whats up david, do you have a step by step with the messaging with repeaters code? need help bad

Hi David,
In your code you pull from a “Member_Database”. I was wondering if this is a collection that you created on your site, or one that wix gives us access to if we incorporate the login feature on our site. I ask because it would be nice to avoid asking users for a profile picture if they already have one associated with their facebook or google account that they used to sign in.
Thanks,
Eric

Hi Eric, yes this is a separate dataset I have created that contains any and all member info. So anytime I want a certain member data I can just reference their “_id” in that dataset. In this case I am pulling in each respective members photo and name info.

You could technically pull info from their Facebook or google accounts, but you would need to do research on using each of their third party API’s . It’s possible but I haven’t yet coded out. The info in my member databases are all self populated at the moment.

Hi David,
I tried about everything you have written but it just doesn’t work… I really need the messenger… Any way to give more code or some steps to follow? other solutions?

25

You can look at this post of ours, where we explain how to install it correctly.

Hi David, would there be an opportunity for you to set this up on my site? A paid job of course?

Hey Adam, unfortunately I’m not a developer, this is all just a passion project and hobby for me. Also, this is a cool and creative work around for a chat but in hindsight maybe not the most efficient way to do it. I can’t find it off top my head but Andreas Kviby has a Slack API implementation either on his website Wix Show or on these forums. It’s not an easy task, but that’s probably the route you want to go to do this the right way.

good luck!

Check this out. The chat’s functions are very limited though

No worries - I’m far from one so I had to ask! Thanks David!

@abearguelles I really like this! The ‘my chats’ view is the most functional for my needs I think. Would there be a way to have the name of the chat session in “my Chats” appear in bold if there were unread messages?
Are you a contractor abe who could set this up on my site and integrate with my member area (still building the custom member login part).
If you’re looking to do some contract work there are a few things I could use some skilled help with on my site to bring it all together?

I’ve been watching this youtube series and so far it’s been pretty informative. He claims to be able to explain everything around a social networkng and how to build it on wix, although he is very long winded. Not watched all of it yet but supposed to discuss p2p msg in the final segment

32

@adam50410 Hi Adam. Are you still looking for someone that could setup chat feature on your website? My cousin is a developer and I can refer you to him. Just let me know.

33

@tomnetver30 mate I’ve found someone on Upwork who is now helping me with this and a few other thing I wanted done. Thanks for the referral offer though :slight_smile:

34

If you don’t like to code all this and you want

  • Notifiations

  • Private chats

  • And more
    you should have a look at “Wix Chat” in the app market. You can enable Members chat in the settings.

35

Could you please tell me which elemens’ ID should be what? And how should the collection and the dataset be named?

36

@david-seroy could you please help me with that?

37

I think that this is what @david-seroy meant: https://www.wix.com/corvid/forum/community-discussion/connecting-slack-and-wix-code by Andreas’s Slack implementation. Unfortunately, WixShow doesn’t exist anymore as Andreas left the Wix platform.
It looks like Andreas didn’t quite do a private user-to-user chat, but maybe that’s doable too…
@david-seroy why do you think that would be a better solution?
Also, I believe your solution does’t actually refresh results the conversation to see whether someone responded, does it? Any tips how to go about that?

38

@brett-haralson @yisrael-wix is there any chance you guys/Wix could provide information for peer-to-peer chat coding? Andreas Kivby seemed to have a video course on his site, but it’s unfortunately not up anymore https://www.wix.com/corvid/forum/community-discussion/connecting-slack-and-wix-code
Would you guys be able to at least help us get that video, or post information on how to do such an integration?
It looks like p2p chat, with more functionality that is available in Wix Chat, is needed by many people. I need to create a chat which i can control and show information from in different ways, places, and languages.
Any solutions/help?

Hi Plon,

With the new chat + corvid integration I think that you can do what you looking for:

Please play with it and you can advice what you missing …
