Chat

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.

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

Is anyone using Talkinator with or without Drupal integration? I read about it in I, Cringely and would love to hear people's experience with it.

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

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.

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.

is drupal community module works fine.
will it be possible for integarating it with other social community networks like orkut ro face book.
is it possible?

An urgent requirement to create a one to one chat interface, any suggestions as to how we could proceed?

Thanks

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?

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?

Now that there is serious interest in contributing to this effort, it’s time to produce a unified road map for all chat projects. To make it easier to track updates to the road map, please post a comment here to announce any significant change. This is the only way others can be notified (there is no notification when a Wiki page is updated).

Chat Room now has its own API reference at chatroom.darren.oh.name. It's just like api.drupal.org, but with Chat Room and related modules included so you can study how the Chat Room code interacts with Drupal and other modules. You can also compare code from different versions of Chat Room. Changes to the development version appear on the site within an hour.

I recently installed the chatblock module on my site, but it does not automatically refresh when you hit submit, and you have to refresh the browser to show updates. Is this being worked on at all, or is there going to be another way to implement a small, ajax-based shoutbox-style chatblock on my site?

I'd like to have a native Drupal chat solution on my site but the chatroom module seems so complicated. All I want is one page with one site-wide chat with everyone in the same room. I'd like a block to go along with this to say who's chatting so I can see if someone joins when I'm not looking at that tab. Anyone working on something like this? I don't have the js/flash/ajax/dohicky skills to make it myself, unfortunately, so I'm hoping there's one somewhere that I'm just not seeing. Otherwise I guess I'll go with PHPFreechat if it ever gets updated as that's the closest to what I want.

Hi,

IO1 recently retained Stéphane Gully (creator of phpfreechat) to update the current phpfreechat module. Phpfreechat version 1 will be released very soon probably pre drupalcon. To go with this Stéphane has already sent the patchs to update the phpfreechat module to the maintainer for review and hopefully we will be able to get this submitted asap.

I know this is not as good as a full blown chat module but it was the quickest way we could see to get a decent chat up and running, anyway just thought I would let you know as early as possible.

Hi,

So after reading the project plan page, I decided to implement a basic chat interface for comments. What it does is attach itself to any node that has comments enabled and provide an ajax interface for posting and receiving comments. It works as a block that you can place in the sidebar, or by navigating to node/24/chat_comment it will give a full page version of the chat.

I just recognized that there are three modules besides phpfreechat that claim to provide chatting features for a Drupal site. After a quick look at Buddy Chat, Chat Box and Chat Room I wasn't able to understand the differences between those modules.

Now that there is serious interest in contributing to this effort, it’s time to produce a unified road map for all chat projects. Chat Box has been retired. Chat Room is to be succeeded by a chat API which Chatblock, Buddy Chat, and other modules can use. Here are the plans:

Hey everyone...

Just wanted to give you guys a heads up in case you didn't know about it... but I've just been blown away by a social networking widget this weekend called "Stickam" .... Basically, anyone with a webcam can now embed streaming live video into a website...

http://www.stickam.com

This site is currently dominated by the myspace / teenage crowd, but the potential applications are fairly mindboggling.

They've got free radio broadcasting in the works... I'm sure it doesn't scale like icecast, but still... for a small site... it could be fantastic.
