Group.now not synced?

[Ben Corne]

Hello again

This time I'm here with a question regarding group's .now property.

Here's the scenario:

A user logs in, sits in the lobby and joins a room.

This operation adds him to the now.js#Group of the room, emitting a join event by now.js itself;

This event is captured and the group is notified of a new group member: mygroup.now.receiveRoomMessage(user.name+' joined the room.')

On the client side, the now object has getters and setters for receiveRoomMessage, however, when I log the serverside group's now: console.log(mygroup.now) it always prints an empty object.

After multiple joins it still stays empty so it's not like the method isn't propagated yet.

Any clues?

Kind regards

Ben

A bit of clarification:

The example from examples/multiroomchat_example

-----------------

everyone.now.changeRoom = function(newRoom){
  this.now.distributeMessage("[leaving " + this.now.room + "]");
  nowjs.getGroup(this.now.room).removeUser(this.user.clientId);
  nowjs.getGroup(newRoom).addUser(this.user.clientId);
  this.now.room = newRoom;
  this.now.distributeMessage("[entering " + this.now.room + "]");
  var that = this;
  nowjs.getGroup(this.now.room).count(function(count){
    var prettyCount = (count === 1) ? "Room is empty." : (count - 1) + " other(s) in room.";
    that.now.receiveMessage("SERVER", "You're now in " + that.now.room + ". " + prettyCount);
  });
}

everyone.now.distributeMessage = function(message){
  nowjs.getGroup(this.now.room).now.receiveMessage(this.now.name, message);
};

-------------------

To me, this means that a group object's now should be able to perform now calls just like on the everyone group.

I'm building a smaller example than the one I'm working on so I can share easily.

Hey Ben,

Are you saying that the functionality doesn't work or that the group's now object looks empty when you do a console.log? Or both?
