can you please guide me how to achieve this (step by step detail required)
– Asynchronous updates (no page refreshes)
– Fast applications
– Run in context of the site
– Use the SharePoint users that exist within the host site
– Create similar functionality to the WhatsApp app i.e.
– New Group: This will prompt for “Group Subject” and group logo. Click next to add Participants
– Status: Add ability to set your status: Available, Busy, In a meeting, Away
– Chats: List all Chats you are involved in
– Permission: All users can create groups and start chatting
– Users cannot see conversations unless invited
– Notifications: If you are sent a message there should be some form of notification
– Design: The look and feel of the solution / app should be clean, flat and minimalist
– Should be new, bespoke code
Wow – you have to build all of that!
We actually implemented Chat onto the SP24 conference site (using Cometchat). Raphael Londner was the brains behind that piece and he also shared how he did it here : http://sharepoint-community.net/profiles/blogs/how-we-built-the-chat-tool-on-sp24
Cometchat is really cheap and integrates pretty nicely tbh. Could save you a fortune in development costs. Looking at your requirements – I think it’d cover most of those. To test it out check out Helens sessions at ‘SP24 a sneak peek behind the scenes;. You need to register and login), but we have a chant window embedded on the session room. You can also get it appearing at the bottom of every page (same as on SPCOM).
