I use ArrowChat and I do not recommend it.

It integrates badly with Oxwall: it does not understand the user roles well and the blocking of members is independent of the blocking of OxWall members.

The video chat does not work

The technical service is not there, they do not even respond.

There is no APP for phones.

There are no new versions or patches for the known bugs.

It consumes too many resources.

But CometChat is too expensive and I do not know another one.

i think that plugin support mobile and maybe you can ask him for custom modifications (like passwords capable)

then use the standard chat with the pwa plugin available in the store and you should get push notifications and great mobile support with stickers,smilys and other stuff

Are you on a shared server?  We are on VPS and so I'm assuming we can afford the resources drain but if you're on vps too that would be concerning.

Not a lot of other good news to be had with your report :(

It sounds like it will function reasonably well with basic features of chat, group chat, tying together avatars from oxwall.  That may be enough to get us going for the moment.

BTW, did you notice any probs with conflicts with other plugins or oxwall itself?  We have had plugins break our setup while putting the site together.

You're right.  "chat rooms" are old school.  I'm looking for "group chat" similar to people's experience on whatapp or messenger or even group MMS texts.  But in the premade chat world, I'm thinking that "chat rooms" are the closest I'll get especially for something that works with Oxwall.

Right now I don't see anything like that in the store, that's why I made it. There will be 2 versions one which will use PHP and no extra server requirements, it can run in any server. The second will work on sockets to run faster and will require extra software installed on your server, compatible with VPS and dedicated servers only.

Senior Developer.

Would love to see it.

I keep thinking about the differences of "chat rooms" and today's "messenger" apps that allow for groups and the differences are limited.  One of those differences would be that in messengers for groups, all data is available to all members whether they happened to be logged in at the moment that a message was transmitted or not.  Otherwise, I'm struggling to think of differences.  I hope that as you develop, you can build it out to compete more with messenger style apps.  

It would be great if it could embed into a website but still push notifications to iOS & android..

Hi SD,

I would like to recommend you ArrowChat which is a more effective PHP & JQuery chat software. It provides a simple solution to add chat to your Oxwall site. You can easily insert voice chat, video chat, text chat and chat rooms within few minutes to your Oxwall site.

Lack:

- Use the OxWall member blocks and not your own.

- By user role can chat or not by private and in the rooms.

- That the gifs are animated (Cometchat does it) and not only the first frame.

- For sites like mine dating, you can show age and city next to the nick in the chat rooms.

thanks

@Senior Developer any idea when your plugin will be available in the store?

The standard Oxwall mailbox chat is very slow and buggy.  Arrowchat seems like it's missing key features and Cometchat is really expensive

Hello I am also new to this forum but I think I can help you with what you need from your chat to start I want to tell you that it is not so easy to reach the level of the Facebook, WhatsApp or the Chat webcam found worldwide and anywhere available for that It takes years of code and test preparation try to reach that level and all you should do is try something more basic that is a tool with a much simpler code and see how you can improve step by step.

I found that: https://html5-chat.com/blog/oxwall-and-html5-chat-integration/
