The other modules are: + +- mod_invites +- mod_invites_adhoc +- mod_invites_register +- mod_invites_register_web +- mod_register_apps + +For details and a full overview, start with the mod_invites documentation. + +Details +======= + +mod_invites_page provides a unique web page for each generated invitation. +Without this module, Prosody will only be able to generate invite links as +`xmpp:` URIs (they look something like `xmpp:example.com?register;preauth=29Xbxr91`). +URIs will only work if the invited user already has an XMPP client installed. +This is usually not the case. + +This module transforms the URI into a friendly web page that can be shared +via any method (email, SMS, etc.), and opened in any browser. The page explains +the invitation and guides the user to set up their account using one of a +configurable list of XMPP clients (to configure the list, see mod_register_apps +documentation). + +Configuration +============= + +| Name | Description | Default | +|---------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------| +| invites_page | The format of an invite page URL (must begin with `https://`) | `"https://{host}:5281/invites_page?{invite.token}"` | +| invites_registration_page | The format of an invite registration page URL (may be relative to invites_page)| `"register?t={invite.token}&c={app.id}"` | +| | | site_name | The friendly name of the server| `"example.com"` | + +The `invites_page` and `invites_registration_page` options are templates +that support a number of variables. The most useful being `{host}` and +`{invite.token}`. + +All the usual [HTTP configuration options](https://prosody.im/doc/http) +can be used to configure this module. In particular, if you run Prosody +behind a reverse proxy such as nginx or Apache, you will probably want +to set `http_external_url` so that Prosody knows what URLs should look +like for users.
