For those who originally picked up version 0.2.1 for Pidgin Portable, there's no a MANUAL INSTALLATION Option for you.

First, pick up the zipped version of the plugin at http://microblog-purple.googlecode.com/files/pidgin-microblog-0.2.2.zip

Second, unzip & install the files
into X:\PortableApps\PidginPortable\App\Pidgin (replace X with your USB's drive
letter) & allow overwrites, if any.

Third, fire up Pidgin & enjoy!

For those who aren't willing to take the manual route, you can wait for the official portable release later at http://microblog-purple.googlecode.com/

Greetings, I'm new to the forum, so pardon this posting if it is not appropriate...

Pidgin 2.5.8 was released a couple of days ago. It looks like there was some fixes for Yahoo and Myspace.

Will the portable version be available soon?

Regards,

Jeff

Thanks to the developers, my prayers have been answered

I found a plug-in for this "problem". To be exactly it's not a true workaround. It's just a web site offering free video conferences, that made a plug-in for Pidgin. That means the site works on any system!

The only problem with it is the following:

It only is available for Pidgin running on Windows!
The setup that can be downloaded needs a standard Pidgin installation. (Wait for the workaround!)

Workaround:
It doesn't matter if Pidgin ist running or not!

well at least they patched the yahoo login problem, but another one's poped up when you try to send a file the new version locked up and froze on me three times

Heya,

while you are working on the 0.8 release would it be possible to include code similar to the one from ThunderbirdPortable Launcher to set up GnuPG Settings when running the launcher?

"Why?" you will ask .. the plugin SecureIM can be used in RSA/AES and PGP/GPG mode. The latter is supported by many other clients natively, e.g. Psi (Jabber), licq, Gajim, ...

i've been having problems trying to use yahoo messenger on pidgin, all the other services work, but yahoo messenger, it won't connect and it's giving me username and password incorrect messeges, if there's a fix please help

1) Edit PidginPortable\App\GTK\etc\gtk-2.0\gtkrc, set gtk-theme-name to
anything but MS-Windows, say
gtk-theme-name = "Emacs"

2) (Re)start pidgin

3) Pidgin crashes with message:
"AppName: pidgin-portable.exe AppVer: 2.5.6.0 ModName:
libcairo-2.dll
ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 0001f5e8"

Does not seem to happen with normal version of pidgin (ie. non-portable)

Any ideas how to fix?

Thanks!

Hi guys.
Is someone already working on this one?
Finally they added support for offline messages in msn!!!

I have used Pidgin for a long time without any problems. But now I have a problem with it and I don't know what to do about it... When Pidgin wants to connect to my accounts it is always shown a "windows error reporting" window. BTW, I don't use any plugins... Please, could you tell me what's wrong with my Pidgin? Thanks a lot.
