About this I have a question, where the Gmail account is stored?
For example for each loved accounts there are four properties stored:
iconURL, link, sentiment and accountType.
If an application uses an external web service like Gmail, it needs to
store at least: link and user.
This information is stored in any place at this moment?
I see that Big Board stores this information at GConf
below /apps/bigboard/accounts/, however I don't know if this is the
suitable place.
I think that could be that it gets this information from any resource at
online.gnome.org, it's only an idea I don't know which is the right way.
Hi!
You can find the logic for getting GMail accounts in
bigboard/bigboard/accounts.py In particular, you can see a request to
the data model for "googleEnabledEmails" and how we process the response.
Google accounts are provided by online.gnome.org (you can see that
get_provided_by_server() is True for KIND_GOOGLE account kind). In the
future, we'll have other accounts that might not necessarily be provided
by online.gnome.org. All accounts are stored locally in the GConf, under
/apps/bigboard/accounts/, just as you pointed out. In the case with
Google accounts, GConf will only have the accounts that were obtained
from online.gnome.org. It is possible to disable an account locally, and
that setting is stored locally in the GConf, and synced across different
instances of Online Desktop due to the GConf sync. The password is
stored locally in the GNOME Keyring.
Google enabled e-mails can include e-mails that are supported by Google
Apps For Your Domain (GAFYD). Currently, the Google Calendar widget and
the e-mail notifier are supposed to work for multiple accounts,
including GAFYD ones (though this hasn't been tested for a while), but
the Google Mail widget doesn't -- it only supports one Gmail account.
The user can indicate which e-mails are supported by Google in the
"Google Services" section of their online.gnome.org account page. GMail
e-mails are automatically marked as such. If you want to write an
application or a widget that uses Google accounts, you should decide if
it's going to support multiple accounts and if it's going to support
GAFYD accounts (this is not very hard). Of course just supporting one
GMail account is a start too :).
