Subject: Letting subscribers know you updated your vcard

I'm trying to understand VCards a bit better by reading this page: http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0153.html

But i'm having a problem with example 3 on that page.

First of all, here is what I've done:

Example 1, publish avatar data to vcard:

var viq = new VcardIq { Type = IqType.Set };
 
viq.From = myBareJid;
viq.Vcard.Photo = new Matrix.Xmpp.Vcard.Photo(imageByteArray, Matrix.Xmpp.Vcard.ImageFormat.Jpeg);
 
var iq = await _xmppClient.IqFilter.SendIqAsync(viq);

In example 2, the server should respond with a result.

Example 3, including avatar hash in presence data. How do I do this? The parameters in _xmppClient.SendPresence() only allow for Show, status, and priority. How do I include the photo hash, as well as the

tags?

Here is the example that is shown in the guide of what I'm needing to send:

<presence from='juliet@capulet.com/balcony'>
  <x xmlns='vcard-temp:x:update'>
    <photo>sha1-hash-of-image</photo>
  </x>
</presence>

Or am I going about this the wrong way? Do I need to manually send the Presence that includes the avatar hash?

There is an event called OnBeforeSendPresence. This event fores before MatriX sends out the presence to the server. This is a good place to inject photo hash and makes sure it gets sent which each outgoing presence.

example:

private void xmppClient_OnBeforeSendPresence(object sender, PresenceEventArgs e)
{
    e.Presence.Add(new Matrix.Xmpp.Vcard.Update.X("Your-photo-hash"));
}

Clients which show avatars cache the images including the Hash. With vcard presence extension they know exactly when a contact changed an avatar and only then fetch the new vcard.
