Question

I have a number of users on my wiki that would like to have links to their Jabber clients in the Instant Messaging portion of their Personal Data. The problem is that we can't seem to figure out how to get them to show up as links . The typical [[xmpp:user@host][my im handle]] doesn't seem to make a link (nor does the less strict [[xmpp://user@host][my im handle]), or if they do link up it's to a new WikiWord page (with the create page ? mark). Any advice would be groovey

Example URI here from xmpp (jabber) working group

Thanks much. JeffPerry

You need to add the xmpp protocol to the $regex{linkProtocolPattern} in TWiki.pm. Note that this is a change to the core code which might get lost on the next TWiki upgrade. The upcoming 4.0.3 release will have a configure option, see Bugs:Item2301
