but I do have an opinion

about a good default value: 15 . ejabberd does it that way, so I think it would suit well here too. ideally, of course, it would be an editable value.

pb of where (room+server) to create the muc remain

and DND a contact to a chat window can be 2 things: send him the jid of the contact to add it to his roster, or create muc. we already talked about the first thing and it's in a ticket.

what about an action: convert to muc, and then we invite other ppl by DND'ing them on the groupchat win (see #1408)

[Liorithiel]

If #1408 will be implemented, d'n'd to invite and convert chat to muc will

be more intuitive.

[Liorithiel]

New version of MUC JEP defines a protocol to request unique name for new

room, http://www.jabber.org/jeps/tmp/jep-0045-1.21.html#createroom- instant-unique

At least one obstacle less for this ticket.

[misc]

So far, only mu_conf in the latest version ( 0.7, from http://download.gna.org/mu-conference/ ) support this extension on muc side.

I think it can be tested on chat.jabberfr.org, in case someone want to work on this feature.

Remove ancient menuitem. Do not allow to invite transports and groupchats. Include contacts from all accounts.

It would be nice to have the ability to import text to the new muc window if the user wants it.

The invite window should show the status icons of the contacts and contain a note that a muc will be opened and people invited to it.
