Subject: Get MY own vcard photo hash from facebook

Hello,

For google talk, I get my presence, so I can extract my photo hash no problem.

For facebook chat, my own presence doesn't arrive.

How can I get my photo hash?

Thanks!

Alex

for your own photo normally you have to include the hash on your own in the presence.

Sorry, I don't understand your reply;

Do you mean that I need to:
1) request my vcard once
2) keep the hash of the photo
3) each time I create the xmpp client, I will also send my presence with the hash code?

If this is the correct scenario, will it be cheaper (server-wise) to request for my vcard on each connect?

Thanks a lot

yes this is correct. When your users use only your XMPP client then receiving the vCard once is fine. When your users also use other XMPP sometimes where they could change the photo as well you have to request the vcard on every login. Otherwise you cannot know if the photo has been updated or not.
