Chat rooms in mod_group are displayed as user

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
use mod_group and add a chat room (in the form of 
room_name@conference.jabber.myserver.test.local) to the groups_file.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The Chatroom should be visible as chatroom but instead it shows up as a user. 
If you open a chat to the user, you can chat with it. In pidgin a "get info" 
for this chat room shows all logged in users in the chat as resource.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
prosody 0.8.2-4+deb7u2

Hi, thanks for the report.

I'm afraid this is not how chatrooms work in XMPP, they do not belong in the 
user's contact list. It would only confuse every XMPP client (as you have 
discovered).

If you want to make rooms easily available to groups of users, see 
mod_group_bookmarks in prosody-modules: 
https://code.google.com/p/prosody-modules/wiki/mod_group_bookmarks

Note however that Pidgin does not support XMPP bookmarks without installing a 
plugin. Most other popular clients support it ok (Gajim, Swift, Psi, etc.).

Hope this helps!
