I run both drupal and jabber on my server. I would like to set up drupal so that when a user registers on my website, a jabber account is created with the same login and password. Is this possible? Has anyone built a module to do this, or is there some other way?

I take it no one has an easy solution for this?

using CVS Drupal, you can use the _user('register') hook to create the Jabber account. No code exists for this that I know of. Still Drupal provides a nice hook for you to code it.

maybe have a look at this:

Yeah, all go and read that. *g*

The problem is really that jabber expects to get clear text passwords and Drupal stores only md5 hashes. You probably need to modify Drupal to not hash the passwords to get what I want.

If you have troubles with a particular contrib project, please consider filing a support request. Thanks. And, by the way, Drupal 4.5 does not work with PHP 5.

There has been an old jabber.module. I was able to find it here:

http://ejabberd.jabber.ru/files/site/jabber.module.txt

- Copied it to modules/jabber/jabber.module
- Activated it in the modules section
- log out admin
- enter JID and Jabber password and log in

Drupal account will be created on the fly.

If you change the password in Drupal, the Jabber password will not be changed and now you can log in with BOTH passwords.

I will link the 'Register Account' to a modified login page of jwchat (http://jwchat.sourceforge.net/) which has 'Register New Account' activated and hidden.

YMMV

Is there any module in Drupal that allows you to a web based 'gmail chat' like interface .

I am working to get Jwclient drupal to work together .

Integrating JWChat (http://jwchat.sourceforge.net/) with Drupal would be a good step in this direction. Have you made any progress since Feburary Krish?
