Module minichat used to work with Tiki (last time I used it for production was in Tiki9, I reckon).
In current 12.x, module reports:
{CODE()}
Failed to execute "minichat" module
Missing dependencies
{CODE}

What dependencies is missing to have a chat working within Tiki?
---
Ah, ok, the "dependencies" are just enabling the minichat module!
See it reproduced here:
http://xavi-9794-5491.show.tikiwiki.org/tiki-index.php?page=HomePage
u: admin
p: 12345

Once you enable the minichat module, then the minichat is displayed as usual.
So fix should be failry simple: just replace the error message and offer a link to enable the minichat module preference, as in other cases of missing preferences and user being an admin.

This should be migrated to the community site, and handled with ((doc:Organic groups)) and ((doc:User Trackers))

Something more than this:

There is a start but can it handle the volume of data we produce?

The level of integration (all, some or none) with Tiki is to be discussed.

An RSS feed would be nice.

I found the other day a chat that looks like is no more on develpment and is used to chat over irc (nice way to chat) is named Eteria IRC and u can find it at sourceforge (http://eirc.sourceforge.net/)

Might this be usefull to change the chat (that in my opinion) that does not work right.

I post this cuz the few times i used the tiki's chat module gave me a few problems with cpu usage and db's saturation

Hope u find this usefull for new vers for the tiki's chat module.

Internal links in a chat message open inside the chat window, in mozilla 1.7

I was collaborating with a few people on a project using google chat for logging step by step processes including screen grabs and adding youtube links that are viewable in the chat room. It was a great and easy experience. I think tiki could expand its chat facility to emulate some of the good points of google chat.

I would like the java irc client pjirc to use grab the usernames from the tikiwiki database to log the people in when they want to use the irc channel. it is very similar to the mod for Simple machine forums http://pjirc.dtmdotexe.com/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=26. It will only work for registered users and does not need to work with wiki markup or group permissions (works as long as you are logged in). You do need a php script to input the irc server/channel to connect to.

the fact is that even if installing by hand, the phpfreechat plugin doesn't work for me, neither on tiki 2.x (with ajax enabled, etc., cleared browser and tiki caches, etc.: just says: "chat loading, please wait, and nothing happens), nor in tiki 3beta4 (it's even not listed in the list of plugin to enable/disable)

It's a pity that we can't provide a functional chat for tiki 2.x or tiki3.x sites... (minichat module for tiki3 was getting close to functional, but since it doesn't provide the date stamp nor a way to read the log from previous conversations to specific date, it's not being used... see the example of the last TikiFestUK: dimdim, skypechat, + irc chat)

I am replacing a site with Tiki Wiki, on which there is a chat feature too. The problem with Tiki Wiki is that the chat's content MUST be cleared at times, when some conversations should be censored or "erased from history".

The feature should not take long and should only be a button next to the user input box, available only to allowed users.

The feature would simply remove any existence of the chat's content with no history whatsoever.

Update ((doc:PluginJabber)) to working state again, so that we can reuse it for cases in which tiki sites are setup to handle real time chats with xmpp servers, and this could be an improvement to our tiki community by facilitating to aggregate the information ("the wisdom of crowds") of real time chat from irc to xmpp, and display that in activity streams within tiki, etc.

There is already a chat software in tiki. So why another one?
- It is always better to keep tiki focused on its core functionality and integrate all the rest.
- Chat can create load, that may need to be moved onto another server.

123flashchat is integrated into 27 CMS, while not into tiki. They would possibly be interested in integrating themselves into tiki or at least in providing active help.
