Better use git and not the archive, as the archive still contains two small bugs.

me want this now!!!

Nice...

~friendica rocks!!! :\.../

Cool I want to try this now!

@Leberwurscht Brot This is already working rather well!

I'm taking it the addon would attempt to add Friendica contacts whose XMPP addresses were identical to their Friendica addresses - is that right?

Alternatively, we could have a profile/database entry for XMPP accounts, couldn't we?

OMG :-o awesome!!!

No, the addon has a cron hook that tries to get the jabber addresses from the friendica sites of the contacts, but this does not work yet unfortunately... I'm working on it
A profile entry for XMPP accounts would be very useful I think, but I tried to get it working only as an addon without modifications of the Friendica source.

a-word-ness is on its way

The discovery thing is probably not worth trying very hard. I've got Friendica and XMPP on the same machine, but on different subdomains (and I'm using different nicks, too). Other people won't even have their XMPP accounts on the same machine, especially those on shared hosts.

This is well worth a database/profile entry, isn't it? @Mike

Somebody said "as soon as the last missing features (most important chat and liking comments) are implemented the people will start to switch." and I was able to say "Actually, I've just installed chat".

(I promptly broke it, but that's besides the point).

It needs a little work (move the BOSH field to the admin panel, get the button themed), but this is a great little addon already.

Will it be possible to install the lot - including Jappix itself - in a standard Friendica install or update? Or is there a license issue?

Yes it would be practical to include it, but I don't understand the AGPL at all - no idea if this would be legal. I think an automatic download function (similar to the update function) would be okay.

@Mike If you find some time, could you perhaps restructure the retrieval and un-zipping functions used for updating so that it is possible to use them in addons more easily?

@Leberwurscht Brot I understand the discovery mechanism now. It's simple, but ingenious and doesn't interfere with anything that is already there! But I do agree with Thomas' suggestion that the BOSH setting should be an admin function. As far as I can see, any changes the user makes here depend on the admin's support anyway. Isn't that correct?

I'm going to rework the existing XMPP documentation - suggesting it as an alternative for people who want more flexibility. Then I'll write a new how-to for the new plugin, as soon as it becomes official.

do your xmpp servers live at the same domain/sub-domain combo as your friendica installs? mine don't. maybe that's why it's not working... or maybe it's this FUBAR account... *SIGH*

They don't have to live on the same domain, no.

The important thing is to configure for the Jappix BOSH server. That's in USER settings.

I've already updated the existing XMPP how-to: http://friendica.com/node/20

The plugin how-to will follow as soon as the addon becomes official.
