Ajax Chat (prototype)

Description (Last modified by lemon-head)

to get some progress in the chat discussion, someone who is interested can build a prototype, and present it to the others in our forum. Prototyping can happen in different stages. The first prototypes can be completely independent from the rox codebase, so nothing can be damaged -> freedom to play.

current testing report on the java based chat on BW http://www.bevolunteer.org/forum/index.php?topic=269.msg9058#msg9058

I think the best would be something - XMPP/Jabber

  • based on plain AJAX/Javascript, so no java or flash inside.
  • ideally, it would be connected to an irc channel.
  • if you find third-party software: great. some have been mentioned in

the forum discussion already, don't know if they do what we need.

RSS Feed on a Website/Blog/normal Page where the History of the Channel gets recorded.

See the proposals in this forum thread:

We could easily introduce an AJAX-chat that leads to a lot more communication between our fellows. How? Have a look at this tutorial:

http://www.ajaxprojects.com/ajax/tutorialdetails.php?itemid=9

Just implement this, make it available in the page.php template, create another function to activate and deactivate the chat for a user (so that it doesn't affect the usability) and we have a great new tool on our website!

I admit that it wouldn't be a valid Jabber/IRC chat like this. It would just serve the people currently available on BeWelcome.org

[4642] - very basic version.

TODO: sanitize input, prevent sql injection!

TODO: update only those messages which are new.

So far I set myself as owner, but it would not hurt if someone else takes over.

04/28/08 11:35:11 changed by lemon-head

oops.. we have no db tables for the chat. I will add that later.

04/28/08 11:37:42 changed by lemon-head

[4643] - here we go, db is up.

04/30/08 10:28:46 changed by lemon-head

TODO: detect when the user is logged out while having the chat window open, and do sth meaningful.

05/04/08 18:53:21 changed by lemon-head

[4687] - new preview version, using the new built-in ajax/json support of our framework.

Things that should be fixed now:

  • update only those messages which are new.
  • lookback time can be [test.bewelcome.org/ajaxchat/days days], [test.bewelcome.org/ajaxchat/days weeks], [test.bewelcome.org/ajaxchat/days months] or [test.bewelcome.org/ajaxchat/forever forever]

Other things mentioned above are still to be implemented.
