Description
1. Develope a new ajax interface
2. Apply chat_revamped patch
he chat daemon was not working; apparently chat daemon module is not being maintained as the header_js versions improve. The common codes in the three different methods (keepalive, streams, and chatd) should better be collected in shared functions, to minimize update conflicts.
I have corrected some of the errors in different chat methods, and added some new features. all three methods can now work synchronously. you can download the updated module from:
http://www.ceng.metu.edu.tr/~ahmet/Wiki/software/moodle_chat_revamped/moodle_chat_revamped
here is a summary of the new features:
-
-
-
- chatinput: added multiline text (use Shift+Enter to send), html, and drawing input features.
-
-
- chatd: works synchronously with other methods.
- chatd: Sending small but continuous dummy data after each message (instead of sending a single big chunk of dummy data), works better for Firefox. IE doesn't need this dummy data. I haven't tested this for other browsers.
- chatd: support for multiple sites.
- fixed the jsupdated bug. now the messages is updated as soon as user sends a message.
- Users can select the chat method and refresh rate.
- users can select to show/hide pictures and enter/exit messages in chat session or in old chat reports.
- fixed grouping bugs in chat reports. {/quote}
Just saw this, sorry Ahmet! We need to do something with this!
