problems with third party clients

edited February 2012 in status.net service
Ok I've installed various microblogging clients to help with my microblogging to identica, twitter, and status.net. Now the problem comes when I try and configure status.net it just does not seem to happen.
I'll give you a run down of what happens with various programmes just to give you an idea.
All of the below problems relate to status.net twiiter and identi.ca are working fine.

pidgin: won't enable status.net and pressing the re-enable button does nothing.
choqok: uses my statusus.net id and password to grab a group that I belong to in identica (not the same group in status.net that it should be getting).
gwibber: won't autorise status.net

Can you tell me why this is happening and how to fix it. Is there a way to do it through file entery?

Gwibber is working fine on my netbook running joicloud but, on my main computer running a fresh install of Ubuntu nada just problems with status.net.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance
Dai

  • Are you still having problems? Which SN instances work with your clients and which ones don't? I use Choqok pretty regularly (Kubuntu/Sabayon/Mepis/Gentoo) and have not had many problems (Mepis version was older, so it was a little flaky until recently).

    got pidgin and qwibber working but don't like pidgin and prefer choqok interface to qwibber in ubuntu.

    This is the server setting in choqok:
    http://privacy.status.net but it pulls in identica group not status group.
    my status group address is http://privacy.status.net but is that what I put for the server address?

    What would I put in for the status.net server to pull the status group?
  • Group addresses look like this: http://servername.com/group/groupname

    Using the above address as an example, http://privacy.status.net is the server, http://privacy.status.net/group/girmaa is a group on that server. You'll notice a !privacy group displayed as a popular group. That group appears to be hosted on identi.ca (http://identi.ca/group/131/id or http://identi.ca/group/privacy).
  • Getting confused with all the interfaces because (not that I'm thick) there are messages that appear in choqok, gwibber, pidgin, that don't appear in my status group. Now choqok is working with my status group should it be pulling these messages if so then why are they not appearing in the status.net web page of the group?

    Going by the addresses you exampled http://identi.ca/group/monetaryreform pulls in nothing at all but, http://identi.ca/group/privacy does work ok. not sure whether the monetary group does not work because it and my identica account uses the same user name and password.
  • It looks like your user (identi.ca/dai) posted to identi.ca/group/monetaryreform about six hours ago using Choqok. Your user (privacy.status.net/dai) posted to identi.ca/group/privacy about 8 hours ago, also using Choqok.

    It looks like it is working now.
  • Ye but still don't know why I'm getting pulling in stuff for (privacy.status.net) in choqok but these don't show in (privacy.status.net) on the net.
