    There night be room for a simpler ad-hoc protocol perhaps

  258. pasdesushi has left

  259. MattJ

    It wouldn't be too hard to implement on the server with the same underlying commands

  260. MattJ

    But I think it's mainly forms that are the issue

  261. harry837374884 has joined

  262. MattJ

    Building good UIs is hard, and just chaining together a bunch of controls of different types doesn't suffice for anything but the most basic prompts

  263. MattJ

    I spent a whole day implementing a user-friendly time zone selector recently, and there's just no way it could be reasonably done with data forms, and yet I don't expect every client to implement a timezone selector control just for the 1 or 2 services that might use it

  264. chipmnk has left

  265. Sam has left

  266. pasdesushi has joined

  267. MattJ

    The logical step up would be allowing a HTML/CSS form, but the problems with that are hopefully obvious

  268. chipmnk has joined

  269. mathieui

    Should I summarize with "we can never have nice things"

  270. MattJ

    HTML 5 has a lot of form-related improvements that XEP-0004 doesn't, and if we don't adopt HTML itself and still want to pursue dataform UIs, we'd probably want to at least adopt some things that HTML has gained

  271. Sam has joined

  272. MattJ

    But then client complexity increases, and will ultimately warrant a HTML renderer (i.e. web view) and then in 10 years people will be complaining that we didn't just allow HTML forms

  273. MattJ

    And all of this falls into the products vs protocols dichotomy, since it's only needed when the clients are supposed to interoperate with arbitrary unknown services

  274. MattJ

    A client could instead support a nice native UI for biboumi configuration

    MattJ: what was needed for your form? Would something like XEP-0141 helps? Regarding the particular time-zone selection, this seems generic enough to me to worth a dedicated field-type.

  304. goffi

    But yeah HTML/CSS forms would be interesting, I've had similar thoughs when I've been working on the ad-hoc based remoted control.

  305. goffi

    despite obvious security implications, there would be issues also for TUI/CLI clients, or any UI libraries not supporting direct HTML rendering/webview (like Kivy). But still, it would be nice to have.

  314. MattJ

    goffi: to be fair most of the complexity ended up on the server side for that (gathering, formatting and sorting the available options). Things that wouldn't be possible in XMPP currently would be automatically detecting the user's current time zone (available from the browser) and preselecting it for them.

  323. intosi has joined

    I don't know what you mean, what has xmpp to do with UI

    Data forms have everything to do with UI

  330. MattJ

    It's not a web dev term, have you used Gajim on a Linux mobile?

    What information is missing

  339. clouded has joined

  340. MattJ

    If we agree that a good user interface is one that is structured logically for the data it is presenting/requesting, and that a simple flat list of controls often does not suffice, then layout is an important part of the form designer's job

  341. debacle has left

  342. marc0s has left

  343. marc0s has joined

  344. MattJ

    And given that people access the forms on a range of screen sizes and orientations, it is also the form designer's job to ensure it functions well across all of them

  345. MattJ

    HTML/CSS has a bunch of problems, but they do give you the tools to do this. XEP-0004+XEP-0141 do not.

    In the special case of the experiment I've made with XMPP powered remote control, I've add to make dedicated UI. It would be nice to be able to specify from the sender, and also to add stuff like volume control, timer, etc. Cf. https://www.goffi.org/b/74BwHSApD7w7Tr9L9fvR82/news-control-your-media-player-from-omemo and notably the first video.

    regarding the remote control, I was thinging that SVG could actually be a neat way to do elaborated UI

  414. goffi

    and it's XML, making it straightforward to link in XMPP

  415. goffi

    it can be responsive too.

  416. arcxi has joined

  417. msavoritias has joined

  418. goffi

    and there are plenty of tools that could be used, in particular inkscape.

  419. goffi

    No exactly sure about the security implications though.

  420. Zash

    "Complete this game of Tetris to enable the thing"

  421. Zash

    So, is XEP-0141 something we should obsolete? Or is it just unknown?

  422. goffi

    it has been mentioned twice today, so it's not unknown. But I don't think that there are many implementation in the wild, or are there?

    Does chat clients really _need_ full HTML forms (with CSS layouts)?

  481. nikhilmwarrier has joined

  482. Zash

    I like to think that a lot of nice things could be done by inventing datatypes with xep-0122 and then having clients do nice things where it knows those data types. E.g. a timezone type could be smart about its default, even show a map selector.

  483. lovetox

    its either css or nothing, like what do you want to do otherwise, invent a whole new layout language that works with all the different ui frameworks out there ..

  484. lovetox

    im all for more hints about what the data is that we should display, and i think this can be easy done

  485. lovetox

    but starting with stuff like "display this filed on the right side from that field"

  486. lovetox

    i probably not going to implement something like that, sounds like a lot of work with very little gain

    To be clear, I'm personally not advocating adding this complexity into XMPP at all. I just see it as a necessity if we really started using ad-hoc for important things. We don't support this complexity today, which means ad-hoc commands will never be used for more than very simple things (if clients implement them at all).

  575. Zash

    Egg, meet chicken?

  576. MattJ

    I don't think today's ad-hoc + dataforms leads to good UIs, and that's why I don't push for them in modern XMPP clients

  577. raghavgururajan has joined

  578. BASSGOD has joined

  579. MattJ

    Ad-hoc commands with a native UI is fine, and clients already do this (e.g. for creating invitations)

  580. konstantinos has left

  581. lovetox

    i thin adhoc has also value in simply providing a flow for whatever

  582. lovetox

    like if some XEP wants to provide some options to configure something on the server etc, they can simply reuse adhoc

  583. lovetox

    without inventing there own iq flow

  584. MattJ

    Yeah, I agree. And as I said earlier, it might be nice to simplify it somewhat (many of the awkward edge cases are caused by features that aren't used)

  585. lovetox

    as a client developer im not against adding a custom UI for some adhoc workflow, (not my standard rendering of a dataform)

  586. lovetox

    if its a good feature and it benefits from a custom UI why not

  587. lovetox

    but of course the fields should be fixed than

  588. MattJ

    Yep

  589. lovetox

    MattJ, about what are you thinking that you would like to do with adhoc?

  590. Zash

    Yeah, well-known ad-hoc commands with client-side custom UI can be nice.

  591. lovetox

    like until now only server and muc configs are done with adhoc

  592. lovetox

    i think the standard dataform rendering is fine enough for that use case

  593. lovetox

    as its very expert use case

  594. Zash

    MUC config is dataforms, but not ad-hoc

  595. lovetox

    yeah sorry

  596. lovetox

    actually it does not matter if its adhoc

  597. MattJ

    Well that's kind of what started this discussion: why do only the "advanced" clients implement ad-hoc commands + dataforms

  598. lovetox

    the problem for MattJ is the dataform rendering

  599. lovetox

    it does not matter in which context

  600. lovetox

    but its really dataform rendering ...

  601. lovetox

    not adhoc

  602. lovetox

    adhoc of course is a expert use case, because its only used for muc config and server config

  603. lovetox

    and server config is not really neccessary at all

  604. lovetox

    not even sure admins use this

  605. MattJ

    FWIW one thing on my to-do list is a XEP for user account config

  606. moparisthebest

    that would be excellent, could probably get rid of those terrible servers that blanket block all messages from strangers for all accounts

  607. Zash

    Step 0: define scope of that 🙂

  608. lovetox

    MattJ, but what needs to be specified in that XEP?

  609. intosi has left

  610. lovetox

    adhoc on account is already available

  611. intosi has joined

  612. Zash

    Something like XEP-0133 but for users?

  613. lovetox

    Adhoc is only necessary for transport config and server admin config

  614. lovetox

    thats the reason its last on the list for every client

  615. adiaholic has left

  616. lovetox

    these are not important things users need

  617. adiaholic has joined

  618. lovetox

    thats the reason in my opinion, and certainly not because its "to hard to implement"

  619. MattJ

    moparisthebest, yes, that's definitely one of the first things I would like to expose and standardize

  620. Skull Fucker has left

  621. MattJ

    lovetox, on my list of things the XEP should support: a registry of options, types, an ad-hoc command to fetch and set them, and a mechanism to get, set and subscribe to changes in individual options

  622. SteveF has left

  623. adiaholic has left

  624. marc0s has left

  625. marc0s has joined

  626. lovetox

    so basically you specify a set of options which should be available via adhoc@account

  627. lovetox

    and then add a notification thingy on top

  628. lovetox

    i think this is great, please stay with adhoc for fetching and setting the options

  629. lovetox

    because many servers offer already on adhoc account options

  630. lovetox

    it would be less ideal if i have to merge this with some other mechanism

    Why?

  708. lovetox

    Again, nothing about Adhoc is complicated or hard to implement, every other IQ flow is exactly the same

  709. lovetox

    the reason clients dont implement adhoc is because its not needed

  710. lovetox

    its basically only used by nerdy xmpp people that want to admin there server

  711. lovetox

    there is zero reason for any client to implement adhoc

  725. mathieui

    I beg to differ

  726. moparisthebest

    what do non-nerdy people bridge with? certainly not IRC

  727. mathieui

    We see plenty of non-technical people actively wanting bridges

  728. lovetox

    i dont see your argument, i said there is zero reason to implement this, and you argue "but bridge configuration" which is about the most expert thing there is on xmpp

  729. thndrbvr has joined

  730. lovetox

    they want bridges, they dont want to configure them

  731. lovetox

    they simply want them to work

  732. lovetox

    and most work fine without any configuration

  733. lovetox

    im not arguing that adhoc is not useful, im saying its not a good reason to not use adhoc, because "no client implements it"

  734. lovetox

    when the xmpp specs simply have no widley used usecase which uses adhoc

  735. lovetox

    then saying, clients dont implement it because its to complicated

  736. lovetox

    hence lets not use adhoc

  737. lovetox

    no event another iq flow, with 2 attributes less

  738. pasdesushi has left

    accurate

  743. MattJ

    lovetox, I want to support setting one option at a time, and that's a bit weird to do via ad-hoc. It would at least turn it into multiple round-trips when only a single one was necessary.

  747. MattJ

    I want to present an ad-hoc interface to the configuration for clients that want to present the configuration all at once to a user (in a native or dataforms-driven UI).

  748. Zash

    {get,set,enable,disable}-${option} ?

  749. lovetox

    MattJ, if there are valid protocol reason to not do adhoc for something, because it does not fit, im all for it

  750. lovetox

    but please dont base any decision on the count of clients that implement adhoc

  751. Zash

    Hm, maybe one could make a thingy that exposes ad-hoc commands via a chat interface, probably on the bare host JID....

  752. lovetox

    clients implement jingle, adhoc is laughable

  753. jgart has joined

  754. lovetox

    adhoc is 200 lines of code in nbxmpp, and thats is with boilerplate

  755. nikhilmwarrier has left

  756. lovetox

    i think what people confuse this with is, displaying dataforms in a UI

  757. lovetox

    this is certainly not trivial

  758. lovetox

    but is not inherent to Adhoc

  759. lovetox

    a muc configuration form is also a dataform

  760. lovetox

    a IBR flow has also a dataform

  761. Zash

    + not enough existing commands or other dataforms using things exposed that warrant implementing the UI translation routines, which I hear can be pretty complicated on some platforms

  762. lovetox

    correct, for IBR everybody uses the same dataform basically

  763. lovetox

    Conversations never had a dataform UI, and IBR worked fine

  764. Zash

    It's also got a reduced MUC config interface, which is probably fine for the majority

  765. lovetox

    For MUC config you dont need dataform UI, because most servers offer the standard configs, and only very few addtional
