Enhanced Jabber (XMPP) Integration

[Sebijk]

Modification is compatible with vBulletin 3.6, 3.7 and 3.8.

As Jelsoft still hasn't been able to integrate Jabber as normal IM Field, I had to make my own hack. This Add-On is based on the Jabber Integration by Patria (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=135158), but completly rewrite this Mod.

What is different in this Add-On?

This Add-On gives you a lot more than just an IM Field for Jabber. It
allows users to send Jabber Messages (see screenshot 2) and can send
Birthday wishes via Jabber, if the JID has been entered by the user. New
post, thread and PM notifications, are integrated too, duuh!

In future we plan seperate Setting for Jabber and E-Mail.

The PHP code changes in EN-codechangs.txt are optional and is not required for running this hack.

Included Languages:

German
English
Russian


Version History:

Version 1.23 RC 4:

* PHP 5.3 Compatibility Fixes for xmpphp
* Bugfixes from Charles_1 included (Thanks to Charles_1)

[flosoft]

Cool, it's finally here. Installing it immediately :)

[AlexanderT]

This one is *pretty* *cool*, Sebijk!

[myown]

tagged for getting updates...

[Mum]

Does everyone do this ' You would also need to fix includes/class.jabber2.php to make it work
with ISO-8859-1:' or only german users? I'm a bit confused at the install instructions.

[touba]

i think it depends which encoding runs on your board... for a german, ISO-8859-1 seems logic... you're from NZ, do you UTF-8 ? :p

[Mum]

I have absolutely no idea, how do i find out what encoding it uses?

[Netaudio]

*Merci*

[Sebijk]

I have absolutely no idea, how do i find out what encoding it uses?

Hello,

Standard Encoding is ISO-8859-1. The English language have not special characters like ????, so you have not problem with this. The fix to work with ISO-8859-1 includes/class.jabber2.php is needed, when a User sends a Jabber Message with special characters.

[Alfa1]

Thank You!!!!!

[Sebijk]

So, the English Translation for Instructions is completed :).

[Alfa1]

Will you be adding other notifications as well?

[Sebijk]

Perhaps in the next release.

[Mum]

Couldn't you enhance this to include a jabber chat room? So all members could join using jabber to one chatroom?

[Sebijk]

Hello,

The current Jabber Class is from Florian Schmitz and have not any functions for Jabber MUC. If your search for a Jabber Web MUC, see at http://zeank.in-berlin.de/muckl/. MUckl is web-based application for Jabber groupchats which aims to be very easy to use (supply a nick and hit the button…).

[Alfa1]

Very interesting.
Would be cool to have Jabber group chat integration (Either member login integration or forum account <-> jabber account integration)

[Mum]

I've been working on jabber integration and will let you know how i did it if you pm me :) This includes group chat :)

[Sebijk]

Cool! Please send me more Information via pm.

[Sebijk]

The Version 1.23 Beta 1 includes a new Jabber Class "xmpphp". This requires PHP 5 (and 64 bit Users requires PHP 5.2.6). You can select, the classes. floele is the legacy Class and works in PHP 4 or PHP 5. xmpphp requires PHP 5.

[Mum]

I'm working on this using MUCkl - are you familiar with this?

[Sebijk]

Not really. MUCkl is completly AJAX und JavaScript based and use http-binding (or http-polling). The problem is the config.js is public for all, so everyone can see the password for the Jabber Account, that use for MUCkl, if you don't using SASL Anonymous.

[Mum]

Ended up just installed sparkweb - works really well, quite happy with it :)

[flosoft]

Hey guys,

what do you think of the new class?

[Sebijk]

New Version 1.22 Beta 2 is out.

[Alfa1]

Thank you for your work. This is developing more and more in the direction of full Jabber integration.

[Alfa1]

Please add 1.23 beta 3. I see it's out in German.

[Sebijk]

[pipin]

Great progress!

[Sebijk]

[matkus]

I'm using vB 3.8.1 and latest version found here.
I can't send visitor messages to myself, user ID 1. Other users can do this, i can send it to others and so on.
I'm not sure if it's admin reason or user ID 1 reason, But when sending visitor message to myself i get whitepage. After disabling this mod problem does not exist any more.
Any suggestions?

[Sebijk]

Hello,

I have no problems with this. Is AJAX enabled? What PHP Version are you use?

[Sebijk]

Now the Enhanced Jabber Integration is going to Release Candidate. But I haven't enough free time to support the product, but support is still valid, as far as my time permits.

Changes since Version 1.23 Beta 7:

Version 1.23 RC 1:

* Some Template Modifications (TMS) changed to Template Hooks.
(Thanks to DragonMasterNYC for using some Code parts)
* Updated xmpphp Class (SVN Rev 75)
* PM Notifications via Jabber is not any more depended with the Setting:
Send E-Mail Notifications about new Private Messages
(useful, if you don't like double Messages)
* Automatically Redirects, if a User sends a Jabber Message from a User Profile.

The Planned Function moved to the future Version 1.24 for time reasons.

[TandyServices]

Having an error when trying to send messages.

[Sebijk]

PHP Version? 32 or 64-Bit?
Is PHP running as Apache Module or as CGI?

[TandyServices]

PHP 5,
32, apache, Cpanel.
The hosting company is Bluehost. I think it is CGI.
Thanks for the fast response :)

[Sebijk]

Sry for my late answer, but i think CGI is the problem. I have only tested as apache Module. I ask the xmpphp Developer for CGI compatibility.

[Sebijk]

my TODO list:



Seperate Settings for E-Mail and Jabber
A Option to send Notifications via Scheduled Tasks, so some Code Modifications are not anymore needed and makes no problems for PM System.
Show Jabber Icon at Tab Friends
Option for Users to seit Public the Jabber ID or private.
Option for Forum Register: Validation via Jabber instead of E-Mail




But i have not enough time for this, but if I have some time, I will working on. If you want develop this Plugin, you are welcome.

Known Issues (02.05.2009) : PM-Autoresponder from Vossi. It make errors by sending PMs.

Solution: Disable Notifications about new PM via Jabber or disable Plugin "New PM Notifications via Jabber".


I have updated the screenshots :), see below.

[Sebijk]

Version 1.23 RC 2 is out:

* Jabber PM Notification is automatically disabled if Vossis PM-Autoresponder is installed (I'm currently work for a complete fix)
* Reduced Template Modifications, only 2 Template Edits is required, if TMS is not installed
* Updated xmpphp Class (SVN Rev 76)

[tereg]

I have just updated to 1.23 RC2, and I am experiencing the following behavior in the postbit section under the user's avatar.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/

I have checked the postbit, postbit_legacy and im_jabber templates, but they appear normal and I see no indication as to why the IM icon is duplicating. I have not experienced any problems until just now. Is anyone else experiencing this?

[Sebijk]

Revert the postbit and postbit_legacy. Since 1.23 RC 2 is no Template Edits at postbit and postbit_legacy required.

[tereg]

When I revert the postbit and postbit_legacy templates, both icons disappear

Reverted postbit template (the relevant section):

[Sebijk]

TMS installed? If yes, delete the Template Modification from postbit and postbit_legacy (at Template-Modifications, NOT Template Edits).

[Sebijk]

Version 1.23 RC 3 is out:

* PHP 5.3 Compatibility Fixes
* Updated xmpphp Class (SVN Rev 77)

[testebr]

Great product, but after message received on my gtalk the page still loading by more 10 seconds... this is killing my patience.

Maybe bad host? Or how to I can improve it?

Thanks

[Sebijk]

see EN-codechanges.txt for improving this or deactivate "Notify of new posts via Jabber", if you don't want use this feature.

WOW! Much better!

I would like to see option to customize the notification message.

I will try integrate to my personal addons, if you have some hints share here.

Thanks

[T34]

I've install it in vB 3.8.4, but there is no jabber icons in the message body, near the Skype icon. I've try to change the templates MEMBERINFO and "whosonlinebite" following the file "EN-templateedits-enhanced_jabber.txt" in archive included, but it doesn't help.

I can see the jabber's menu when enter the user's profile now, but if I press any functional link, I see the answer about non supported address class. :(

[Sebijk]

Have you upload the files? Is the Jabber Profile Feld in User CP visible?

I can see the jabber's menu when enter the user's profile now, but if I press any functional link, I see the answer about non supported protocol.

The Links can only used by a Jabber Client, that support this function, example Psi or Miranda IM with this Plugin (http://dev.miranda.im/~hrathh/assocmgr/AssocMgrv0113bw.zip).

[T34]

Yes, I've uploade them. And I use Psi client on my Linux OS.

But are the client's windows I see at the screenshorts of the first message here, or there are browser windows?

[Sebijk]

But are the client's windows I see at the screenshorts of the first message here, or there are browser windows?

Yes, the Screenshots are from Windows. But It should works with Linux. Psi has since 0.13 xmpp-URI support.

[T34]

Yes, the Screenshots are from WindowsSorry, I mean are this screenshorts of window of browser - or of window of any client program?

[Sebijk]

Yes, there all Screenshots of a Browser.

[T34]

Is it means the client (PSI, for example) doesn't pop up when I click the jabber button, and this client functions in hide mode during I write the message in browser window and when send it?

[Sebijk]

When you click a xmpp-Uri-Link, it opens your Jabber client. Example "Sending Message to xdy@xyz.tld" at "More Jabber Functions via Jabber Client" opens Your Send Message Window of your Client.

The other thing at top sends a Jabber Message without a Client. You need to configure a Jabber Account at vBulletin Settings.

[T34]

The other thing at top sends a Jabber Message without a Client. You need to configure a Jabber Account at vBulletin Settings.Thank you.

I configured JA at vB 3.8.4 settings, but there is no jabber button near skype button at the forum messages of users, who included the jabber address data in there profiles. Also when I click the "Sent Jabber message" at the popup menu in profile, there is no the message body field in popup message window.

How can I solve this trouble?

[tlwwolfseye]

Ok, the Mod works, but there is a problem.

It seems only I (Administrator) get notified of PM's or get messages send to me via Jabber in my Profile. When I or someone else tries to send a Message using Jabber in someone's Forum Account, nothing ever gets there.

And since there is no further permission setting for Registered Users, I wonder why that only works for / with me.

PLEASE HELP !! I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT IS GOING WRONG HERE !

Even adding someone else as Admin doesn't change the fact that he can't receive Messages with the Jabber (Web) Message within his Profile. So why is that ? I thought maybe there would be a thing that it is only working for Admins, but that wouldn't make sense. So why am I the only one that can receive Messages with that thing ?

[BlueEyesOnly]

will this mod be ported to vbulletin4?

[Sebijk]

Sorry for the longtime away from me.

I haven't vbulletin 4 (and I wouldn't pay for this), but a other vB User have a access to Version 4 (and i'm mainintenance the forum from him). I would port it to vBulletin 4, if I have time for this.

I have just updated to 1.23 RC2, and I am experiencing the following behavior in the postbit section under the user's avatar.

I had this too after upgrade from 1.23 RC2. After import new version of product there were 2 icons, so I deleted template edits from older version which are not needed anymore and both icons dissapeared. I looked in plugin which is taking care about inserting (well, by replacing in this case) code to postbit and postbit_legacy and found typo. Fix is easy:

Open plugin "Parse Templates for Jabber" and change 2x this (first is for postbit and second is for postbit_legacy):
(' $post[icqicon]', '$post[jabbericon] $post[icqicon]', $vbulletin->templatecache['postbit_legacy']);

...to this (remove first space before $post[icqicon]):
('$post[icqicon]', '$post[jabbericon] $post[icqicon]', $vbulletin->templatecache['postbit_legacy']);

Icon will appear :)


And one more thing. When I was in usercp (page "Edit Your Details"), there was unchached template "im_jabber_field_modifyprofile". Fix is easy too:

Open plugin "Jabber Integration Template Cache" and change this:
$globaltemplates = array_merge($globaltemplates, array('im_jabber','im_send_jabber', 'im_send_jabber_complete','im_send_jabber_complete _2','memberinfo_block_jabber'));
...to this:
$globaltemplates = array_merge($globaltemplates, array('im_jabber','im_send_jabber', 'im_send_jabber_complete','im_send_jabber_complete _2','memberinfo_block_jabber','im_jabber_field_mod ifyprofile'));
Good luck :up:
