I installed the plugin "Instant Chat". But when I click on it, he writes that there is no online friends!And because of the plug-in Instant Chat pages are reloaded for very long.

Any ideas how your site can be DDosed with IM?

@ Lucius,

I meant how is THIS chat a hole for a DDOS. What code insecurities are there that can be used as a vunerability where someone can exploit or are you being generic and saying any IM on a site can be a potential security hole?

Enough to make a general request to the plugin file (need a registered user to DDOS attacks on the chat ** but not necessarily).
+ im-chat plugin server overload
not potential security hole in oxwall

Bob Said: "Friends are not users also if friends have just left by closing down their browser window and not signin out you will have false indication who is on line and who is not. that's because the system will take from 5 to 20 minutes to log them out.

If those on line have not made friends with you then you just find out who is on line and open up a profile of whom you wish to chat with as you will find an option there to do so."

@Bob: the info u provided is somewhat correct.. but i tried this thing.. and in the same situation.. and still after 3 days that friends were online!!
Also, the profile was also showing the same.. (online) but i put all accounts offline by closing my browser.. this is an interesting bug in Oxwall..:P but still needs to be cured out.

In Short: this whole thing (Chat and Online Status) in oxwall depends upon the Sign out thingy.. if the browser is closed without signing out the status will be the same i.e. online

Friends showing online forever points to a cron job problem.

BEST way to test is to have 2 accounts, log into one account using firefox and log into the other account using Google Chrome (Don't use IE, no other reason than it is a crap browser).
Now use Firefox user to request friends of the Chrome user. Accept the request using the Chrome user. Now in Chat the 2 users will be friends, they should show up in instant chat.

Closing your browser wont put accounts to offline.

I seem to have a lag problem with instant chat as I can see the other party and my messages but they say they cannot see my messages.

I've done the same experiment as Saraubh using 2 browsers (chrome/firefox) and my cron jobs also run every minute, but the users stay logged on forever unless they log out.

Is there some sort of automatic timeout to log the user out automatically upon closing browser?  If so, it doesn't seem to be working.

Also, on chat plugin configuration, I tried selecting "friends only" mode but in the user privacy screen, the user is still shown options to have chat available to "Everyone, Friends, Just Me".  This is confusing.  If chat is in "friends only" mode, they shouldn't see the option to be visible to everyone.
