View the messages published to ejabberd xmpp nodes - xmpp

I have an ejabberd xmpp pubsub server and I'd like to view the messages that have been published to specific nodes. Is there a way to accomplish this within the web admin; if not, how? Thanks much.

I don't know of a way to view pubsub node activity from the web admin, but ejabberd does have a ejabberd-message-archiving module and that may allow it.
You could create a bot or other piece of code that is subscribed to the nodes you want to track and have it create a web viewable archive.

In ejabberd user left group when he goes offline

In group chat once user goes offline, he also goes out from group. How can I kept him in group so that he will receive chat notification as well when he comes online. I am using ejabberd and strophe js for web chat application.
Multi-User Chat as defined in XEP-0045 is based on presence. Thus, that's the expected behaviour.
ejabberd also implements a work in progress extension written by the XSF: XEP-0369: Mediated Information eXchange (MIX).
ejabberd master implements that specification already even if this is just a draft. At the moment, it is not finished and is just experimental. It cannot be used in production just yet.

Is there any way to add custom command processor to xmpp char rooms for voting?

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.

Laravel socket chat application

I'm new with web sockets, and i want to create a private chat with laravel between authenticated users and anonyme users , i'm not asking to give me the codes, i want a way to do that , i want to understand how can i do that
I'm thinking to that for a couples days ago, and i fount that i should make this steps :
1- Create chat with socket
2- intergrate it with laravel (1)
3- show connected users ( i don't know id if that i should make that with socket or with laravel framework )
4- fix the chat to make it private ( build some socket or somethink like that)
i want to know how i can do that ?

If I were doing this, I would separate the sockets server and the frontend implementation.
This would allow you to scale both the dispatch and the client services at different rates.
You can use any library of your choosing, usually the best is going to be on the top.
http://www.sanwebe.com/2013/05/chat-using-websocket-php-socket
That explains it a bit more than I am willing to.
basically you will have one instance of laravel that is only responsible for rest/socket communication. It will provide the client(frontend) with the information that it needs.
When a registered user logs in, You simply notify your socket server via rest a user has logged in, In turn your socket server will query the db for all currently logged in users, trigger the event of UserLoggedIn , attaching perhaps an array of logged in users which would then be broadcasted to all of the listening clients.
When a client receives that notification, your js (if necessary) would update the list of available chatters with the one provided by the dispatch.
You will also need to maintain a list of active unregistered user socket connections so that you know who's where and who should get what message.
This is the general idea behind it.

xmpp protocol decentralized actual meaning?

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

Best way to integrate an XMPP Server into Webapplication

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.
