Shared roster groups

[poVoq]

ejabberd and prosody (via https://prosody.im/doc/modules/mod_groups) support configuring shared nested roster groups and it would be nice if the UI would support this by showing the roster categories as groups of contacts.

As xmpp-web doesn't do contact management by itself (for now?) I think this would be used often by linking these groups to LDAP for example.

Thanks @poVoq unfortunately, I'm not using eJabberd and the staging setup is based on Prosody, can you provide a prosody.cfg file I can use?

[poVoq]

An example for Prosody is in the original post. Prosody's support is much more limited, but you can make a sharedgroups.txt and enable and point mod_groups to it.

Seriously, I don't want to spend my free time trying to figure out how to reproduce setup. I have already spent time to make a detailed procedure, and and no one cares... WHAT IS NOT CLEAR?
I'm waiting the archive, it only takes 5 minutes to do... it was the last time.

Now I can reproduce, what is your need?
If UI display something like the following, is it ok?

[nioc]

Bad idea. As a user can be in more than one group, it will be too long.

[poVoq]

Sure, was just an idea. Thanks for looking into it!

[nioc]

I do not give up 😠
This is more in your first idea:

I am right?

[nioc]

When I said "Bad idea", it was my UI proposal I was talking about 😉

[poVoq]

Your second example is how ConverseJS does it. To me that seems like a good way to do it.

Great! I let it as pull request for now, if you want some UI tweaks, let me know.
