    Backoffice chat

    Using Umbraco And Getting Started
    Umbraco 7

    Hi everyone!

    Does anyone have an idea of how we could implement a backoffice chat in Umbraco 7? We would like our backoffice Users to be able to send direct messages to each other.

    Obviously we'd need a few extra tables, but does anyone have an idea on how to start?

    We were thinking of creating a new section, and having the chat display in one custom dashboard for that section.

    All opinions are welcomed. Thanks a lot in advance!

    Hey EV,

    Actually this should be "reasonably" okay to do depending on the version of Umbraco 7 you are using. The later versions ship with SignalR as part of it so you could build a SignalR chat dashboard :-).

    This could give you the ability to do group messaging/general chat, and direct DM's to indivduals.

    FYI, I've not done it in Umbraco, but I have messed around with SignalR to build a basic chat app. Most SignalR tutorials seem to be around doing this :-)

    Hi Nik,

    Thank you for replying!

    We're using version 7.15.3, which means that we already have SignalR too. I guess the only thing left is to try.

    If you think of anything else we might need to take into consideration, please let us know!

    Have a nice day. :)
