[RC] Yet Another AJAX Chat - Integration without forum modification

You forget two features, that all web-chat have:

    * Bringing down your server by using an asynchronous, not adapted, not designed for, technology
    * Bringing your hosting manager, or server administrator, hunting you down for this last feature

Well I don't know how much strain it puts on a server but it's really easy to use with good ergonomics and looks.
It's really neat. Good job.

How i can add online list of this chat on index.php of my forum?

Some new version releases have happened:

Version 0.5  (12.10.2007):
-------------------------------

- Realtime monitoring and server-side log viewer replaces log files creation.
- Invitation system to invite users to the current channel.
- Private channels based on invitation system.
- Possibility to access restricted channels by invitation.
- Possibility to use persistent font colors.
- Client-side settings are stored persistently in a settings cookie.
- /me and /describe and /action (new) messages are displayed in a custom style class.
- Added config variable to limit the number of available cannels.
- Added config variable to define the max users logged in.
- Added config variable to enable/disable private messages.

- Chat versions with forum integration now use the existing database connection.

Bugfixes:

This way messages sent before the server could respond don't result in an error message anymore.
- JavaScript links (private message links in online list) were not escaped properly.
- Removed Byte Order Mark at the beginning of finnish language files which caused unwanted output.
- Session handling now allows to keep the current session on logout.

Other changes:

would the code still work if i edited all the selct mysql codes to get the message and add in a WHERE, and then update the INSERT code to add the WHERE ??? would that still work?

based on this idea:

each Person/Group/Band/Site has there own page, and on that page they each have there own "guestbook"..and thus using the ajax chat as that!

I havnt used this chatbox yet, but is that possible to create a channel, and then it will retive all the messages from that?

cheers

EDIT: just installed. looks good. is     "<div style="width:200px;"><?php echo getShoutBoxContent(); ?></div>" the code to get it into what you have on the main page of your site?

Important:
As the time and effort spent to support the AJAX Chat project has increased my support here on this topic will discontinue.
I will continue to answer support requests on the Official AJAX Chat Support Forum.
Feel free to use this topic for user-to-user support.

P.S.:
A new version will be released shortly including support to push updates over a Flash based socket connection - this prevents the chat clients from constant pulling and will increase performance.
