Chat Plugin for Redmine 1.0.x,1.1.x,1.2.x - Driven on MySQL no need to install any extra gems. Use at own risk. I will do my best to add features over time, but I am a busy student so I apologize for slow release/response times.

Feature Request:xmpp/jabber client extension #13

Closed cforce closed 13 years ago

cforce commented 13 years ago

We are using redmine messenger (https://github.com/mszczytowski/redmine_messenger) in conjuction with openfire xmpp/Jabber server .An Jabber/XMMP Server offers all possibilities of chat features you can imagine, like group chat or pm, queing and so on. The client api is quite easy, the only thing is missing good webchat redmine to offer direct accces to a projects team room. The redmine messenger plugins already integrates new personal menue of the top left where some can enter its jabber-id and can authorise against the redmine bot. The jchat plugin could just read the jabber-id, connect the user to the in redmine messenger settings also configured team room and its xmpp/jabber server via xmpp protocol (see redmine messenger "gem install xmpp4r"). I know thre is also a feature requetst for a team room and group chat, which can be done on a xmpp server easily. Either you can use the redmine messenger plugin as base or just have a look there and copy the code which is needed.

Settings up an openfire server is done in 10 minutes..see here.. http://www.igniterealtime.org/builds/openfire/docs/latest/documentation/install-guide.html

I wanted to comment on this to let you know: Our environment recently developed a use for this functionality for messaging from a network monitoring server, I'll be attempting to put something together over the next few weeks.
