Would it be possible to have a page for each chat and potentially an index page to show all chats (present and past)?
I'm trying to make a more functional pm system for my site and this module seems more developed than privatemsg for notification and scalability. I don't necessarily need support for fields (although that would be nice), but at least this module is working in the right direction.
I would preferably like to remove the "chat" idea and replace it with an inbox concept that can update, as well as an auto-updating chat/message 'page', like the box that exists now. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know. I'm struggling to decide if I want to alter this module or privatemsg into suiting my project, but this project seems to have more support behind it, not to mention node.js support which helps with the notifications bit. I would have to try to work something into privatemsg and that would take forever. For other people's projects, it could become like FB's chat now -- fully integrated with inbox. I actually think that with my proposed mods/features, this module could potentially become THE messaging module for D7.
I don't know much about coding modules, but I can try. :-)

darklrd commentedHi,
It is already there in 7.x-1.x-dev. Download and install the dev version and go to the following url - "drupalchat/messages" on your website.
Thanks!

sgp913 commentedExcellent start!
Any way to integrate in the dynamic update and reply that's in the chat box? I'm sure that's in dev right now and I'm being impatient...
Let me know if you need testing or ideas, I'll try to help however I can. I'm not a pro at module coding, but I'll try offer what I can. This is vital to a new project I'm working on! Time to start copy pasting code and see if it works! :-D
My other goal is to allow more access from ubercart for example. Sending order notification over drupalchat would be great. Also, sending messages to all users. These are after thoughts but just some ideas.
