XMPP Service Operators - 2022-03-22

Hi everybody

It's been two days by now I am trying to find out how to make a newws channel on an xmpp server

I used conversations to start a (so called) channel

But the problem is that every body can write to it

I think you asked this question some time ago?

It will be a news channel like those in telegram

We explained you will need to configure some advanced settings, which cannot be done with Conversations

Only if the admin only can write

Yes true

Try using a client with advanced configuration support, such as Gajim

I have both pidgin and gajim now

Running in a debian machine

I could not find out the property that sets the write capability

Enable "Moderated (require permission to speak)"

Or eliminate it

This one i found in conversations

Moderated

xmppnewsmaker: and maybe one more, "default visitor to participant" iirc

So they don't get voice on join

I cannot find this in any of the clients i used before

Do it require some plugin?

No, this was the name of it that I recalled from Dino

You're looking in gajim?

Yes

I am running debian inside my android. I installed gajim and pidgin to explore the channels capabilities

I am familiar with these two clients

Should i try dino for more options?

No, the options come from the server

My gajim is b0rked can't say the exact name In Dino is "default users as participants" Have any that sounds the same? xmppnewsmaker

So ... I can do nothing to set my channel properties, I think

Prosody doesn't have such an option iirc

A picture of the settings in gajim, as the owner xmppnewsmaker ?

MattJ: so you can't block voice on join?!

Sure, you just set the MUC to moderated, as I already instructed :)

I shall double check everything before I continue this test
