Vegan Gaymer Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 We are a community that holds a lot of online classes and lectures using a chat client, both for private sessions and in public classes. After each session, we need to post to our forum and email out a copy of the transcript to participating students. Currently we are forced to use a third-party chat platform and disable the IPS chat feature if we want to have a clean copy of a chat log that we can either copy or export it in a way that can be posted or emailed. Can we get this copy/export option for IPS Chat so that we can save chats per session? I would love to get away from replacing your chat system with a third-party chat. We are on the Cloud Platform.

Or is a new alternative being developed? You'll want to stick to a 3rd party option as there won't be an alternative developed. I don't have the topic where it was discussed, but they did recommend a few alternatives as IPS Chat is going away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for the link! I read through the thread and only really found Babble and Arrowchat as recommendations. Neither are workable for a community that holds online classes, but they are great for integrated quick messaging. I use CometChat for that, and I use IRC embeds for our classes since they can save and export transcripts. I wish I could just use one service. I wonder why it's so hard to create an integrated chat that also keeps transcripts for exporting. Anyway, I really appreciate the helpful feedback and updates. Thanks for taking time to clue me in.
