| == Lorl's quick setup (for pidgin) ==
| | '''XMPP''' (also known as '''Jabber''') is an open instant-messaging protocol. Many alliances in EVE use Jabber as a means of keeping in contact with one another when not logged on to EVE or on voice comms. Note that Jabber is not a program, it is the protocol spoken by a number of different programs such as Pidgin, Trillian, etc. to provide instant messaging services. EVE University used to run a Jabber server, however it was shut down in favor of [[Archive:UniSlacks|Slack]]. |
| === Getting logged in ===
| |
| # Download and install Pidgin: [http://pidgin.im/]
| |
| # The Accounts window should open, if not, click accounts > manage accounts
| |
| # Click Add
| |
| # Set protocol to XMPP
| |
| # Username is your forum username, replacing any spaces with periods "." and use your forum password
| |
| # There is no...
| |
| # Domain is eveuniversity.org
| |
| # Set Resource to something, (i.e. desktop, laptop, phone, bob: it doesn't really matter what)
| |
| # Probably want to set to remember password
| |
| # Click Add!
| |
|
| |
|
| === Getting into a chat room ===
| | [[Category:Applications]] |
| # In the buddies list, click Tools > Room List
| |
| # Ensure account is your university one (only matters if you're on other jabber servers too)
| |
| # Click on Get List
| |
| # Ensure that the conference server is: conference.eveuniversity.org click on Find Rooms
| |
| # Click on the channel you want to join, then join!
| |
| # There is no...
| |
| The main chat room is currently called "e-uni"
| |
| | |
| === Making your own chat room ===
| |
| As in "Getting into a chat room," except: instead of #5:
| |
| # Click Add Chat
| |
| # Give your room a name, and a password if you want, then click add
| |
| # Go back to your buddy list, and double click on the chat you created.
| |
| # If you want a basic, temporary non password protected room, just click Accept Defaults, otherwise Configure Room:
| |
| ## If clicked configure, change settings as you wish, be sure to click Make room password protected, and insert the password you picked if you want it to be password protected.
| |
| ## To later change settings, type "/config" in the chat room.
| |
| | |
| Handy tip, even if you don't make a room persistent, it will stay in your buddy list, and you can easily recreate it to use again.
| |
| Another Pro tip: type /help for a list of commands (in any client)
| |
| | |
| == Ulrich's quick setup (for Trillian) ==
| |
| === Getting logged in ===

| |
| # Once installed go to manage accounts, then add a new account. Select Jabber/XMPP as the protocol.
| |
| # The username is your forum user name with any spaces replaced by "." followed by @eveuniversity.org. Your password is your forum password
| |
| | |
| === Getting into a chat room ===
| |
| # Click the v shaped icon on the main window.
| |
| # Select browse for conferences in the drop down menu.
| |
| # Select the channel you want to join.
