How to implement a scalable community chat system with Memberstack: handling user registration, messaging limits, and emoji support? Answered

I have a few questions concerning if I am using the "live chat" community commenting component:

  1. I have a lot of users commenting, will I ever hit a "max allowed" comments?
  2. Will the community dashboard only save the last 1000 comments, deleting older comments as new ones come in?
  3. Will there be an emoji implementation in the future?

    1. Awesome! We do not have any max limits. And if this every becomes an issue we could negotiate pricing to continue scaling.
    2. It will save all comments
    3. Possibly - most likely via custom code to start.

    Hi everyone, I have a quick question. Has anyone here implemented a Community Space project where users get registered when they sign up for an event? In this Community Space, the users should be listed and able to message each other through a chat. Does anyone have experience with something like this and can tell me if it’s possible with Memberstack and how to properly implement the chat feature?

    You can do it using Talk.Js.

    Memberstack has a template that you see an example of chat implementation. In this case, Company users can start chat with applicant users https://www.memberstack.com/webflow-templates/premium-job-board

    But in summary, as a logged in user you send to talk js your member id, and the id from the listed user to start a conversation.

    Hi guys, how are you doing?
    We have any tool / component that allows our users to message each other via an inbox message?
    (I'm not talking about the comments component)

    Hey Boggan - I’d recommend talk.js personally - while it’s not cheap, it’s super feature rich, customizable, and works great with Memberstack!

    We have a tutorial on how to synchronize it? Is it complex?

    Here's a free cloneable that you can explore and take inspiration from for setting it up in your project, it comes with a video guide as well.
