Folks;
first, sorry if I am filling the wrong place with user questions but to me this seems the only place to post these; most of the other means of contacts listed in the community wiki [1] seem not active or existent anymore... :(
Questions: We use an openfire server internally, for user-to-user communication and for one or two chat groups for communicating "important" things the whole team needs to know.
(1) In user-to-user chat, I have gajim configured to pop up a new window whenever a new message comes in, which is just how I want. With the team window minimized or hidden however, I regularly miss messages because I haven't found any way to make the group chat window come up whenever there's any activity in there. Is there a way to configure this behaviour?
(2) In the group chat, important messages usually get lost among loads of "user <xy> has joined the group" and "user <yz> has left the group". Can the group chat be configured to suppress such messages? They aren't of much use but greatly distract from actual content... ;)
Thanks in advance and all the best, Kristian
I second the last point: even with the individual chat, if the users keep their chat windows open while they are away, the actual messages become lost due to large volume of "user has gone offline" and "user has come online" log entries. On many occasions I asked someone in the afternoon "did you receive my message in the morning?" and they did not know I messaged them.

Try to install the trigger plugin. You can configure several things there about this kind of behaviour.

There are 2 advanced options to control that: show_status_in_muc / show_status_in_chats

Great, that seems to be pretty much what I was looking for. Seems astoundingly powerful, I'll see how far I get with this. :)

Looking at my configuration, I just have print_status_in_muc/_chat around. I suppose these are the ones you mean? I'm on 0.16 off the Ubuntu 15.04 package repo. :)
Thanks again and all the best, Kristian
