We are manually adding each user to the:

/etc/prosody/groups.txt

After they register. Its a bit painful, if there was an easier way I'd
like to know, too.

There isn't at the moment. Most people requiring this (or similar)
functionality are auto-generating the groups file (which isn't a
terrible solution if you're a unix kind of person...).

We have a related bug open about why we can't do this easily in a
plugin: http://prosody.im/bugs/167

It may be slightly easier in 0.9 to write a plugin for the specific
case where everyone is to see everyone else, but a more general
solution won't be available until 0.9+1 at least, sorry.

In the meantime, generating groups.txt is your best option. If you are
using the default storage backend, you might find mod_listusers
helpful, you can simply pipe the output to a file:

Hope this helps,

Hello Matthew,

 

     Thanks you very much for the inputs & prompt reply. This support really makes prosody to grow. Keep it up.

 

As mentioned earlier I am using Prosody 0.8.2 with jappix mini on CentOS... I am having weird problem. In the prosody, when I add say around 3000 users in sharedgroups.txt  & in mysql db using "prosodyctl register username domain password" 

 

In IE8, I get the attached message saying  "Stop running the Script" - "Script of this page on IE  is running slow"  when I have 3000 users on sharedgroup.txt while when I have

3 or 4 users on sharedgroups.txt file, it gives NO such message.  It works fine on IE9, FF, Chrome, & Safari.

 

Please advice if you have any pointers....

 

Rgds,

[Matthew Wild]

My guess is that it happens while Jappix is processing the roster.
Perhaps IE8 was less efficient at XML handling or something?

Maybe someone in the Jappix community may have experienced something
like this before. Though it's no surprise to me that clients fail with
thousands of contacts, many (non-web) struggle to reach 1000 without
slowing down.
