Fix for MDL-8515: Prefixing chat messages with a slash should not hide the user's name unless it's a special command we handle. I completely removed the emoticon handling case, but it seems like it was not needed for a long time now? Emoticons work just fine without it.
Official Chat Module for Moodle ------------------------------ The chat module now supports a backend daemon for more efficiency. It's still buggy and being worked on, but if you want to test it and help out here are some quick instructions: 1) Admin -> Config -> Modules -> Chat -> Settings 2) Set the method to "sockets" and set up the ports etc 3) Start the server like this (from the Unix command line): cd moodle/mod/chat php chatd.php --start & 4) Go to a chat room in Moodle and open it as normal. ------ KNOWN PROBLEMS - User list is not always working - Some browsers (eg Safari) cause lines to be repeated by 10 - 20 times - Occasionally "Document was empty" messages Help solving these very welcome!
