RE: Chat or IM program
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.

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.

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.

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
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.

Re: Chat or IM program
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. 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.
