Hello,

I am using JChat standalone on my site. Instead of using any social extension like JomSocial or Community Builder, I am developing some of their functionality on my own. I want to use JChat as a WhatssApp like messaging system for users.

Are there any tables where I can manage the users chat list (private chat) and is there a way to integrate chat rooms for specific users only in the private chat?

Basically I want my private chat to function as a standalone messaging system between users. Once logged in, I want a user to see only those users that he has a connection with and all groups he created or is part of.

When I create a custom group with my own extension, I can write to other database tables as well. Therefore I would like to JChat tables that manage what users are shown in chat and what groups.

Hello,

please contact me directly by email for this technical questions, much more easy to explain and communicate.

There are no specific tables used to manage users in the list, they are based on current logged in users in Joomla. If it's used standalone there are some filters that you can activate, for example to allow chat between users belonging to the same group.

I think that developing a solution as you asked is similar to the existing 'Filter by friendship' option already present when the integration with JomSocial, Easysocial, etc is present.
