various: Improve error reporting if missing file server module on 0.12 If there is some error loading net.http.files then it would be swallowed by the pcall and then it would proceed to trying mod_http_files, which might cause unexpected behavior on 0.12 Ref #1765

summary: 'Notify of MUC messages to not present members'
...

Introduction
============

This module listens to MUC messages and sends a notification to the
MUC members not present in the MUC at that moment.

By default, the notification will be a message with a simple text as body.

By sending this "out-of-MUC" notification, not-joined members will be able to
know that new messages are available.

Usage
=====

First copy the module to the prosody plugins directory.

Then add "muc\_notifications" to your modules\_enabled list in your
MUC component:

```{.lua}
Component "conference.example.org" "muc"
modules_enabled = {
	"muc_notifications",
}
```

You may also want to enable "offline\_hints" module so the notification messages
sent by this module are not added to the offline storage for later delivery.

Configuration
=============

  Option                      Description
  --------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  muc\_notification\_invite   If set to `true`, the notification sent will take the form of a MUC invite. (default: `false`)
