Module Description

Inbox is an experimental feature implemented as a few seperate modules. To use it, enable mod_inbox in the config file.

Options

  • backend (atom, default: odbc) - Database backend to use. For now, only odbc is supported.
  • reset_markers (list, default: [displayed]) - List of atom chat markers that when sent, will reset the unread message counter for a conversation. This works when Chat Markers are enabled on the client side. Possible values are from the set: displayed, received, acknowledged. Setting as empty list (not recommended) means that no chat marker can decrease the counter value.
  • groupchat (list, default: [muclight]) - The list indicating which groupchats will be included in inbox. Possible value is muclight Multi-User Chat Light. Soon the classic Multi-User Chat will be supported.
  • aff_changes (boolean, default: true) - use this option when muclight is enabled. Indicates if MUC Light affiliation change messages should be included in the conversation inbox. Only changes that affect the user directly will be stored in their inbox.
  • remove_on_kicked (boolean, default: true) - use this option when muclight is enabled. If true, the inbox conversation is removed for a user when they are removed from the groupchat.
  • iqdisc (atom, default: no_queue)
