I've been unable to commit to this project for some time now. However, I now have a quite sophisticated node JS client/server running on my D6 implementation.

I've included the JS files for Server & Client for this. You will need to add your nodejs server url in the module and js files, (see TODO comments).

Differences between my module and DrupalChat? Probably quite a lot.. There's some cool things like synchronization between all open browser tabs etc.

I'd love if someone could mix some of my code with DrupalChat so we can get a great open source implementation.

After install, I get this error:

user warning: Table 'web.drupal_friends' doesn't exist query: SELECT uid, fid FROM drupal_friends WHERE (uid = 26 OR fid = 26) AND status = 0 in /web/htdocs/sites/all/modules/chat/chat.module on line 96

The chat.install file doesn't create any table, so when this code executes return the error:

$result = db_query("SELECT uid, fid FROM {friends} WHERE (uid = %d OR fid = %d) AND status = %d", $uid, $uid, FRIENDS_ACTIVE);

Also, this has to be integrated with flag and user relationships module, as drupalchat does.

Well, I modified the buddylist function to test.

function _chat_buddylist($uid) {	
  $result = user_relationships_load(array('name' => variable_get('drupalchat_ur_name', 'friend'), 'user' => $uid, 'approved' => 1), array(), TRUE);

  $users = array();

  foreach ($result as $friend) {
    $uid == $friend->requester_id ? $users[] = $friend->requestee_id : $users[] = $friend->requester_id;
  }
  return $users;

}

This give me an array of uids that have a relationship with me, but the chat don't show users. This array is passed through drupal_add_js function and is avaliable in js, so other things are preventing to add them to the list.

I do apologize for any errors - this module was created to work on one of my implementations. Hopefully you can iron out any installation bugs and when it's running you'll be able to make use of some of the techniques we used.

The server-side nodejs is really great by the way! :D

Wow, this is great. I'm glad I looked through the issues because I was just about to do the exact same thing. Do you have any plans to integrate group chat?

Group chat is there in 7.x-1.x-dev.

Yes, I'm sorry, I should have more specific. Are there any plans to integrate group chat in 6.x?

darklrd commented

Yes, functionality from 7.x-1.x-dev will be back-ported to 6.x-2.x-dev. Thanks!
