Re: Chat or IM program

[Andrew Grosset]

Ben Nadel has a very interesting read on his blog using "pusher" to send data 
to multiple clients - if you are thinking of building your own you should read 
this first:

http://www.bennadel.com/blog/1956-Very-Simple-Pusher-And-ColdFusion-Powered-Chat.htm

As for being easy to build - it all depends on how much you want to offer your 
clients. I wanted a threaded chat system (like this forum), simultaneous 
private and public chat rooms, choice of sound notifications, chat to be easily 
accessed from all pages by an expandible div from a fixed 20px footer div, 
smileys allowed but no other html etc etc.

Like many "free" or paid for offerings that don't offer exactly what you want, 
sometimes its better to start from scratch and build your own. However it was 
way more complicated than I first thought and took me much longer than I 
anticipated! 

So in summary research all the chat programs available and how the future is 
changing with html5 and socket to socket transmission - its amazing how we used 
to think that long polling and ajax was the only way to go.

I wrote this one btw.. and the demo is currently broken.

But it actually does work, I haven't bothered to fix the demo since I
moved my server to openbd.

Rick,

Paul Kukiel has this on his blog. It uses some Flex etc. but it is a good
starting point.  I know that Paul has created a system for chatting with
just him, which I am sure you could expand.

Thanks but I don't want a third party hosting the chat for me. I want to
host it and link it with my database of existing users so when they login to
the site, they get logged in to the chat as well.

I already looked on Google and all I found was thousands of companies that
offer chat software but they host it. Some are Java, some are not.

If anyone has a better direction to point me in, please let me know.

RE: Chat or IM program

Exactly, Java has plenty of solutions that can be used in ColdFusion.

No to mention that something like this could easily be knocked up in a
matter of hours using ColdFusion and Ajax.

Re: Chat or IM program

you don't really need a CF solution for this, there are plenty of 3rd party
plugins, java applets etc that you can use.

I run a meebo  on my site which works well, but that is just for chatting to
me.
If you want something to allow users to chat to each other then you want a
java chat applet or something, try googling "free chat applet".

If you really do want a Cf solution then try http://cfchat.net/home/

RE: Chat or IM program

Thanks, but if there's something out there already that I can build on it
would be much quicker. There's alot of open source PhP and .net stuff out
there so I was hoping for something in CF. I'm on a time constraint with a
project.

I have to say that these are the easiest of things to program, especially
with Enterprise and gateways. But just as easy with ExtJS or JQuery in
standard editions.

The basics are sending and receive, and who receives. The client is this
easiest part and the server side is not as hard and just needs to know who
to push the info too.

Chat or IM program

[Rick Sanders]

Hey all,

I was wondering if there is a chat or IM program out there in CF similar to
Facebook. It's for a dating website.

Coding this from scratch would take awhile so if someone knows of anything
let me know.

Thanks,

Rick
