Roundcube Converse.js XMPP plugin

This is XMPP plugin for Roundcube Webmail based on converse.js.

The plugin is currently unmaintained. If you want to take over, please drop me an issue so that I can transfer the repository.

Requirements

• BOSH support in XMPP server or BOSH connection manager
• (optional) BOSH proxy in web server, to avoid crossdomain issues
• (recommended) XMPP server set to broadcast incoming messages to all resources. See notes below.

Installation

• cd your_roundcube_dir/plugins
• git clone https://github.com/priyadi/roundcube-converse.js-xmpp-plugin converse
• cd converse
• git checkout v0.8.3.0
• cp config.inc.php.dist config.inc.php
• vi config.inc.php (make necessary adjustments)
• cd your_roundcube_dir/
• vi config/main.inc.php (add 'converse' to $rcmail_config['plugins'])
• done!

If you are already logged on to Roundcube, you need to log out and log back in for the plugin to initialize correctly. You can also remove all your PHP session files to force log out all of your users.

Notes

This plugin creates a new XMPP session on each page rendering in order to support multiple active window. To avoid confusion it is recommended to have the XMPP server broadcast incoming messages to all resources.

• Openfire: "route.all-resources: true"
• Prosody: "ignore_presence_priority = true"

Troubleshooting

Read troubleshooting if you are having problem.

Development

The plugin has a complete and minified version of the converse.js library with all its dependencies included. For development, you can pull converse.js as a git submodule and include the scripts and style sheets directly from there.

1. Load the converse.js and xmpp-prebind-php submodule:

   cd cd your_roundcube_dir/plugins/converse
   git submodule init && git submodule update
   

2. Set $rcmail_config['converse_xmpp_devel_mode'] = true; in this plugins config file.
