It currently does not expose any admin/user-facing functionality (though in the future it will probably gain a way to view/manage pending invites). -Other modules can use the API from this module to create invite tokens which -can be used to e.g. register accounts or create automatic subscription approvals. +Instead, other modules can use the API from this module to create invite tokens +which can be used to e.g. register accounts or create automatic subscription +approvals. + +This module should not be confused with the similarly named mod_invite (note the +missing 's'!). That module was a precursor to this one that helped test and prove +the concept of invite-based registration, and is now deprecated. # Configuration +This module exposes just one option - the length of time that a generated invite +should be valid for by default. + ``` {.lua} -- Configure the number of seconds a token is valid for (default 7 days) invite_expiry = 86400 * 7 ``` -Note that all modules that use this API will automatically load this module, -so adding it to modules_enabled is generally not necessary. +# Invites setup + +For a fully-featured invite-based setup, the following provides an example +configuration: + +``` {.lua} +-- Specify the external URL format of the invite links + +VirtualHost "example.com" + invites_page = "https://example.com/invite?{invite.token}" + http_external_url = "https://example.com/" + http_paths = { + invites_page = "/invite"; + invites_register_web = "/register"; + } + modules_enabled = { + "invites"; + "invites_adhoc"; + "invites_page"; + "invites_register"; + "invites_register_web"; + + "http_libjs"; -- See 'external dependencies' below + } +``` + +Restart Prosody and create a new invite using an ad-hoc command in an XMPP client connected +to your admin account, or use the command line: + + prosodyctl mod_invites generate example.com + +## External dependencies + +The default HTML templates for the web-based modules depend on some CSS and Javascript +libraries. They expect these to be available at `https://example.com/share`. An easy +way of doing this if you are on Debian 10 (buster) is to enable mod_http_libjs and install +the following packages: + + apt install libjs-bootstrap4 libjs-jquery + +On other systems you will need to manually put these libraries somewhere on the filesystem +that Prosody can read, and serve them using mod_http_libjs with a custom `libjs_path` +setting. # Compatibility
