This component adds a mobile-first, individually styled web chat module to OSSN. You need the Pusher Channels service for realtime updates.
You'll want to add the link to the main menu AND/OR redirect logins directly to WebChat using the Component Admin page:

OSSN >= v5.6
OssnMessages >= 5.4
OssnServices >= 6.4
Private Network >= 5.4
FREE key from https://developers.giphy.com
FREE Channels app-key from www.pusher.com
https://kjbtech.co.uk/ossn
Demo site is running ossn 5.6, GreenByGreen theme and only has Private Network, API Services and WebChat components installed.
Add ossn credit
Message status dialog
Online status for group members

Hide blocked users from create new chat dialog

Decide on consistent naming convention throughout. Is it Groups / Chats / WebChat etc. Need to keep language consistent throughout.
Remove ALL error_log / console.log and debug responses
Finish tidying up code and commenting (if I have time to kill)
CSS animations / transitions to make the experience feel more app-like.
Sounds for sending/receiving messages
White border on giphy thumbnail selection
change giphy default search as it keeps failing
Encryption and Presence / Private Pusher Channels
Public/Private groups (to plan)
Voice and Video calls
Public Webcam broadcasts / channels
User Search by distance/gender etc
Who looked at me?
View and manage profile / galleries

I'd be grateful for feedback on how I could improve the component. Any bugs or issues please also report here.

Yeah, looks like ... Arsalan?!
Just in advance:
1. the section menu registering should be part of your init function
2. please make your component comply with https://www.opensource-socialnetwork.org/wiki/view/739/naming-convention-for-components-and-themes

Hi Kevin,
I would have tried, but it requires OssnServices 6.4
and available is 6.3 ... see

Does anyone know how I can hook in to a function from another component?
The web services component has the following:
ossn_services_apikey();
And I need to use that in the two pages so that you don't need to manually add an API key. I tried it and thought it was working (hence the 1.0 upload!) but it broke it. I had to add the key back in manually for now.
