Sample application is not working. (General questions)

What setting will one has to do for running the sample application in C# ? (1) Simple (2) IM and (3) Active X GUI is not running i.e. not connecting to server where I am giving my yahoo/gmail id and password.
What exactly these demos do?

Will I have to create a Jabber ID to run this sample program? Won't Yahoo and Gmail Id straightaway enter work me to run the sample program?

hello error is solved after I create jabber Id using exodus jabber client. But is not there any example that lets us login our yahoo Messenger, Gtalk etc..?

Hi,

WodXMPP by default uses Jabber server. If you want to use Gtalk you should try something like this:
[code]wodXMPP1.Login = some@gmail.com ;
wodXMPP1.Password = your_password ;
wodXMPP1.Security = WODXMPPCOMLib.SecurityEnum.SecurityImplicit;
wodXMPP1.Port = 443;
wodXMPP1.Connect( talk.google.com );[/code]
Let us know how it goes.

yes It worked Thanks. Can I know what messengers do you support? I need the complete list of messenger with their host name so that I can use
them.

Hi,

wodXMPP supports (if your server provides it) connecting to other instant messaging protocols - such as ICQ, MSN, AIM, Yahoo, GTalk etc..

You need to Discover services supported on the server, and register yourself with one (or more of them).

After that, talking with your buddies on those networks is just the same for you as they are using wodXMPP too.

You can find which services is supported by your server in 2. IM sample under Available Services combo box.

If you wish you can use our Jabber server wippien.com

Just register using some nickname. Something like this: yournickname@wippien.com

Thanks for the information but see this code of yours please.
wodXMPP1.Connect( talk.google.com ); So it will allow me to open my google id what can be the same version of this code for Yahoo ,MSN ,AIM , ICQ Etc?? Thanks

Hi,

On that way you can use only Jabber or GTalk account.

Other instant messaging protocols can be used only if they are supported by the server you are connecting.

Drazen

hello , it is bit confusing. First of all what services will my server need to support if I want to use those messengers? Second If it is not supporting what should I do so that I can login to my Yahoo Id same as I am able to do with gtalk. Any Source code would be appreciated for this because somehow its confusing for me. Thanks

Hi,

Your server should support service that you want to use. If you want to use ICQ,Yahoo,MSN then you server should support ICQ,MSN and Yahoo service.

You can't connect directly to Yahoo, you can connect only through Jabber server.

Did you try to connect to our Jabber server: wippien.com?

Maybe you should to see how this works.

When you are connected list with services will be populated. You can then choice which service you want to use and authentication with that service.

When you are authenticate successfully with your service, you can then chat with your contacts from that service.

Okay So far so Good. I connected to wippien.com and created a user id and then I am able to connect to different messengers like msn. But what is the service name for Yahoo? I did not see any service name for yahoo in application sample 2. IM? and Is not there any other way for connecting to these messengers ?

Hi,

It seems that Yahoo gateway is offline. I'll have to check why this occured on the server side.

We will let you know as soon as I know more on this.

Hi,

The Yahoo transport service stopped in server for some reason. I would suggest that you try some other server which supports Yahoo. Most of Yabber servers support it.

Is there any way where I do not have to depend on Such services and still can able to access messengers like google talk? if not please tell other services name like wippien.com which works in a stable way. Thank you.

Hi,

Unfortunately, no. This is strictly server-dependant. Server has to have some ind of plugin to interact between, in this case, yahoo server and XMPP client.

Please check the following link for server list:

http://www.jabberes.org/servers/servers_by_yahoo.html

Hope this helps.

Damba

The webpage http://www.jabberes.org/servers/servers_by_yahoo.html
is somehow not getting opened. Can you please manually copy paste the list of servers here?? Thank you.

One More thing to observe is that If someone sends me a message when I am not online I would not see those messages when I come online the next time. Is it that wodXMPP SDK Does not support this??

Hi,

For some reason web page we send you doesn't work today. It works yesterday and probably it will start to work after some time.

Please try this server:
http://www.jabber.org/web/Jabber.hot-chilli.net

About receiving messages when you are offline and come back online. This is server side feature. Message is send and server will send it to user if it's capable.

Drazen

Thank you for the new link but please tell how do I use it to achieve the same result as with wippien.com and regarding getting message when coming online , how do we implement this server side feature with wodXMPP SDK?

Hi,

As I mention this is server side implementation. You don't need to do anything on client side. If server support such feature when you are connected again to server you will receive message directly.

Drazen

okay Thats Right. but how do we use hot chilli.net thing? any code for xmpp SDK would be appreciated Thanks.

Hi,

Please start 2. IM sample.

Insert for JID something like this:

yourNickName@jabber.hot-chilli.net

some password and check checkbox Register as new user

It works for me. Can you try that?

You should then use yahoo.jabber.hot-chilli.net service for yahoo account.

Drazen

Hello Thanks I got your Idea of how to do that but it does not work for me rightnow.
I am using following code to connect to this server
wodXMPP1.Connect( jabber.hot-chilli.net );
Is this correct? Please Tell. Thank you.

Hi,

You don't need to put any argument in Connect Method. Please use our original sample (reinstall wodXMPP)

Add this fields:
-------------------------------------
JID: someone@jabber.hot-chilli.net
Password:somepassword
Check: Register as new user
-------------------------------------

(at)=@
(point)=.

Drazen

Thank you Thats done. But one question is that can we rely on such servers? i.e. what if tomorrow the hot-chilli.net server stops working due to some reasons like wippien.com did? i.e. can we have assurance that server will not get down or is there any stable solution?

Hi,

There's no telling. But on the other hand, they mostly provide free service. Or, you can always run your own Jabber/XMPP server.

You can find most servers on the following link:

http://xmpp.org/software/servers.shtml

Hope this helps.
