chat

Please tell me protocol used by QTChat module for establishing chat .

Now available: a drop-dead simple way for LA DRUPAL members to jump into our group's official live IRC chat room. No installation needed! Just click the "Chat with us" link available in the top-left block of our group's main page (groups.drupal.org/LA). This make it super easy for all members. It's perfect for daytime work, getting to learn Drupal from local peers, idle chat box for local meetups & other events. You can even bookmark the URL for quick access anytime, and the link works on mobile devices too.

In case you don't want to spend too much time with any Drupal chat / support system configuration and development, you can use some external application. Advantage of this solution is, that it is faster to configure and all perfomance needs handles external server. Disadvantage is costs, of course.

But, it is easy to calculate what is best for you.

In last time I spent much hours with helpdesk tool, which I really like - Live Agent.

the drupal 7 port of the chatroom module is under way:

please follow that issue if you can help with code or testing.

this port will lay the basis for integrating node.js as a backend for chatroom.

Cyberhus.dk is a Danish 100% non-profit organisation founded in 2004 as a partner charity under the youth charity, Ungdommens Vel (Youth Welfare). The website is built as a “virtual house” that offers online counseling for vulnerable children and teens (age 12-18). Counseling is undertaken mainly by volunteer chat-counselors, all with relevant educational backgrounds.

We are planning a redesign of our chat software and have agreed to ask the Open Source Community for guidance and help in the planning and development of this software.

Overview - This project will focus on integrating node.js and DrupalChat modules functionality to Chatroom module. This project is planned for Drupal 7.

Description - This project will further enhance the Chatroom module and add the following features to it.

• Add support for different transport backends to chatroom module.
• Integrate current chatroom functionality with node.js.
• Integrate Drupalchat module functionality into chatroom module.

Hi

I want to integrate node.js or ajax push engine to Drupalchat and port it to Drupal 7 as part of GSoC 2011. I want to know the views of the Drupal community on this. Will it be helpful? If yes, then I will prepare a detailed outline and post it here. Any suggestions will be highly appreciated.

EDIT - this issue is now defunct, superseded by:

http://groups.drupal.org/node/137754

The chatroom module needs a D7 upgrade.

As maintainer of that module and the nodejs.module, i'd like to see chatroom ported to D7 and integrated with nodejs.

I'm happy to mentor the process.

Hi! I'm new here ,at the Drupal community. My name is Alex, i'm a web developer from Russia. i decided to start developing my first Drupal module which implements Facebook Chat client. i'll be glad if someone wants to collaborate. And also i would appreciate if you give me some good advices to start.

P.S. Sorry for my English))

I am thinking of making a chat module that would not require any external server or service to function, similar to http://drupal.org/project/chatroom. I don't like chatroom's way of doing things so I want to develop a new module. My desired result would a be a user to user chat very similar to gmail and facebook. I am thinking of integrating in with AppBar to make development easier as per this discussion, http://drupal.org/node/609884. Any suggestions or comments? Does anyone have a decent user to user chat that runs well without requiring an external service?
