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).

• 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.

To make this plugin work:

1. get the JabberApplet from here: http://jabberapplet.sf.net
   • Direct link: http://jabberapplet.sourceforge.net/JabberApplet.jar (2002-11-15)
2. put it in a directory called jabber under $TIKI_BASE/lib, the path must resolve to: lib/jabber/JabberApplet.jar
3. make sure your local jabber server is started and you know it's name
4. substitute the name of your local jabber server for 'jabber.org' in the example above and put it into a wiki page.
