< p > < strong > Converse.js< / strong > is an open source, web based, < a href = "http://xmpp.org" target = "_blank" > XMPP/Jabber< / a > chat client, similar to
2013-05-17 12:48:32 +02:00
< a href = "https://www.facebook.com/sitetour/chat.php" target = "_blank" > Facebook chat< / a > , but with added support for multi-user chatrooms.< / p >
2013-04-25 00:23:59 +02:00
< p > It is a Javascript application that you can include in your
website, thereby providing it with instant messaging functionality.< / p >
2013-05-17 12:48:32 +02:00
< p > You will also need access to an XMPP/Jabber server. You can connect to any public, federated XMPP server, or you can set one up
yourself, thereby maintaining stricter privacy controls.< / p >
< p > It's possible to enable single-site login, whereby users already
authenticated in your website will also automatically be logged in on the chat server, but this will require custom code on your server.< / p >
< p > An < a href = "http://github.com/collective/collective.xmpp.chat" target = "_blank" > add-on product< / a > that does exactly this,
already exists for the < a href = "http://plone.org" target = "_blank" > Plone< / a > CMS. Hopefully in the future more such add-ons will
be created for other platforms.
< / p >
< p > If you have integrated Converse.js into any other CMS or framework,
< a href = "http://opkode.com/contact" target = "_blank" > please let me know< / a > and I'll mention it on this page.< / p >

< / p >
< p > < b > Note:< / b > currently the demo doesn't work in Internet Explorer older
than 10. This is due to lacking support for < a href = "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-origin_resource_sharing" > CORS< / a > ,
a standard which enables cross-domain XmlHttpRequests. There are ways
around this, but it hasn't been a priority for me to implement them for
this demo.

See < a href = "/docs/html/index.html#overcoming-cross-domain-request-restrictions" target = "_blank" > here< / a > for more information.

2013-04-25 01:05:34 +02:00
< h3 > Is it secure?< / h3 >
< p > Yes. In this demo < strong > Converse.js< / strong > makes an
< a href = "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Sockets_Layer" target = "_blank" > SSL< / a > encrypted connection to a secure connection manager.
The connection manager then uses SSL and < a href = "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_Layer_Security" > TLS< / a > to connect to an XMPP server.< / p >
That said, the developers don't assume any liability for any loss or damages as a result of using this software or demo. Use this demo at your own risk.
< h3 > Session support< / h3 >
2013-04-25 00:23:59 +02:00
< p >
The chat client will disconnect whenever you reload the page. If you
want the user's session to persist across page reloads, you can
establish an authenticated connection on the server side and then attach to
this connection in your browser.
< / p >
2013-04-26 14:33:08 +02:00
< p > < strong > Converse.js< / strong > already supports this usecase, but you'll have to do more manual work yourself.< / p >
