[Vlad] I think we can try the following:
1. He must work on the code version in the repository (this is
the version that Proppy got working on his and my server)
2. a simple html integration - basically include a js in a
html file that will initialize the chat and have it working
3. php hooks for authentication - call to a php file from
within the authentication js file. The php will return the result of the
authentication as well as username and the js will set the necessary cookies so
that the user is authenticated in the chat. In our case, I think php will
always return a succesfull authentication. Even if the user is not loggedin,
php will return Guest1234.. so that the user can chat.
- call to a php file
that will return the list of friends, probably in json format (but any format
will do).
4. php hooks for bot - the ability for a php script to send
messages to the server
- the ability for the server to launch
a php file once a message is received (this will help with the
wait_for_action(REPLY)). Maybe we can use the groups feature here (a BOT group
and if the message is intended for a user in this group, the server knows it
must send it to php.
I think this will be good as a starting point.
