Setting up a BOSH server

Facebook integration
====================
.. Note ::
It should be possible to integrate Converse.js with Facebook chat, and
below I'll provide some tips and documentation on how to achieve this. That
said, I don't have a Facebook account and therefore haven't tried to do
this myself. Feedback and patches from people who have succesfully done this
will be appreciated.
Converse.js uses `Strophe.js <http://strophe.im/strophejs>`_ to connect and
communicate with the XMPP server. One nice thing about Strophe.js is that it
can be extended via `plugins <http://github.com/strophe/strophejs-plugins>`_.
Here is a `plugin for authenticating with facebook
<https://github.com/kissrobber/turedsocial/blob/master/strophe-plugins/src/facebook.js>`_.
You will need your own BOSH connection manager to act as a proxy between
Converse.js/Strophe.js and Facebook's XMPP server. That is because Facebook's
XMPP server doesn't support BOSH natively.
The BOSH connection manager that I make available for
testing purposes (at https://bind.conversejs.org) uses `Punjab <https://github.com/twonds/punjab>`_,
although there are quite a few other options available as well.
When you configure Converse.js, via its ``initialize`` method, you must specify the
`bosh_service_url`_ value, which is to be your BOSH connection manager.
Please note, to enable Facebook integration, you'll have to
get your hands dirty and modify Converse.js's code, so that it calls the
``facebookConnect`` method of the plugin above.
The plugin above gives the following code example for you to meditate upon:
::
connection = new Strophe.Connection("http://localhost:5280/bosh");
connection.facebookConnect(
"12345@chat.facebook.com",
onConnectFacebook,
300,
1,
'5e64a30272af065bd72258c565a03f2f',
'8147a27e4a7f9b55ffc85c2683f9529a',
FB.getSession().session_key
);
The connection is already created inside Converse.js, so the
``facebookConnect`` method needs to also be called from there.
If someone submits a sane patch that does the above, I'll be happy to merge it.
Until then, people will have to do this themselves.

Sound Notifications
===================
From version 0.8.1 Converse.js can play a sound notification when you receive a
message.
For more info, please see the `play_sounds`_ configuration setting.
Multilingual Support
====================
Converse.js is translated into multiple languages. The default build,
``converse.min.js``, includes all languages.
Languages increase the size of the Converse.js significantly.
If you only need one, or a subset of the available languages, it's better to
make a custom build which includes only those languages that you need.

play_sounds

Default: ``false``
Inside the ``./sounds`` directory of the Converse.js repo, you'll see MP3 and Ogg
formatted sound files. We need both, because neither format is supported by all browsers.
For now, sound files are looked up by convention, not configuration. So to have
a sound play when a message is received, make sure that your webserver serves
it in both formats as ``http://yoursite.com/sounds/msg_received.mp3`` and
``http://yoursite.com/sounds/msg_received.ogg``.
``http://yoursite.com`` should of course be your site's URL.

<p class="last">It should be possible to integrate Converse.js with Facebook chat, and
below I&#8217;ll provide some tips and documentation on how to achieve this. That
said, I don&#8217;t have a Facebook account and therefore haven&#8217;t tried to do
this myself. Feedback and patches from people who have succesfully done this
will be appreciated.</p>
</div>
<p>Converse.js uses <a class="reference external" href="http://strophe.im/strophejs">Strophe.js</a> to connect and
communicate with the XMPP server. One nice thing about Strophe.js is that it
can be extended via <a class="reference external" href="http://github.com/strophe/strophejs-plugins">plugins</a>.</p>
<p>Here is a <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/kissrobber/turedsocial/blob/master/strophe-plugins/src/facebook.js">plugin for authenticating with facebook</a>.</p>
<p>You will need your own BOSH connection manager to act as a proxy between
Converse.js/Strophe.js and Facebook&#8217;s XMPP server. That is because Facebook&#8217;s
XMPP server doesn&#8217;t support BOSH natively.</p>
<p>The BOSH connection manager that I make available for
testing purposes (at <a class="reference external" href="https://bind.conversejs.org">https://bind.conversejs.org</a>) uses <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/twonds/punjab">Punjab</a>,
although there are quite a few other options available as well.</p>
<p>When you configure Converse.js, via its <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">initialize</span></tt> method, you must specify the
<a class="reference internal" href="#bosh-service-url">bosh_service_url</a> value, which is to be your BOSH connection manager.</p>
<p>Please note, to enable Facebook integration, you&#8217;ll have to
get your hands dirty and modify Converse.js&#8217;s code, so that it calls the
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">facebookConnect</span></tt> method of the plugin above.</p>
<p>The plugin above gives the following code example for you to meditate upon:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre>connection = new Strophe.Connection(&quot;http://localhost:5280/bosh&quot;);
connection.facebookConnect(
&quot;12345@chat.facebook.com&quot;,
onConnectFacebook,
300,
1,
&#39;5e64a30272af065bd72258c565a03f2f&#39;,
&#39;8147a27e4a7f9b55ffc85c2683f9529a&#39;,
FB.getSession().session_key
);
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>The connection is already created inside Converse.js, so the
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">facebookConnect</span></tt> method needs to also be called from there.</p>
<p>If someone submits a sane patch that does the above, I&#8217;ll be happy to merge it.
Until then, people will have to do this themselves.</p>

the webserver. HTTP connections are stateless and usually shortlived.

Overcoming cross-domain request restrictions
--------------------------------------------
The domain of the *Converse.js* demo is *conversejs.org*, but the domain of the connection manager is *opkode.im*.
Lets say your domain is *example.org*, but the domain of your connection
manager is *example.com*.
HTTP requests are made by *Converse.js* to the connection manager via XmlHttpRequests (XHR).
Until recently, it was not possible to make such requests to a different domain
than the one currently being served (to prevent XSS attacks).

Setting up a BOSH server
------------------------
The `Movim <http://movim.eu/>`_ project wiki has a very thorough page on setting up a BOSH server for
a wide variety of standalone or XMPP servers.

Facebook integration
====================
.. Note ::
It should be possible to integrate Converse.js with Facebook chat, and
below I'll provide some tips and documentation on how to achieve this. That
said, I don't have a Facebook account and therefore haven't tried to do
this myself. Feedback and patches from people who have succesfully done this
will be appreciated.
Converse.js uses `Strophe.js <http://strophe.im/strophejs>`_ to connect and
communicate with the XMPP server. One nice thing about Strophe.js is that it
can be extended via `plugins <http://github.com/strophe/strophejs-plugins>`_.
Here is a `plugin for authenticating with facebook
<https://github.com/kissrobber/turedsocial/blob/master/strophe-plugins/src/facebook.js>`_.
You will need your own BOSH connection manager to act as a proxy between
Converse.js/Strophe.js and Facebook's XMPP server. That is because Facebook's
XMPP server doesn't support BOSH natively.
The BOSH connection manager that I make available for
testing purposes (at https://bind.conversejs.org) uses `Punjab <https://github.com/twonds/punjab>`_,
although there are quite a few other options available as well.
When you configure Converse.js, via its ``initialize`` method, you must specify the
`bosh_service_url`_ value, which is to be your BOSH connection manager.
Please note, to enable Facebook integration, you'll have to
get your hands dirty and modify Converse.js's code, so that it calls the
``facebookConnect`` method of the plugin above.
The plugin above gives the following code example for you to meditate upon:
::
connection = new Strophe.Connection("http://localhost:5280/bosh");
connection.facebookConnect(
"12345@chat.facebook.com",
onConnectFacebook,
300,
1,
'5e64a30272af065bd72258c565a03f2f',
'8147a27e4a7f9b55ffc85c2683f9529a',
FB.getSession().session_key
);
The connection is already created inside Converse.js, so the
``facebookConnect`` method needs to also be called from there.
If someone submits a sane patch that does the above, I'll be happy to merge it.
Until then, people will have to do this themselves.

Converse.js in order to avoid most eavesdroppers, if you need serious
communications privacy, then you're much better off using native software.
Sound Notifications
===================
From version 0.8.1 Converse.js can play a sound notification when you receive a
message.
For more info, please see the `play_sounds`_ configuration setting.
Multilingual Support
====================
Converse.js is translated into multiple languages. The default build,
``converse.min.js``, includes all languages.
Languages increase the size of the Converse.js significantly.
If you only need one, or a subset of the available languages, it's better to
make a custom build which includes only those languages that you need.

Specify the locale/language. The language must be in the ``locales`` object. Refer to

play_sounds
-----------
Default: ``false``
Inside the ``./sounds`` directory of the Converse.js repo, you'll see MP3 and Ogg
formatted sound files. We need both, because neither format is supported by all browsers.
For now, sound files are looked up by convention, not configuration. So to have
a sound play when a message is received, make sure that your webserver serves
it in both formats as ``http://yoursite.com/sounds/msg_received.mp3`` and
``http://yoursite.com/sounds/msg_received.ogg``.
``http://yoursite.com`` should of course be your site's URL.
