That's Bad. Also he asked why I have not changed $server for gmail. One, the port would need a change, so this is shorter, two (as he noted later) the variable is reused. chx Previous comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thu, 08 Sep 2005 22:29:05 +0000 : chx Attachment: http://drupal.org/files/issues/jabber.txt (4.59 KB) Google (Talk) uses Jabber and that alone is enough reason to dust off Jabber and put it back into core. If you are looking for a maintainer, my hand is up. The only significant code change is that I removed the global $jabber; because I have not liked that. I included an exception for gmail.com. If you do not like it, then do not commit the module as there is almost no point.
