Use Buddy Chat

Buddy Chat does this for Drupal 4.7. A temporary solution would be to port it to other Drupal versions.

Shyamala,

You may be able to do it with phpfreechat. I haven't tried one-one chat with the module myself but you can do it with standalone phpfreechat.

Also the support on the phpfreechat is excellent at the moment and the developers will be able to help with any questions and requests.

Hi Shyamala,

           Am also using Phpfreechat.But in siteconfiguration it shows this error:

 ->phpFreeChat script is not found.
    Before you can use this module you must download the script from http://www.phpfreechat.net/ and extract in to the /sites/all/modules/phpfreechat/phpfreechat directory on your web server.

See INSTALL.txt for more details.
->The settings have not been saved because of the errors.

     can you please tell me the details of phpfreechat.i need the option of one to one chat module. do u know if someother else. very urgently i need the details.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Roopa

I too am searching for a one-to-one chat module.

I can't see how phpfreechat provides this abbility...

The closest i've got is buddy chat + buddylist. but I can't get that working.

Has anyone succedded in this?

Me again...

Now i kinda gave up on buddy chat (there is this issue)

So I tried the ajaxIM project.

Version 1.x-dev supplied results (and beautiful ones i must say!) but has serious bugs (and can only serve about 10 online users).
Version 2.x-dev - I can't get that one to work right... (more about that here).

Anyone out there has any ideas? knows something I don't know?

Has anyone got one-to-one chat working smoothly on a drupal-5 site?!

Need an external chat program

You need to find a module which implements some sort of external chat program, because the overhead of serving the chats through Drupal is too much.

There is a script I have tried out before called 'Flash Chat' which seemed to run pretty smoothly, and I think allows for external authentication. You could probably have it use the Drupal $_SESSION to check to see if anyone is online, and I think it also allows for 1vs1 chats.

That being said, you'd need to build it into your site and create your own module for it.
