Title: Ajax Chat implementation/recommendations
Post by: ptmuldoon on April 02, 2010, 12:04:54 PM
There's probably already a few ajax chat mods out there already.....

I'm looking for one to modify into an mod I'm working on.  I would prefer the chat to store the data in the DB (versus a txt file), along with the ability to have multiple chats (ie, a separate chat for each game).  Probably something where the chat table in the DB will have a game id to track/query/insert the chats for each game in progress.

I may be able to mod something from an existing script via a google search, but if something existing fits the needs already created for smf, it may same some time as well.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
PT

Did you try searching the mod site? There's even one called AJAX Chat Integration which on the surface seems to meet all your requirements.

Yep, I saw that one as well, and still need to install and experiment with it.

But I'm uncertain if it allows for multiple chats/rooms going or not.  It may be something that I figure to modify though.

It's about the closest there is to an out-of-the-box solution and I doubt it'd be *too* hard to modify.
