Oh uh, and forgot to mention, that the messager uses your autocompleter also!! :)
Don't know why it doesn't sync with ffox 2.0.0.13 correctly, but am working on a patch for this :)

Hi there!
Just wanted to let you (all) know that the system is now implemented and working like a charm, after setting the utf-decodings to the script handling the insertion of messages.

I have received tons of requests on how to implement my messaging system to other sites, but I'ven't packaged this into a feasible "product" yet - maybe when I launch the RIAJab v2 cms (some day far far from now :D ), I'll implement it into the core :)

If you like to test the system, just go to http://www.tuhma.fi/2.0/sit... and give your email, full name and a logon name, receive a notice in your email, follow the link and you're set to instant message me :)

And if you wan't to check the newsfeeder, it's on the front page, just check the "Näytä popup-uutiset" and the news should start roaring :)

Hi there, Harald!

I just wanted to let you know, that my messaging system is now in beta, and that if you'd like to see it in action, just go to http://www.tuhma.fi/ and register yourself as a user, I'll put you in Toimittajat (journalist) user group, and give you access to the messaging system...

Atm my only problem is that I've a specific charset (iso-8859-1) in use and I can't seem to get my forms to post the data in iso-8859-1, because I see malformed entities (ä = Ã¤) in the mysql-database, so my nickname follower doesn't show up the messages properly and if scands are used in the nickname, the message never delivers... (if your nickname ie käpäyttäjä, and you send the message, it delivers the message to kÃ¤pÃ¤yttÃ¤jÃ¤)

Well you could use your nick - digitarald - and have no problem whatsoever, when not using html-entities or scands (äöå) in your posts, so give it a whiff ;)

Yah! Thank you very very much mister!! :))
I got it to work perfectly, the php-load time decreased from 1.5 to 1.1 sec after hash object set in place (I'm using trunk 1547 non compressed + a lot of test js getting loaded, as well as huge amount of data from the mysql-server - so a lot of overhead), so about 1/3 boost to the page load *claps hands*
Now I'm concentrating on the messaging system, I'll bump an update here when done.

Thanks once again!
Sincerely yours,
Jabis

Humm, I bumped into a wall trying your solution to use the Hash();

In your examples, and in your class, you're using an array inside an array, and if I just try to combine the Hash Object into the original array(array()) code, It'll produce an error (as I was predicting) that the getRandom() isn't a function (nor should it be, because we're dealing with Hash Object instead of an Array Object, so now what would be the correct way to populate the key-value(or url-summary in this case) inside the feed array, so I wouldn't need to rewrite/extend your fully working class?

I already tried an approach using myTestHash.getKeys() and myTestHash.getValues() for the feed array, but got only the first/last key-value pair to show up... (would provide the code, but already forgot which test.js it was on, and several different tests going on atm :D )

Sorry if this is a bugger for you - I'm sure I can manage on my own if you'ven't the time, but for a mootools/javascript novice, these pointers are very very helpful, whilst reading and discovering things from the documentation :)

I actually turned away from RIA's like flex and flash, once I discovered mootools framework - the main reason being (aside the cross-platform&no-plugin point) that I learned to implement (developing with mootools since last month) already about 85 percent of the things I've earlier created with ActionScript&php & heavy swf's... The downside now being that a whole "new" language and the syntax needs to be quickly adopted as my bread hangs upon ME developing for my clients :D

Too much off topic here nao, but hope you get the idea :)

Hi there!

First off; a great class showing some MooTools 1.2 :) Many many thanks for this!

I'm releasing a site in the nearby future and am going to utilize Roar as an instant messaging system for user to user comms. Imho a fascinating (and easy thanks to your class) approach to this subject, cause not much is needed, as the site's already heavily Ajaxified(or should I say Requestified in terms of 1.2b ;D )

The Roarmother will be checking for new messageroars periodically, and have them pinned down to the page until user intercepts em with ignore or reply commands, if ignore pressed the messageroar is dumped from Roar and cleared from the database; reply reveals an input field inside the messageroar intercepted, and when submitted, sends the replyroar to user and executes the ignore command for this message.

There's also a newsfeed for which Roar is already utilized. It's dumping random summaries from the sites news - that was relatively easy, as my summaries were already in hidden divs and are tweened visible via ajaxified links, so I'm getting the contents as easily as follows:

`var toaddlinks = $$('#news a').get('href');
var myFeed = new Array();
var myCol = $$('.summary').get('html');
for(var i = 0; i < toaddlinks.length-1; i++){
myFeed[i] = [myCol[i], toaddlinks[i]] ;
}
feed.combine(myFeed); `

I really didn't have any other question to you, but to the feed combining, is this way a best practice way - or should I use some other method in combining feeds etc? I'm handling up to hundreds of newslinks and summaries and am concerned about the selectors etc which can create a huge lag and load to the site, so that's why I'm asking :)

Hope to hear from you soon, and once over the alpha, I'll showcase my project to you :)
