It has a cool microblog feature like onesocialweb similiar to the one I implemented on a comercial version of SparkWeb using XMPP pubsub. As much as I liked Jappix, I really could not use it. It was developed in PHP and required a second web server with too much fiddly configuration to make Openfire HTTP-BIND run the cross-domain gauntlet. Well that all changed when I discovered*Quercus: *Caucho Technology’s fast, open-source, 100% Java implementation of the PHP language.
It has enabled me to create an Openfire plugin for Jappix that works out-of-the box. No configuration required.
The main reason for my interest in Jappix was the minichat feature which is like the Facebook IM User Interface and is best for integration with other web applications. I have an immediate requirement to put IM into my Clearspace/Openfire setup and Jappix was just right for this.
I am posting this here for community members who might have a need for it. I do not plan on doing any development work on the Jappix PHP code, so if you spot a fault, head over to the Jappix project web site and report it. Please don’t email me.
How to install and use
Download the appropiate zip file for your Openfire server
Any plugin that uses the HTTP-BIND web service on default port 7070 has always required a restart of Openfire when installed for the first time. It could be an Openfire fault, but a hot install without a restart does not start the web service.
I see that Jappix Mini do not come at exact right bottom on IE7 & IE6 however it comes
fine with Firefox & Chrome. Chat is not fully visible on IE7 ( Windows XP ).
It appears to me on CSS formatting issue. However I tried some changes but it impacted the
Firefox formatting of Jappix mini.
I need to know how can I restrict the number of Jappix Mini sesssion per users. I mean based server load, I plan to control how many chat session a user can initiate. Please advice whether it can be done from Openfire or from Jappix mini configuration.
The purpose of this plugin is to use Jappix with Openfire pre-configured. That is why the Jappix admin is disabled. The settings are specific for Openfire BOSH and are hard-coded in two php files (read-main.php and read-hosts.php). The file store/conf/hosts.xml is ignored and is only present because I forgot to delete it. I will remove the offending files in the next release
To rebuild the Jappix plugin, create and run a script file in the plugin root folder that includes this
I have openfire 3.7.0 with jappix plugin. my problem is, in the option editor, the save button is dissabled. is this bug or i do something wrong in my config
One problem I have found is that search does not work. Is there a way of fixing that? I’ve enabled it in my OpenFire console, but Jappix says the feature is not available.
