I need to create chat functionality (same as linkedIn messaging) in DNN. How to do that in DNN(C#)?
Not supprisngly, example that Microsoft uses to explain SignalR usage is chat app
And chat is also common target for many SignalR tutorials on the web
There is a blog post here. http://www.dnnsoftware.com/community-blog/cid/151246/using-signalr-with-dotnetnuke-modules
Older article but still should be relevant.

My query is related to Mesibo Javascript SDK. I have integrated Mesibo into my website and was testing it on all browsers but the chat popup does't seem to be working specifically on Microsoft edge. Here is the video of the same: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1yyzJn-LDRYAjLQb4DZLOg4i5ApCR9i4W/view?usp=sharing
Can somone please tell me if Mesibo SDK is usually not compatible with Microsoft Edge browser and if not, how can the problem on the video be fixed.
Apart from that, can you also please tell me if the Javascript SDK for Mesibo provides an API to tell the user if he has a new message in a chat (like whatsapp displays "1" on a chat if there is a new message from that person)
Thanks.
mesibo API does not provide any UI, what you are using is the sample code which you can modify to suit your needs.
Read tutorials here, you need to set listener to get new message notification. https://mesibo.com/documentation/tutorials/first-app/js/
There is no LinkedIn-specific library from Microsoft like Microsoft.AspNet.Authentication.Facebook. The third party libraries I tried are designed for ASP.NET4.5.
I also waiting for middleware for LinkedIn authentication from aspnet team, but look like they have no plans to create it - read LinkedIn Authentication and Will we have a Authentication.LinkedIn.

No, but there's a comunity implementation available here: aspnet-contrib/AspNet.Security.OAuth.Providers
You can try this one above and please let me know if it's working well, please.
Also You can create middleware yourself based on generic OAuth middleware...
Check aspnet/Security repo on GitHub, and read LinkedIn Authenticating with OAuth 2.0 article.
As Lukasz pointed out, you can use the LinkedIn provider in the https://github.com/aspnet-contrib/AspNet.Security.OAuth.Providers project. I wrote that provider and it is just a thin layer on top of the built-in generic OAuth2 provider.
It you want to use the generic OAuth2 provider directly, you can also look at this blog post which takes you step-by-step through the entire process:

I'd like to embed a skype chat box into my website. Is that possible? I'm running a LAMP architecture but am open to using a different vps if needed
Have you tried Start chat ?
UPDATED 2019-11-23
Skype Webcontrol has been removed from the Microsoft platform. Could be related to the release of Skype for Web.
In this moment it's strongly recommended to use an alternative solution like Facebook Web Messenger for your site.
UPDATED 2018-09-05 (This information is not valid anymore)
Yes, now it's possible on the following link Skype Webcontrol
The HTML code to add a call button is:
<span class="skype-button rounded" data-contact-id="skype-user-name"></span>
<script src="https://swc.cdn.skype.com/sdk/v1/sdk.min.js"></script>
Set the "skype-user-name" and voilá... nothing else is required.
OLD POST:
No, you cannot embed Skype chat in your website by the time this post is done.
But these are some resources that might be useful:
This is the official site for creating a Skype button in your website for chat or call:
https://www.skype.com/en/developer/create-contactme-buttons/
But I will have to advise that your visitors require Skype Software installed and it's correspondent extension installed. On mobile browsers it will require only the Skype App installed.
This is the HTML code for the website:
SKYPE CALL
call using Skype
SKYPE CHAT
Chat with Skype
SKYPE VOICEMAIL
Leave a voicemail

Someone may found this helpful.
<span class="skype-button bubble " data-contact-id="your-skype-id"></span>
<script src="https://swc.cdn.skype.com/sdk/v1/sdk.min.js"></script>
found here..
It is only possible to start the locally installed Skype-client on the visitors computer from your website.
Skype provides an api for this:

And here you'll find a Skype URI Tutorial:

What you're looking for is a live support chat. There are plenty commercial offerings out there. Maybe you can also find some free script.
Yes you can do this using Skype Web SDK.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn962133(v=office.16).aspx
These answers are old and not relevant at the moment. Using the unofficial NodeJS API for skype, one can embed the newer cloud based chat groups.
https://github.com/ShyykoSerhiy/skyweb (I am in no way associated with this project)
var skyweb = new Skyweb();
skyweb.login(username, password).then((skypeAccount) => {
skyweb.createThread([{"id":"8:someuserid","role":"User"},
{"id":"8:live:someliveuserid","role":"User"}
{"id":"8:youruserid","role":"Admin"}]);
});
I have to implement application that can post to the selected network I can select from the application drop down.
There are Objective-C frameworks for Facebook (Three20) and Twitter (Twitter-OAuth-Library & MGTwitterEngine).
A quick trip to Google find facebook-android-sdk for connecting to Facebook on Android.
As far as Twitter goes, you can find a whole list of APIs for various languages/platforms on Twitter's developer website.
EDIT
A second trip to Google finds this on developer.myspace.com for adding MySpace to an iOS app. Also, see this page and this page on LinkedIn's Developer Network.
Basically, LinkedIn is just using a JSON encoded API with OAuth. You should be able to handle that with any OAuth library.
EDIT2:
It seems that I've found another great library. Check out ShareKit, which helps with alot of what you're trying to do.
#appaspect and #moshe, this is an old thread so the question my no longer be relevant, but here's a new open-source SDK and social api service: Socialize http://www.GetSocialize.com . Full feature set at http://go.GetSocialize.com/features
DROdio
I have a silverlight application and i want is that my application should ask for the user name and password and the client should be able to start chat with their facebook friends.Could this be done? and if so then is there sample code available
This is the question of what kind of API Facebook provides. There aren't any inherent issues here if Facebook exposes this sort of functionality to third parties. I'm not an expert in this, but reading the facebook documentation should help you out.
http://developers.facebook.com
Also maybe check out these links:
http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/LiveMessage.send
http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/Fb:chat-invite
It looks like some folks developed a framework to more easily interop facebook with .net based technologies:
http://facebooktoolkit.codeplex.com/
Here they are discussing the LiveMessage stuff:
http://facebooktoolkit.codeplex.com/Thread/View.aspx?ThreadId=62384
People did facebook chat clones on the web, and in standalone apps (http://www.faceoffim.com/), so at least in principle it's certainly doable.
