Hey Todd, *Assuming Presence based on whether or not geolocation data is published,* might not work in my case. The publisher has more than one status in available mode and the subscriber should know what status the Publisher is in. The Publisher can be dnd, idle, away etc. Depending on the Publisher's status, the handling of geolocation data varies.
So, any suggestions on how to achieve this? /andy On Wed, Nov 28, 2012 at 7:01 PM, Todd Herman <t...@apx-labs.com> wrote: > > From: pubsub-boun...@xmpp.org [mailto:pubsub-boun...@xmpp.org] On > Behalf Of andy nes > > Sent: Wednesday, November 28, 2012 5:15 AM > > To: pubsub@xmpp.org; Jabber/XMPP software development list > > Subject: [PubSub] Presence information of Publishers, for Subscribers > > > Hi, > > > Setup: > > I have setup a pubsub service wherein the publishers publish geolocation > data at regular intervals. > > > The subscribers receive the location data of the publishers. > > > The subscribers are not presence subscribed, in the sense, the > subscribers are not in the publishers rosters. > > > Problem: > > The subscribers need to know the presence status of publishers. > > > Is there a way for the subscribers to know the presence status of > publishers? > > In order to receive presence from the publishing entity, the subscribing > entity must be in the publishing entities roster and subscribed to receive > presence notifications. > > May I enquire what the underlying reason is that the subscribers need to > know the presence of the publishers?
