Patch Messaging Forward Messages

<<- Return to webOS Patches

Description: This mod will allow you to forward a message by simply tapping on the text of a message in the chat view. It does not interfere with the current attachment-tapping behavior. Tapping an attached image ask if you want to forward. Selecting "No" will still prompt for a save, etc., while selecting "Yes" will open a the compose dialog, with the message and attachments pre-populated.

Note: There is a patch available for the mod. Please see Applying Patches for instructions.

Step One: Create the model

Back up and modify /usr/palm/applications/com.palm.app.messaging/app/models/messaging-luna-service.js.

After line 10, add the following:

forwardIdentifier: 'palm://com.palm.applicationManager',

  forwardMessage: function(sceneController,messageText,attachment) {
	var opts = {
                method: 'launch',
                parameters: {
                        id: 'com.palm.app.messaging',
                        params: {
                        }
                }
        };
        if (messageText)
                opts.parameters.params.messageText = 'FWD: '+messageText;
        if (attachment)
                opts.parameters.params.attachment = attachment;
        return sceneController.serviceRequest(MessagingMojoService.forwardIdentifier,opts);
  },

Step Two: Make it respond to a tap on the text

Back up and modify /usr/palm/applications/com.palm.app.messaging/app/controllers/chatview-assistant.js

Find the function handleMessageTap, starting on line 1480:

The first few lines:

        handleMessageTap: function(event){  
                var eventTarget = this.controller.get(event.originalEvent.target);

                var mmsImageTarget = MessagingUtils.getClassUpChain(eventTarget,'MMSImageObject');                                                                                 
                if(mmsImageTarget) {

And the last few lines:

                                                                                                                                                                                   
                        MessagingMojoService.getMessageErrorInfo(this.controller, messageData.messageId, messageData.flags, this.handleMessageErrorPopup.bind(this,messageData));  
                                                                                                                                                                                   
                }.bind(this), false);                                                                                                                                              
        },

Replace the entire function with the following:

        handleMessageTap: function(event){
                var eventTarget = this.controller.get(event.originalEvent.target);

                var mmsImageTarget = MessagingUtils.getClassUpChain(eventTarget,'MMSImageObject');
                if(mmsImageTarget) {
                        var imagePath = mmsImageTarget.getAttribute('originalSrc');
                        this.controller.showAlertDialog({
                                onChoose: function(value) {if(value == "forward"){MessagingMojoService.forwardMessage(this.controller, event.item.messageText, imagePath);} else {this.controller.stageController.pushScene('imageview', imagePath);}},
                                title: $L("Forward Message"),
                                message: $L("Do you want to forward this message?"),
                                choices:[
                                        {label:$L("Yes"), value:"forward", type:"affirmative"},
                                        {label:$L("No"), value:"", type:"negative"}
                                ]
                        });
                        return;
                }

                var mmsVideoTarget = MessagingUtils.getClassUpChain(eventTarget,'mms-video');
                if(mmsVideoTarget) {
                        var videoPath = mmsVideoTarget.getAttribute('filePath');
                        var videoName = mmsVideoTarget.getAttribute('fileInfo');

                        var args = {

                                name: "nowplaying"
                        };
                        var params = {
                                target: videoPath,
                                title: videoName
                        };
                        this.controller.showAlertDialog({
                                onChoose: function(value) {if(value == "forward"){MessagingMojoService.forwardMessage(this.controller, event.item.messageText, videoPath);} else {this.controller.stageController.pushScene(args, params);}},
                                title: $L("Forward Message"),
                                message: $L("Do you want to forward this message?"),

                                ]
                        });
                        return;
                }

                var mmsVcardTarget = MessagingUtils.getClassUpChain(eventTarget,'mms-vcard');
                if(mmsVcardTarget) {

        },

Reboot for changes to take effect.

Usage

To forward a message, open the Messaging application, tap a chat thread, then tap an individual message. A dialog will pop up asking if you would like to forward. If the message has an attachment, it will be forwarded, as well. A new compose card will open with the message text pre-populated. Simply choose the recipient(s).

Notes

Patching Patch Messaging Character Counter will not allow for this patch to work, please take a look into this. -thatdude

If the Patch Messaging Character Counter patch is applied manually it works fine with this patch. -NetWhiz

Would it be possible to make this into a patch that could be installed with preware? I think this would be much appreciated by people less inclined to root their pre. -The818Studios
