'''Jabber Group Chat, also called MUC (multi user chat) is the Jabber equivalent of IRC channels.'''‎

Edit

{{Warning|1=Some of this information is old and may be obsolete. If you are a user of Kopete please either directly edit this page or add notes on the attached Discussion page}}‎

Edit

The '''Kopete''' support of MUC is only partial, this is because our backend XMPP library ('''iris''') only supports the old ''GroupChat'' protocol. Anyway, '''Kopete''' is still pretty good and some good improvements have been made in the version 0.12‎

Edit

This page will describe some hidden '''Kopete''' features.‎

Edit

MUC is really a good alternative to IRC. It supports almost everything that IRC supports and even more.‎

Edit

==Join a groupchat==‎

Edit

First things first, '''Kopete''' users sometimes ask how the join a groupchat. This is the <menuchoice>join groupchat</menuchoice> action in the '''jabber''' menu. There, a dialog asks you for the room and the server and your nick. Imagine you want to join kde@conference.kdetalk.net. "kde" is the room and "conference.kdetalk.net" is the server.‎

Edit

==Style==‎

Edit

Using the default style for groupchats is a bit annoying due to the space waste. Fortunately, some styles render groupchats well.‎

Edit

For Kopete 0.12 I would recommend these styles: * The '''Gaim''' style with the ''Contact Color'' variant. * The '''Kone''' style with the ''Contact Color No Icon Compact'' variant (available on [http://kde-look.org/ kde-look])‎

Edit

==Invitation==‎

Edit

Did you know that from '''Kopete''' v.0.12, it is possible to invite a contact to a MUC ? Simply drag and drop the contact in the MUC chat window.‎

Edit

==Bookmarks==‎

Edit

'''Kopete''' uses [http://www.jabber.org/jeps/jep-0048.html JEP-0048] for showing the chat bookmark menu. There is no '''Kopete''' interface to remove or edit bookmarks. Each chat you join is automatically added to your bookmarks.‎

Edit

You could anyway use the <menuchoice>send RAW XML</menuchoice> dialog (in the jabber account menu) to edit the bookmark in XML on the server, as explained in [http://www.jabber.org/jeps/jep-0048.html JEP-0048] and [http://www.jabber.org/jeps/jep-0049.html JEP-0049]‎

Edit

Example, to erase your bookmarks, enter‎

Edit

<syntaxhighlight lang="xml"> <query xmlns='jabber:iq:private'> <storage xmlns='storage:bookmarks'> </query> </syntaxhighlight>‎

Edit

Then disconnect and reconnect in order the changes take effect.‎

Edit

==Auto-JOIN==‎

Edit

'''Kopete''' does also support auto-joining groupchat when connecting. This still follow the bookmark specification of JEP-0048.‎

Edit

Example, if you want to automatically join kde@conference.kdetalk.net when starting '''Kopete''', you can send the following‎

Edit

<syntaxhighlight lang="xml"> <query xmlns='jabber:iq:private'> <storage xmlns='storage:bookmarks'> <conference name='Kde channel'> autojoin='true' jid='kde@conference.kdetalk.net'> <nick>Puck</nick> </conference> </storage> </query> </syntaxhighlight>‎

Edit

==XML==‎

Edit

More generally, most of ''moderation'' and ''admin features'' are available with the XML console, although you need to have compiled kde with debug in order to see the result in the debug output. Run '''kdebugdialog''' and make sure <menuchoice>jabber raw (14131)</menuchoice> is checked.‎

Edit

All the MUC protocol is described in [http://www.jabber.org/jeps/jep-0045.html JEP-0045]‎

Edit

==Notifications==‎

Edit

By default, messages in a group chat are notified with the "not important message" notification. If someone types your nick in the channel, the message will be highlighted, and the "highlight" notification will be emitted.‎

Edit

The <menuchoice>Highlight</menuchoice> plugin has great value in group chat. Go into the <menuchoice>configure plugins</menuchoice> menu, and enable <menuchoice>highlight</menuchoice>. You can add filters to match some word or regular expression in a chat and you can change the notification level of such messages.‎

Edit

Thus, you can stay idle in a groupchat and be notified when someone talks about a subject you are interested in.‎
