Hi all,
I've just created an ejabberd module that grabs groups defined in LDAP and generates and populates shared roster groups in ejabberd. Its part a client's ID management project. Is there interest in having this module as open source?
Also, I wan't to add a feature to automatically create chat rooms based on certain attributes of groups in LDAP .. does anyoine have any example code of how to use mod_muc to create rooms .. the code doco is a bit sparse.
Cheers
Sam Stainsby.

Yes, why not? The more code, the better ;-)

I think you need to start with reading the .
Re: creating groups and chats from LDAP
I'm no so concerned with adding each room as a 'bookmark' (yet - but this will be useful later). Just creating the rooms for a start would be good.
I discovered this morning
I discovered this morning that if you delete a shared roster group (SRG) through mod_shared_roster:delete_group and then create a new one with the same name using mod_shared_roster:create_group, withoud adding any group members, the new group has all of the members of the old deleted one. Is this a bug or a feature?
This has me confused for a while, util I worked out what was going on. The workaround was to remove all users from the SRG before deleting it, so it now all works fine.
Fixed in SVN r583

I consider it a bug. It was fixed in ejabberd SVN r583 (2006-07-05) ().
automagically creating groups
I'm also interested in this. I haven't looked into how to do it. I was thinking of using perl with Net::XMPP with administrative credentials to create/destroy the rooms. Is that a wise way of doing this type of procedure?
Looks ok

I think it's correct: you write a small program that logins to a Jabber account, performs some admin task, and logouts. This program will work with any MUC service.
Another solution would be to add some admin features to mod_muc. I started a contributed module for this, called mod_muc_admin, but I didn't have much time to implement features yet. Ideally, it could provide several interfaces to create/destroy rooms: webadmin page, ejabberdctl commands and ad-hoc commands.
I am very interested! is your
I am very interested! is your module available for public use?
