is there a way to auto-join chat rooms in spark?, or is there a group chat feature that you can use to communicate within one group without the other users having to join a channel
You can use the following names as arguments passed into Spark.exe.
-
username
-
password
-
server
-
start_chat_jid
-
start_chat_muc
To make this easier to handle in a client side way, I have it where the app takes a HttpParam style of argument.
So…
username=foo&password=test&server=jivesoftware.com&start_chat_jid=test@j ivesoftware.com&start_chat_muc=test@conference.jivesoftware.com
You can auto-join chat rooms or single person chats as well as auto-login.

please explain this in a newbie sort of way, you mean i can use an argument when i start the app or i can use these in a script somehow
So you normally start up Spark by invoking the Spark.exe file. So, some things you can
are start it from the command line like “c:
program files
spark.exe username=foo&password=test&server=jivesoftware.com&start_chat_jid=test@j ivesoftware.com&start_chat_muc=test@conference.jivesoftware.com”
This would do the following:
-
Log in the foo user with password test on the jivesoftware.com server.
-
Start a one to one chat with test@jivesoftware.com
-
Start a conference chat in the room test@conference.jivesoftware.com
Does this help out more?
Cheers,
Derek
thanks, it worked. now is there a way to stop the program asking me for my nickname
Thanks for the command-line auto-join info.
It would be nice to have a menu choice when right-clicking the Spark tray icon to join a chat room. So if you auto-joined initially, then closed the chat room window, you wouldn’'t need to open spark, click the conference tab, find the conference room you just left, select and confirm.
