Hi!

I'm building a community site which must have a decent chat and a user to user msn-like communication tool. Does anyone have a working example of anything similar? Is it possible to integrate some external chat script in Drupl without making users to re-register?

Thank you!

Assuming you have the ability to do this on your server, you can authenticate Drupal users against an LDAP directory, then use a Jabber chat server (such as Wildfire) for the actual chat protocol.

There is a number of chat related modules:

http://drupal.org/project/chatroom
http://drupal.org/project/phpfreechat
http://drupal.org/project/yshout

(I have not used either)

123flashchat offers free chat module for drupal with which after logging in Drupal, users don't have to re-enter their username or password again to access chat.

here is the chat module:

According to my experience, the chat modules for drupal does not match most of our requests...

I choosed 123flashchat. and it works perfectly now, although the experience to integrate it with Drupal costed me some time. :-)

Just curious as to which Flash server you are using. If it is Red5, how has that experience been for you? Is it ready for public consumption?
