Ey!!! Thanks.... i try it...

there is already a plugin called bottom bar for the same purpose. Why did u make this one?

bottom bar plugin lags the shit out of your server, believe me, i've tried it. ajaxim is lightweight, i'll try this one out

Thanks for this - i'll test it out, i'd like to replace bottom_bar eventually for the same reason @Cim stated.

What do you mean by productive sites?

@zenin: There is buttom bar - too slow; beechat/xmmp chat -  cool but not working for me; toska - full of AD - thats the reason. And productive site means you should use it on your test/dev page instead of the page with your real users

@survtime;Cim: Thank you. But remember - AjaxIM itself (server and js-client) is still in a alpha release and very buggy. When ajaxim will be updated i going to update this plugin too.

@christian is the plugin based on ajax im's 4.0a version?

its based on the latest git source from https://github.com/endtwist/AjaxIM

There are a lot of changes between the actual 4.0a and the current code

Get the server from the git repository- thats important!

how do i download

wget -O ajaxim-latest.tar.gz https://github.com/endtwist/AjaxIM/tarball/master 

on vista?

@martinez that's a linux command, not a windows command.

@martinez:

• Get Git for windows http://git-scm.com/
• In the Command Prompt (or git bash) type "git clone https://github.com/endtwist/AjaxIM.git"
• Done!

I have my hosting in arvixe. Can I install this plugin?

I want it !!!!

@gastre: I don't know... and keep in mind... it's not stable, it's buggy and not working on every browser. Ajaxim is still under heavy development.

@Christian thank you !!!

ajaxim hasn't been updated in a very long time.

someone found a problem with the plug-in?

@poppler: Yes: AjaxIM is still in alpha state. Don't use it on your Live Website.

As soon as it's getting stable, i'll update the plugin.

Just a point that should be made clear.  Any chat application aimed at potentially hundreds or thousands of people (and then some!) will more than likely cause "lag" on any site, regardless of which type of account it's hosted on (shared, vps or dedicated).  Maybe bottom bar causes this more than others when a site has a lot of users using it simultaneously (ie. the sites peak time), I'm still setting my site up so can't comment on that, however, it doesn't change the fact that any site-wide interactive app will slow down a site regardless of how lightweight it is.  Not having a go at anyone, honest :-), just felt that this point should be made clear to those expecting their site to always fly at lightning speed then wonder why it doesn't.

That said, since this plugin is only for vps or dedicated servers mr. average joe here with his shared account will have to stick with one of the alternate plugins... ;-p  Keep up the work though as one day I may come looking for this plugin :-D

Any updates on this? What is the next step to finish this plugin. How can I help?

Ah I figured it out myself at least partly.

If you follow the github install instructions you need to fix some problems in the ajaxim source code.

1) edit ajaxim/server/app.js and change all instances of bodyDecoder to bodyParser

2) edit ajaxim/server/app.js and change all instances of cookieDecoder to cookieParser

Doesn' t work on 1.7.8

The authenticate/elgg/index.js tries to perform an action but it is not signed. This can't possibly work in elgg 1.7.x.

I am checking out if i can modify this to work on 1.7.

Ajaxim was partialy abandoned. But theres is a fork called ajaximrpg with constants updates. Maybe you can adapt your plugin to this fork.

I need a light chat system same as facebook has in the right side of footer, is this plugin is the same as facebook chat?

I don't want to use  evnix, that worked for me but made my site very slow :(

I want chat bar like that for my elgg 1.8.8, please friends help me if there is any chat like facebook on the elgg, let me know.

Many thanks in advance,
