martinlanghoff 551d2b59bf chat: Prevent user from submitting a 2nd message before his 1st is received.
Some users reported that mod/chat was silently dropping some messages. The
user's browser may not be able to keep up with the rate at which he submits
chat messages. This update keeps things sane.

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!
