mod_vcard_legacy

This module converts users profiles and Avatars between old and new formats, as described in XEP-0398.

Details

This module combines and translates a users vcard4 and PEP avatar data to and from the older vcard-temp format. vcard profile information and avatar are stored separately in PEP.

Starting with 0.11.3 this module will upgrade data from the format used by mod_vcard data into the format used by mod_vcard_legacy and mod_vcard4. This process removes the old data. This is to avoid having both old and new data.

Usage

modules_enabled = {
    -- Other modules
    "vcard_legacy";
}

Configuration

A boolean setting upgrade_legacy_vcards that defaults to true is available from 0.11.3. Setting it to false disables automatic upgrading of data from mod_vcard.

Configuration is handled though PEP. The nodes involved are:

urn:xmpp:vcard4
urn:xmpp:avatar:metadata
urn:xmpp:avatar:data

These can be configured individually. Notably, if given different permissions then this is respected by mod_vcard_legacy. This allows users to e.g. make only their avatar public and restrict their name and other details to contacts.
