Will using node.js conflict with Jquery or AJAX that's currently being used on the site?

Is the chat on every page (global), or is it on a dedicated page?

Can you restrict users depending on what IPS group they are in? Can keep out guests? Can you have a room for a specific group?>

Being JS based, is it possible that users can change their names and other permission locally (bypassing admin enforced settings)?

Is there any history kept? Where's it kept, locally with users or server?

When a new users enters the Babble chat, how for back can they read?

nodejs is server based, not client based like jquery/ajax. the JS that is used in Babble are various controllers/widgets built using IPS's js framework, its intended to work and play nice with the rest of the JS on the site.

It is an application, so it has its own page. but it comes with a widget so you can place it on any page you'd like.

yes, you can restrict to who has access to it by group, and also by content count.

no, whatever their user name is for the site, will appear as who it is sent by. The only exception is guest messages (if its enabled), their name will be generated for them.

there is an archive feature. it is stored in the database under babble_messages.

you set how many messages it loads in the room settings, if they have the archive permission, they can go all the way back to the beginning if they chose, there isn't a limit on how far they can go back.

1. yes, it has a "pop out" option.

2. the sounds can be enable or disabled, the browsers volume determines their softness/loudness.

Thanks for replying! While volume control is nice to have, the pop out is a winner! Purchased! :thumbsup:

  1. Will there be an option to keep save text configurations? Like if a user always wants his text to show as bold text with a color of orange. To help out if you have many users in chat. 
  2. Is there a way to let you know someone is directly talking to you in chat by using your username. Like maybe a notification sound and a bolding of the text or color change in the text to let you know they are replying to you.

Example for question 2:

JoshB84 enters chatroom.

JoshB84: Hi everyone

Tom1: It really is sunny out today.

Tom1: Hi JoshB84

SusanYes it really was a nice day out today.

Susan: Oh Hi JoshB84! Welcome to the chatroom.

*So each time if a message was directed at me specifically. I would get a color change and bold with maybe a notification sound*

Hi @CodingJungle are you able to provide custom modifications? This chat is exactly what we are looking for as IP.Chat will be retired, however we have an interesting setup we are looking to do on our site.  Since we have a large amount of users in chat at one time, we would essentially like to have an admin / moderator side, and a members side, so the admin / moderator responses stay up longer.  Not sure how feasible this would be, or if you would be able to provide it.  Please let us know!
