[SUGGESTION - PLUGIN] - Private Messaging System
« on: February 10, 2012, 02:24:43 pm »
First of all, i have no idea at all if i may post this kind of topic here. But here it is....

My buddy and i thinks that a messaging system plugin shall be develop for osclass.

This way, sellers and buyers could have the chance completing their transaction via osclass' messaging system (similar to the messaging system used in this forum).

Contact via email is not bad, but we think it may cause delays in communication between buyers and sellers.

If anybody else here is very much interested in this plugin, just post your comments here, your suggestions too and other features that you wish to include, for a messaging system plugin.

In my end... i like the following features to be included in a Private Messaging System Plugin:

- When a user sends a message, it shall include an option to save the outgoing message  to an outbox folder.

- A Drafts folder

- An option to print or download the message conversation between seller and buyer, this feature is useful, when there's a dispute between users. they may use the downloaded copy of their conversation, as evidence.

- A Contact this user button shall be placed in the user's listing page and profile page.

- Plus other more features....

We know that osclass' developers is composed of a small team and we know how busy they are, and they lacks financial resources.

So, for the development of this plugin, all interested parties shall agree to donate at least $10. so as the developing team shall have the fuel to create and develop this private messaging plugin.

If anyone agrees... just post your feedback here.

Hi,

I agree with this suggestion and idea to donate,
there are lot's of scripts in Internet maybe we can use them as inspiration.



what message itself affects, it can be a  simple text
1. its fast comunication
2. user will spend more time on our pages,
3. and i dont like to much emails that will be sent to users, it's anoying

I can donate 15 € for this plugin

I add...


maybe we can implamate this Messaging System in cind of "user info box",
I have already created user info box for my page,


few weeks ago I have spoken with one of great forum members, he told me he will make "info box" plugin if time permits

it will be huge to integrate massanger in cind of "user info box"

it could look like this, or what do you think?

Hi cosmicx & ingo,

A Private Messaging system would be very nice to have. I have been meaning to build a Personal Messaging plugin for osclass for quite some time now but have not had the time. Things are starting to slow down and I could develop this plugin. I like all the ideas you have for this plugin. About the only one I can think of is using a flash message to alert the user that they have a new message. I also think we should have a sent folder or something like that I will think on that some more.

@ingo,

I think we could integrate the personal message into your "user Info box" I should have time today to make your user info box into a plugin.

@cosmicx,

I would be looking at about a week to 2 weeks to develop this plugin.

I will try to get started on it next week. As today I am going to spend researching pm systems and see what other features a pm system may benefit from.

This has been on my wish list for a long time. A watchout is the forum integration plugin that's also currently being discussed. All forums have a private messaging system and if they are integrated properly this will also bring PM functionality to OSClass.

Hi Ingo,

That is a great idea to have a dropdown box for sending a pm message from the item window.

No issues with donation, I donated in the past as well. I think this plugin should be high priority.

@akapar

yeah, thats right.

that's why we're encouraging the development team to prioritize on this plugin and considered donating a few bucks.

user have so many suggestions and plugin request, but don't bother to consider donating.

so much are you willing to donate for this plugin?
