Hi Gavin.
Sorry I took so long to get back to you. I wasn't able to post to this
list over the holiday period.

Hi all,
Just getting to my first serious playing with djabberd, using svn trunk.
I've got the basics up nicely - auth, rosters, and vcards - and am now
trying to play with bots, components, and MUCs, with rather less success.
I'm trying to use djabberd.conf style configuration, but can't figure out
the proper incantations for things like bots and MUCs. I'm trying to setup
an [EMAIL PROTECTED] bot in my main vhost, for example, using this:
<Plugin DJabberd::Bot::Eliza>
NodeName eliza
</Plugin>
Is this correct? It almost works, and I can add [EMAIL PROTECTED] as a
buddy and chat away ok, but I'm not getting authorised for presence updates?
(An older version references DJabberd::Plugin::Bot, but that's no longer in
svn, so I assume that's obsolete?)
I'm not really all that familiar with the bot code, but a quick scan of
the DJabberd::Bot class suggests to me that it doesn't support
responding to presence subscription requests.
I suspect this is because LiveJournal's bot -- really the only sane bot
implementation right now -- is hardcoded into LiveJournal's
RosterStorage implementation. Adding some code to make bots
automatically respond to subscription requests ought not to be too hard,
though.
I also tried playing with DJabberd::Component::Example, but that and
DJabberd::Component suggest this should be used as follows:
<Plugin DJabberd::Plugin::Component>
Subdomain example
Class DJabberd::Component::Example
Greeting Hello, world!
</Plugin>
but DJabberd::Plugin::Component doesn't appear to be in svn?
That's some old, broken documentation you've found there.
Components are now themselves delivery plugins, so you just load them
directly:
<Plugin DJabberd::Component::Example>
Greeting Hello, world!
</Plugin>
The "subdomain" concept was redesigned, too. To achieve what the example
above set out to do, you'll want this more complete example:
<VHost example.com>
# Other configuration for example.com here
<Subdomain example>
<Plugin DJabberd::Component::Example>
Greeting Hello, world!
</Plugin>
</Subdomain>
</VHost>
It's worth noting that since the documentation in that Example component
is out of date it's possible/likely that the implementation is as well,
so you may find that it doesn't work correctly.
It's also worth noting the currently-undocumented caveat that adding a
Subdomain to a VHost will stop DJabberd from automatically adding the
default set of delivery plugins to that VHost, so you'll need to
explicitly load DJabberd::Delivery::Local and optionally
DJabberd::Delivery::S2S into the example.com VHost above if you aren't
doing so already.
MUC is no longer actually a component, but you load it in the same way
as the component above, just using the name DJabberd::Plugin::MUC. The
MUC support itself is not complete as far as I'm aware, but others on
the mailing list have had some success in using it.
