I would like to have two people join the same chat session. I noticed that using the binder_id to let users join the same chat, the chat data seems to be persistent. That is, the next time the users decide to chat, they will see the data from previous session. Is there a way to create ephemeral chat session that is erased when the chat session is closed or when everyone left the chat session? Thank you very much.
There are two options:
You can integrate "Meet" instead of chat. With meet the session data is not stored. The users will not see the data from previous session when you start a new meet.
If you don't want to integrate "meet" instead of chat, then you will have to delete the binder after every chat session. You can delete a binder by making a REST API call. Here are the details: https://developer.moxtra.com/moxo/docs-rest-api/#binder-apis

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.
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 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.
I am new to XMPP.
I am using Openfire server, and created a console client using Smack library.
My usecase:
All users anonymous, logged in (In future, website visitors) will be able to see other anonymous, logged-in users. And they can initiate a private chat (one-to-one) with any of them.
So, I am able to logged in as Anonymous user, but I am not able to see other Anon / Logged in users (using Roster), because they are not in anon user's roster.
So, What should be configuration OR custom=component/code to to achieve this usecase?
Do I need to create server component? Any hint? OR
It can be done using proper configuration?
Cheers
You should create Multi chat room MUC, and join users after login to this room.After user joins muc room they can get paricipiants list.
