Version: (using KDE Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources several wishes for the jabber groupchat: - display the name of the sender and not always the channelname - fill contactlist with people in room - don't display own messages twice (not that important) I've checked it with psi and it seems to support this
Groupchat is still very alpha, it's on the todo list though. I hope to be able to extend it soon.
Yep, I get the same problems. Just to confirm.
I just read an article on kdedevelopers that said that there was not very much feedback/wishlist/demand for the jabber plugin. I'd like to add my voice to the meagre list. I'd also like to say that the reason I personally haven't been pestering about this is because I'd read that it was in progress and don't like to bother developers (who have enough to do). If there are others like me, I'd suggest not putting down to lack of demand what can be ascribed to politeness. Kopete is great, it's my main IM client now. It will be perfect when it gets these last little bits and bobs in the jabber client. Keep up the good work.
I'm working on upgrading to the latest and greatest version of our Jabber backend right now, so I hope that the plugin will evolve a bit in the following weeks/months. Feature requests and bug reports are always welcome though. I might not always have time to work on the plugin, but it's good to know which items on my todo list I should prioritize.

If the summary of this bug were improved to be recognizable by regular Kopete users, it wouldn't get so many duplicates. Furthermore, I don't see how this can be categorized as wishlist, when the group chat feature is already in Kopete, but doesn't work. Outgoing messages don't work at all, as I attempted to report in Bug 80494.
It has been disabled in HEAD since it involves rather large changes and I don't know when I'll get around to do it, yet people keep complaining about the partial support. On top of that, groupchat is superseded by multi-user chat, which is a new version of that protocol. If you have a better suggestion for the bug title, feel free to answer. We can always retitle it.
CVS commit by gerken: Adding basic group chat support to the Jabber plugin. This is accompanied by quite a bit of refactoring, introducing a bit of instability. The group chat code is by no means stable yet and needs lots of testing, so expect a few crashes here and there. The code will mature over the next weeks, I just wanted to get the feature itself in before the freeze. Kopete does not really like the way Jabber handles group chats, so this will eventually also reveal a few flaws in libkopete's internals. Send missing features and bugs to http://bugs.kde.org please, I'll take care of them.

Changing title to reflect new JEP, since group chat has been implemented.

Is this new functionality or will it be part of kde-3.3 or kde-3.4?
It's new and will be part of KDE 3.3.
Is it in KDE?
It is in KDE 3.4 but improvements are in the SVN trunk. I've been absent for a long time and only got back to working on the Jabber plugin a short time ago. The original issues in this bug have been fixed, I'm still keeping it as a generic placeholder for "full MUC support" though.
I just set up MUC (multi user chat) on my own jabber server and have some notices: - The group chat itself works very nice. What bothers me are the names of the people in there - they are <roomname>@<server>/<username>. That is really annoying if you have a small window and can't see the full name. Is it possible to show the names only, removin room@server? - There is no way to browse the room list, even though the services list shows the conference plugin.
@Christian Weiske: you need to report a wish for that or use another client such as Coccinella that have that default behaviour that you want.
If I join the MUC room and someone have written something earlier but he isn't available now, Kopete won't display his messages. Psi will, so I think it's a Kopete bug.

Related to: Bug 121274: wish: open jabber group chat
I noticed that the chatlog in MUC does not show who was the person speaking. With single user chat, that is no problem but if there are more then 2 people in the channel it becomes quite confusing (and honestly thats really not standard behaviour).
Dear user, unfortunately Kopete is no longer maintained. Please migrate to another solution, e.g. for Jabber a possibility is Kaidan, for Matrix a candidate is NeoChat.
