Display bare JID in private group chat details
Running Conversations 2.10.2+fcr
It would be great if Conversations displayed the bare JID ([email protected]
) in private group chat details as it does for channels. I understand it might be that these JIDs are not always human-readable and are not exactly pretty, but I doubt many people benefit from having the domain JID displayed either, in that's the case. Maybe we can get more details on the rationale if there's more to it?
It's currently possible to access the bare JID in Conversations in bookmarks, but I find this slightly convoluted and a bit out of place. Joining a room doesn't (shouldn't?) necessarily mean adding it in bookmarks.
It sometimes happens that I need to invite somebody to a private group chat and that the usual invite flow doesn't work for reasons, or that my other devices don't join because no invite is sent to them and I don't use the bookmark autojoin feature.
I've also encountered overzealous XMPP services using features such as mod_strangers that have as side-effect to ignore all type of things and break many other features. I'd love to see this disappear, but anything is valid in the name of fighting ~terrori~spam.
