Enhanced Jabber (XMPP) Integration
 

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, 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:

Thank you to flosoft for the English Translation and zCarot for the Russian Translation. :)

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

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

tagged for getting updates...

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.

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

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

*Merci*

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.
