Contributors Thanked: 10 times	Hi there, I want to create a new chat plugin, because I did not find a good one that I can use... But before I go off and develop this huge monster.. (it is a lot off coding) Are there any good chat plugins (I saw esclkm Mini-chat (Shoutbox), but It wasn't what I want) I want a kind off Skype like app (With private chat's and chat rooms) Options like: friend list with online status (with colours) add friends (registered users off course) autocleaning table (limited chat history) separate windows for chats (rooms/private) only text and smilies, nothing more Any advice/help/coments/remarks on how to build such an app is appreciated... By the way: I do not want : irc, flash I want plain (mean and lean) php with Ajax in the driver seat... If I am going to continue building this app, this will be a nice one I have worked out some raw details and layouts and already I am making the basic setup. greetz ==- I say: Keep it EZ -==

Hi there,

I want to create a new chat plugin, because I did not find a good one that I can use...
But before I go off and develop this huge monster.. (it is a lot off coding)

Are there any good chat plugins (I saw esclkm Mini-chat (Shoutbox), but It wasn't what I want)
I want a kind off Skype like app (With private chat's and chat rooms)

Options like:

friend list with online status (with colours)
add friends (registered users off course)
autocleaning table (limited chat history)
separate windows for chats (rooms/private)
only text and smilies, nothing more

Any advice/help/coments/remarks on how to build such an app is appreciated...

By the way: I do not want : irc, flash
I want plain (mean and lean) php with Ajax in the driver seat...

If I am going to continue building this app, this will be a nice one

I have worked out some raw details and layouts and already I am making the basic setup.

Administrators Thanked: 263 times	I'd really really recommend integrating an existing AJAX PHP chat rather than writing your own. I had a phpFreeChat integration for Seditio a while ago, which is now far out of date and does not work anymore. May the Source be with you!

Contributors Thanked: 12 times	Can you link that chat script? Added 2 minutes later: nevermind, found it.

Contributors Thanked: 10 times	Thanks for the link, I will investigate the internals off this script. I was hoping for some more links... but hey any info is OK. I probably end up making it myself... Because i did not find anything really usefull YET. ==- I say: Keep it EZ -==

Administrators Thanked: 263 times	I think, there is no lack of existing chat scripts. May the Source be with you!

Contributors Thanked: 12 times	Trustmaster, the Blueimp chat looks VERY promising: https://blueimp.net/ajax/ I have seen it in action, integrated in SMF - it's a blast! It also has a shoutbox functionality which can be added to a site. Also, there are many integrations already done to that script (SMMF, phpBB, PunBB...) - it has a nice integration API. I would write an integration, but I think it would take me like 10x more time than you (I'm just starting OO php). Can you make an integration, Trustmaster? Just take a look at it: I think it would be easy for you, really. (Because as I'm looking at it, I think that after a day or two I would figure it out, so judging my php skills and your skills, you would do it in no time)

Team	Maybe use something like this and make a plug of it Facebook Style jQuery Chat.

Contributors Thanked: 12 times	I made it work with Cotonti, autologin works. Now I have to change the plugin that shows online users and it will be fully functional... Maybe I'll change config a bit...
