Conditionally Turn On Off Chat module

[Jakir]

HI,

I am using BBB 0.81 currently.I need to turn on off chat module at the run-time. How it will be possible.Should there will be any parameter in config file to turn on off this module so something pass from flash var.

Regards,

Jakir

You could create a dynamic config.xml and remove the chat module node from the file. Removing the chat module from config.xml will stop the module from starting when the client is loaded. I don't think there are any hidden dependencies on the chat module, but I would suggest thoroughly testing the client to make sure everything still functions.

Hi,

Should anyone knows from which file call for config.xml get called i have to make some conditionally load different config files from there.

Hi Jakir,

See the following API example

for an how to turn off features by dynamically modifying the config.xml.  See also this overview video

Jakir, look close at the layout.xml file in conf directory. you can
create a custom layout that hides chat, and then set it as default.
Then the moderator can toggle anytime and change layout when chat is
to be made available manually or you can use the javascript api
examples to do it programmatically.

Hi All,

Unable to load unload Chat module at run time.

My scenario is like in my config.xml i pass chat module but at the time of load module by use of some condition i load or unload chat module in Config.as in

public function isModulePresent(name:String):Boolean {

var mn:XMLList = config.modules..@name;

var found:Boolean = false;

for each (var n:XML in mn) {

if (n.toString().toUpperCase() == name.toUpperCase()) {

if(n.toString() == "ChatModule" && (BBB.initUserConfigManager().enabledChat() == "false")){

found = false;

}else{

found = true;

}

break;

}

}

return found;

}

like that but it always load chat module how i can load and unload chat module at run time.

Hi Jakir,

We would recommend you try a different approach to hiding the chat module.  Use the new layout manager in 0.81-beta.  You can control which layout a user gets on startup (using dynamic config.xml), a moderator can lock all users so they can't change their layout, and you can dynamically change the layout -- such as switching to a layout that does not show the chat module -- using the JavaScript API.  

See this overview video for how you can do the above.

In short, you should be able to accomplish what you want with hiding/unhiding the chat module with the new API in 0.81-beta. 

Give the above a try and let us know if you run into problems.

Regards,... Fred
