XMPPFramework - Retrieving Openfire Message Archives

Question

Spent hours trying to solve this problem and I\'m stumped!

Trying to grab the Chat History between 2 users on my OpenFire server and I read that I plugin was needed

Answer 1

If you are looking for a chat history, I think you have to save the messages to core data and retrieve them from there. For saving data using the XMPPFramework inbuilt functionality, you have to use this code:

XMPPMessageArchivingCoreDataStorage *storage = [XMPPMessageArchivingCoreDataStorage   sharedInstance];
NSManagedObjectContext *moc = [storage mainThreadManagedObjectContext];

xmppMessageArchivingStorage = [XMPPMessageArchivingCoreDataStorage sharedInstance];
xmppMessageArchivingModule = [[XMPPMessageArchiving alloc] initWithMessageArchivingStorage:xmppMessageArchivingStorage];
[xmppMessageArchivingModule activate:xmppStream];
[xmppMessageArchivingModule  addDelegate:self delegateQueue:dispatch_get_main_queue()];

Now you have to retrieve that messages from core data by this:

-(void)loadarchivemsg
{  
    XMPPMessageArchivingCoreDataStorage *storage = [XMPPMessageArchivingCoreDataStorage sharedInstance];
    NSManagedObjectContext *moc = [storage mainThreadManagedObjectContext];
    NSEntityDescription *entityDescription = [NSEntityDescription entityForName:@"XMPPMessageArchiving_Message_CoreDataObject"
                                                      inManagedObjectContext:moc];
    NSFetchRequest *request = [[NSFetchRequest alloc]init];

    NSString *predicateFrmt = @"bareJidStr like %@ ";
    NSPredicate *predicate = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:predicateFrmt, chatWithUser];
    request.predicate = predicate;
    NSLog(@"%@",[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] stringForKey:@"kXMPPmyJID"]);
    [request setEntity:entityDescription];
    NSError *error;
    NSArray *messages_arc = [moc executeFetchRequest:request error:&error];

    [self print:[[NSMutableArray alloc]initWithArray:messages_arc]];
}

-(void)print:(NSMutableArray*)messages_arc{
    @autoreleasepool {
        for (XMPPMessageArchiving_Message_CoreDataObject *message in messages_arc) {
            NSXMLElement *element = [[NSXMLElement alloc] initWithXMLString:message.messageStr error:nil];
            NSLog(@"to param is %@",[element attributeStringValueForName:@"to"]);

            NSMutableDictionary *m = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];
            [m setObject:message.body forKey:@"msg"];

            if ([[element attributeStringValueForName:@"to"] isEqualToString:chatWithUser]) {               
                [m setObject:@"you" forKey:@"sender"];
            }
            else {
                [m setObject:chatWithUser forKey:@"sender"];
            }

            [messages addObject:m];

            NSLog(@"bareJid param is %@",message.bareJid);
            NSLog(@"bareJidStr param is %@",message.bareJidStr);
            NSLog(@"body param is %@",message.body);
            NSLog(@"timestamp param is %@",message.timestamp);
            NSLog(@"outgoing param is %d",[message.outgoing intValue]);
            NSLog(@"***************************************************");
        }
    }
}
