Updates so far

Since I am new to Drupal module development, I have gone through this book - Learning Drupal 6 Module Development by Matt Butcher. Its awesome!

I have read CVS documentation and successfully setup my CVS account (in Eclipse).

Currently I am reading Professional XMPP Programming with JavaScript® and jQuery by Jack Moffitt and going through DXMPP module's existing code.

Unable to run DXMPP module locally

Posted by darklrd on May 15, 2010 at 8:56am

I have installed ejabberd. But I am encountering some problems when I try to run DXMPP module.

The first problem is that it after creating/registering a new user on XMPP server fails to create corresponding entry in dxmpp_users table and then it keeps on trying to re-register the user again and again. Watchdog shows this error - (-1) Unable to register shashwat : Username already registered. Then after deleting the user from the XMPP server via admin console and repeating the whole procedure 2 -3 times it successfully registers the user.

The second problem is that watchdog keeps on reporting some problem with UR-API as shown below.
warning: Parameter 2 to dxmpp_user_relationships() expected to be a reference, value given in E:\xampp\htdocs\dxmpp\includes\module.inc on line 483.
warning: Parameter 2 to user_relationships_api_user_relationships() expected to be a reference, value given in E:\xampp\htdocs\dxmpp\includes\module.inc on line 483.
warning: Parameter 2 to user_relationship_defaults_user_relationships() expected to be a reference, value given in E:\xampp\htdocs\dxmpp\includes\module.inc on line 483.
warning: Parameter 2 to user_relationship_elaborations_user_relationships() expected to be a reference, value given in E:\xampp\htdocs\dxmpp\includes\module.inc on line 483.
warning: Parameter 2 to user_relationship_mailer_user_relationships() expected to be a reference, value given in E:\xampp\htdocs\dxmpp\includes\module.inc on line 483.

The third problem is that when I click on any online user to chat with a separate chatbox opens but there is no textbox area visible to type in.

I am not sure what exactly is the problem. Is there some problem with my whole setup?
