I have not looked at this extension but from this comment

and set write permission for
ext/florinp/messenger/db/messages.db

I am guessing that you intend writing some data into a folder within the extension. If this is so can I just point out that if you do so then it is unlikely that the extension would be approved as any data from an extension cannot be written into the extension folder - you should use either the store or files folder. Also you should attempt to set the folder permissions from within the extension.

This file will be temporary. When the extension will be at the release point this file will be deleted.

I have the same problem as @FomenkoAndrey
After instalation i see a chat box but its blank, can't see any users online.
I did something wrong ?

[Florin Pavel]

i see only empty chat box

Because the ext uses zebra module checks if the user is friend with other user and viceversa

Thank You, works great !
Is there a option to change send message from shift+enter to only enter ?
If yes, how can I do this ?
