My Friends pop out menu v1.1
Release Notes
This is my first pluging for elgg so I hope you like it. Lending from Prashant Juvekar FeedBack Form. This simple pluging sits on the side of your page and expands out to show a list of your friends who are online and active. Each friend is linked back to your email box composer with that users ID so you can quick message them by email.
This is a low CPU alternitive to chat services.
May the Shwartz be with you!
Also need to give credit to The Mad Professor for a snipplet of code I pulled from his chat bar.
Version 1.1 feature change
- Pluging now only reveals it's self after the user login.

Screenshots will be great
Hi Cubert,
I tried it, works well, although i was thinking in very similar lines lately, have you though about embedding an IRC webchat ? This would enable full chat, and at the same time not load the server.
One example with ads is www.mibbit.com, or a free one from Freenode, webchat.freenode.net.
I'm thinking having a bar, and when clicking, it will slide the single-room chat box.

Great job, working fine as of now in my website with Elgg1.6.1.
Could you give a screenshot, please?
Awesome... :) Works great with 1.6.1...
Uddhava,
That is a good idea, I need a scaliable 1 to 1 private chat (messenger style) service that can run 1000+ chats an hour with out effecting web server. I needs to be cheap enough to be viable on a shoe string budget. Most of all it has to be easy to install and get running from a admin's perspective.
P.s
Screen Shots uploaded.
I will be releasing 1 more minor set of update (mainly CSS stuff) in a day or so after I get some feedback(no pun intended Prashant) from my user base.
Hi Cubert,
I just uploaded an IRC chat plugin, check it out, pretty simple, but maybe if we combine this plugin with the IRC chat, we can show which users are on the chat page, or something like that.
Please check it out and lets see if we come up with good ideas.
Regards,
Uddhava dasa

^^Any help on this??
Sam1,
I suppect it is a CSS issue. I would try moving the plugin around in load order then look at moving the widget to another area of the screen via the css provided in the myfriends plugin.
Gang,
I was going to upload a 1.2 version but the only changes are the size of the pop-out box. went from 400px to 250px. Found this to be better and less obtrusive on page. So to be up to 1.2 standards please edit css in myfriends to adjust box size to what every you like.
waiting for more enhancement for this great plugin
awesome plugin ^__^
@Cubert nice plugin but there's a flaw. when you click on a friend's name, the send message url is wrong. it should be this:
pg/messages/compose/?send_to=$IDhere
and what you have is:
mod/messages/send.php?send_to=$IDhere
so yeah, it's a just a simple fix but other than that, it looks great.
