I am a web designer and a php coder ! My programming experience and knowledge started with My C++ courses at university more than 15 yrs ago. I have a question or a concern and I need advice.
I wanted to develop some kind of chat room, online, web based chat room, but this chat room would be a chat room where a soccer coach could invite his players to prepare a game or a practice session, in order to go over certain tactics, player or ball movements, and/ or drills, etc. ( you get the idea ! ) while off course - inter communication can also be done among the parties, questions, explanations etc... just like a normal chat room but with visual and animated elements that can be access and controlled by the coach . I was wondering, what tool ( or framework) or programming language would be best suited for such an application ? an application that could be a plugin to be installed and that could be accessed within a custom social network for example .. ?? any clues or direction would be very appreciated !!! ... thank you.

PS. I used Netbeans and Yii Framework for the online web app ( a social network )... How would I go about creating this special chat room that we should probably name it .. or call it : " an online soccer tactic & drill room ".

  • You could check out the Google+ Hangout API which was recently moved out of developer preview. developers.google.com/+/hangouts/
  • Well, developing a chat might be time consuming and of course you need a server, support and tackle performance issues.

    You can choose a simple solution of embedding in your game the FREE RumbleTalk chat.
    * It can be Floating chat, or embed in a page
    * people can add images and videos in the chat room.
    * Admin can ban people
    * chatters can login with their facebook and twitter.
    * You can design your own look and feel.
  • You can use .net framework, Ruby, Ajax to create a web chat which must store history of all chats and refresh inside an environment.
  • Hi BoyoWeb,

    I'm in the middle of one such project at work (basically the commercial replacement of zopim chat).

    Its fairly trivial, however the approach I have taken (due to the requirements) is as follows:

    Created a generic .net .ashx handler.

    Created a mini JavaScript library for the client side communications via XJAX.

    I used JSONP via XJAX to communicate with the server.

    The target script can be placed in any website and it creates the "chat function" ala Zopim style.

    At the back end I created a separate page for "Agents" to log in and chat to "customers".
  • You might also consider an IRC service with a GUI interface, it probably would be the easiest to implement. My guess is you could find some modules for WP, Drupal or Joomla to interface to the IRC.
