Plugin proposition

Created 594 days ago
Share this idea:

Plugin's name: Vasco_Chat

ELGG needs decent internal chat mod.

It needs:

  • Topbar link.
  • Its own page that shows friends to visitors & everyone online to the admin.
  • A popup window for whoever you want to talk to with a 'Sorry I'm busy' option as well as the usual 'Chat Now'
  • An audible alert that you are being asked to chat with an option to change the sound file.

Anyone disagree?

Type of request: Plugin

State of the plugin: Waiting For Development

Jim,

we're currently working on a chat server for a client. We will ask him wether he agrees for us to publish this work.

 

I've also created a cometchat integration in the past, though cometchat has a commercial licence 90$/site. This plugin was comatible with Elgg 1.6, it would have to be rebuilt to 1.7 and new jQuery.

Jim, after a while client decided to go with the cometchat. Other chat solutions were not as good as this one. We have a ready cometchat integration if required (it can be used on HTML pages).

Chris, you can view the full specification of cometchat on cometchat.com. The cometchat has cleaner code, it's guaranteed to be supported by the cometchat team. It also has a few additional features in pro version, eg. the videochat. The main cost is a licence (from 49$ to 499$, based on the features). I just sent you the cost of our code via PM.

djSupport, please note the Cometchat licence is not offered by us, it's a third party licence. We can't influence price of the code in any way.

No I meant your code to integrate it into elgg!

djSupport, our price of the integration code is much lower than Cometchat licence's price.

 

We're a commercial company and as such we have to have paid-for services. If you want to save money, you don't have to use our commercial plugins.

 

We also release free plugins to the community, as well as provide free support. You may search for them on Elgg.org.

I Emailed you back saying the plugin wasnt working and that it was v. 1.06 of comechat and comechat is curremntyl on 2.03!!

and in 3 easy steps it told me how to integrate it into elgg,

Upload, edit header.php in the views directory go to yoursite.com/cometchat/install.php then thats it!

SO I Requested a refund please,

just for that code as its useless and out of date :(

djSupport, I  had no access to internet for the last few days.

 

I refunded you the plugin, since the Cometchat code is outdated. The plugin is far from being useless though, as it implements more than simple cometchat modificat. It integrates settings of both plugins, language files and video chat. It also implements support for friend chat, which basic integration of Cometchat 1.6 didn't support.
