ok, so, sorry if this is totally obvious and has been asked about before....but would it be possible to implement a way of knowing who has added you to a conversation?

Or is there already some sort of patch that does that?

Reason I wonder is because I'm in a lot of BIG conversations, and sometimes people we don't want in get added, and we'd like to know who does it.

Thanks guys

The suggestion is good and in fact it has been said before, however I think that there isn't any way to know who invited you to a multi-people convo. I think that due to the way the protocol works that's impossible.

apparently if u use stuffplug ng and the open convo notifier it tells u hu added u, but this is not confirmed to my knowledge....it may just show hueva is on the top of the list of contacts in the convo....

well i was goin to say that was the one that was in the top..but guess not huh..

It might be the one at the top: I don't know how the official client does these things.

Choli, I am afraid to say you are WRONG! Apogogies for the caps btw.
I've been reading up on the protocol while sorting out the feature list of Project RP, and when you get an invite to a conversation, the inviter's e-maill address is supplied in the RNG command sent to the client.

---

it's someone who invited you, once you connected to the IP it sends you the list of people.

I'd Love that feature but I don't have any clue how it would be done.

I think it Is not possible becuase if you've been in big convos before you'd know that when someone adds you your not in the convo until someone says something, so that could be anyone in the convo.

I don't know if that means The person who added you is instracble but that seems pretty convincing to me that you could not do this, then again People used to say you couldn't split the atom.

P.S. If Any of you already wrote this thaught down I'm sorry, I must have missed your Reply.

The problem with what I need is that it has to be a way to see who has added someone else, rather than who has added yourself.

If that makes sense.

The most obvious visual representation of this for me would be to have -

"User X has added User Y to the Conversation" to replace the "User Y has joined the Conversation" or whatever it is at the minute. Which would solve all the problems completely.

If only the invited person knows who invited them, isn't there a way their MSN can communicate with the conversation to display that?

If not, how does the invited person know who invited them? What ways are there of knowing?

NO???

But then the person that was invited would have to have the plugin

On the principals we are using, if you want to see who invited others they would also have to have the plugin.

I don't think so. All the plugin would have to do would be collect that information from the target (invited) client and display it to the target (invited) client...If the information is already in the RNG command from the inviter to the invited the inviter wouldn't need the plugin...

---

oh nice a plugin to share who invited you...

I meant... for a person to see who invited another person, the person being invited would have to have a plguin and send a message to the conversation.

The original topic was knowing who invited you. This would be quite useful to know for some people.
I'm not so sure about the whole telling-everyone-else idea, although that too could be implemented without too much difficulty: the inviter, via the plugin, sends a special command to all the other participants. Those with the plugin will then see a message similar to the existing 'User X has been added to the conversation'.

It's an idea anyway.

i think a connection must be made with the person who invites u a split second b4 u really join the mass convo. maybe that could be used?

No such connection needs to be made. As I have said on the first page, when you get the invite, the server sends a RNG command with the e-mail address of the person who invited you included. This is all you need to know, I can guarantee, because then you can use the Messenger API to get the right contact's display name for the alert, or somehow use Plus to get the custom name.

So is there a Plugin to let yourself know who invited you to the conversation?

no, there isn't any. People are just saying how it would be.

i once made one like that... it was multiconvoblocker, which asked you if you want to join a convo with more than 2 users, and told you who invited you... too bad i lost it

cant you find it back that millenium coz i think its quite interesting to know who invites you

Ok I know it's been a long time since this thread was active, btw.

Wouldn't Stuff PLug NG do the job, Have it set to "Messege When User Opens A conversation with you", then whe the big convo opens, you'll know who added you in the first place

From the tests i've just done. It looks like michael is right. It treats it like the person has just opened a normal convosation with you. Exept they've invited you into a multi-convo.

millenium can you recover or rewrite it?
it would be very useful if you are away from pc and someone tries to invite you

I found this:
http://www.nsrtech.net/~millenium/software/multiconvoblocker.exe
m_e is your plugin?
