django-xmpp

XMPP integration for Django app made simple!

Attention!

This application is in early development stage. Every help or feedback is appreciated.

Features

  • ConverseJS web chat integration
  • Support for MUC auto join
  • Support for users query
  • Ejabberd Django authentication using ejabberd_auth management command
  • Single sign on functionality without storing user's credentials (requires using ejabberd_auth)
  • Set avatar using gravatar and vCard during first login

Installation

Install django-xmpp via pip:

pip install django-xmpp

Add xmpp and django_gravatar into INSTALLED_APPS:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    ...
    'django_gravatar',
    'xmpp',
)

Setup most important variables:

XMPP_DOMAIN = 'example.com'
XMPP_BOSH_SERVICE_URL = 'https://xmpp.example.com:5280/http-bind'

Optionally setup ConverseJS to suit your needs:

XMPP_CONVERSEJS_SETTINGS = {
    'allow_contact_removal': False,
    'allow_contact_requests': True,
    'auto_subscribe': True,
    'allow_logout': False,
    'allow_muc': True,
    'allow_otr': False,
    'allow_registration': False,
    'message_carbons': True,
    'hide_muc_server': True,
    'use_vcards': True,
    'animate': True,
    'play_sounds': True,
    'xhr_user_search': True,
    'sounds_path': '%ssounds/' % STATIC_URL,
    'visible_toolbar_buttons': {
         'call': False,
         'clear': False,
         'emoticons': True,
         'toggle_participants': False,
    }
}

Include xmpp.urls in your urls.py:

urlpatterns = [
    ...
    url(r'^xmpp/', include("xmpp.urls")),
]

Use ConverseJS in your base template:

{% load xmpp_tags %}
{% conversejs_initialize %}

Ejabberd Django authentication

Create ejaberd_auth.sh file that will simply call ejabberd_auth management command. Adjust to suit your environment (eg. virtualenv):

#!/bin/bash
cd <path_to_your_django_project>
python manage.py ejabberd_auth $@

Edit ejabberd.yml and add external auth script, eg.:

host_config:
    "example.com":
        auth_method: external
        extauth_program: "/<path_to_your_project>/ejabberd_auth.sh"
