[JDEV] VB jabber client

[Sebastiaan Deckers]

Wow.  Can't a guy take two weeks off for some traveling? ;-)

Take a look at the file: ./settings/servers.xml
That will let you change the default server.

As mentioned before, you need to block connections at the firewall. 
Changing the default server address simply makes "legitimate" use 
easier, but it does not prevent any misuse.

Some small changes to this file might help: ./src/profile_add.html
Should be trivial to make RhymBox skip a few screens in that wizard and 
force to go with the default server.

Then just package the modified files and the original installer in your 
own self extracting ZIP or something.  If you run the standard RhymBox 
installer with the parameter "/silent" then it will extract to the 
default path.  Make sure you extract the modified files after you run 
the standard RhymBox setup.

That should get you started. :-)

As for the C++ source code, you should not need any of that just to 
tweak  RhymBox.  That's the beauty of HTML and JScript.

Email me if you need more help.  Or you can reach me on Jabber/XMPP 
(address listed on rhymbox.com website).

I hope this helps.

Regards,
Sebastiaan
