| 6 Pastebins are used very often in IM, especially in chat rooms. You have a long log or command output which you need to send to someone over IM, and don't want to fill their message window with it. Put it on a pastebin site, and give them the URL instead, simple. | |
| 7 | |
| 8 Not for everyone... no matter how hard you try, people will be unaware, or not care. They may also be too lazy to visit a pastebin. This is where mod_pastebin comes in! | |

12 When someone posts to a room a "large" (configurable) message, Prosody will intercept the message and convert it to a URL pointing to a built-in pastebin server. The URLs are randomly generated, so they can be considered for most purposes to be private, and cannot be discovered by people who are not in the room. |

16 To set up mod_pastebin for MUC rooms it *must* be explicitly loaded, as in the example below - it won't work when loaded globally, as that will only load it onto normal virtual hosts. |
| 8 | 17 |
| 18 For example: | |
| 19 {{{ | |
| 20 Component "conference.example.com" "muc" | |
| 21 modules_enabled = { "pastebin" } | |
| 22 }}} | |
| 23 | |
| 24 = Configuration = | |
| 25 ||pastebin_ports||List of ports to run the HTTP server on, same format as mod_httpserver's http_ports|| | |
| 136 | 26 ||pastebin_threshold||Maximum length (in characters) of a message that is allowed to skip the pastebin. (default 500 characters)|| |
| 27 ||pastebin_line_threshold||The maximum number of lines a message may have before it is sent to the pastebin. (default 4 lines)|| | |
| 28 ||pastebin_trigger||A string of characters (e.g. "!paste ") which if detected at the start of a message, always sends the message to the pastebin, regardless of length. (default: not set)|| | |
| 40 | 29 ||pastebin_url||Base URL to display for pastebin links, must end with / and redirect to Prosody's built-in HTTP server|| |
