Anyone know if the Chat plugin can be used via web? I have 30 offices over half a state and that plugin would be very helpful. According to the doc’s, it can only be used within a LAN.
Anyone using this over the web?
Hi Detox,
I have no experience with the UDP plugin but you should know that when you use the webclient you are actually running a client on the server. Only the HTML is send to the browser.
So by that logic the UDP plugin is running on the same machine as all the other webclient users. I.e. the same LAN.
Now I am not sure the UDP plugin requires different IP’s but if it doesn’t then it should work.
Hope this helps.
Sorry to not be directly answering your question, but with 30 offices you really ought to be looking into purpose built chat software.
I’ve used openfire for about 4 years and like if very much. They have a jabber server, stand alone desktop client, a web client, and a flash client all for free.
