wow this is great, I have been waiting for something like that (I used bottom_bar before).
However it seems like the profile pictures are not shown for the friends on my site, and the group_chat shows up but I can't seem to post any messages nor does the smily button as in your screenshot is shown.
Is there anything I need to configure?
ok the profile pictures show up for online users with a non-default profile picture it seems
Last but not least it seems like the group_chat only shows up on the main group page and not if you navigate to the discussion part of other group sub-pages.
I am still on 18.1.14 by the way (but planing to upfrade soon, no worries).
i install the pligin at my website, it is a nice plugin. how can i start agroup chat?
After I changed the permissions of the groupchat folder in the data directory to 777 and the following according to the group_chat plugin discussion the groupchat works:
Change mode '0755' to 0777
at file /mod/chat/actions/chat/process.php
// Check group chat directory. if not exist then creat else use it
$dataroot = $CONFIG->dataroot;
if(!is_dir($dataroot.'group_chat')){
mkdir($dataroot.'group_chat', 0777);
chmod($dataroot.'group_chat', 0777);
}
$groupEntityId = get_input('groupEntityId');
if(!is_dir($dataroot.'group_chat'.'/'.$groupEntityId)){
mkdir($dataroot.'group_chat'.'/'.$groupEntityId, 0777);
chmod($dataroot.'group_chat'.'/'.$groupEntityId, 0777);
}
Not sure if both is necessary and I am a bit concerned about security regarding it. Suggestions?
ok never mind the code change, it seems permission change in the data directory was sufficient
@tina1000: if you go to a group page the group chat will show up at the bottom bar, but you can only use it if you are a member of the group.
o , i see the group chat now , but the small icon, doesn't show.
do i need install group_chat plug in too ? so the chat bar will works well?
no group_chat is included no need to install it.
which small icon does not show? The "smily"? That one does not show for me either, seems to be a bug.
If you have vps or a dedicated server this chat plugin is about one of the best on elgg right now

Hi tina1000 and Krischan,
Smiley icon doesn't show because I've merged two plugin together and I did'n change icon url(http://mysite/mod/group_chat/graphics/smiley/smile.gif) ->
it should be like : http://mysite/mod/chat/graphics/smiley/smile.gif
I'm sorry about that.
I have just fixed smiley icon

@Krischan, you can change permission to 0777 but I think it not secure.
