Moodle 2.0



Jabber is one of the messaging output plugins (one-way). Output messaging plugins allow delivery of messages to the user when certain events occur (such as assignment notifications, subscribed forum posts, etc.). These plugins are installed in moodle/message/output.

The core messaging output plugins are :

  • email
  • Jabber
  • popup


Individual users can choose to be contacted via Jabber or other messaging plugins for various notification types and depending on whether they're online or offline Moodle. They do so by visiting their profile page and clicking on the Messaging link in the Settings block.
