I am working on the chat application.
I want to implement the group user chat and I have successfully done that.
Now I want toad the functionality by which user can leave the group. I found leave the group but it seems like it's just making user unavailable but not removing user from the member list.
Is there any way by which user remove himself from the member list?
I have read the xep 0045 for it, in that there is a topic for existing the room which seems make user unavailable but not removing from member list.
http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0045.html#exit
If anyone has any idea how to do this please share it.
Leaving a room in XMPP (0045) is accomplished by sending an unavailable presence to that room (see XMPPRoom.leaveRoom() in the XMPPFramework) - that should remove them from the occupants of that room (we do this with our app regularly).
"Members list" - is a MUC feature for moderator use cases, it is not related to user. Just leave room as described in XEP, you no need to modify members list. In fact, you no need to add user in this list too, simple chat application should only tracks <presence> stanzas from and to room JID.

Imagine that a database connected to an XMPP server stores users, it also stores an extra data column (let's call it dataId) for each user. The data column can take on three values: 1, 2, or 3.
In an XMPP client that logs in to the server, a list of users is displayed along with their XMPP presence status. The list displays users that all have the same value of of dataId. The client can change the dataId value that is displayed, meaning that if he switches the value, then the user is now somehow subscribed to the presence of the new list of users, but not to the old list of users.
I wonder if someone with experience with XMPP has a suggestion as to which XEPs or corresponding eJabberd (or Prosody) modules could be used or are best suited for this type of functionality.
I am slowly going through the XEPs, but there are a lot of them, and it's not clear as of yet which modules could be used, or if I would perhaps need to set up some custom code on my XMPP server to handle this.
You can take a look at XEP-0140. This behaves similar to rosters except that all users in a shared roster group will be able to see all other users in the group. You can create multiple shared roster groups and easily switch a user between them by adding or removing the user from the group. You can also have nested groups. You can look at the example on using shared roster groups for different cases here, using ejabberd.
Could someone give me a link (github/gitlab) of a swift projet which show the possibility of managing Users on Parse.
For example , I would like for a user (who have 15 friends):
to create a group with 5 friends for example (the user could add a name for this group)
to delete if necessary the group
to send a message(textfield) to a group
to send a message (textfield) to a user
For the UI, I would like if it exists, to manager user like the Springboard (having the picture of user in round), and when you longpress on it, you have a cross to delete /and 'block sign' to block user.
And the user could drag/drop other user on his friend list to create a group (like on the Springboard when you create a group of app)
Thanks for helping me !
Have a nice day!
I've not come across such framework for parse/swift. I think you need to build it yourself.
This might help you in the direction:
Friend/de-friend people: https://stackoverflow.com/a/32557977/3314336 &
Parse Swift: User relations with a "friends request"
Send messages framework: https://github.com/slackhq/SlackTextViewController
What you're asking for is pretty general and extensive. You could use Roles and Relations to manage friend groups. You could have Group objects, give them an owner, and a relation for all the members of the group.
For chat, I'd recommend not trying to just build that directly into Parse. Twilio recently released their Programmable Chat feature, which is awesome. Sounds like it'd be beneficial for you to use that.
We're implementing an xmpp client and we are using ejabberd as xmpp server.
We've implemented muc (multi user chat) functionalities to our app and everything is working fine , only thing we are having problem is a member to leave the group permanently.
I know in XEP 45 says if you want to leave the group just send the unavailable presence to room but this doesnt work in our case because our admins add users of the group to memberList
by sending the below xml:
<iq from='crone1#shakespeare.lit/desktop'
id='member1'
to='coven#chat.shakespeare.lit'
type='set'>
<query xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/muc#admin'>
<item affiliation='member'
jid='hag66#shakespeare.lit'
nick='thirdwitch'/>
</query>
</iq>
And when a member send unavailable presence, this doesnt affect the groups member list(Which is working as we wanted)
So we want to find a way for a member to remove himself/herself from group members list permanently so he/she wont be able to receive any messages from that group anymore
Is something like that possible? Can we remove ourself from groups member's list like whatsapp's leave chat functionality.
When user leaves room he will not receive messages anymore - XMPP MUCs are presence-based. "Member lists" are only for administrative purposes and does not control message receiving.
There are some another XMPP extension specifications designed with "persistent" member list in mind, for example MUC Light - it can be more suited for you needs.
As defined in XEP-0045, if the MUC admin added another user as member, that added user cannot remove himself as member.
However, as a default in XEP-0045, MUC members do not receive message. This brings me to think this is not the problem you are hitting.
I suggest that you use MUC/Sub as implemented in ejabberd and defined in this specification for more flexibility. It is 100% compliant with MUC specification, so MUC compliant client and MUC/Sub enhanced client can participate in the same workflow.
In your case, I think that you need to subscribe your users to the events he wants (message, possibly presence or configuration changes). Subscription can be handled by users so that user can also control unsubscribe. It should do exactly what you want.
You need ejabberd 16.09 to use that specification. MUC/Sub is defined here: https://docs.ejabberd.im/developer/xmpp-clients-bots/proposed-extensions/muc-sub/
I am new to XMPP and working on a group chat application similar to watsapp. The scenario is:
"User A creates a group chat adding users B, C and D to it. All members are online and they are chatting. Now D takes the app to background or kills the app. Now A removes D from the group. How user D will be notified that A has removed him from the group, when D comes back to the app ?
I am using ejabberd (15.11) with PostgreSQL and following the XMPP architecture. I am not sure if the answer is out there, so would like to get help here.
XMPP MUC specifications says in section 9.5: Modifying the Member List:
If a removed member is currently in a members-only room, the service
SHOULD kick the occupant by changing the removed member's role to
"none" and send appropriate presence to the removed member as
previously described. The service MUST subsequently refuse entry to
the user.
It means that the participant will only receive his own status change modification if it is present it the room when the event happen. If he is not online at that time, he can only know his credentials has been removed, because he cannot join the room anymore. In other words, in the current state of the specifications, there is no way to get that removal notification when user was not in the room when the removal happened. You can just infer he was removed because he cannot join the room again on next login.
There is nothing else defined in XEP-0045 Multi-User Chat to store membership event for offline participant and later delivery.
I am working on a social network that should allow members to chat with visitors on the site. The concept is simple.
Users who have registered signup get their own account with rosters
When a visitor comes to the home page of the social network, he can see some of the online members of the community
Now he should be able to initiate a chat with them, by clicking on their name.
I have already got members to chat with their roster mates. My question is, how can I get an anonymous user to chat with a member and exchange presence info with him?
I have successfully managed to create anonymous accounts, members accounts and even send messages from an anonymous user to other members. But I cant get presence information from anonymous-user to member or vice versa?
BTW, the chat is JS based.
You're trying to break the XMPP model. Presence is an opt-in permission based system. You ask me if you can see my presence, I say yes. Generally my client will then automatically ask you if I can see your presence, and your client says yes. That's what the roster is -- yes's and no's to presence subscription requests.
You can make chat rooms (MUC, multi user chat) that are anonymous, as well as do presence in them. It's not a roster, though. It's the closest to what you're describing without going into crazy-land with pubsub, and I don't know if you could even bend that tool far enough to have anonymous roster entries.
