Patch Messaging New Cards For Each Conversation

Stv813: /* Concerns */

{{template:patch}}
Works with: 1.0.4, 1.1

The message app can be a pain when you have multiple conversations going on. You have to swipe back and then pick someone else quite often. It gets annoying. This modification makes it so a new card is created whenever you click into a conversation.

Edit /usr/palm/applications/com.palm.app.messaging/app/controllers/listview-assistant.js
We are going to replace the launchChatView function with the following...

<pre><nowiki>
launchChatView: function(chatThreadId) {
//Need to jump to that stage if it exists
var stageController = Mojo.Controller.appController.getStageController("messaging"+chatThreadId);
if (stageController) {
stageController.activate();
return;
}

var params = {name: 'messaging' + chatThreadId,
lightweight: Mojo.Controller.appInfo.lwStages
};

var callback = function(controller) {
controller.pushScene('chatview',chatThreadId,{
focusWindow: true
});
};

Mojo.Controller.getAppController().createStageWithCallback(params, callback); //doesnt create ifit exists sooo
},
</nowiki></pre>

Now in /usr/palm/applications/com.palm.app.messaging/app/controllers/chatview-assistant.js
Comment out lines 246 and 247 (WebOS 1.1: Lines '''289''' & '''290''').
This will make it so if you back gesture in a chat, then it doesn't bring you back to the conversation list or do anything else.

Either reboot or refresh/kill LunaSysMgr.

== Concerns==
There's some delay in creating the new cards. I'm not sure why though.

Unread message counter in listview doesn't always update when you view a conversation.

Make sure to comment out the correct lines on the last step (disable back gesture). In 1.3, they are lines 324 and 325. The block to look for is:

} else if(event.type == Mojo.Event.back) {
event.stop();
this.popAndRevealListView();
return;
}

which should be changed to:

} else if(event.type == Mojo.Event.back) {
//event.stop();
//this.popAndRevealListView();
return;
}

== Major Bugs==
None yet

Enjoy!
