Plugin Jabber
Use this wiki plugin to chat using Jabber. The plugin runs a Java applet that connects to a local (same machine as the webserver running Tiki) Jabber service, which is a open protocol for chat, using the Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP), which is an open, XML-based protocol for near-real-time, extensible instant messaging (IM) and presence information (a.k.a. buddy lists).
Requirements
- A Jabber server on your web host (same PC)
- JAVA enabled browsers
You can only use this plugin to connect to a jabber server that is running on the same server as the http server for tiki. This is a constraint of the applet for security reasons.
Installation
To make this plugin work:
- get the JabberApplet from here: http://jabberapplet.sf.net

- put it in a directory called jabber under $TIKI_BASE/lib, the path must resolve to: lib/jabber/JabberApplet.jar

- substitute the name of your local jabber server for 'jabber.org' in the example above and put it into a wiki page.
