is there any module which allows users to chat with sellers. If a seller is logged-in, when users view the listings, there will be a "Seller is Online" icon and user can click this to start a conversation. would be quite helpful I guess.

Hi,

No that is not a current feature. You can check ClassifiedMods

is it possible to develop such a module?

Possibly but what would be the real advantage over someone just posting their skype, ms or yahoo messenger names? Do you think an advertiser is going to be online as such.

business + · 03-23-2009, 02:28 AM

with skype or msn, I think it wudn't be very convenient for this purpose. You can post skype,msn contact info. But visitors may not necessarily know if the seller is online or not. also, is user want's to chat, they would need to add the seller.

With a chat module, whenever a seller is online (logged-in to classifieds site), a visitor can easily start a chat session even if the user is not registered or logged-in. I think this is a convenient way of clarifying with the seller infomration regarding his listings. If the seller is not online, user can always leave a message (currently supported). The idea is to make best use of the time seller spends online by making it easier for potential buyers to get information instantly.

Not all advertisers maybe online as such. But if the advertiser is listing multiple products for sale, it is likely they may spend time.

Hi,

Is a great ajax chat script, its free.........

Eric Barnes · 05-26-2009, 01:49 PM

Do you know if they require user registration or not?

damiun + · 05-27-2009, 03:57 AM

Hi,

Yes, they do require user registration, but it is simple registration, no confirming, and only username, password (twice) and email.

So maybe its possible to make somekind of usershare just like the forum bridge mod....

I found a chat script,
and the maker is willing to help.

FleaIM - Free Ajax Chat Php & Asp Script

So maybe if someone is willing to cooperate with him, its possible for a low price.

can we integrate it with 68C? eg. use the users in 68C and mark as online when user is logged into 68C.

anyone interested to integrate a chat module in to 68C. what i want is a simple one ... like live support available on some sites. but here, the live support applies to individual sellers. when sellers are logged into 68C, on the viewlisting page of the sellers listings, user can see "Contact Seller / Live" icon to start a conversation with the seller. that's it.
