Moodle Plugins directory: Global Chat | Moodle.org
This plugin introduces a chat for Moodle very similar to Google Chat or Facebook Chat. It uses a block to list all online users that are part of all courses a user is subscribed to, and opens a chat window on the bottom of the page when a online user is clicked.
The advantages of this chat are:
- Users don't need to open a separate window to use this chat, while Moodle activity chat needs them to do so;
- A user can establish a real time conversation with other online users subscribed to the courses this user belongs to;
- Users can change between pages and their open conversations will always be there;
If you are a student use it to collaborate with your colleagues, or to ask questions to your teachers.
If you are a teacher use it to communicate with your students individually.
We believe Moodle needs a different chat concept, that's why we decided to create this plugin. It still needs some improvement, but first we would like to know what people think about this idea

For me, rapidly it is showing "The connection with the server was lost!" with my centos server and moodle 2.5. Even i configured supervisord.conf but no luck still getting the same error. Here the question is why disconnection is happening after some time and in the logs it is saying "An error has occurred: Error reading from database". It is quite interesting i don't know, after disconnection happens if i kill port running then it is connecting(I know this is happening because of supervisor). Can you please help with this hell??

Error: Database connection failed
It is possible that the database is overloaded or otherwise not running properly.
The site administrator should also check that the database details have been correctly specified in config.php
!!!
The moodle instance is working fine, I even tried changing the config to use root user for DB, but got same message. Just wondering if you ever came a cross the error before.
Php version is PHP 5.5.14 (cli)
Any advice appreciated.
Hello , I downloaded your plugin and loved the idea of it ! But I use a theme called Essential ( https://moodle.org/plugins/view.php?plugin=theme_essential ) , it seems that your plugin and theme are not compatible ... When I'm logged in the default theme for Moodle chat works normally, but when I'm using Essential chat does not appear , a white band only appears in his place at the footer of the site . What should I do to fix the problem ?
This is working fine in Moodle 2.6 and Windows Server 2008 and 2012.
However, I'm exploring the working combinations for browsers. So far, on the Mac - I need to use Firefox and the PC, Internet Explorer to pick up all Global Chat users. Otherwise, I get fewer people. I'm going to see if I can pinpoint the best browser versions/configs.
Bruno - This is a fantastic plugin.
Thank you for your hard work.
Gracias
Feliz tarde.
Fiz a instalação do plugin, porém quando adiciono ele ao curso acaba aparecendo apenas uma mensagem "The connection with the server was lost!"
O que pode ser isso? Problema na configuração/instalação talvez?
I installed and completed the required settings during the Moodle 2.8, but unfortunately it does not work.
In the near future will you update to the Moodle 2.8 the Gchat module?
Thanks in advance!
I've installed this plugin on my Moodle Website with Moove Theme but it's not showing anything even if it's active in plugins list.
What should i do? My Moodle Version is 3.3
How to fix?
