Are the chats captured in the database? How is this info integrated with the site? I could see a huge use for this over discussion boards if the info is captured/searchable.

re: "ChatterBox" persistent chat session for SharePoint

sptblog — Tue, 15 May 2007 17:19:16 GMT

Kent, each chat message is captured as an item in a specified SharePoint list. Just like any other SharePoint list, the items are indexed and searchable.

Spoons, we're not ready to publicly disclose details about SP1, but rest assured that as soon as we're ready, I will announce it here first.

Please also make the new CKS forums implementation a separate download like you did with the chatterbox etc. Its original author is no longer maintaining it for SharePoint 2007.

Please make it optional to save chats, with the default being not to save them, it will save everyone a lot of storage and bandwidth.

Thank you, Tom

Does the 1000+ items size apply here as well then?

re: "ChatterBox" persistent chat session for SharePoint

Matt Swann — Thu, 17 May 2007 00:24:10 GMT

Robin,

Yes -- since ChatterBox stores each line in a SharePoint list, you're subject to the perf recommendations around keeping that list small. A short timer job to move all but the most recent N items to a folder would be one solution for this.

I've been testing this webpart and I think it only works for non WCM-enable sites, am I right? I think this is true because I successfully configure the webpart and it works until I publish the page... after this it doesn't work anymore nor register comments on the list. Another thing is that if I use this on a WSS site (non WCM site) once I leave the site and come back I have to reconfigure the webpart so it'll continue working.

re: "ChatterBox" persistent chat session for SharePoint

Matt Swann — Thu, 17 May 2007 07:33:38 GMT

Marcel,

Truth be told, I haven't tested ChatterBox with the MOSS publishing feature enabled -- I'll be sure to test the ASP.NET AJAX version in that scenario before we share it here.

Thanks for the heads-up!

Hi,

Chatter Box works fine for one site (Team Site) in the intranet and did not work for a personal page. I was able to configure the web part on the page but it does not work. The Chatterbox Text field has to be in the bottom, which is where it is in the Team Site, but when placed on the personal page it comes as the first (Top Left) item. Note : List item created for Team Site was "Chatter Box", but another List Item named "Chatter Box Chatter Box" got created automatically where all comments got stored. The BackList Item is still "Chatter Box". This was not getting created in the personal site and the comments don't go the BackList Item mentioned. Also the User Name in personal site gets defaulted back to <UserName> though it was changed in the previous occasion.

Finally I am trying all this on MOSS 2007

re: "ChatterBox" persistent chat session for SharePoint

Matt Swann — Fri, 18 May 2007 21:29:45 GMT

Jerry,

I haven't tested ChatterBox on MOSS sites. I'll be sure and do that before releasing the ASP.NET AJAX version.

Thanks!

ChatterBox Too good

Jerry Gerald — Mon, 21 May 2007 13:13:02 GMT

Hi Matt, Hey man it works. Well U just need to customize the List item a bit so that the column User Name and Created By gets picked up. Well I believe the ChatterBox should automatically populate these fields but in MOSS its still struggling I guess:) Anyways after this slight modification it does work. And about the 1000 mark, Cant it automatically keep archiving data in the List and cleaning up the List. This should not hinder the performance. And though this ChatterBox can be associated with a scrap book viewable to all cant it be customized to allow rights that only the owner and the other person sees personal chats and not everybody else. The chat window can be public for team discussion or private for internal discussions, cant that be made?

Another nice feature would be the ability to create private chat sessions, but having no programming background, I have no idea what I'm really asking for...

In order fot the web part to work. you actually need to refresh your browser session. Log-on to your SP site. Go to your page where the chatterbox web part is located. Refresh your browser. the web part will start working and the tex you type will start showing up.

While the web part works great, I am having a problem with the "Title URL" which is automatically being populated with an incorrect URL (the correct URL should be http://myserver/site/chatterboxlist/allitems.aspx but the web part is generating http://myserver/site/site/chatterboxlist/allitems.aspx). When I try to overwrite it, it works until I refresh the page again, when it refreshes with the wrong URL again. Any idea where it is pulling this URL from and how I can overwrite it?

Chatterbox- how to make a cab

oana — Fri, 02 May 2008 17:27:44 GMT

Ok, I got this working. Here are the steps for creating a cab after you modify the code:

- bring manifest.xml, package.ddf and ChatterItems.asmx in your solution

- modify them accordingly (cab name, assembly name, path to the solution)

- modify the code as needed in the chatterbox class

- add these 2 lines in the postBuid events:

cd "C:\....(path to my folder)\ChatterBox\"

MakeCAB /f "package.ddf"

- sign the assembly and deploy it to the GAC

- run the stsadm command line. If you copy/paste from the Readme.doc, make sure it is on one line only. Check if the entry in the webconfig is correct (look at the publickeytoken, version# , culture and safe="true")

- populate the web part gallery

- place the webpart on the page

That's it.

Urantian — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 02:47:10 GMT

I started using ChatterBox today, after a co-worker described what she needed on her site. This tool will work very well.

However, there is one problem that can be duplicated. If a new SharePoint site is created on an existing collection, as in a new tab, and then the ChatterBox is added, clicking on "ChatterBox" goes to the wrong URL for the Item List. The name of the site is inserted twice in the URL.

I went into the web part modications where the Advanced section allows for the URL to be updated. It shows the repeated portion, and I adjusted it. This works---until the site page is refreshed, which causes the URL to be wrong again.
