## Usage
### Bot
You might want to talk to [[.:bot|our bot]] if you're feeling lonely ;-P
### Login
|**User**|CountryCode + PhoneNumber (eg. 4917634911387)|
|**Password**|WhatsApp password, see [[.:password|password]] for details|
|**Domain**|*example.org*|
|**Port**|5222|
|**Alias**|//not required//|
|**Ressource**|//not required//|
|**Encryption**|//activate!!!//|
### Buddies
WhatsApp does not store your contacts on their servers. Thus you need to import your contacts manually with your XMPP Client or use [[.:bot|our bot]] to Import your contacts from Google (preferred).
(In Pidgin: Menu => Buddys => Add Buddy)
Just use the same JID format as for your login:
CountryCode + PhoneNumber + "@whatsapp.example.org"
### Groups
To chat with groups you need to add them manually to your XMPP client.
To get a list of your WhatsApp groups, you can use the AutoDiscovery function of your WhatsApp client.
(In Pidgin: Menu => Buddys => Join Chat => RoomList)
When asked, use this conference server:
whatsapp.0l.de
### Smileys / Emojis
To be able to see smileys, you will need an [[https://github.com/stv0g/unicode-emoji/raw/master/symbola/Symbola.ttf|Unicode emoji font]].
When using pidgin, you might want to check out my [[https://github.com/stv0g/unicode-emoji|Unicode emoji theme]].
## Setup
I assume that you have a basic understanding of XMPP and the the concept of a XMPP component / transport. If not, please get a book about Jabber or read the standards.
transWhat is a XMPP transport. By this means it extends the functionallity of an existing XMPP server. It acts as a gateway between the XMPP and WhatsApp networks. It receives WhatsApp messages and forwards them to your XMPP client (and vice-versa).
The implementation of transWhat is based on the [Spectrum 2](http://www.spectrum.im) framework and the [Yowsup 2](https://github.com/tgalal/yowsup) library to interface with WhatsApp.
The following chart summarizes the involved components and the protocols they use to communicate.
### Prosody
##### Installation
I will not cover the installation of Prosody in this guide. Please look for some other tutorials on how to do that.
##### Configuration
The only important thing for us is the configuration of a XMPP component (Spectrum 2 in our case).
See http://prosody.im/doc/components.
Append the following at the end of `/etc/prosody/prosody.cfg.lua`
Component "whatsapp.0l.de"
component_secret = "whatsappsucks"
component_ports = { 5221 }
component_interface = "127.0.0.1"
### Spectrum 2
##### Installation
Manual compile latest version from [Github](https://github.com/hanzz/libtransport).
You can use the following guide: http://spectrum.im/documentation/installation/from_source_code.html.
##### Configuration
Create a new file `/etc/spectrum2/transports/whatsapp.cfg` with the following content:
[service]
user = spectrum
group = spectrum
jid = whatsapp.0l.de
server = localhost
password = whatsappsucks
port = 5221
backend_host = localhost
backend = /location/to/transwhat/transwhat.py
users_per_backend = 10
more_resources = 1
admin_jid = your@jid.example
[identity]
name = transWhat
type = xmpp
category = gateway
[logging]
config = /etc/spectrum2/logging.cfg
backend_config = /etc/spectrum2/backend-logging.cfg
### transWhat
##### Installation
Checkout the latest version of transWhat from GitHub:
$ git clone git@github.com:stv0g/transwhat.git
Install required dependencies:
$ pip install --pre e4u protobuf python-dateutil
- **e4u**: is a simple emoji4unicode python bindings
- [**yowsup**](https://github.com/tgalal/yowsup): is a python library that enables you build application which use WhatsApp service.
##### Configuration
Then create a new file called `constants.py` in the newly checked out transWhat Git repository:
BASE_PATH = "/location/to/transwhat"
TOKEN_FILE = BASE_PATH + "/logs/tokens"
MOTD_FILE = BASE_PATH + "/conf/motd"
REQUESTS_FILE = BASE_PATH + "/logs/requests"
