Finaly, way too long after we started developing, the Chat Module has been officially released for the first time. This means DotNetNuke now has an official Chat Module. Isn't that great?

I like to thank Steve Orr for donating his Webchat module. The basic ideas behind his module are still there, although we did rewrite pretty much every line of code. Also I'd like to thank Erik van Ballegoij, being our Core Team Sponsor, for his advice and help. Most of all I need to thank Martijn Hogenbirk though, since...

I thought I'd write a quick update on the Chat module. It's failed in the release tracker yesterday, because of a showstopping issue in the settings page, found after installing on the staging/dogfooding environment.

After the fix a new package has been submitted and will hopefully be installed on staging within a week or so. There must be a release at some point, right?

Sorry for causing confusion this morning. Because I have been receiving some emails about where to download the chat module, I tried to give a bit better information by editting this old blog post by adding this comment:

edit: as posted here, the module has been taken offline. we're expecting v01.00.00 to be available any day now.

All, Because something fishy occurred in the release...

Finally, and - to be honoust - months later than expected, the Chat module version 1.0 is nearing it's release. Features are still about the same as in this post about the beta version.

We hope to create a roadmap for the module soon (in Gemini of course), but please do feel free to pass your wishes to us in the Chat Forum.

Since the beta version of the Chat Module has failed the release testing process, I had to take it offline. We expect to be submitting a fixed version soon though, keep your eye on the DotNetNuke Chat Module!

In 3 weeks time, on december 14th, it's SDE time again in the Netherlands. SDE means Software Developer Event which is a one-day conference by SDN (Software Developer Network, who were also hosting OpenForce Europe 2007 at their anualy two-day event SDC (Software Developer Conference.

We're talking about 30 sessions and a keynote here, with a dedicated DotNetNuke track and plenty of sessions in English. Information pages are not available, but you can see the sessions here.

Finally, way too long  after my previous blog post I can finally announce that version 00.05.00 has been submitted to the release tracker. Functionality hasn't changed much since the previous post, but some things in the background did. While working on a module like this, one always finds new places...

 Hi, time for another blog on the chat module. As we're getting somewhere near a first public release we decided it's about time to show some of the money. So here are a few screenshots. Hope you like'm.

This is what the module looks like for a user who's not allowed to chat. He'll be able to read everything other are chatting but can't chat for himself.

Just a tad later than I had thought I would, I'd like to blog a little about the current status of the chat module.

We've been moving quite a bit lately and we're pretty satisfied with the basic working of the modules at the moment. The first release will be version below 1.0. So that would be some sort of beta. We're hoping to get some good community feedback after that.

The features of the first release will be pretty simple: it will allow your users to chat. We do realise this module is one...

So, I'd say it's about kick off time for the chat module. I consider the project team complete at the moment, since I got Martijn Hogenbirk to join the team. He's an experienced developer at Capgemini in the Netherlands and will prove his value to the project.

We've been going through the code donated generously by Steve Orr and found it to be very useful. Also we've been getting some ideas of users via the project forums which will certainly...
