Connect a facebook contact with a contact stored in the phone
 

I have some contacts in facebook that I would like to chat with, but I don't want to import all my Facebook contacts to the N9 (I suppose that option 'all Facebook contacts' does that). I modified the respective contact to have the same email with that he has on fb, but it doesn't get connected. Do you have a suggestion?

Basically I don't know if I described it correctly so I'll try again. In the accounts app, it says chat&contacts and 'only friends in contacts' s selected. How does it recognize which friends I have in contacts?

In FAM there's an app called, feedservice-plugin-fb, after install you'll see at your contacts by manage and add fields a facebook option, perhaps if you're online and available it's possible to chat through facebook chat, haven't tried-it yet, so....

N9 IC sorry...

Yeah, should have mentioned it, the subforum a post is posted in, isn't visible enough

can confirm this, i used the same method to merge facebook contacts with phone contacts. should be easier to just add an option to every contact: 'add facebook profile' or something like that, and then browse to that profile, tap 'add', done.

Actually it does auto-merge, but it doesn't do it very well... On my N9 it auto-merged 17 contacts I think, one of them was wrong, and I manually merged all the others. Took a looooong time, but once you've done it, you don't have to do it again :P

So what is the point of the first option? I don't want to import all my fb contacts to the phone. I just want to link a specific contact to a contact already existing on my phone. Too much effort for just one contact, there must be another way

Not an answer....
But I vaguely recall this being discussed to-some-extent in this thread

Maybe abustany (Nokia dev for this area) can clear some things up?

Hm, I realize it found and merged some of my contacts (probably by name). I also managed to open the hidden facebook contact (opened it by id through d-bus) and tried to merge it with the one I wanted. Nothing happened.

did abustany give you a clear cut answer or does he need to look into it more 1st?

I fear nobody noticed my post in that thread...

Just bump him again, he doesn't always notice everyone's Qn/post. :)
As I said, it may have already been answered in that thread, I vaguely recall a similar discussion.

*EDIT*
Looks like he's responded, not sure if it answers everything properly for you though.
