#summary XEP-0050: Ad-Hoc Commands #labels Stage-Beta = Introduction = 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. 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. = Details = Will offer any adhoc command registered via 'module:add_item("adhoc", ....)'. = Usage = First copy (or symlink) the directory "adhoc" which contains mod_adhoc to your plugins directory. Load mod_adhoc and then any module which provides an adhoc command, such as mod_adhoc_cmd_ping. If you want to build your own adhoc command, just register your adhoc command module with module:add_item and a descriptor for your command. A descriptor can be created like this: {{{ local adhoc_new = module:require "adhoc".new; local descriptor = adhoc_new("Name", "node", handler); module:add_item ("adhoc", descriptor) }}} A handler gets 2 parameters. A data table and a state. The data table has 4 fields: ||to||The to attribute of the stanza to be handled|| ||from||The from attribute of the stanza to be handled|| ||action||The action to be performed as specified in the stanza to be handled|| ||form||If the to be handled stanza contains a form this will contain the form element|| The handler should return two items. A data table and a state. 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. The returned table can have the following fields: ||*Name*||*Explanation*||*Required?*|| ||status||Status of the command (One of: "completed", "canceled", "error")||yes|| ||error||A table with the fields "type", "condition" and "message"||when status is "error"|| ||info||Informational text for display to the user||no|| ||warn||A warning for the user||no|| ||actions||The actions avaiable to the client||no|| ||form||A dataform to be filled out by the user||no|| ||result||A dataform of type result to be presented to the user||no|| ||other||Any other XML to be included in the response to the user||no|| For a simple module and details have a look at mod_adhoc_cmd_ping. = Compatibility = ||0.6||Most commands work|| ||0.7||Works|| ||0.8||Included in Prosody||
