I am using openfire as chat server and JsJac as client library for chat web application. JsJac working fine with one to one chat and groupchat. I have added monitoring plugin in openfire for message archiving. Now I want functionality of downloading entire group chat history.
Question : Is it possible to download entire group chat using JsJac or there is any other better approach available for that?
Thanks

We are implementing a chat application using Openfire as server. The clients are various mobile platform and web interface for which we are using xmppframework for iOS Smack for Android and Strophe.js for the web.
Following this http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0085.html#bizrules-threads we are sending messages with different thread values to start a new thread. But we noticed that while archiving through the Monitor plugin available for Openfire the details like thread is not stored. In server the auto archive mode is on.
As mentioned here the manual archive is not yet implemented in this plugin http://www.igniterealtime.org/projects/openfire/plugins/monitoring/readme.html
Was anybody successful to store the messages according to thread ids in Openfire and also retrieve that information while showing the chat history on the clients ?
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'm working on a middle size community project, using php and the php framework symfony2 atm.
We are planning to integrate XMPP as a support chat and premium feature for our users. The users will be able to connect via a webclient and also via normal xmpp clients.
So here are my questions:
About the Rosters: I want to have the users from the friends list listed in the users contact list. I know that this can be done with rosters. But how can I implement this on a simple and stable way? Is there a good Server implementation that can get the users roster out of a sql database like pgsql?
What happens on the client when the roster datas are beeing changed while the user is logged in on the xmpp server?
Can I group the users that are listed in the roster of a user?
Which XMPP server project would you recommend for that kind of project?
Thanks for your help in advance!
most existing XMPP servers support all popular DBRMs. So this should be no problem.
probably nothing when you make the changes directly do the database. So have to find a server where you can initiate a roster push to all connected clients. See also the XMPP RFCs for roster updates.
yes, roster groups are a core feature of XMPP.
You can find a list of XMPP servers here: http://xmpp.org/xmpp-software/servers/ You have to check which servers support pgsql and allow you to update the roster and initiate the roster pushes to connected resources.
we're in the process of adding text chat to our dating site and I'm considering using xmpp - specifically ejabberd on the server side, and we will be implementing an ajax client.
i'd like to hear from someone with good xmpp experience - is it architecturally suitable for chat on a dating site ? in chat on a dating site anybody can chat one-on-one with anybody - they don't have to be on your 'friends' list. Also we do not want a chat room - only one-on-one chat.
Or is xmpp more suitable for the model where someone has to add you to their friends list before you can with them ?
thanks in advance.
XMPP should work fine for you. Ejabberd, depending on the number of concurrent users you have, should be a fine starting point. Consider using a BOSH library like Strophe.js in your HTML client. If you use that library, you'll want a copy of Professional XMPP Programming with JavaScript and jQuery, which has examples of all of the code you'll need.
You do NOT need to have presence subscriptions in place to send chat messages between users, except in specific server implementations like GoogleTalk. Reducing the number of presence subscriptions will also drastically increase the number of users you can handle concurrently.
I am developing a XMPP chat with XIFF library using Flex.
My problem is I want to develop a customer service chat system. When user enter my program they will only see one service man and service man will see all users.
When I tried with XIFF, I developed small chat program like google talk. First, users need to to add buddy. Second, users need to go Multiuser chat room (but Multiuser chat room will see all participants).
Can any one give me an idea or approach to success?
Thanks in advance
using single chat and multiple connection.
If User==Service Man => send chat to all users one-by-one
If User!=Service Man => Send chat to Service Man
