Simple Example of Joining a Room?

Does anyone have a simple example of joining a room? assuming that I know the room name?

 

Also, are there any docs for the project? All I can find are the old AS2 docs, which appear to be out of date.

Re: Simple Example of Joining a Room?

I've been working with XIFF quite a bit lately, but here is an example:

 

 

xmpp = new XMPPSocketConnection();
room = new Room(xmpp);
xmpp.username = "username";
xmpp.password = "password";
xmpp.server   = "jabber.server.com";
xmpp.connect("standard");

 

 

Then after receiving the login event:

 

 

room.roomJID = new JID("someroom@conference.jabber.server.com");
room.join();

 

 

Then that will fire a RoomEvent.ROOM_JOIN on a successful connect.

Re: Simple Example of Joining a Room?

Thanks, that makes sense, but the build of the library I have (3.0.0-beta1) which is link from the site, shows the join api with the following signature:

 

public function join( createReserved:Boolean = false, joinPresenceExtensions:Array = null ):Boolean

 

i.e. it takes a Boolean and not a JID.

 

Any suggestions? Do I have an old build (this is the one linked from the XIFF page).

Re: Simple Example of Joining a Room? 

public function join( createReserved:Boolean = false, joinPresenceExtensions:Array = null ):Boolean

 

Notice the "= false" and "= null" ?

 

They are optional arguments. Just leave them blank.

Re: Simple Example of Joining a Room?

But if I leave them blank, how do I specify the JID?

 

your example was:

 

room.join(new JID("someroom@conference.jabber.server.com"));

 

But that doesnt compile in beta 3.

Re: Simple Example of Joining a Room?

Oh! I'm so sorry! I posted the wrong code... Here you go

 

 

room.roomJID = new JID("default@conference.jabber.citrusbyte.com");
room.join();

 

EDIT: I also edited my above post to fix this...

Re: Simple Example of Joining a Room?

Hi Mitchel,

I saw the advice that you gave to Mike Chambers and was hoping that  you'd be able to expand upon that a bit if you have a moment.  In  creating a chat room in the way that you outlined does indeed create a  room but all entries in the room are attributed to the JID...

For instance, if I create a chat room called  allchat@conference.jabber.org, log several users in, all of their input  shows up like:

allchat [14:33] : what up?
allchat [14:33] : not much just waiting for the dealeo to begin....
allchat [14:34] : but how do I add my username instead of this crap....


How do I go about having different users enter a room as themselves?  I.E. if I have a user named 'billybob' and a user named 'philisajerk'  how do I get the output to appear like:

philisajerk [14:33] : what up?
billybob[14:33] : not much just waiting for the dealeo to begin....
philisajerk[14:34] : but how do I add my username instead of this crap....

 

The code that I'm using to create the room after establishing a connection and logging in is as follows:

room= new Room(connection);
room.roomJID = new JID("allchat@conference.example.com");
room.addEventListener(RoomEvent.ROOM_JOIN, onRoomJoin);
room.join();

Any input would be appreciated because this is driving me bonkers....

Thanks,
Phil

Re: Simple Example of Joining a Room?

The message.type will detemine if the message is for a room or for a private chat.

Use this with Message.GROUPCHAT_TYPE to see whether a message is for a room.

Then according to that information you can get the nickname from the JID.

 

            var user:String = from.node;
            if (message.type == Message.GROUPCHAT_TYPE) {
             &n bsp;   user = from.resource;
            }

 

The situation is also explained here:

Re: Simple Example of Joining a Room?

Thank you very much! I actually wound up writing a parser last night to get the proper name to show but this is exactly what I was looking for and will switch to it....

 

XIFF seems like a great project - just wish that it had more documentation...

 

BTW: Your examples have been VERY helpful - thank you for providing them.

 

Thank you,

Phil
