Nice and useful plasmoid. It works fine, except that the order the messages appear in seems to be random. I'd like to get the most recent one at the top. Is that possible?

This is only a simply webview showing the iPhone version of Facebook. So please report a bug to facebook devs :)

Can you tell me which application that is? Did you pull it from svn?

Hello, this is very good plasmoid. But in my opinion font and overall size is too big. It is option to reduce it?

Thanks

it works great on my kubuntu - till I reboot, then it's only a blank widget.

richtclick --> reload don't work either.

This is because your network connection propably takes some time after rebooting, you can fix this by adding a few lines to the script.

The lines are:


import os

ping = 'ping -c 2 google.com'
pause = 'sleep 2'

def check_network():
if os.system(ping) == 0:
pass
else:
os.system(pause)
check_network()

check_network()

you can add this after:

from PyKDE4.kdecore import KUrl

in contents -> code -> main.py

Maybe nferenc can patch the plasmoid to support this.

It works with these modifications

BUT

this way the entire KDE sits and wait for network !

This is very noticeable on a wifi based system, and literally kills any start-up time improvement distros made in the last years.

I suppose that os.system pause is way too wide. The best thing would be to put in a loop the facebook plasmoid, not the entire plasma/KDE.

Is there a better way ?

Hey, I love this plasmoid :o)

There is only one problem. My WLAN needs some moments to get connected to the internet and so the facebook-plasmoid stays empty. Even 'reload' doenst't work.
So I alway have to remove and re-add it, which is quite uncomfortable.
Has anybody an idea? :o)

hello

i might be blind, but i cant seem to find the spot to add a comment on a friend status.

i can find the spot in the 'mobile site' or 'full site' but not in the standard site.

So if it not possible, will it be?

Try this patch
http://pastebin.com/m6b2c3191. It could really do with some kind of configuration for the timeout but I was just a quick hack job

Hi nferenc,

I just did 3 simple Plasmoids based on your Facebook-Plasmoid.

They Actually do the same as yours, but they acces the mobile Versions of German SchuelerVZ, StudiVZ and MeinVZ.

If you have any problems with this please let me know.

Thanks for your work and your great Plasmoid

this works fine with kde 4.3.61 (4.4 svn)/Qt 4.5.2. there are a few minor rendering issues but i assume that is due to webkit or whatever rendering engine this script uses.

could you please add the ability to tab from the email/phone field to the password field?

I've installed the Plasmoid correctly, but I'm simply unable to log in. I'm using Arch Linux.

Just removed it with the plasmapkg -r command and tried installing it from the GUI and the installation failed.
