Candy Chat Bar

[gmax21]

A cut down candy chat bar for the bottom, top, left or right of the site would be pretty cool. Allowing one on one and MUC (Example would be the classic FB chat bar). :-)

I know I'm dreaming with the requests I've made so far. :-)

Hi gmax,

yeah... I don't know if we really want to do that. I think it would be pretty big plugin rewriting a great deal of handling.
But..if someone wants to do it - Feel free, we're glad for every contribution

No worries, I've been playing with a couple of existing solutions for this, would be good if there was something revolving around Candy, but not necessary though.

With social networking being huge these days then anyway to engage end users and have them engage each other is always a good thing in keeping them coming back to a given site/solution.

Yeah it would definitively interesting :)

Anything developed about the chat bar?

We think about building this in our company, maybe we can help in the near future :-)

Good idea how to do this? Writing a new template or hack the things into a plugins?

[mweibel]

might need a new template yes. Or maybe even a complete new view layer. I did something similar to this (removed basicly the view layer because I didn't need the MUC code f.e.). But it's quite some work.

I think Issue #18 has to be done first to do this.
