Chat Modifications - [FC] Simple Chat

I created a simple chat plugin that should help some of you out.

What it is:
1. Simple to set up
2. Uses almost ZERO server resources
3. Isn't in your face (home page)
4. Saves previous messages

Coming Later:
Emoticons
"users logged in" section
Ability to modify fonts & colors

Live Demo: HERE
The live demo has been slightly modified to not require a username to access.

For an exact live demo: HERE




To install: upload files from upload folder in the attached zip and import the xml file.

This is my first mod I've made so please be kind.

Change Log:

v1.1
-Fixed Display Issue

Hello, it seems like demos are not aivalables anymore...
Could you post some screens ?

Also :
- "Uses almost ZERO server resources "
=> Could you be more specific ?

- Can this chat be included (as a widget // html or php widget) in the CMS ? ("3. Isn't in your face (home page)" => can you be more specific on that too ? Do you mean "not in the home page ?" )

- Can guest view / post messages ?

Thanks for your help

Yes I'll be sure to get the demos and screen shots back up. We moved servers and deleted the excess (forgot about the linked content here)

Yes, This service will only use your server to load the page the chat window is on, the main requests are pinged off the a server that is hosting the chat (not yours)

The way this plugin is designed it can't directly be made into a widget but I can post the code later in the week and you can make a widget using the code.

When I stated it isn't on your home page, I was merely stating that it is on a separate page.

Currently it is set up that its a members only thing BUT you can definitely set it up so that ANYONE can post to it... beware of SPAM! You will need to modify the code to make it work for this though.

I'm getting this screen:

[stoute]

that's the exact screen you should see.

Once the member clicks "connect" they will be in the chat room.

Then they can type their message and chat away.

I am also getting the blank screen. I tried to click the Connect button, but not working. Do you have any Idea?

Uploaded the files to Root
Imported the xml file.

thanks
