I've been using Flashchat for a long time and used it mostly with my phpnuke installs. But now that I've been switching communities over to Elgg (because it's awesome!) I've wanted to give the users back FlashChat.
I'd like to know if anyone has any thoughts on where to start integration? Or how I could get it to throw the usernames and such at the flash chat. If someone could help out with a little knowledge I'd appreciate it and I'd put the finished plugin up for everyone. I'm sure it would help the community as well.

You must log in to post replies.What I've found on another site was this... I do have some code, but I don't know how to post it here without the formatting being ruined. :( I'm at a bit of a loss, though since Elgg seems to use a lot of jumping back and forth through files... So, I'm not completely sure why it doesn't work or how to force it to. It might be a start, though. I'm still pretty new to Elgg myself.
I'm afraid I can't help you.
I tried for a long time integrating flashchat, but gave up and used Ajax Chat instead.
Much easier to integrate.
I would too, but I need the audio and webcam features.

Not give up hope yet ;-) *anything can be done with the right frame of mind and believe me here - we have coded minor code "miracles" before. If you want to pursue this elusive "Tufat Flashchat" - send me a PM and we take further detailed discussions offline until TuFat/Elgg can become alive ;-)
@ Dhrup Thanks I'll try that out. If there's a way you could let me know how to post code I've a lot of code I'd like to share, but don't know what the code tags here are.
BAH! *laughs* So, it's html for the code. Cool. I shouldn't do these things when I'm tired. >.<
@Dhrup Will do. I sent you a message. It's still a learning process for me with Elgg, but it would be great to release this for everyone. I know that a lot of people like that flashchat because it's only a few dollars. But to have it with Elgg would be a dream come true.
Have there been any updates with integrating flash chat and ELGG? Did a search and this came up so I will keep looking but I do not see it in the MODS anywhere. I have to agree, the flexibility of FlashChat with Elgg would seem to be an ideal match.
