Global Private Messaging/Disabled events on a per room basis

Postby mrpinc » 10 Nov 2009, 18:14

After posting (with no response) about my problems with private messaging to non-buddylist users I believe I've come to realize it is not possible currently with Smartfox.

I think it would be greatly beneficial if I were able to send a private message to any user in a zone and have the sender object sent with it. Currently you can sort of do this with everyone connected to a limbo room but even then no sender object is sent so if you receive a private message from a user who is not on your buddy list then it is impossible to find out who the sender is.

I do understand that this functionality can be created via server side extension but to me it just seems like something that should be available in the default API.

On a similar note I believe it would be possible to create this functionality by creating a room with certain feature disabled (like a limbo room) but not all. It would be nice to be able to enable/disable events/action on a room by room basis. Although I am not certain that this would be guaranteed to allow global private messaging.

Hi,
as regards private messages it's our intention to improve it by sending user data together to with the message to allow full cross-room messaging with users non knowing each others.

As regards Rooms, our next major update will provide more flexible Room objects with fine-grained event configuration, runtime changes of name, password, capacity etc... new Room management features, Room filtering in the Zone and lots more :)

Stay tuned.
