I implemented all the text with tr functions in Qt which allows them to pull from a translation table, but I have not sat down to figure out how to implement it. It is definitely in the plan, but not for this week.

If I can get around to doing the GIMP work soon, I'll take care of it.

Can you add Facebook messaging feature please? Or do you plan on adding it in the near future? Thanks.

Re: [Announce] Effing - Facebook Status Updater
 

Just issued a minor update. There are some back-end changes to tighten up some code in the communication with the facebook api, and some rearranging of the qml into a grid pattern so that everything lines up.

On the backend, for those interested, I switched to using the "posts" request instead of the "statuses" request, so you will see more types of postings. I have not yet identified all of the post types (the "types" attribute is not documented, to nobody's surprise) so the ones that are unidentified will just show up as "post". Also, the number of likes for your post is displayed.

There are a few things that need to be added:

• Like count for comments
• actual link on link posts
• link to picture on picture posts
• other post types?

Please provide feedback here or via a message on facebook through the application page with other details like this that you see missing.

As for the other two requests here:

1. I will probably not tackle messaging as it is in flux right now on facebook. We already have facebook chat on the N900. I wouldn't mind seeing a plugin for modest that connects with facebook messaging, but that ain't in the cards for this app right now.

2. I will give you a better N900-like icon on facebook (instead of the blue "eff" logo" when I can get to it. The icons and splash screen have exhausted my meager artistic talents for today.

There may be a minor release this week with some fixes, but the next feature release will probably take a little more time to work out. But, I predict, it will be worth it...

absolutely awesome app thanks for the update!

1 issue im having now though is i now get nothing showing at all in the old status area? it says requesting status from facebook and then nothing appears?

Re: [Announce] Effing - Facebook Status Updater
 

Oops...I didn't finish the code that forces a logout. There are new permissions required for reading posts other than status items. It will be in the next release.

You can fix it now by clicking the configuration button (the gear) and then press the logout button, then close the configuration dialog. Then you just click the refresh button (the circular arrow) and it will prompt you for your login again. Then all will be well...

Hello Developer,
Around what time can we expect to get that logo of Nokia N900????

Thanks...

Re: [Announce] Effing - Facebook Status Updater
 

Around half-past when I get around to it! :D

Seriously, I am working on a feature release, but having a very frustrating time tracking down an issue submitting to the facebook api. Another release is imminent...as soon as this is resolved.

Then I will try to make you a nice pretty picture of the N900.

Hi, app works good, I only cant figure out what that button with three question marks is supposed to be doing?

Re: [Announce] Effing - Facebook Status Updater
 

That's the mystery button. It is another feature that, until 5 minutes ago, was still in development. I am doing some final testing and releasing it shortly...
