Plugin Jabber

This Wiki Plugin allows a Jabber Chat with Tikiwiki: runs a Java applet that connects to a local (same machine as the webserver running Tiki) Jabber service. Written by Dennis Heltzel, 9/15/2003

Jabber, in short, is a open protocol for chat, using the Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP), which is an open, XML-based protocol for near-real-time, extensible instant messaging (IM) and presence information (a.k.a. buddy lists). It is the core protocol of the Jabber Instant Messaging and Presence technology. The protocol is built to be extensible and other features such as Voice over IP and file transfers have been added.

Requirements

• A Jabber server on your web host (same PC)
• JAVA enabled browsers

You can only use this plugin to connect to a jabber server that is running on the same server as the http server for tiki. This is a constraint of the applet for security reasons. you can get more info about that at http://jabberapplet.jabberstudio.org.

Installation

To make this plugin work:

1. get the JabberApplet from here: http://jabberapplet.jabberstudio.org/JabberApplet.jar
2. put it in a directory called jabber under $TIKI_BASE/lib, the path must resolve to: lib/jabber/JabberApplet.jar
3. make sure your local jabber server is started and you know it's name
4. substitute the name of your local jabber server for 'jabber.org' in the example above and put it into a wiki page.

Usage

To display a module in a wiki page, use the syntax:

{JABBER(height=>200, width=>200, xmlhostname=>jabber.org, defaultColor=>255,255,255)} {JABBER}

{JABBER(height=>200, width=>200, xmlhostname=>jabber.org, defaultColor=>255,255,255)} {JABBER}
