[JDEV] conference room creation

[Rob Davis :: Solaris Media]

Hi David

Thanks for your reply.

MUC sounds like the perfect solution.

Actually, I am wanting the client to automatically create new rooms when
the existing rooms get too busy. If the rooms are then deleted when they
empty that's great - saves me having to make code to close the rooms
automatically when it gets less busy!

Is there a way to adjust the 5m room timeout?

Also does MUC work with the "heartbeat" patch. What we don't want is
people who are disconnected (but haven't been detected as so by Jabber)
holding rooms open unnecessarily.

Cheers,

Rob

Hi there,

  With the existing conference (0.4 or v2) you can't avoid entering the
  room.

  With MU-Conference, you can. Its a new conference system I released
  today, based on JEP-0045 (http://www.jabber.org/jeps/jep-0045.html)
  If you send a room configuration request to a room that doesn't exist,
  the room is created and the configuration form is returned to you. The
  problem is that normal rooms get deleted after ~5 minutes of being
  empty, so you'll want to enable the 'persistent' option. This will
  mean the room exists, even if the server is restarted. The room
  creator can then just destroy the room when they've finished with it.

Regards,

  David
