Please refer to its README on how to set it up.You can use the buildout atcollective.xmpp.buildout.The buildout in this egg is used for development purposes.You’ll need to have a working XMPP server and access to the
administration account on the server.Your XMPP server will have to support the following extensionsXEP-0045Multi-user ChatXEP-0071XHTML-IM.XEP-0144Roster Item Exchange.XEP-0124Bidirectional-streams Over Synchronous HTTP (BOSH)XEP-0206XMPP over BOSHConfigurationYou’ll need to have an administrator account on the Jabber server you’ll be
using. Refer to thecollective.xmpp.coreREADME for information on how to
set this up.Once you’ve installedcollective.xmpp.chat, you should go to the Plone
registry in the control panel and set theXMPP Domainas well as theXMPP Admin JIDandXMPP Admin Passwordvalues.Additionally you have the optionAuto-subscribeXMPP users, which is
disabled by default.Enable this option if you don’t want your users to manually maintain their
rosters (i.e subscribing and unsubscribing to one another) and would rather
have everyone subscribe to everyone else. Be careful however, this might cause
a lot of overhead (and therefore be quite slow) on sites with large userbases.Changelog0.3.1 (2013-09-12)Update JS to converse.js 0.6.3 (includes important security fix).
