# awesome-pidgin-plugins
|
|
|
|
A list of Pidgin plugins to support modern networks and features
|
|
|
|
## Protocols and protocols extensions
|
|
|
|
### XMPP
|
|
|
|
#### [XEP-313](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0313.html) Message Archive Management.
|
|
|
|
The XMPP support in Pidgin is extremely dated. There is a patched Pidgin source tree maintained at https://github.com/CkNoSFeRaTU/pidgin - you'll need to compile this for XEP-313 support. There is no plugin version.
|
|
|
|
#### [XEP-0280](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0280.html) Message Carbons
|
|
|
|
Use https://github.com/gkdr/carbons
|
|
|
|
#### [XEP-0316](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0316.html) MUC Eventing Protocol
|
|
|
|
Use https://github.com/danielkraic/Pidgin-XEP-0136-plugin
|
|
|
|
#### [XEP-0363](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0363.html) HTTP File Upload
|
|
|
|
Use https://github.com/Junker/purple-xmpp-http-upload
|
|
|
|
#### [XEP-0384](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0384.html) OMEMO Encryption
|
|
|
|
OMEMO is a multi-device 2e2 encryption protocol.
|
|
Use https://github.com/gkdr/lurch
|
|
|
|
#### [XEP-0184](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0184.html) Message Delivery Receipts
|
|
|
|
Use https://github.com/noonien-d/pidgin-xmpp-receipts
|
|
|
|
### Slack
|
|
https://github.com/dylex/slack-libpurple works nicely. To obtain a token, follow https://github.com/yuya373/emacs-slack#how-to-get-token
|
|
|
|
### Signal
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/hoehermann/libpurple-signald is built on top of https://gitlab.com/signald/signald/ - signald is needed in the background. So far everything worked, including New type groups, apart from anything SMS/MMS based; only in-Signal features/messages work.
|
|
|
|
Note: start signald system-wide, but allow the plugin to show the QR code for linking, don't try to register the account in advance, by hand.
|
|
|
|
### WhatsApp
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/hoehermann/purple-gowhatsapp is a new plugin that, unlike other Pidgin WhatsApp plugins, connects to the web interface of WhatsApp, so the possibility if immediately getting block is reduced.
|
|
|
|
### Telegram
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/majn/telegram-purple
|
|
|
|
### Matrix
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/matrix-org/purple-matrix/
|
|
|
|
Basic features only.
|
|
|
|
### Skype (web)
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/EionRobb/Skype4pidgin
|
|
|
|
Via the web interface. Might break soon due to the coming redesign (again....) of skype.
|
|
|
|
### Discord
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/EionRobb/purple-discord
|
|
|
|
### Pushbullet
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/EionRobb/pidgin-pushbullet
|
|
|
|
### Mattermost
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/EionRobb/purple-mattermost
|
|
|
|
### Instagram
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/EionRobb/purple-instagram
|
|
|
|
Makes an actual login on login - notification noise might hapen -, and it is a bit messy on contact list terms, but seems to be working.
|
|
|
|
### Facebook
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/dequis/purple-facebook/
|
|
|
|
You'll need to compile it for normal Facebook, no special tricks.
|
|
|
|
##### Facebook for Work (aka Workplace)
|
|
|
|
1. Download, compile and install:
|
|
|
|
git clone https://github.com/dequis/purple-facebook.git
|
|
git checkout wip-work-chat
|
|
./autogen.sh # you'll probably need to install additional packages...
|
|
sudo make install
|
|
|
|
2. Restart pidgin
|
|
3. Accounts → Manage Accounts → Add
|
|
* Protocol: Facebook
|
|
* Username: your email address
|
|
* Password: wharrgarbl (it doesn't matter)
|
|
* Remember password: yes
|
|
* Advanced → Login as a Workplace account: yes
|
|
* Save, Ok
|
|
|
|
In case you get [SSL/TLS errors on connect](https://github.com/dequis/purple-facebook/issues/408#issuecomment-374275285):
|
|
|
|
- Try Tools → Plugins → NSS Preferences → Maximum Version → TLS 1.2
|
|
- restart Pidgin
|
|
|
|
If that doesn't work, and you're on Linux, you can try recompile Pidgin without GnuTLS. If you do so, I suggest using https://github.com/CkNoSFeRaTU/pidgin - this is a Pidgin patched with XEP-0313, should that be ever needed - it's useful.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-perl --disable-nm --with-dynamic-prpls=jabber,irc --enable-gnutls=no
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### ICQ (as 2019 ICQ)
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/EionRobb/icyque
|
|
|
|
Because ICQ started to abandon the old protocol.
