Question uddeIM on Joomla 4

Thanks, I do not want to became crazy, i need a normal use of IM alike other big forum software. Kunena is very known forum software and I have a very big forum. But the PM is a very needed part of the forum. The kunena staff did not implemented into their code. I made a mistake in choosing it but the mistake is made and I cannot change forum software. For me a forum software has to be also a PM changing software. So I hope that the staff will code it. But I don't think that they will create that big function, why did not do it in the past?

I had a sweet integration going between Kunena, Community Builder, and uddeIM.  If you have not made any custom code changes to your old uddeIM,  you could just copy over all the files ( in /component/com_uddeim and /administrator/component/com_uddeim ).  I hope the Kunena developers update the uddeIm integration. I also still have a problem with the CB integration.
JChatSocial provides a message system too that is more like Facebook Messenger. Unfortunately it does not integrate with anything. UddeIM's Meio autocomplete is not working and the message encryption library mcrypt was removed from official PHP,  but you can still install that.

Hello,

At the time that we heard that UddeIm won't be developped for Joomla! 4.0 and beyond we where in the developpement of Kunena 6.0, this was a long road with many headchaches and plenty things broken to fix
In K6.1, we have a PM-like but it works in different way than UddeIm
Maybe we should re-consider it and for a future version introduce a true PM feature

Hi guys
Great news! Handing over the project after preparing it for Joomla 4 is an exciting step. If the development hasn't begun yet, this is the perfect opportunity to dive in

Thanks Administrator. Consider it. The PMs are very important in a forum. Consider to implement that engine because we need it. Thanks.

(weird - quick reply didn't show my message, so just posting again)
Today, CB is working to send a message thru uddeIM. The CB plugin in components/com_comprofiler/plugin/user/plug_pms_mypmspro/library/  did not have to be changed - the API of J4 version of uddeIM has not changed.

In K6.1 it does have a very weird PM system, and I wonder what the reasons are behind it.
We used UddeIM with K5 and it was great, all of our club members really liked it, so if there was a way to revisit the PM system in K6 it would be really good.

Just as an aside , K6 is very user friendly and clearer - Thanks!

Does the PM in K6.1 work? And if yes, how to configure it? We can contribute to give to the staff some good suggestions. A PM system in the forum is very important.

Yes xillibit, please consider this, it's a VERY IMPORTANT part for a forum, also just to mention that I have some friends who have Joomla websites but are not write here in the forum but they told me that they are very upset and sad after uddeIM stopped development for Joomla 4 and said that their sites feel "naked" without this and their users also ask for it!

I have a suggestion, can you consider to take over to make an upgrade for UddeIM for Joomla 4? Make a poll if users interested to make a payment so to be developed a compatible version for uddeIm from you who owns the great Kunena forum all these years and know all these better than anyone.

Personally I will also pay you with pleasure if you do a call for help for development of uddeIM and I believe almost all users will be glad to do it!

Please think about it! Time already has passed!

Thank you and I cross my fingers!!!!!

Well it does , but you message the original poster , via the thread. It appears as a secure post that only you and the original poster (and the admin) can read.
I can't see our club members using it, so will probably disable it when the option appears
