How to set different message interval for muc(Multi-User Chat) on ejabberd?

Question

I want to set different message interval for some muc(Multi-User Chat) in ejabberd. I know min_message_interval option for all muc. But I want set different interval for some muc. For example, I want create a room(muc room) which min message interval is 1 message per second. and another room message interval is 5 message per second. Is this possible and how?

Edit your post to explain this: What do you mean when you say "some muc"? Do you mean "a conference service like "conference.example.org"? Or do you mean a muc room like "[email protected]"? — Badlop
I want create a room(muc room) which min message interval is 1 message per second. and another room message interval is 5 message per second. I just know the option min_message_interval can control message interval, but this option is global and valid for all rooms. thanks for you answer @Badlop — holic

The option min_message_interval is defined for the whole mod_muc service, so it doesn't help for your purpose. And the rooms do not have an equivalent option that you could set per-room.

The good news is that I found a dirty solution: use an existing room option for your purposes...

First: You would need to download ejabberd source code (recent 21.04 version) and apply this patch:

diff --git a/src/mod_muc_room.erl b/src/mod_muc_room.erl

     MinPresenceInterval =
    trunc(mod_muc_opt:min_presence_interval(StateData#state.server_host) * 1000),
     Key = jid:tolower(JID),

Recompile ejabberd, install, and start.
Now change a room configuration using a jabber client, or using "ejabberdctl change_room_option". Concretely change the option voice_request_min_interval. Each room can have a different value...
ejabberd will use that option to determine the minimum message interval, instead of the mod_muc option.
