Conference Room Nick Name

Submitted by coling on Wed, 03/10/2004 - 10:55

Is there a way to change your own name which appears in the Users list within a conference room, for example when I log into a conference room my name appears as my jabber login ID and I would like to change this to my nick name?

Two ways:

To enter a chatroom, instead of double clicking it on the Jabber Browser, the Discovery or your Roster 'bookmark', click with the second button. A dialog will appear where you can change the nickname.

If you are into a chatroom, you can also change your nick on the fly with the '/nick' command, like in IRC. Just type in the conversation

/nick my_new_nick

and you're done.

If you put the following in ~/.tkabber/config.tcl
set defaultnick(*) "your nickname"
then "your nickname" will be your default nick in all conference rooms.

If in addition you want to use "another nickname" in any room at conference.jabber.ru, for example, you may add
set defaultnick(*@conference.jabber.ru)
as well.
