  1. I had a problem before when it showed everyone online all the time, even if they weren’t. I had an older version that I had upgraded, so I assumed that might be the problem. I deactivated and then deleted the plugin. I then dropped the bp_chat tables. I installed a fresh copy of beta 5, but this time it didn’t create the bp_chat tables. I manually created the tables (pulling the create table statements from the plugin) and I always show 0 people online.

  2. Sure enough, I tried deleting the plugin, wiping the tables I created manually, reinstalling the plugin and seeing what happens. Once again, the tables did not get created. However, I found this page:

    http://buddydev.com/plugins/bp-chat/documentation/

    That looks pretty much like the SQL I used to create the tables manually last time, but I'll try this one more time.

    Edit: creating the tables manually with the SQL in the link above does work. I can see people online and chat. However, I'm curious why the plugin isn't creating the tables by itself. And I'll see in time if I'm going to have the same issue before where it always showed everyone online forever once they logged in once.

  3. Hi TJ,
    That was related to the table prefix. In the sourcecode of plugin, we don't have the actual table prefix(we use $wpdb->prefix there). The the sql file the actual table prefix are there, that's why it worked.

    There are some issues with the current bp-chat, so I am dropping the current version and working on a complete new version for bp 1.3 release. let us see what happens.

  4. I look forward to it Brajesh. And while I'm using a cheap shared hosting solution right now, I would be curious to see a premium version of the plugin that worked on private servers with a Jabber install.

  5. Thanks TJ.
    I am also looking forward to a jabber based(or node.js b ased) implementation of this plugin for advance users :)
