@Brajesh
Just downloaded the beta-1 of bp-chat to try it out.
Unfortunately, it shows "Users online = 0" even though I'm logged in under 2 different accounts on 2 different browsers.
:-(

Hi Patrick,
Please try to logout and login again on both the accoutn. Btw, I am testing it again, may be some last minute changes might have done that. nsorry for the inconvenience.Posted 1 year ago # -
Hi Patrick,
Just tested again, the beta should work if you have logged out the users after installing the plugin and logged in again. The problem with bp-chat is it requires the users to loging at least once after the plugin has been installed. It is working on my wp multisite 3.0.1+BuddyPress 1.2.6.Please let me know if logging out from both account and logging in again helps or not ?

Hi @Brajesh
I've been testing this now since yesterday,
All if fine, Once you log out and back in again it works well,
Much better as i know now when the users have gone offline as they dissapear from the chat itself,
I've tested it so as i have 6 of my test accounts on at the sametime all with seperate browsers without a problem,
So A+ for this brajesh, It's a great plugin for the buddypress world!
So thanks again Brajesh,
I'll keep testing & checking error logs to see if there is any problems,
But at the moment it all looks good ^5Posted 1 year ago #

Just found 1st problem with it,
I've notice once i go to backend after about 5-10 seconds the page goes white,
This is only when bp-chat is active, once disabled it doesn't do it,
I've tried it on all wp-admin pages and they all go white after a few seconds.Posted 1 year ago #

Hi Ben,
Thanks for testing an the comments :)The admin going whitescreen may be an issue with bp-chat, as I did not kept logged in to wp-admin while testing, going to test it now and will update here.
There are several things remaining in bp-chat and It is nowhere near complete but once it is complete I hope it will be useful for the community :)Please allow me to post my result/update tomorrow as It is 5:30 Am here and need to leave for today.
@all
Please do post the suggestions/bugs and anything you want related to bp-chat if you are testing it :)Thanks

@brajesh
I think i have a solution, Give me 5 mins to test please.Posted 1 year ago #

Right ok, It's a problem with the js,
I just opened the js files in Netbeans and removed
The file with the problem is bchat.js
There is no need to have
this.chat_count_interval_id = setInterval("ChatSettings.update_online_count()", 10000);
on set_intervals (line 129)
I've removed that line and tested it on backend, works fine,
Even chat on front end is working fine,
Getting messages instantly and showing them offline when they log out,
Hopefully that should sort it.Posted 1 year ago #

Hi Ben,
That's great.
Thank you for the solution :) I will be updating the plugin with it and a few more enhancements soon :)Thanks

@Brajesh
One bit of strangeness I did notice though: when bp-chat is installed, the wp-admin menus collapse and cannot be expanded by clicking on the arrows next to each menu item. I need to click on the item itself, which opens the main page of the item AND expands the menu.
I'll investigate further tomorrow.

Hi @sbrajesh, as far as the Chatting goes, it's A-OK in WP Multisite with BP 1.2.5.2 (upgraded from MU 2.9.2)
Other notes:
1. Issue almost like @pcwriter's problem except I left my backend admin menus expanded before I went to chat in front end and I can't collapse it. Deactivated BP Chat and was able to collapse the backend admin menu.
2. Avatar on left box where you chat is 32x32 in FF but avatar is double the size in Google Chrome.
3. In box on the right - clicking on Chat Options link closes the box for me. And there is Chat Settings text but no link. I gather chat options and settings are still in the works :-)
In any case, liking the chat. Thank you.

same results as mercime.
I was just wondering also, will there be an admin option to allow this to just let people IM 'friends' only?
Posted 1 year ago # -
@Patrick
Hi Patrick,
yes, the backend admin was dues to bp-chat. I am updating it, may be a new version by end of day(PST) oe tomorrow. That will fix those issues.@mercime,
Hi Mercime. Thanks for the feedback,. I am glad it worked for you on wp3.0.1. Yes, the admin menu has an issue with the bp-chat script. Thanks for info about the chrome, I was expecting inconsistent javascript behaviour, going to look into it. Thanks.@shane,
Hi Shane,
Thanks for the feedback. Yes, there will be an admin option but it is early phase of development and I am avoiding it for now. The admin option will hav the option to allow users to select between sitewide/friends only or force friend only chat and another option will be enabling chat history/disabling it.Thanks
BrajeshPosted 1 year ago # -
Hi All,
Just an update.
In next couple of hours e will have another update of bp-chat with all these issues fixed(already done) and options to go for friends only chat or Sitewide. Though I am not very good at doing UI, so settings does not look any good, but thought to include it in the update.Posted 1 year ago # -
Hi Again,
Here is the link to updated. It fixes all the issues pointed here and also in the comments on coming update post.
http://buddydev.com/http//buddydev.com/public-download/bp-chat-beta2.zip
Further, a small setting option will allow users to chat with friends or be visible sitewide.Please note, The option will work in firefox/opera but looks weird in IE/chrome.
Will have more updates later.Please drop the tables from previous install before upgrading.
Thanks

Brajesh,
I'm not getting the "fly-out" chat boxes showing up. I tested with Chrome, Firefox, and Safari - everything looked fine, btw.You can see it here:

@Brajesh
I had the same as Greg but i noticed it didn't re-add the tables to the db,
So i added them manually and now it shows no 1 online,
It adds them to the db but still no users online.
I'll have a look into it a little later when i have a little more time.Posted 1 year ago #

Hi Greg, Shane
Let me check it on my system. I made a change in installer script(table structure) before uploading and did not test that by installing on new Install, so may be that has caused it. I will get back in half an hour with the things if that was the cause.Thanks
BrajeshPosted 1 year ago # -
Brajesh,
Not sure what happened, but this morning it works. I logged out and in several times last night with no luck. But now it works great.
One css tweak I made to work better in firefox was expand the minimum height of the text entry area from 13px to 36px.

Hi Greg,
Thanks for letting us know again. I was also testing it on a new install of wordpress and found it to show incorrect number of users online. Later to my surprise I found that I had forgotten to logout and login again. So it worked after that.For everyone, If you are upgrading, please drop the tables(wp_bp_chat_*) and then activate the plugin. Once activated, please logout and login again.
It should work.
Posted 1 year ago # -
Brajesh - noob question...how do I "drop the tables"?
Do I just delete the plugin and the files or do I have to get into the database?
Posted 1 year ago # -
Hi Greg, Currently you will have to go to phpMyadmin(or database by any other mean), but better abstain from it if no prior experience.
Are you trying to upgrade bp-chat ?
Posted 1 year ago # -
@brajesh
Works fine for me on 1 site, Yet my main test site it still show's no users,
But I'll sort it! it wont beat me, lol
Oh i have almost done the Java uploader for bp-gallery,
I've got the test uploader uploading for me, just need few more updates &
Got alot of testing to do with it as well, So hopefully in a few days it'll be done.Posted 1 year ago #

Hi Ben,
That's great. I am still wondering what could be the issue. If it works on one It must work on other too but I am sure you will find the reason.great to know about the uploader, I have a little delay of 3 days on gallery but I am looking forward to it.
PS: what happened to your avatar, It seems quiet different today!
Posted 1 year ago # -
@Brajesh
No idea what has happened to my avatar,
It was there last night,
When i try upload now i get this
"Upload Failed! Error was: Unable to create directory /avatars/2201. Is its parent directory writable by the server?"Posted 1 year ago #

Hi Brajesh
great, that the chat is available and running. I tried it in 3 different installs. In my test-install it does not seem to work at all. In two others it seems to work, but some issues are there:1. It does not show all of the online users, if set to sitewide, but only my friends (I think)
2. If I close the window during a chat (instead of minimize it) it seems that no messages get through from this side (from the other side it still works)
3. If someone sends me a message there is no sound
4. if someone sends me a new message in a running, but minimized chat, (no sound) and no message popping up (would help)Hopefully you understand my points and I look forward to further improvement (or is it just on my installs?)
Thanks!

PS: Who's online does not seem to react very fast. Still some who are already offline are shown, but now people that are online not yet...
Posted 1 year ago # -
@Ben,
Fixed that. and yes, your avatar is back now :)@Michael,
Welcome back. I am glad it worked on at least 2 of your installs.
1.It will not show all the online users at once. Only those users will be shown who do logged in after the activation of this plugin or who logged out and logged in again after the activation of the plugin.2. I am sorry, I did not get that point, do you mean If you try to restart the chat with same person, It does not work ?
3.That;'s right, not implemented yet.
4.I agree, I have to work on them.Please let me know about the second point, may be It could be a bug but I suspect that.
Thanks
BrajeshPosted 1 year ago # -
2. Yes - if I closed the chat-window and try to restart it - no messages get through...
