Chat Room Plugin

This is a self hosted chat room that uses WebSocket technology, so it may or may not be necessary to enable this on your server; using IIS Express from visual studio works fine.

It's open source and hosted on github. Available for all versions of nopCommerce that are .NET 4.5 and above.

There is a Html snippet that needs editing and pasting into a page, we are releasing as-is to the community, contributions are welcome.

please change {hostname} in chatroom.html to your own.

var ws = new WebSocket("ws://{hostname}/chat/socket");

There's a blog http://nopcontent.com/garbage-collector-experiment regarding the next stage of development beyond this plugin being a chat room. And we'll continue to update it while there is interest.

thanks,
