I have configured Wild Fire with multiple Contact Lists that look like:
All Sales Location x
user 1
user 2
All Drivers Location x
user 3
user 4
All Emps Location x
user 1
user 2
user 3
user 4
… and so on for location a,b,c…
The problem that I am running into is that when I use the Roster Broadcast, user 1,2,3,4 will get 2 Broadcast messages ''cause they appear twice in the roster list. Is there a way to filter out duplicate entries on a Roster Broadcast?
Thanks,
Note: My other solution is to create a “Company Wide Contact Group” and just use the group broadcast capability.
Few thoughts. Broadcasting to groups works as it should, it sends message to every contact in a a group. One should avoid of making duplicate contacts.
Hi there, I was wondering simply how one would go about using the broadcast plugin to send broadcast messages to groups?
I have an SQL server application that already has user accounts and groups defined. I’'ve synced those user accounts and groups over to Wildfire and now I want to be able to issue alerts from the SQL application to groups of Jabber users programmatically, without using a jabber client like spark or manually doing it. Any ideas?
There are 2 ways to broadcast messages using the broadcast plugin. 1) Using a client send a message to the broadcast service or 2) Write a Wildfire plugin that uses the broadcast API to broadcast messages. In your case you can use any of them depending on your architecture that you are building.
