Hey. I tested the module on my local machine. It worked great and looks nice.

How about sending messages to persons who are offline? This could be an enormous advantage. Like the instant-messaging on Facebook or Whatsapp. What do you think?

In combination with a mobile app, this could be really helpful: https://github.com/michaelscheurer/humhub-android

Hmm an offline communication function doesn't sound terribly bad as an optional setting in the admin panel settings. Tho to be honest in the beginning this is just a basic chatbox module which lacks many features, one being emojis/emoticons, I wouldn't mind this being a feature tho it questions why would it be needed? If you wish to try out integrating this in and seeing if it works create a pull request. :smiley:

As it was intended, this is just a global chat, no private messaging was ever planned. There is already a private messaging module in humhub, not sure a 2nd doing the same thing is really necessary? If someone were to add it to the module, by all means do so, but its not something I plan to work on for sure!
