Like Florian, we've been using a script to do this for some time. Edgar the Bot is written in PHP and it uses the class.jabber.PHP library.
http://edgar.netflint.net To do the opt-in thing you have to add the bot to your roster. Once he knows your presence, you can build a URL and specify one of several iconsets. This is explained in the howto: http://edgar.netflint.net/howto.php An example URL is: http://edgar.netflint.net/[EMAIL PROTECTED]&type=image&iconset=stellar A page with several of these: http://psi-im.org/authors Anyway, I see two ways to do web presence: 1) a bot which has no direct interaction with a server aside from normal C2S. Benefits: can use with any jabber server, no changes required on server Drawbacks: requires user to authorize the bot, possible scaling issues, especially if you hit karma limits (it takes many minutes for Edgar to login and get the presence straight after a script restart) 2) a component or other built-in method which connects directly to a server Benefits: better integration, scales with server Drawbacks: requires server changes, only works with the server where you install the component -- Psi webmaster (http://psi-im.org) im:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://halr9000.com
