Adium Plugin assistance

[Evan D. Schoenberg, M.D.]

Bob, 

1. Make sure that your AIService subclass references your AIAccountViewController subclass, e.g.
- (AIAccountViewController *)accountViewController{
    return [AINetrekAccountViewController accountViewController];
}

2. In your .xib file, make the FIle's Owner class your custom subclass (AINetrekAccountViewController) and connect its view_* outlets to the appropriate views, e.g. view_options to the options view.

Any view you don't connect will get the default Adium one unless you force it to nil in AINetrekAccountViewController. e.g. if you wanted to ensure no privacy view was shown, you could add there:
 
- (NSView *)privacyView
{
    return nil;
}


Does that get it working for you?

Cheers,
Evan
