Sorry for the late reply badlop..
It worked for me! Thanks

No bugs so far, I'll report them if I found one.

I'm concerned though about the output during patching.."Hunk #1 FAILED at 4087.", or should I just ignore that?

root@im-test:~/ejabberd-2.1.8/src# patch -p 506 < 506-displayhost.diff 
can't find file to patch at input line 16
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?

Only 506-displayhost.diff

The patch only modifies the file mod_shared_roster.erl You can get that file from ejabberd source code, apply the patch to the file, compile the file, copy the result beam to your current installation, and restart ejabberd.

Thanks for the response.

Same response that in the

Same response that in the ejabberd mailing list:

I've uploaded a new patch to
https://support.process-one.net/browse/EJAB-506
that supports the syntax groupid@vhost in displayed_groups.

That patch would allow this to work:
In domain1 create the group ma with some members and display: hr it@domain2
In domain1 create the group hr with some members and display: ma it@domain2
In domain2 create the group it with member: @all@ and display:
ma@domain1 hr@domain1
You will have to constantly add members to ma and hr.

Or more automatic:
In domain1 create the group mahr with member: @all@ and display: it@domain2
In domain2 create the group it with member: @all@ and display: mahr@domain1
