can't seem to send message to a groupchat.

[jacksnodgrass]

I can do:
$client->message->send($message, $recipient,$msg_type);
where $msg_type = 'chat' and send the specified message to the specified recipient.

changing $msg_type to 'groupchat' does not get the message sent to a chat group.

You have to FIRST do something like:
$client->presence->subscribe("chatroom@conference.chat.server/resource_name");

BUT xmpp-php sends:

<presence from='testuser@spark.example.com' to='groupchat@conference.spark.example.com' 
 type='subscribe' />

and that does not work for my openchat chat server. I don't get an error but when I do the send() I get a 406 error.

<error code="406" type="modify"><not-acceptable xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-stanzas"/></error>

If we send:
<presence from='testuser@spark.example.com' to='groupchat@conference.spark.example.com' />
instead... then the send() to the chat room works.

Thanks Jack for these comments and improvements. Do you have a server test account somewhere readily available so I can test it out as well?

I'll see if I can get something setup on Monday that you can access. Do you use docker at all?

Thanks.

Regarding Docker yes, but not here because this is meant to be the core library, and if I would get Docker container it would make much more sense to make a container with Ratchet which runs a WS server which calls the library.

I was asking about docker because I have a pretty good docker-compose setup for openfire ( a xmpp based chat server ) could be used for localized testing. - jack

That would be great!

Hello @jacksnodgrass,
is there anything new in setting me up the access for the server or maybe merging a openfire Docker env?

Thanks
