mod_isolate_host: handle server-generated stanzas The hook for setting the no_host_isolation is only called for c2s sessions. This does not work for stanzas generated by the server, such as PEP notifications or presence probe answers. To handle that, we do per-stanza checks for the case that the origin is local.

summary: Ad-hoc commands for managing MUC hats
---

# Introduction

This module provides an internal API (i.e. to other modules) to manage
'hats' for users in MUC rooms.

Hats (first defined in [XEP-0317], currently deferred) are additional identifiers
that can be attached to users in a group chat. For example in an educational
context, you may have a 'Teacher' hat that allows students to identify their
teachers.

Hats consist of a machine-readable unique identifier (a URI), and optionally
a human-readable label.

This module provides ad-hoc commands for MUC service admins to add/remove hats
to/from users in MUC rooms. It depends (automatically) on mod_muc_hats_api.

## Configuration

```
Component "conference.example.com" "muc"
  modules_enabled = { "muc_hats_adhoc" }
```

## Usage

To successfully use the module you will need to use an XMPP client that is
capable of sending commands to a specific host (e.g. via the service discovery
browser in Gajim, Psi/Psi+ and other clients), and you'll find the commands
on the MUC host.

Also note that the display of hats in clients is currently non-existent, but
will hopefully improve after [XEP-0317] is resurrected or replaced.
