AW: [JDEV] groupchat <presence/> behaviour??

[Heiner Wolf]

Hi,

the <presence/> sub tags are very cool, since they allow me to make the
user's state automatically available to new participants. And since I
have a lot of state, it is important that all is served by one presence
message. Currently I have to send 2 in order to get the stat over with
the second one. 

The state a user has and which is sent to new participants includes: 
- digest of avatar
- avatar position
- presence status detail (of course) 
- user role

Question: would you to use <x xmlns.../> sub tags in addition to <show/>
and <status/> for the extra information. 

Actually I am writing a client, which uses groupchat extensively. If you
are interested: http://jabber.bluehands.de/

Nothing else yet. 

Regards,

Hi there,

  Its because your original presence is discarded, and a generic
  available presence is stored in your user information instead. I'm
  currently changing this in the new groupchat being coded, based on
  the work in JEP-0045.

  Have you/anyone noticed any other strange behaviour with the
  conference component?

Regards,

  David
