MyBB Community Forums

What is this?
MyBB JSXC is a chat system completely embedded in MyBB, it’s based on the XMPP/Jabber protocol. You can run your own instance of eJabberd, use an external hosted Jabber instance or just use an experimental integrated xmpp script without needing any Jabber server at all.
The chat design is completely variable and can easy changed with templates.

eJabberd is already supported via an Rest API, it's get fully integrated in MyBB, the user accounts are synchronized and the users will not need a Jabber Client. They will just register on your MyBB page and they will automatically get their chat account.
They are also able to use external clients.

Your community now is able to be more familiar and stay in contact at any time. For example: from their phone, or from the page itself.

Supplement
I am working hard on the implementation of jsxc in MyBB. I hope you enjoy the preview. When i finish up the planned feature integrations i will publish this plugin and are free for improvements. So leave some suggestions and feedback. Thx for your time.

awesome job man
I'm waiting to test it

Still need some working time for the other features but when the time is near i will start some beta testings.

I would love to test it yeah . Is it going to be free or paid one ?

Not sure right now, currently first rewrite the base in oop then adding other features... the current feature list have more then 100 points. Todo have more the the double ^^, i think it's get a paid plugin, but if so then cheap .

Looks pretty nice, good luck with it broatcast!

This looks great,only part i am worried is server resources ,wont it require a lot ?

No there are not much resources needed cause its not based on ajax, the client it self is js based, so all will run on client side. You only need a jabber server eg. eJabberd, eJabberd can be runned on realy small VPS's. For example a VPS with 3GB Ram and 2 Cores can handle +10k Users connected at the same time to the Server, eJabberd already include an ICE, STUN, TURN and Proxy65 so you can run all at the same machine. I will publish installation notes and tutorials after finish this plugin.

Amazing

Looks grear
