28 This module should not be confused with the similarly named mod_invite (note the
29 missing 's'!). That module was a precursor to this one that helped test and prove
30 the concept of invite-based registration, and is now deprecated.

34 This module exposes just one option - the length of time that a generated invite
35 should be valid for by default.
11 36
12 ``` {.lua} 37 ``` {.lua}
13 -- Configure the number of seconds a token is valid for (default 7 days) 38 -- Configure the number of seconds a token is valid for (default 7 days)
14 invite_expiry = 86400 * 7 39 invite_expiry = 86400 * 7
15 ``` 40 ```
16 41
17 Note that all modules that use this API will automatically load this module, 42 # Invites setup
18 so adding it to modules_enabled is generally not necessary. 43
44 For a fully-featured invite-based setup, the following provides an example
45 configuration:
46
47 ``` {.lua}
48 -- Specify the external URL format of the invite links
49
50 VirtualHost "example.com"
51 invites_page = "https://example.com/invite?{invite.token}"
52 http_external_url = "https://example.com/"
53 http_paths = {
54 invites_page = "/invite";
55 invites_register_web = "/register";
56 }
57 modules_enabled = {
58 "invites";
59 "invites_adhoc";
60 "invites_page";
61 "invites_register";
62 "invites_register_web";
63
64 "http_libjs"; -- See 'external dependencies' below
65 }
66 ```
67
68 Restart Prosody and create a new invite using an ad-hoc command in an XMPP client connected
69 to your admin account, or use the command line:
70
71 prosodyctl mod_invites generate example.com
72
73 ## External dependencies
74
75 The default HTML templates for the web-based modules depend on some CSS and Javascript
76 libraries. They expect these to be available at `https://example.com/share`. An easy
77 way of doing this if you are on Debian 10 (buster) is to enable mod_http_libjs and install
78 the following packages:
79
80 apt install libjs-bootstrap4 libjs-jquery
81
82 On other systems you will need to manually put these libraries somewhere on the filesystem
83 that Prosody can read, and serve them using mod_http_libjs with a custom `libjs_path`
84 setting.
