I like to put coworker's usernames as tags to my tasks, if I need to interact with them to get the task done. Looking over the agenda for the day while i decide on my next task, I decided I wanted to see if my coworkers were available so that I don't have to check around when deciding on my next task. So, I wrote the following function to color my tags based on the jabber availability of the person in question (green / yellow / red). It's not super-efficient, but it should work quickly for most people. If there is widespread interest in this, I can develop it into a contrib package.
(defun ash-jabber-colorize-tags () (let ((contact-hash (make-hash-table :test 'equal))) (dolist (jc jabber-connections) (dolist (contact (plist-get (fsm-get-state-data jc) :roster)) (puthash (car (split-string (symbol-name contact) "@")) contact contact-hash))) (save-excursion (goto-char (point-min)) (while (re-search-forward ":\\(\\w+\\):" nil t) (let ((tag (match-string-no-properties 1))) (when (and tag (gethash tag contact-hash)) (let* ((js (jabber-jid-symbol (gethash tag contact-hash))) (connected (get js 'connected)) (show (get js 'show))) (if connected (let ((o (make-overlay (match-beginning 1) (- (point) 1)))) (overlay-put o 'face (cons 'foreground-color (cond ((equal "away" show) "yellow") ((equal "dnd" show) "red") (t "green"))))))))) (backward-char))))) _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
