What do you mean by VCard Data?

It could be related to https://github.com/conversejs/converse.js/issues/1455

Do you have it with sib-chat-next too ?

I mean that if I update my profile, the other users still have a cached version of my profile as it was before I edited it.

I haven't tested out the new chat yet. I do it, I do it.

This issue should be rewritten to be more specific, and discussed with Matthew to find out the best solution and how much Prosody is involved in that solution.

It seems this issue may be fixed by https://github.com/conversejs/converse.js/issues/1455 as pointed out by @jbpasquier The fix went into Converse 5.0.0. Does it still re-occur in the latest client.

I don't think it will involve Prosody and @MattJ as vCard data is fetched on demand and that seems to be working. It looks like Converse fails to actually fetch in certain situations

Staging is down right now, but I test ASAP

@dele, @MattJ: If I update a user's avatar, I have to clear the cache of the app otherwise the avatar is never loaded.

Had a chat with Dele about this, and we agreed it's a server-side issue. Usually in XMPP the client will inform everyone about vCard updates (by including a hash in their presence).

In our setup here, the server is automatically managing the vCard for the user - so it should be the server's responsibility to inform clients when it changes.

(This is mostly a note to myself...) Essentially we need to add XEP-0153 support to mod_happydev_vcard, there already exists code in Prosody 0.11's mod_vcard_legacy that can be reused.

It's probably a day of work including testing.
