Most likely a stoopid question...

I think I know the answer to this but I’ve had a tentative enquiry from a potential client about including instant messaging as an add on to cms. Is this beyond webyep? I assume, from reading various articles, it would need expressionengine or the like? Any suggestions anyone?

Er… instant messaging, as in iChat, AIM, Messenger, etc? How would
that relate to content management systems? I’m not saying it couldn’t

  • but right this moment I can’t see how…

Sorry Keith, my terminology’s at fault. I guess what I was meant was not instant messaging but a sort of mini forum. Like this is, but it would only be available to the client’s clients.

There are hundreds of scripts for this on HotScripts and other code-
aggregating sites. Code like this will take a bit of work to integrate
with your site, particularly if you want it to appear to be a seamless
part of your page. There are also some “mash-up” systems like Disqus
that allow you to embed a comment system with a few lines of
JavaScript. If you handle the “client-only” part separately, Disqus
could be a good and simple fit.

So that wasn’t such a stoopid question after all? Yay! I must be learning something. Thanks for the help Walter - maybe Disqus could be incorporated into the site further on down the road…
