I have been struggling to configure a group chat using conversejs and ejabberd. From the documentation I've stumbled across, it seems like it is possible to have a persistent group chat that users can be subscribed to, which will allow them to receive messages from the group chat while not present in the group chat.
For example: I would like to be able to simply close the group chat on my conversejs client, but still get notifications from that group chat.
This is a fresh ejabberd 21.04 and conversejs 7.0.6 install (using websockets).
What I tried to do was create a room through the conversejs client, and then add a subscription through the ejabberd cli:
ejabberdctl subscribe_room user@my.example.com/muc user test_room@conference.my.example.com urn:xmpp:mucsub:nodes:messages
One of the things I'm most confused by is the field in the configuration panel of a group chat that is titled "XMPP URI of Associated Publish-Subscribe Node." I have no clue how to format this, but have found a few clues online... What I have tried is a number of different configurations of something like:
xmpp:my.example.com?;node=messages
but I'm really just grasping at straws here.
If anyone can help me figure out what I'm doing wrong with this URI, or can show me a working example of this, that would be amazing. If what I'm trying to do simply isn't possible with XMPP, please let me know as well.
Thanks!
