4 = Introduction =
5
6 implementation of [http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0050.html XEP-0050: Ad-Hoc Commands], which allows clients to execute commands on the Prosody server. This plugin adds no commands itself, see the other `mod_adhoc_*` plugins for those.
7
8 This module along with the other adhoc modules in prosody-modules are included in Prosody as of 0.8, making this plugin unnecessary for users of this version and later.
9
10 = Details =
11
12 Will offer any adhoc command registered via 'module:add_item("adhoc", ....)'.
13

15
16 = Usage =
17
18 First copy (or symlink) the directory "adhoc" which contains mod_adhoc to your plugins directory.
19 Load mod_adhoc and then any module which provides an adhoc command, such as
20 mod_adhoc_cmd_ping.
21
22 If you want to build your own adhoc command, just register your adhoc command module with
23 module:add_item and a descriptor for your command.
24
25 A descriptor can be created like this:
26 {{{
27 local adhoc_new = module:require "adhoc".new;
28 local descriptor = adhoc_new("Name", "node", handler);
29 module:add_item ("adhoc", descriptor)
30 }}}
31
32 A handler gets 2 parameters. A data table and a state.
33
34 The data table has 4 fields:
35 ||to||The to attribute of the stanza to be handled||
36 ||from||The from attribute of the stanza to be handled||
37 ||action||The action to be performed as specified in the stanza to be handled||
38 ||form||If the to be handled stanza contains a form this will contain the form element||
39
40 The handler should return two items. A data table and a state.
41 The state will be saved and passed to the handler on invocation for any adhoc stanza with the same sessionid. If a session has ended the state returned should be nil.
42
43 The returned table can have the following fields:
44 ||*Name*||*Explanation*||*Required?*||
45 ||status||Status of the command (One of: "completed", "canceled", "error")||yes||
46 ||error||A table with the fields "type", "condition" and "message"||when status is "error"||
47 ||info||Informational text for display to the user||no||
48 ||warn||A warning for the user||no||
49 ||actions||The actions avaiable to the client||no||
50 ||form||A dataform to be filled out by the user||no||
51 ||result||A dataform of type result to be presented to the user||no||
52 ||other||Any other XML to be included in the response to the user||no||
53
54 For a simple module and details have a look at mod_adhoc_cmd_ping.
