We are glad to annuounce stable release of DrupalChat module for Drupal 7 websites. The chat module now supports all versions of jQuery. This has been quite tricky to accomplish considering the fact that we need to support all versions of jQuery from 1.4.4 onwards.

Our DrupalChat module for Drupal 7 comes with three polling methods. The polling method decides which backend will the chat module use for handling chat requests. These are listed below:

Normal AJAX
Long Polling
iFlyChat Servers

Here, Normal AJAX and Long Polling use your website server's resouce to handle chat processing. We recommend using Normal AJAX out of them. These methods offer following features:

One-to-one chat (private chat)
Public Chat room
Show user name, profile picture and profile link in chat
Render hyperlinks in chat messages
Provides a sleek chat bar at bottom right of the browser
Selectable list of Online Users (Once you choose a particular user to chat with, it creates a new tab adjacent to the chat bar along with an attached pop-up chat window)
Supports chat for anonymous users
Provides chat logging and message inbox functionality
Supports smilieys (detects them automatically in chat messages)
Provides notification sound when a new chat message is received
Notifies user by blinking browser title bar and chat popup when a new chat message is received
Provides optional integration with User Relationships and Flag Friend module.

Alternatively, you can use our commercial version by switching to iFlyChat Servers polling method. This polling method includes all of the above features along with many more:

Send and share files using iFlyChat

We have been testing file attachment feature for quite some time now. Today, we are glad to annouce that this feature is out of beta testing and now available to our clients. Some of our customers are pretty excited to use this feature as it takes the interaction among users to the next level. Now, users can share photos, documents or any other similar files with others. Users can share file in one-to-one chat, group chat as well as in public rooms. And, it is available both for popup chat and embedded chat. Isn't that awesome? :D

For the geeks, we are using Dropbox API to upload, store and retrieve the files. And as far as our experience goes, their system is solid and will ensure maximum and fast availability of the service. No compromise on that.

Do give it a try out and provide us with your feedback.

In coming blog post, we will write about the release of iFlyChat plugin for Joomla CMS. (Yes, finally!)
