jabber online status
besides being so simple still powerful, the main reason for me to try yacs today is xmpp's integration...
The members list launches my jabber client whenever i click on the jabber icon next to a member, unfortunately it does not indicate if this member is logged on jabber...
A few tools exist - drupal uses edgar - to indicate the online status of jabber users...
Do you plan implementing this in yacs or am i the only one interested?

Jabber seems to be very powerful, most probably because it is the only IM solution based on a standard network protocol (i.e., XMPP). For this reason we would like to expand YACS capability on Jabber rather on every others, despite the low demand for that. If you know of some PHP-based solution able to fetch presence status for Jabber users, please let me know, and we will attempt to integrate it swiftly. Many thanks for your involvement. |

Bernard : pepe wrote that drupal uses edgar to implement it; you can look here jabber-programmation it explains how it works (in french). I dont know if it's a good method or not. Tof |

Tof : Je vais peut-être dire un bêtise mais d'après leur script il semble que ce soit pour ceux qui sont serveur Jabber. De plus, cela nécessite une base de données et l'intégration de la Classe Jabber. Peut-être que cette classe pourrait être intégrée directement sans Edgar. Dans l'adresse Jabber on retrouve le serveur mais pas la ressource ni les ports particuliers. Donc pas facile de s'assurer qu'un utilisateur est connecté ou non. Etant utilisateur Jabber, je suis aussi intéressé par cette nouveauté. |

From a technical standpoint web and IM are two very different things. Edgar probably features the right architecture. It runs in the background to interact with Jabber, and updates presence information in the database. Then the web site can use database content to reflect presence status in HTML pages when required. Interesting... |

Bernard : Using a lot jabber and having my own jabberserver i've made a lot of research on that topic... i mentioned edgar since drupal - so far the most advanced in that reflexion - uses it, but there are other solutions... I'll post more later today. |
