mod_roster

Module Description

The module implements roster support, specified in RFC 6121. Includes support for XEP-0237: Roster Versioning. It can sometimes become quite a heavyweight feature, so there is an option to disable it.

Options

modules.mod_roster.iqdisc.type

  • Syntax: string, one of "one_queue", "no_queue", "queues", "parallel"
  • Default: "one_queue"

Strategy to handle incoming stanzas. For details, please refer to IQ processing policies.

modules.mod_roster.versioning

  • Syntax: boolean
  • Default: false
  • Example: versioning = true

Turn on/off support for Roster Versioning.

modules.mod_roster.store_current_id

  • Syntax: boolean
  • Default: false
  • Example: store_current_id = true

Stores the last roster hash in DB (used in Roster Versioning). Improves performance but should be disabled, when shared rosters are used.

modules.mod_roster.backend

  • Syntax: string, one of "mnesia", "rdbms"
  • Default: "mnesia"
  • Example: backend = "mnesia"
