Chat

This group should probably have more organizers. See documentation on this recommendation.

The Drupal Chat group hosts discussions of real-time chat development.

Community Discussion/Chat Facility

Posted by halfiranian on October 19, 2008 at 9:01am

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!!!

Posted by aaron on October 15, 2008 at 5:25pm

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?

Posted by aaron on March 17, 2008 at 8:58pm

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?

Posted by megafanat@drupal.ru on January 17, 2008 at 9:13am

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?

Track road map updates

Posted by darren oh on November 28, 2007 at 12:12am

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).

New API Reference and Demo Sites

Posted by darren oh on November 26, 2007 at 10:56pm

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.

Chatblock Module - Any Work Being Done?

Posted by BDaggerhart on November 2, 2007 at 6:40pm

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?

Anyone working on a simple chat module?

Posted by michelle on September 18, 2007 at 7:12pm

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.

Phpfreechat update

Posted by Fintan on September 10, 2007 at 12:50am

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.

Where to post code?

Posted by zirafa on February 22, 2007 at 6:40pm

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.

Module Merger

Posted by sun on February 11, 2007 at 3:53pm

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.

Note: After editing this wiki page, please track your changes.

I have turned Chat Room over to the original developer. I have committed a Drupal 7 Chat module, but have not had time to work on it for a while. Specifically, user status tracking is incomplete. Here are the plans for the currently dormant Chat project:

stickam: Flash Video Chat with an API

Posted by ajwwong on December 27, 2006 at 3:41am

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
http://labs.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.
