1.0 preview : multi-channel and private message

[John]

It will be better if I could see privmsg I sent

[DJ_XaKeP]

imho, it's bad idea to realize "private" as rooms.
it's good, if chat message list split into two areas. One is for public messages and other for private messages.

Code: Select all

---------------------[public area]---------------------------
22/05/2006 17:46:05 ‹test2› fdsf
22/05/2006 17:46:08 ‹test2› fdsf
22/05/2006 17:46:10 ‹test2› fds
22/05/2006 17:46:14 ‹test2› f
--------------------[private area]---------------------------
22/05/2006 17:51:43 ‹test1› <test2> hi
22/05/2006 17:52:25 ‹test2› <test1> hello
22/05/2006 17:54:29 ‹test1› <test2> what are u doing here?
22/05/2006 17:52:35 ‹test2› <test1> nothing :)

To: [test2   ] Input string: [ why?                         ] <--- will shown in private frame

if field "to" left blank, message will send to public frame..

----------
In any case I look forward for 1.0 release
Good luck!

Why is it a bad idea ?

[DJ_XaKeP]

Why is it a bad idea ?

Because... I ask people about usability...
Uncomfortable, if I don't see public and private area at the same time. And I must switch between that "rooms" again and again...

Better, if I will can minimize each frame (public or private), but if I want (I want), I can see both frames simultaneously.

So I guest your request could be satisfied with the "detachable tab" feature.
However, I will not work on this feature as a priority but the idea is not bad.

It's better, than nothing Thanks!

Nevertheless, "detachable tab" is not a solution... If I will chatting with many people simultaneously, I will has many frames at the screen
Maybe 2 options:
1. Private sessions As Is - in tabs.
2. Private sessions in small-height frame under public frame (all in one frame).

Maybe I can help? (I am programmer in php).

Yes this is a good idea.
So we need a "window split" feature and a toogle button used to split/unsplit the main window. Then we need to find a way the select what to show in the up and the down frame. Maybe using tabs to select the discussion for the two frames is enougth.

To help I think you need good javascript/dom skills because tabs and tabs content are managed by javascript routines. Anyway have a look to the subversion repository to checkout the code.

JavaScript is my weak Point :-/
I want to write my own chat for a long time, but JS is more then half of code in good chats.. Server side is easy..

Anyway I will view your cvs-repository when get a free time
I rummage Internet in search of good ajax-chat, but your is the best from all that I saw.. Maybe I search bad ( ), but I think it's really good.

By the way, this 2 options is possible to carry out to config file
Why allow user to select it independently?
