I'm very new to xmpp and jabber services.
I try to add voting ability to jabber chat rooms. What is the best way to do it?
I know, there are some bots written for jabber.
I have openfire server. I think, bot can be added to every chat room, created on server, but what is the way to store voting results, for example.
Case:
Chat room is created
Users are added
Bot is added to room
Bot reads messages and when it gets
/voting firtree:'FirTree decoration' 1:'red balls' 2:'green balls'
Voting is created
User sends
'/vote firtree:1'
and his vote goes to 1st variant of firtree voting.

I can see from this, that a bot can send a message in chat, and if supplied a thread ID that does not exist, will start a new thread and post there. I am wondering if there is a way, given the current REST API or any other compatible with Hangouts, to send a message to a room at a given time of day, rather than when the bot is called or interacted with.
I am working in NodeJS, deploying my project in the GCP.
My apologies for the ambiguity of my question, I am trying to wrap my mind around the GCP environment.
In the bots documentation there are described the three ways in which a bot can send a message to a room. Those are:
Every time the bot is mentioned.
When the bot enters a room for the first time.
When the bot is taken out of the room.
Unfortunately, none of them is a daily message at a given time. If you still have questions, please ask them freely.
We have a working bot (NodeJS based) which sends messages freely. Just use this endpoint https://developers.google.com/hangouts/chat/reference/rest/v1/spaces.messages/create .
Your bot must be invited to the particular space/room for this. You can create threads as well with new and subsequent messages.
We also have bots written in Google Apps Script and there it is also possible.
First from this question :
Asmack/openfire How do I keep a user permanently in groupchat room
I read that I cannot use MUC to keep the user persistent in the group, they'll automatically leave the group and can rejoin after they come online again, that concept is like IRC like what've been asked in here -> http://community.igniterealtime.org/thread/48020.
Then from the stackoverflow question I read about using pubsub, then I've done some research about pubsub and what I've got is pubsub can persist the user to be in the group even the user is offline but the message flow is more like one directional from the publisher to the subscriber (read-only).
So if I want to create a group chat application can I use pubsub and set all the member to become both publisher and subscriber? or is there any alternative solution?or my understanding of the pubsub and MUC is incorrect?
my goal is to create some group chat like in the whatsapp or blackberry messenger group.
Thanks.
You can make users permanent in Group chat in MUC by changing the following code of openfire.
File : src/java/org/jivesoftware/openfire/muc/spi/LocalMUCUser.java
change line 547-550:
// TODO Consider that different nodes can be creating and processing this presence at the same time (when
remote node went down)
removeRole(group);
role.getChatRoom().leaveRoom(role);
TO:
// TODO Consider that different nodes can be creating and processing this presence at the same time (when
remote node went down)
// TODO Dont remove user from group when they go offline.
//removeRole(group);
//role.getChatRoom().leaveRoom(role);
Currently I am using Olark for live chat on my website.
I am planning to replace it with an in house OpenFire installation.
However, there is one problem.
With Olark live chat snippet (which I embed on my website) - if a user opens the website in multiple tabs - it's prefilled with the ongoing conversation. For e.g. - you can try it on (moonclerk.com).
How do I achieve the same pre population of chat window with the ongoing conversation with OpenFire + FP WebChat?
The way we achieve it at Olark is not exactly trivial. We don't actually use an XMPP client on the end-user's side, which makes it a bit easier, but basically our transport layer is able to grab conversation events for a conversation in-progress based on a session UUID that is stored in the user's cookies. XMPP isn't involved in that process at all, for us (it is only concerned with final delivery to and from Operators).
I don't know what FastPath's architecture is like, but if you were looking for this functionality, or to add it yourself, XMPP supports retrieving some n number of messages from the message history for a client. Check out XMPPFramework - Retrieve Archived Messages From Openfire Server for more on that.
I just started working on xmpp its wiki page says that "The architecture of the XMPP network is similar to email; anyone can run their own XMPP server and there is no central master server."Hence it is decentralized
In my application I want that user can create a specific group chat box on a click of button.
My question is if the main user who created chatbox become offline will the chat box created by him will remain alive as decentralized suggest that user who created will act as a server. If not , could anyone suggest what can be done for keeping chatboxes alive even when the user become offline.
Multi User Chats (called 'MUC' in the XMPP world) are hosted by a XMPP component. This means that the user who initiated the chat *does not act as chat provider, but this particular MUC component. This component runs usually on the same machine as your XMPP server. Therefore the chat exists - if the MUC is marked as permanent - even if the user quits the chat.
More information can be found in XEP-0045: Multi-User Chat
I need to include chat, in my application. People sign in the chat and create their user and chat to other users. However it needs to be like facebook chat or pingchat where you add friends you want to talk to.
Can anyone give me pointers to what i need to do? I've heard about xmpp servers but not sure if that is the right thing for my app. Any help would be much appreciated
Thanks
Is your app going to create new users, and add them in the chat list, or going to use existing users (like Gtalk, Y! Messenger etc) on existing protocols (like IRC, XMPP etc)...?
If you are going to implement your own chat system, where your users are registering in your website, then you are going to do these things:
Setup your website
Create a protocol (that's, how you pass messages)
Write and implement an API (in PHP, ASP etc)
Connect that API with your iPhone app.
How it works?
You keep a table of chat messages. The table include:
Chat_From
Chat_To
Chat_Message
Timestamp
All what you do is, when you start a Chat session from Alice to Bob, you just enter them in the table. Next, you fetch the row from the Web Server to your App, by calling your PHP file (say, http://mychatserver.com/getChat.php) based on the condition SELECT CHAT_MESSAGE FROM CHAT_TABLE WHERE CHAT_FROM="ALICE" AND CHAT_TO="BOB";. This message is displayed in your App.
This process should be performed repeatedly, with an interval of, say 1 sec.
I hope you got this idea.
