Bookmarks Plugin Readme

Overview

The bookmarks plugin allows to manage groupchat and URL bookmarks.

Installation

Copy bookmark.jar into the plugins directory of your Openfire installation. The plugin will then be automatically deployed. To upgrade to a new version, copy the new bookmark.jar file over the existing file.

Upgrading from ClientControl

The functionality provided by the Bookmarks plugin was past of the ClientControl plugin (up to and including version 1.3.1 of ClientControl). If you are upgrading from ClientControl, all bookmarks will continue to be available. It is however recommended to avoid using the Bookmarks plugin in combination with the ClientControl plugin version 1.3.1 or earlier.

Upgrading from Enterprise

If you are upgrading from the Enterprise plugin, and wish to keep your old bookmarks, you will need to manually run some database scripts to perform the migration. Note, if you don't care about your previous bookmarks, you don't have to worry about these steps.

First, you will need to shut down your Openfire server and remove the enterprise plugin. To do this, perform the following steps:

  1. Shut down your Openfire server
  2. Remove the enterprise.jar file and the enterprise directory from the plugins directory in your Openfire install root
  3. Install this plugin, clientControl.jar by copying it into the plugins directory.
  4. At this point, you will need to start up Openfire and let it extract and install the clientControl plugin. You can watch for this to occur by looking under the Plugins tab in the Openfire admin console. Once it appears in the list, continue to the next step.
  5. Shut the server back down again.
  6. Go into your plugins/clientControl/database directory. There you will see some scripts prefixed with import_. Log into your database, switch to the Openfire's database as you configured during setup (you can find this information in conf/openfire.xml if you don't remember it), and run the script that matches the database you are using. Note that the embedded database is hsqldb and you can use the script in bin/extra from the Openfire install root (bin/extra/embedded-db-viewer.sh or bin/extra/embedded-db-viewer.bat, depending on whether you are using Windows) to access your embedded database.
  7. Once the script has completed, you can start Openfire back up and all of your settings should be the way they were when you were running the Enterprise plugin.
