question

Is there a way/page in the web interface to see on which channels you are in?

    From top of page: Channels.

    @map: Yes, naturally, but that seems to show only maximum of 12 channels. I have joined more than that..

    The only way I can see the list is to sign out (!!) and click the >more link under the "contacts grid". That listing shows both contacts and channels. When clicking that >more-link when signed in, the contacts management page is shown, which excludes channels.

    @BUGabundo: I don't know... No, not under cover and Jaikungfu is my follower.

    But as I don't use Firefox > I don't use Jaikungfu. If it has something to do with anything...

    I can't remember when I added you @map but I think it should have been a long time ago. I'll double check!

    @BUGabundo: OK, that page has a better listing of all the channels available. However, what I'm after is a list of all the channels I have joined.

    All-in-all, I acknowledge that the channels are still very much underdeveloped feature of jaiku. At the moment they are almost invisible.

    Would there be any sense in e.g. adding a list of favourite channel links to jaikungfu? (with the possibility of listing all the channels you're in ;))

    @shuopio: Sorry for not giving you a better answer before. The problem, if nothing has changed over the last couple of months, is that there's currently no way of finding all the channels one's subscribed to. Which is also why I'm kind of stuck when it comes to doing anything with channels in Jaikungfu.

    If you have any ideas that could bring me forward, I'd be very grateful :)

    Thanks everyone for your responses!

    @lemonad: Is jaikungfu using the Jaiku API or is it extracting its information from the page? Without knowing the details of the API at all, I would presume it would be possible to iterate through the users contacts and check whether they are channels or not (?).

    I fully acknowledge the apparent standstill of Jaiku, just was asking If I simply missed something from the present UI.

    @shuopio: Jaikungfu uses both the Jaiku API as well as information directly obtained from Jaiku pages.

    When it comes to obtaining the channels one's subscribed to, it's unfortunately a matter of an indefinite number of iterations as Jaiku is showing a set of random contacts/channels every time you load your page or the API (http://lemonad.jaiku.com/json). You'll never know when to stop.

    @lemonad: uh oh, thats very "useful" feature then.. Are the native jaiku clients also just hunting the contact list using that? There's not even the number of contacts available anywhere?

    At least Mauku is using the API also, and has similar problems with the changing contacts/channels. The API is totally brain damaged!
