Converse has a `CDN <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content_delivery_network>`_, provided by `KeyCDN <http://keycdn.com/>`_,
|
2017-09-03 22:12:17 +02:00
|
|
|
which hosts its JavaScript and CSS files.
|
2014-12-07 00:53:17 +01:00
|
|
|
|
2016-06-21 09:07:22 +02:00
|
|
|
The latest versions of these files are available at these URLs:
|
2014-12-07 00:53:17 +01:00
|
|
|
|
2016-06-21 09:07:22 +02:00

|
|
|
|
2018-09-18 10:53:43 +02:00
|
|
|
It's however recommended that you load a specific version of Converse, to avoid
|
|
|
|
|
breakage when a new version is released and the above URLs load new resources.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To load a specific version of Converse you can put the version in the URL, like so:
|
2016-06-21 09:07:22 +02:00
|
|
|
|
2018-10-22 11:41:40 +02:00
|
|
|
* https://cdn.conversejs.org/4.0.3/dist/converse.min.js
|
|
|
|
|
* https://cdn.conversejs.org/4.0.3/css/converse.min.css
|

|
|
|
|
2017-04-18 19:24:49 +02:00
|
|
|
You can include these two URLs inside the *<head>* element of your website
|
|
|
|
|
via the *script* and *link* tags:
|
2016-06-21 09:07:22 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: html
|
2014-12-07 00:53:17 +01:00
|
|
|
|
2016-06-21 09:07:22 +02:00
|
|
|
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" href="https://cdn.conversejs.org/css/converse.min.css">
|
2018-03-31 01:48:53 +02:00
|
|
|
<script src="https://cdn.conversejs.org/dist/converse.min.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
|
2016-02-28 10:00:22 +01:00
|
|
|
|
2017-10-30 10:25:30 +01:00
|
|
|
|
2018-09-18 10:53:43 +02:00
|
|
|
.. note:: Instead of always loading the latest version of Converse via the
|
2017-04-18 19:24:49 +02:00
|
|
|
CDN, it's generally better to load a specific version (preferably the
|
|
|
|
|
latest one), to avoid breakage when new backwards-incompatible versions are
|
|
|
|
|
released.
|
|
|

Initializing Converse
|
|
|
|
|
---------------------
|
2014-12-07 00:53:17 +01:00
|
|
|
|
2018-09-18 10:53:43 +02:00
|
|
|
You'll then need to initialize Converse with configuration settings relevant to your requirements.
|
2017-07-05 11:03:13 +02:00
|
|
|
Refer to the :ref:`configuration-settings` section for info on all the available configuration settings.
|
2014-12-07 00:53:17 +01:00
|
|
|
|
2017-09-03 22:12:17 +02:00
|
|
|
To quickly get started, you can put the following JavaScript code at the
|
2017-04-18 19:24:49 +02:00
|
|
|
bottom of your page (after the closing *</body>* element)::
|
2014-12-07 00:53:17 +01:00
|
|
|
|
2015-06-22 14:47:53 +02:00
|
|
|
<script>
|
2014-12-07 00:53:17 +01:00
|
|
|
converse.initialize({
|
2017-11-17 19:20:42 +01:00
|
|
|
bosh_service_url: 'https://conversejs.org/http-bind/', // Please use this connection manager only for testing purposes
|
2017-03-07 07:56:43 +01:00
|
|
|
show_controlbox_by_default: true
|
2014-12-07 00:53:17 +01:00
|
|
|
});
|
2015-06-22 14:47:53 +02:00
|
|
|
</script>
|
2014-12-07 00:53:17 +01:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The `index.html <https://github.com/jcbrand/converse.js/blob/master/index.html>`_ file inside the
|
2018-09-18 10:53:43 +02:00
|
|
|
Converse repository may serve as a nice usable example.
|
2018-01-09 15:49:45 +01:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fullscreen version
|
|
|
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
2018-09-18 10:53:43 +02:00
|
|
|
Converse also comes in a fullscreen version.
|
|
|
|
|
A hosted version is available online at `conversejs.org/fullscreen <https://conversejs.org/fullscreen.html>`_.
|
2018-01-09 15:49:45 +01:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Originally this version was available as a separate build file, but
|
|
|
|
|
as of version 4.0.0 and higher, the difference between the "overlay" and the
|
|
|
|
|
"fullscreen" versions of converse.js is simply a matter of configuring the
|
2018-05-24 14:37:52 +02:00
|
|
|
:ref:`view_mode`.
|
2018-01-09 15:49:45 +01:00
|
|
|
|
2018-09-18 10:53:43 +02:00
|
|
|
For example::
|
2016-12-22 14:00:03 +01:00
|
|
|
|
2018-09-18 10:53:43 +02:00
|
|
|
<script>
|
|
|
|
|
converse.initialize({
|
|
|
|
|
bosh_service_url: 'https://conversejs.org/http-bind/', // Please use this connection manager only for testing purposes
|
|
|
|
|
view_mode: 'fullscreen'
|
|
|
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
|
</script>

Where to go from here?
|
|
|
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You might want to implement some kind of persistent single-session solution for
|
|
|
|
|
your website, where users authenticate once in your website and are then
|
|
|
|
|
automatically logged in to the XMPP server as well. For more info on how this
|
|
|
|
|
can be achieved, read: :ref:`session-support`.

Perhaps you want to create your own custom build of Converse? Then head over
|
2016-12-22 14:00:03 +01:00
|
|
|
to the :doc:`builds` section, or more generally the :doc:`development`
|
|
|
|
|
documentation.
