I would like to use the Who's online macro to allow my users to see who is online, and then to be able to instant message that member online. How can this be done? What chat program would be best suited for this? Also how could one in general take a logged in username, and then output into an http proxy of some kind of chat program, so that once a user was logged into my webgui such as "john doe" they could then be brought into a chat room as user "john doe"? How in general could variables such as usernames of those logged in be outputed to an external Perl program?

Earlier versions had some basic Jabber functionality built in. If I would do it I would probably make a custom macro or wobject that called an external program with some parameters like username and IM-address. All that is quite easy to extract from the DB. Any chat program I guess is up for it, but there are some easy to use Jabber modules for perl. -- /Jonas www.webgui.se

I'll post an update in an hour or so. I would apreciate any patches or request for enhancements. -- /Jonas www.webgui.se
