I have developed an ajaxed chat plugin, which uses phpfreechat.net script. That script has multiple themes, multiple languages, and multiple features.

There is also a settings page in which you can save various parameters/config for the script.

There can be 2 types of storages – mysql & file, default is mysql, it automatically uses the bbPress db you are using and makes tableprefixajaxed_chat table.

You can see the various commands that can be used in chat, and the FAQ at phpfreechat.net

There are 2 ways you can call the chat:

http://yoursite.com/?chat

or by placing this code anywhere in your template:

<?php if (function_exists('ajaxed_chat_load')) ajaxed_chat_load(); ?>

Live Demo (At my test forums): http://forum.gaut.am/ (inside template) or http://forum.gaut.am/?chat (full screen)

Download Link – http://gaut.am/uploads/ajaxed-chat-1.0-beta.zip

Note – It is beta version, not a release (for now)

I still need to work on the admin settings page, but still its not too bad for now.

Comments, feedback & suggestions are welcomed!

Anyway to use the display name = name in chat automatically?

[@gautam2011 Member 15 years, 3 months ago]

that is already done in the plugin

[@gautam2011 Member 15 years, 3 months ago]

if you are logged in, then it will fetch the display name, else it will ask for nickname

though, there is an option by which you can disable unregistered users from viewing the chat

[@gerikg Member 15 years, 3 months ago]

ah sorry! I went to your site and it for the nick and I assumed.
