Fw: [JDEV] using roommaker

Wed Nov 20 08:38:46 CST 2002

Hi David

Thanks for your replies. roommaker is now running and creating rooms as
it should!

A few of questions:

1) In Exodus (Win32) I can only see options to enter a conference, which
creates the room. I can't see any options to determine whether its
persistent, or even the rooms name (only its JID) or other properties.
How do I do this?

2) Is there a way to edit or delete rooms in roommaker, or is that
better to do through Exodus (assuming there is a way to do that - see
above).

3) Is there a way to suppress this message: "this room supports the MUC
protocol."  Though it is informative, in this particular case it will
confuse our users!

Thanks,

Rob

Ok, when you have the dynamic tag set, the persistent option is removed
from the room configuration form (unless you are a sadmin and using the
latest cvs version)

This means that normal users can only make temporary rooms, which
disappear after 5 minutes of being empty. Rooms set persistent by a
sadmin, or rooms made via roommaker, will still be persistent.
