When you use the announce/motd/update (update the motd and don't send)
feature, should it display the current value of the motd for the
muc_admin user to modify?
Anyway, the behavior that I'm seeing is that the server does not send back the current value of the MOTD. So, I just want to know if this is the expected behavior, or if I have something misconfigured.
For what it's worth, I think that ejabberd should return the MOTD value so that clients can allow administrators to modify it. I received feedback from a domain administrator who assumed that it should work this way, and I agree that it does seem more intuitive.
According to XEP-0133 (
Confirmed.
Confirmed: ejabberd doesn't display the current value.
I agree that it would be nice if the current value is shown. Feature request tracked here:When editing MOTD, display current value
Good news: fixed
Good news: it is now fixed in SVN, and will be included in ejabberd 2.0.0-beta1, once it's released.
