Title: XMPP address profile field in standard smf distr
Post by: vastagan on February 09, 2008, 02:42:59 AM
Hello,
I notice that standard profile have only 4 fields for IM networks.
ICQ
This is your ICQ number.

AIM
This is your AOL Instant Messenger nickname.

MSN
Your MSN messenger email address

YIM
This is your Yahoo! Instant Messenger nickname.


Please add XMPP field.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xmpp

XMPP is used in many different IM systems as core protocol, for example Jabber, Livejournal, GoogleTalk, GizmoProject as production and even AIM/ICQ as new generation protocol (in testing stage for now).

If you really want that, then try the Custom Profile Fields mod http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=319
(Note in future the Custom Profile Fields will be in SMF 2.0 by default).

I hadn't heard of XMPP, and there hasn't been many (if any requests) for it bar yours.
Hence why its usually more appropriate (at least initially) for it to be a mod.

I use custom profile fields for XMPP, but as XMPP pretending to be major IM system in next 1-2 years, I think this field must be in main table.

I agree that this would be a good addition to core although perhaps call it Jabber / Google Talk as not many people would know XMPP

I've actually added both a Jabber field to my forums, and the ability to receive notifications by jabber (in addition to email).

However, I have NO idea how to package it up and make a mod of it.  I'd be more than willing to send my modified files to someone who's able to do that.  I used an existing mod to add the Jabber field, and modified the nofitication functions to call a PERL script which sends message through Jabber.

The only problem with it is that I don't know how to add settings for the account sending the message, they had to be hard coded in the perl script.

AOL adopting XMPP aka Jabber:
http://florianjensen.com/2008/01/17/aol-adopting-xmpp-aka-jabber/

XMPP/Jabber/Gtalk can concurrent with ICQ! :)

Currently it very wide used in open source communities. Look at the signatures in public mailing lists about debian, ubuntu and so one.

Update:  QIP.ru - very popular ICQ client opens own jabber server.

Hello? http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=773 & http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=780

Search is your friend.

Although I would be very much interested in receiving notifications by XMMP or any other IM system. That would be an interesting mod, if it could be expanded to do so.
