pyrocms-cchat

A simple chat module for PyroCMS (2.2.x). This uses conversejs and requires an XMPP server (using Prosody at the moment).

Here are the instructions on running your own XMPP service with Prosody. :)

Features

• Create/Register a chat account (Administrators only)
• Chat to an XMPP server (using Prosody at the moment)
• HTTP Binding (user is logged-in to chat as long as he is logged-in to the webiste)

Installation

1. Clone or download the source code
2. Extract it to the addons directory (you can also upload it using the upload module tool from the administrator's panel). Rename the pyrocms-cchat directory to cchat before installing. :)
3. Install it (just click the install button from the module pages of the administrator's panel)

TODO

• Add settings for javascripts (or even css?) to fix the possible conflict with templates that uses the libraries that we are using. Examples are:
  • template_has_conversejs
  • template_has_jquery
• Create permissions on who can create a chat account for a user
• Automatically create a chat user upon registration
• Port to more chat providers (works best with a prosodyctl masking I made on node.js. will create a repo for it soon)
• Handle the registration failure properly
• Add authentication token for the registration routine
• Add tests

NOTE

• I manually built conversejs to added the jquery no-conflict codes. If you are going to use the jquery included inside coversejs, use the original_converse.min.js file instead. (You can change it on the events.php file).
• I used spaces as tabs, tab-width 2

Thanks!

• ConverseJS
• Candy Chat (for the XMPP prebinding codes/ideas)
