[Plugin: Envolve Chat] Buddypress: How-To – Group-internal chats

  • Hey,

    I’ve been using Envolve chat for a bit now and really dig it – the only thing that I really wanted were group-internal chats. With the help of #buddypress-dev (freenode) I was able to splice something together. Thanks a lot boonebgorges ??

    Simply add this to your header/footer:

    <!-- Envolve Chat -->
    <script type="text/javascript">
    var envoOptions={
    <?php if ( bp_is_group() ) : ?>
    chats : [{id : '<?php $group = groups_get_current_group(); echo $group->slug ?>', name : '<?php $group = groups_get_current_group(); echo $group->name ?>'}],
    groups : [{id : '<?php $group = groups_get_current_group(); echo $group->slug ?>-users', name : '<?php $group = groups_get_current_group(); echo $group->name ?>-Users'}]
    <?php endif ?>
	};
    </script>

    If you’re on any groups-page you’ll find the respective chat-tab next to your other chat-rooms.

    …and if you want the chats only to be visible for users of the groups you just use:

    <?php if ( bp_is_group() && groups_is_user_member( bp_loggedin_user_id(), bp_get_current_group_id() ) ) : ?>

    Thanks again boonebgorges

    And, for a final fix, this will make the group-chat only be visible inside of groups by group-members while the general chat will always be visible:

    <script type="text/javascript">
    var envoOptions={
    <?php if ( bp_is_group() && groups_is_user_member( bp_loggedin_user_id(), bp_get_current_group_id() ) ) : ?>
    chats : [{id : '<?php $group = groups_get_current_group(); echo $group->slug ?>', name : '<?php $group = groups_get_current_group(); echo $group->name ?>'}],
    <?php endif ?>
    groups : [{id : 'everyone', name : 'Everyone'}<?php if ( bp_is_group() && groups_is_user_member( bp_loggedin_user_id(), bp_get_current_group_id() ) ) : ?>, {id : '<?php $group = groups_get_current_group(); echo $group->slug ?>-users', name : '<?php $group = groups_get_current_group(); echo $group->name ?>-Users'}<?php endif ?>]};
    </script>

    In this case the group of the static-chat (configurable in the backend of envolve chat) has to be set to “everyone”. I hope that’s the last iteration, heh.
