Change client name sent to Twitter to something other than mbpidgin #80

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
Currently, all messages sent via the plugin have the client set to
"mbpidgin".  Since we now support Adium, perhaps we could change that to
something a little more generic (and catchy!).  Maybe even make it
configurable to the user if that's possible.

Here are my ideas:

mbpurple
PurpleTweets

I kinda like the second one!!

The first idea I choose mbpidgin is to have mbfinch, mbadium in the future. I 
think
that future is now.

At least I will make sure this is configurable at compile time. Might need a 
bit of
#ifdef to choose correct name on each platform.

OK - final call is to use mbpidgin & mbadium.  I have requested and received 
from
Twitter a new source parameter called mbadium, and will be adding the ifdef's to
support it.  I will need some assistance to test that mbpidgin still works.

OK - I have updated twitter.h to make this change - you simply need to set a 
compile
flag called MBADIUM to change the client.  Can you guys make sure that Pidgin 
still
works?
