chatroom 6.x-2 beta is ready for testing

the first beta for the development branch of chatroom module is now ready for testing.

compared to the current stable branch, this beta is faster and more feature complete. the focus now is on fixing remaining bugs, updating documentation, creating an upgrade path and making the UI nicer. beta-testers are very welcome to help shake out bugs, and any users with a 6.x-1 data set that can help with testing the upgrade path are especially welcome :-)

new features for the 6.x-2 branch:

  • private chats
  • chat invites

    second 6.x-2.0-alpha chatroom release is up!

    the second alpha of the drupal 6 development branch of the chatroom module is ready to go. this is a big update. many, many bugs fixed from 6.x-2.0-alpha1, and some nice new features. this branch now has more features than the 6.x-1.0 branch, and although its a long way from stable, is now a lot less likely to kill your kittens.

    this is ready for wider testing, but not yet for production use, and there no upgrade path from the 6.x-1.0 branch yet.

    new development release of the chatroom is now up:

    http://drupal.org/node/70707/release

    do not use this yet on a production site, because it may eat your site and kill your kittens.

    you have been warned.

    new features, which are pretty much all under the hood:

    <

    ul>

  • much code clean up
  • chats are now nodes, and posting a message to a chat should honour the node access settings for the node. hello OG integration
  • all cache misses use the menu system

    Chatroom question

    I just installed the chatroom module (version 5.x-1.9) on a client site, and thus far it seems nice - very simple to set up and use.

    Except for one thing: I can't figure out how to END a chat on it, or delete one. If you start a chat, it shows up in a list of "Open chats in this room", but there doesn't seem to be any way to close it or otherwise make it go away. I'd like to be able to delete the test chat I created to try it out, but can't find a way to do that.

    Chat Module

    Hi Guys,

    Can anyone recommend me a good chat solution for Drupal 6. I am trying to evaluate different solutions like DimDim, 123FlashChat Server, avchat(avchat.com)..

    Has anyone used any of these solutions.. Will U recommend any?

    I will be using this for a Learning Management solution. I would like to host online presentations, do whiteboarding, have the ability to control the time the chat sessions are on; All chat sessions will need to be stored and indexed for later retrieval. I will be using the apache solr module. That part seems to work fine.

    Integrating a Live Support/Chat System Into Drupal

    Hi all,

    I'm starting a new site that will be using a 3rd party live support system. I haven't select a vendor yet.

    I've been looking at the various chat modules and it doesn't seem like any of them work with live support chatting -- where a user can initiate a chat and one of a number of "operators" can answer it.

    I'm just wondering if anyone knows of any modules that do support this type of system?

    And if not, do you think any of the current modules that might come close to the functionality of a live support system

    Instant messaging for logged-in users

    Hi,

    Sorry for crossposting (see http://drupal.org/node/328100) but I didn't get any replies on the d.org forum.

    I'm searching for the best solution to provide 1-to-1 instant messaging functionality to logged-in users. My wishlist:
    - a block with logged-in users (that's the easy part)
    - when you click on a user, a chat window opens (no additional actions like login, create nickname, create chatroom etc.)
    - when you send a message, it shows up on the screen of the other user
    - not dependant on other accounts like msn, icq
    - chats are 1-to-1; closed and invisible for others

    Community Discussion/Chat Facility

    Hi everyone,

    I'm trying to host a meeting between a dozen or so members of my site next week.

    At it's most basic, we want to be able to have an irc/skype type discussion, with everyone being able to make text-based contributions.

    It seems like there's no stable way to do this through Drupal, with Chatroom being the most likely candidate but too unstable for important meetings (is it unfair of me to say that?). I'm looking into integrating flashchat but haven't gone down that route yet.

    Chat + Media Player!!!

    So had a brainstorm, and I'll volunteer to get this rolling, as I'm working on both modules.

    As the chatroom api is developed, I'd like to tap into it for the Drupal Media Player. That would open up live chats in the player, ala ustream, but tied to the Drupal user db.

    Just putting that out there. This is brainstorm fodder for the future, and I probably won't have time to work on that idea (which will be after both are mature) until later this winter.

    State of Chat?

    What is the current best solution to get a simple chat in a block? I tried chatroom, which I really liked, but when I try creating a "view" in a block, it gets all screwy. I'd next consider phpfreechat, but its warnings about jquery scare me off. I guess a third party solution is the next option?

    Thanks,

    How to add custom bad word filter?

    I want to add specific message filter to chat. This filter checks message from user. If message does not fit rules then error message is appeared on chat page, original message is left in input field and is not shown in chat.

    I already have filter function. This function gets message string and returns error message. If error message is empty then user`s message fits rules.

    Please, explain me how to add this filter to Chat Room module? Is it possible? Is it difficult? In what function or line of code I should add filter call?
