...

Introduction
============

Implementation of [XEP-0136: Message
Archiving](http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0136.html) for
[mod\_mam](mod_mam.html).

Details
=======

See [mod\_mam] for details.

Usage
=====

First configure mod\_mam as specified in it's [wiki][mod\_mam]. Make
sure it uses sql2 storage backend.

Then add "mam\_archive" to your modules\_enabled list:

        modules_enabled = {
            -- ...
            "mam_archive",
            -- ...
        }

Configuration
=============

Because of the fact that [XEP-0136] defines a 'conversation' concept not
present in [XEP-0313], we have to assume some periods of chat history as
'conversations'.

Conversation interval defaults to one day, to provide for a convenient
usage.

    archive_conversation_interval = 86400; -- defined in seconds. One day by default

That is the only reason SQL database is required as well.
