Add WhatsApp sender/recipient info to chat preview and metadata (for 2 parties chats)

[mgd1980]

In the IPED-Search preview windows, add the user data (ie name and phone number) related to that chat to the chat title. This information is necessary when we have cases with more than one Whatsapp account or iPhone backups.

phoneParsersToUse = internal

Is anybody working on this?

I think not. I would not add this info to chat title (that could be large), but instead change the report html to show sender name and phone for each message, like is done for group chats, and add the parties to ExtraProperties.PARTICIPANTS metadata.

Understood and seems simple this way. I did some coding and attached a picture of the results.

               //ReportGenerator.java (printMessage) (line 280 and below)
                String name = null, number = null;
                if (message.isFromMe()) {
                    out.println("<div class=\"outgoing to\">"); //$NON-NLS-1$
                    if(account!=null) {
                        name = account.getName();
                        number = message.getLocalResource();
                    } else {
                        name = null;
                        number = message.getLocalResource();
                    }
                } else {
                    out.println("<div class=\"incoming from\">"); //$NON-NLS-1$
                    number = message.getRemoteResource();
                    if (number != null) {
                        WAContact contact = contactsDirectory.getContact(number);
                        name = contact == null ? null : contact.getName();
                    }
                }
                if (name == null)
                    name = number;
                else
                    name += " (" + number + ")"; //$NON-NLS-1$ //$NON-NLS-2$
                out.println("<span style=\"font-family: 'Roboto-Medium'; color: #b4c74b;\">" //$NON-NLS-1$
                        + name + "</span><br/>"); //$NON-NLS-1$

                //WhatsAppParser->createReport (line 227)
                if (account != null) {
                    String local = formatContact(account, cache);
                    chatMetadata.add(ExtraProperties.PARTICIPANTS, local);
                }
                if(c.isGroupChat()) {
                    for(WAContact member:c.getGroupmembers()) {
                        chatMetadata.add(ExtraProperties.PARTICIPANTS, formatContact(member, cache));
                    }
                } else {
                    if(c.getRemote()!=null) {
                        chatMetadata.add(ExtraProperties.PARTICIPANTS, formatContact(c.getRemote(), cache));
                    }
                }

Great, thank you! Will take a look possibly on Monday.

Did a quick reading (no testing yet), this should work. A PR or patch would be better to see removed or added lines, thanks.
