Hello Martin,
There's really nothing to it.
1. From the Miranda IM window, press Alt to open the menu bar.
2. Down-arrow until you reach the accounts dialog, and press Enter to
open it.
3. Tab to the Add button, and activate it with the Enter key.
4. In the protocols combo box, select Jabber. You can call the account
anything you like. I chose Facebook in this case.
5. Click OK to return to the accounts dialog.
6. Select the newly added Jabber option in your accounts list.
7. Tab through the dialog. When you reach the combo box that asks you
for the gateway/service you want to use, select Facebook.
8. Enter your Facebook username and password into their respective fields.
9. Click OK to close the accounts dialog.
10. All done.
You may need to enable your FB account to accept Jabber connections.
This is disabled by default. I believe the URL to enable it is
www.facebook.com/chat.
This should be all you need to get up and running with Facebook via Jabber.
Regards,
Steve

Hi Steve,
at the moment the facebook plugin is working without any problems. (only the
patched version)
But could you write a short how to use the jabber plugin for the facebook
chat?
I think this could be very helpful in case the facebook plugin does not work
anymore some day or is discontinued.:-)
Have a great day!
take care,
Martin

I think I see the reason for so many differing results. I'm not using
the Facebook plugin; rather, the Jabber plugin with the Facebook
connection option is in use instead. If nothing else works, try
connecting via Jabber instead.

Steve,
this is not true for me. I also use the newest "original" Miranda build
and
had to install the patched facebook chat plugin to get it running again.
Although you are right, I also had no stability issues when the connection
was astablished.
cheers,
Martin

It shouldn't, but there's no way to be absolutely certain with one of
these prebuilt Miranda variants. I've been using the official 0.8 builds
and have not had any issues connecting to any of the chat services to
which I subscribe. If all else fails, try a clean install of the latest
Miranda IM.

Steve

Hey guys,
Even with this new install of this patch, facebook chat seems to be
unstable. Anyone else losing the connection with it?
It doesn't seem to be staying on line much.
Thanks,
Jed
