eoChat Information

Hey all, I would proudly like to announce that E.G. Interactive has a new project coming out called "eoChat" very soon. It will be a free, open source web based application that will allow you to chat seamlessly without constant refreshing, utilizing Comet.

Features:

-Administration panel.

-Custom in-chat commands.

-Theming system (will not be completely finished (or so I don't think) on the first alpha release).

-Use of Comet, eliminating common refresh problems associated with scripts. Comet will be implemented in the Python version, due to problems with PHP. XmlHttpRequest is used in the PHP version.

-Lighter on bandwidth than other products such as FlashChat.

-MySQL support, SQLite added soon, followed by our own optimised DB System [Optimised for eochat to reduce process time, and will require no extras]

-Loads more.

This project is being headed up by I, and Brad.

Re: eoChat Information

Most likely... confuser would rock more if he STOPPED PLAYING PROTOTYPE AND CAME ONLINE!

Not that he can though, the sweaty skin of his palms has fused to the plastic of the ps3 controller and he is now indefinitely stuck with a game perephiral stuck to his hands Tongue

Re: eoChat Information

thats ok, you can get a PS3 controller driver for window, and use a "onscreen keyboard" to type, not sure what "L-L-U-A-X-D" would look like tho..

Re: eoChat Information

Well, Brad is touring European WWI battlefields until Wednesday, but when he comes back we should be ready for the first test. We also plan to make a plugin for eoCMS on it.

Re: eoChat Information

Just visited Tyne Cot Cemetry and Menin Gate (Ypres) So many wasted lives. Posting from PC in Ypres...

Back guys, just thought id shed some light on the project.

Comet has had to be ruled out (problems with PHP due to its nature) but we are using the prototype JS library, which is handling the various requests pretty good.

I should be releasing Alpha when I can get a good 4 hours in coding. The send/recive system is now stabe and I can start building it up.

Still got to do the admin panel, interval archiver, and various other things

Re: eoChat Information

Urgh Prototype, i used that before with eoCMS. Horrible documentation and hardly any plugins/mods for it hence why I went with jQuery, Less is more Wink

Please do not PM me requesting support or anything, use the forums, thats what they are here for

Re: eoChat Information

I prefer Prototypes AJAX stuff, but I might actually change to JQuery, because I like the JQuery UI Tongue

Re: eoChat Information

"a good product is flexible"

I was using an html/js chat the that other day. when the page first comes up, it has a 5 second interval, but the longer you DONT use it, the longer the interval gets (I got it to 300s)

I was thinking of ripping it, but there would be no need, as it was available so I could port it to eoCMS.

I hope to do a lot of stuff like that later on, port to eoCMS. I found a nice clock with rolling images, it was on a phpbb3 board I think.. anyways, I would keep all that separate from the "official" stuff..

on the "off topic", I have found a way to run a php + sql webserver off a cd/dvd, I'll be using it later on to provide some "active content" for "offline use"

this makes an autoinstaller, and a "php source compiler" worth doing.. the compiler is for condensing code rather that the traditional making of a binary, I use it for another php project I support, one that has a multi-code base on php & asp

Re: eoChat Information

Well, eoChat can be configured (via the admin panel) to cause an AJAX decay, so every time it makes a request it adds x seconds delay onto the next request


Update!!

eoChat can use eoCMS themes seamlessly, so you can integrate it with your eoCMS site.

TODO:
Fix bugs in installer,
BBCode [Possibly, although I dont think its needed]
Admin Panel
Users Panel
eoCommands [IRC-Like command system used by admins]

Then:
The bug hunt, yes thats right - Alpha Release!!
