Seems a bug. Try a simple workaround

The problem is in the ejabberdctl file included in the binary installers. As it must be cross-platform, it doesn't use the same tools and the source code package.

I've submitted a ticket, including a quick and dirty solution that you can apply: Support for space in ejabberdctl of binary installers

set_vcard white spaces

Hi,

It seems it doesn't work (anymore?) with running ejabberd-2.1.3 (installed with .bin) and the svn check out of mod_admin_extra.
I tried :

ejabberdctl set_vcard test 192.168.0.70 FN "Bla bla"
ejabberdctl set_vcard test 192.168.0.70 FN \"Bla bla\"
ejabberdctl set_vcard test 192.168.0.70 FN "Bla\ bla"
ejabberdctl set_vcard test 192.168.0.70 FN \"Bla\ bla\"

(on a Scientific Linux 5.3 (same as Red Hat Entreprise Linux 5.3, and surely CentOS...))

I did something wrong? (I don't know Erlang at all...)

Thank you in advance

Try mod_admin_extra

I noticed that mod_ctlextra can't work with ejabberd 2.1.0 or newer. I've updated the module documentation. Use mod_admin_extra instead.

Regarding the module start, this works for me:

$ ejabberdctl start

$ ejabberdctl debug
...
(ejabberd@galleta)1> mod_admin_extra:start("example.com", []).
ok

works not in ejabberd 2.1.2 with remsh

I have the problem, that I can't start the module from erlang shell.

I'm running a FreeBSD 7.2 Stable with ejabberd 2.1.2

2.1.0-rc1

chill — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 08:26:44 +0000

oo.. i see.. thanks ;)

Possible in the new ejabberd 2.0.1-rc1 + mod_admin_extra

mfoss — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 19:22:25 +0000

I think not possible in ejabberd 2.0.5 + mod_ctlextra.

Good news are: it is possible using ejabberd 2.1.0-rc1 + mod_admin_extra. See:

$ ejabberdctl get_vcard badlop localhost NICKNAME
Nickname1

$ ejabberdctl set_vcard badlop localhost NICKNAME \"My second Nickname 2\"

$ ejabberdctl get_vcard badlop localhost NICKNAME
My second Nickname 2

the white-spaces?

chill — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 15:23:44 +0000

how can i make whitespaces in NICKNAME for example:

...vcard-set user1 server1 NICKNAME first second?

Thanks

Thanks for the quick response. This feature allows us to do some very nice things with shared rosters based on ldap.

Newlines in ejabberdctl arguments: supported in trunk SVN

mfoss — Fri, 06 Mar 2009 12:34:00 +0000

It seems ejabberdctl of ejabberd 2.0.x + mod_ctlextra does not support anyway to represent newlines inside arguments.

The good news is that ejabberdctl in ejabberd trunk SVN + mod_admin_extra supports it:

$ ejabberdctl help srg_create

  Command Name: srg_create

  Arguments: group::string
             host::string
             name::string
             description::string
             display::string

  Returns: res::rescode

  Tags: shared_roster_group

  Description: Create a Shared Roster Group

If you want to specify several group identifiers in the Display argument,
put \ " around the argument and
separate the identifiers with \ \ n
For example:
 ejabberdctl srg_create group3 localhost name desc \"group1\\ngroup2\"


$ ejabberdctl srg_create everybody example.com \"Everybody\" \"Consists of
both faculty and students\" \"faculty\\nstudents\"

$ ejabberdctl srg_get_info everybody example.com
name    "Everybody"
displayed_groups        ["faculty","students"]
description     "Consists of both faculty and students"

You can get and compile ejabberd trunk SVN, or wait for ejabberd 2.1.0, but the release doesn't have fixed date (it may be weeks or a few months).

Yes you are right. That hack

amaramrahul — Fri, 06 Mar 2009 09:43:59 +0000

Yes you are right. That hack is not working. I actually saw the displayed groups list through the webadmin interface and as they were displayed in separate lines, I thought that they were added properly. But they are not.

Doesn't work.

ian — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 19:00:10 +0000

I tried the above. When I 'ejabberdctl srg-get-info everybody X' I see:

displayed_groups: ["faculty\nstudents"]

instead of:

displayed_groups: ["faculty", "students"]

Assuming that faculty and

amaramrahul — Sat, 20 Dec 2008 14:20:34 +0000

Assuming that "faculty" and "students" are two existing groups and you want to create a new group "everybody" having both these groups as display groups, this is what you can do:

ejabberdctl srg-create everybody example.com "Everybody" "Consists of both faculty and students" "`echo -e 'faculty\nstudents'`"

branch Ok

Mataemon — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 16:23:59 +0000

Great! the branch works fine.

Thank you for your reactivity!

Try 1.1.x branch of the module

mfoss — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 15:59:19 +0000

Yes, recently trunk/mod_ctlextra was updated to be compatible with ejabberd 2.0.0, and it broke compatibility with old ejabberd 1.1.x.

I've created a branch of the module, try it: ejabberd-modules/mod_ctlextra/branches/ejabberd-1.1.x

status-list command

Mataemon — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 13:51:57 +0000

Hi,

I used the status-list command of revision 36 or 364, and it worked fine.
But with the latest revision it doesn't :

=ERROR REPORT==== 2-Jun-2008::15:27:23 ===

I don't know erlang enough to try to debug.
