Hi ;) nice and well-explained source code.
Can a user belongs to more than one chat-room?? E.g., participate in two or more chat rooms.
How can I achieve this?

Thanks ;)

can the Whisper messages be opened in new window and store the messages in mysql !!
like friend list system

The server crashed when I tried the following:
one person creates a room, another person joins it, then leaves it and tries to come back. The system info says: You are already in a room (Dev's room), please leave it first to join another room.

and the log from the server:

i did all instructions but it doesn't work.

Just FYI, the selector breaks when a person has a name like "Some Bro", anything with a space. I didn't clone your repo or anything so I'm just posting the issue + fix here. In clien.js

socket.on("isTyping", function(data) {
if (data.isTyping) {
if ($("#"+data.person.split(' ').join('-')+"").length === 0) {
$("#updates").append("<li id='"+ data.person.split(' ').join('-') +"'> " + data.person + " is typing.");
......MY CUSTOM CALLBACK, OMITTED
}
} else {
$("#"+data.person.split(' ').join('-')+"").remove();
}
});

As you can see it's a simple matter of splitting where any spaces are and joining by a non space char. Cool app, much thanks for sharing it. :)

I installed the current version on Ubuntu 12.04. The directory for jquery.js was incorrect. It needs to have ./dist added so that the entire directory is:

components/jquery/dist/jquery.js

Took a liberty of copying your code and make it run under socket.io ver 1 and express 4 located here: https://github.com/forddyce/programme-chameleon/tree/master/public/app

Advanced-chat is not working well with my angularjs project..
I want to integrate this with my project.. may be i have some problem with jquery?

When whispering to self two error messages are displayed ('can't find ' and 'can't whisper to self') - former is not correct as user == self therefore user exists.

Hi ,

Thanks for building a simple and useful chat application. How can we persist the message into the DB (in mongo or redis)

Advance-chat Not Working properly with my angularjs project ..

advanced-chat looks very useful for an internal project I'm working on, but without a license, I feel very uncomfortable relying on it. Anything "copy left", GPL, or so on pretty much precludes being able to use this. Here's a useful StackOverflow discussion on this topic.

Personally, I like the MIT license or Perl Artistic 2 licenses :)

css problem and nothing is displayed when we type any message or create room

i have this chat running from a nginx proxy, and when i load it from the url everything works, but when i embed the script into my site and connect it doesnt work.

From my experience on underscore.js, I don't really understand the following codes.
Do you think that it's the right way on using the call of contains(".contains") ?
For example, in the logic " if(.contains((room.people)), s.id) ", (_.contains((room.people)), s.id) is always true, because s.id is always greater than 0.

If so, kindly review the following codes, and let me know.

Hello Tamas,

I was newbie for using socket.io and your advanced-chat project was really great for me to learn about chat engine with socket.io.
But When I try to use it, the cpu always heap until 104%, so the next request can't handle by server. So it always show warning "WebSocket is closed before the connection is established". What should I do Tamas? Is there any way to fix this issue?
My server spec is 4 CPUs and 8GB RAM.

Cheers.

Are you going to upgrade to express 4? Thanks

Hey there,

I'm attempting to run this on OpenShift, and I get to the HTML but I get the following 404's (see below).
I assume it's a problem with Express but I cannot for the life of me figure out what.
