ofarchiver 0.43

Introduction

OfArchiver generates HTML archives of chat rooms on an Openfire instant messaging server.

Example usage is as follows:

from ofarchiver import OfArchiver

ofa = OfArchiver()
for room in ofa.get_rooms():
    ofa.gen_archive(room)

A script called ofarchiver is also installed, which takes advantage of the multiprocessing Python module to speed up archive generation on installations with multiple chat rooms. It can serve as a cron job to generate archives at a given interval.

Requirements

• An Openfire server with chat rooms (tested with 3.7.0).

• MySQL as the Openfire database (tested with 5.0).

• A web server (tested with Apache 2.2 and its mod_autoindex module).

• Python 2.6 or higher (available for RHEL/CentOS 5 in EPEL as python26).

Installation

• With pip:

  sudo pip install OfArchiver

• With easy_install:

  sudo easy_install OfArchiver

• From source:

  git clone http://github.com/egnyte/ofarchiver
  cd ofarchiver
  python setup.py build
  sudo python setup.py install
