Subject: MucManager change room properties

I see how to create a chat room using the server default properties in the MiniClient sample. You use EnterRoom then RequestInstantRoom.

I would like to show a dialog after the call EnterRoom so the user can change the defaults (public, persistent, require password, etc) before creating the room with RequestInstantRoom. Is this possible? If not I would like to change the defaults after creating the room with RequestInstantRoom. How do I do this?

I see MucManger.RequestRoomConfiguration will return a form. How do I use this?

yes this is possible. Don't call RequestInstantRoom and request the room configuration form with RequestRoomConfiguration.

RequestRoomConfiguration returns a xdata form with all the properties your server allows to configure. You have to parse this form either to a UI and present it to your user, or process it automatically in code. In both ways you get a result which you have to send back to the server. When this succeeds you room is configured and ready to use.

On our download server here:
http://www.ag-software.net/download-directory/
when you browse to /MatriX/Full/ there is archive MatriX.Ui.zip. This is a project which creates a user interface from xdata forms, and also creates the response you have to submit from the user input. When you need a UI for the xdata from then this code will help you a lot.

The following code build the packet to submit the room configuration:

var iq = new OwnerIq {Type = IqType.set, To = jidRoom, OwnerQuery = {XData = xdataResult}};

I have added a new function SubmitRoomConfiguration to the MucManager which will be in the next build.

Thanks.

What is the best way to get the xdata from the Query?

When will the next build happen?

Define a callback for the room configuration. The Iq Stanza is in the callback event args.
The following code gets the xdata form.

if (iq != null)
{
var query = iq.Element<Matrix.Xmpp.Muc.Owner.OwnerQuery>();
if (query != null)
{
var xdata = query.XData;
}
}
