editfriendgroups — Edit the user's defined groups of friends.

Mode Description

Given several optional lists, will add/delete/update/rename the friends groups for a user.

Arguments

  1. [struct](required)

    Containing keys:

    • username(required):

      • [scalar](required) Username of user logging in.

    • auth_method(optional):

      • [scalar](required) Authentication method used for this request. The default value is "clear", for plain-text authentication. "cookie" and any of the challenge / response methods are also acceptable.

    • password(optional):

      • [scalar](required) DEPRECATED. Password of user logging in in plaintext. If using the "clear" authentication method, either this or "hpassword" must be present.

    • hpassword(optional):

      • [scalar](required) DEPRECATED. MD5 digest of user's password. Not much more secure than password, but at least it's not in plain text.

    • auth_challenge(optional):

      • [scalar](required) If using challenge / response authentication, this should be the challenge that was issued to you by the server.

    • auth_response(optional):

      • [scalar](required) If using challenge / response authentication, this should be the response hash that you generate, based on the formula required for your challenge.

    • ver(optional):

      • [scalar](required) Protocol version supported by the client; assumed to be 0 if not specified. See Chapter 11: Protocol Versions for details on the protocol version

    • groupmasks(optional):

      • [struct](required) A structure of friend userids. The values of each are a string representing an unsigned 32-bit integer with bit 0 set (or the server will force it on anyway), bits 1-30 set for each group the friend belongs to, and bit 31 unset (reserved for future use).

        Containing keys:

      • set(optional):

        • [struct](required) Given the bit of a friend group, the value contains a structure of information on it.

          Containing keys:

          • [struct](optional; multiple allowed)

            Containing keys:

            • name(required):

              • [scalar](required) Create or rename the friend group by sending this key. The value is the name of the group.

            • sort(optional):

              • [scalar](required) This field should be sent to indicate the sorting order of this group. The value must be in the range of 0-255. The default is 50.

            • public(optional):

              • [scalar](required) If this is "1", then this group is marked as public. If public, other users can see the name of the group and the people that are in it.

      • delete(optional):

        • [array](required) Containing items:

          • [scalar](optional; multiple allowed) A number of a friend group to delete (which can be from 1-30, inclusive). The server will modify all old entries that allow access to that friend group, so a new friend group using that number won't have access to old non-related entries, and unset the bit for that friend group on the groupmask of each friend, unless your client sends the friend's new groupmask explicitly.
