Any updates on this plugin
Yes, it was possible for users not logged in to access the chat (see Bretts comment to the previous version).
btw actually there *is* an icon marking admins next to the nicks :)
o cool , i am updating right now
I still dont see the admin icon. is there a way to make it a diffrent color for admins
Any chance this plugin could open the chat in a new browser window so the users can still navigate through the site?
Thanks!
Oh, also, can the plugin be configurable without editing the source? Things like the default chat room?
Thanks!
well, both points are good and will be included in my next release.
greetings
Great! Thank you! I look forward to the next release :-)
This might be out of the scope of your plugin, but would it be possible to use MySQL instead of files? Or perhaps the better question would be which is more scalable as a community grows? Just curious :-)
already there is a way to use phpfreechat with mysql (google helps), but maybe I will provide some options to customize it via elgg's admin interface..
greetings
Hello Felix!
I had some Ideas to make your great plugin even better. Could you create additional profile menu item to invite the user to the chat and some kind of notification on the topbar (like new messages and friend-request) when invited?
It would be great if you can do it some day : )
This is a great plugin I have been using it on my site now for almost a month with no problems at all Elgg V1.1 and 1.2 and plugin chat versions 1.1 and 1.2
1 Questions are there any themes or skins floating around for this
Thanks good wok on this
I'm working on the next release. In the new version you'll be able to choose the theme in the admin interface. There are few standard themes, but there are a lot of themes out there (themes for phpfreechat)
greetings
Felix, is there a way to connect the name to the elgg profile page. for instance if i am chatting with a person name Ash, it would be nice if we could just click on the name and open a new page with the elgg profile
is this the latest chat plugin? or there is a new version?
hi, is posible customize this chat to chating with a group of members
thanks
hello, is there a new version of this plugin? foe elgg1.8.5 ?
thanks
