How to adda new module to MongooseIm chat server written over ejabberd

Question

I am trying to add the mod_zeropush module to the existing ejabberd MongooseIm server.

I copied the beam file to location where all beam files are there in the rel folder.

When do the $sudo bin/mongooseimctl debug command and finding the mod_ all entries matching with mod_... I see all except my mod_zeropush.

Can anyone help me how they made this module add to their chat server.

Raised this issue to Github guys as well : MongooseIM GitHub

I achieved this by getting some help and would like share how its added to MongooseIM.

This setup is done on a server running Ubuntu 16.04.

After you downloaded mod_zeropush.erl (maybe from here), put it in the location as mentioned below:
```
`<GitSourceMongooseFolder>/apps/ejabberd/src/mod_zeropush.erl`
```
Run sudo make in MongooseIM directory.
After the build is done, the beam file is created in the rel folder at location given below:

/MongooseIM/rel/mongooseim/lib/ejabberd-2.1.8+mim-2.0.0beta2-312-g3cec442/ebin

Add the following code to ejabberd.cfg in modules section.

 {mod_zeropush, [
    {sound, "default"},
    {auth_token, "myapp-chat-token"},
    {post_url, "http://my.url/mypath"}
  ]},

Go to rel/mongooseim folder and enter the command sudo bin/mongooseimctl debug
Check by entering mod_ on shell prompt then Tab; you should see mod_zero
Go to root/rel github directory and sudo bin/mongooseim restart

Done. You should receive offline messages on your web server.
