summary: 'XEP-0313: Message Archive Management for MUC'

...

Introduction

============

This module logs the conversation of chatrooms running on the server to

Prosody's archive storage. To access them you will need a client with

support for [XEP-0313: Message Archive Management] **version 0.5** or

a module such as [mod_http_muc_log].

Usage

=====

First copy the module to the prosody plugins directory.

Then add "mam\_muc" to your modules\_enabled list:

``` {.lua}

Component "conference.example.org" "muc"

modules_enabled = {

  "mam_muc",

}

```

mod\_mam\_muc needs an archive-capable storage module, see

[Prosodys storage documentation][doc:storage] for how to select one.

The store is called "muc\_log".

Configuration

=============

Logging needs to be enabled for each room in the room configuration

dialog.

``` {.lua}

muc_log_by_default = true; -- Enable logging by default (can be disabled in room config)

muc_log_all_rooms = false; -- set to true to force logging of all rooms

-- This is the largest number of messages that are allowed to be retrieved when joining a room.

max_history_messages = 20;

```

Compatibility

=============

  ------- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

  trunk   Use mod\_muc\_mam (included with Prosody)

  0.11    Use mod\_muc\_mam (included with Prosody)

  0.10    Works partially, only legacy XEP-0313 (version 0.5, namespace urn:xmpp:mam:1)

  0.9     Does not work

  0.8     Does not work

  ------- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Prosody trunk (after April 2014) has a major rewrite of the MUC module,

allowing easier integration, but this module is not compatible with

that.
