Re: [Evolution-hackers] Error dialogs in evolution data server plugin

[Scott Herscher <scott herscher zimbra com>]

Thanks for the reply!  I'm still a little confused though. How would I do something like prompt the user to see if they want to accept a self-signed certificate for example? I'm not sure I get how I could do that in the context of a eds plugin. Is it possible? Somewhere there's code that does that...because an IMAP account that is talking to a server that doesn't have a proper certificate will cause Evo to display a dialog box that allows the user to choose whether they want to accept that certificate. I would like to do the same thing, but I just cannot figure out how.

Thanks for the help,

Scott

I don't think you can do a error display from EDS. Just see how the
e-cal errors/failures work. They return a code to the clients
(Evolution) and Evolution displays a error using e-error.
