Note: If you do install manually the directory must be named freechat.

The goal of this plugin was to provide a simple, ready to go chat system for your wiki using phpFreeChat library. It also bundles the necessary libraries so that you should not need to do any configuration to get it up and running as quickly as possible. I haven't thoroughly tested this point on many platforms yet, so any feedback is welcome.

To use this plugin, just put this on a page:

~~CHAT~~

and the admin configuration page to set options. For info about params and advanced configuration, see the phpFreeChat Official Home Page.

There's always room for improvement. If you're able to add any contributions to make freechat better, please let me know or discuss your thoughts right here (please use ===== Level 2 Headlines ===== to open a new “thread”/issue and ---- (five dashes, horizontal rule) to structure it when needed).

In terms of freechat plug-in feedback; its fantastic plug-in works works like dream. But wondering if I know, where exactly the chat data stored. Much appreciate your feedback.

All chat data are stored in data/cache/freechat folder

And how often is this purged? How can one archive it? Is it safe, in other words, and possible to retrieve at a later date? (Brilliant plugin, by the way: so very simple to set up! Thank you.)

Thank you for a lovely plugin. I do however have some troubles with setting the height, language and title for the chat. I use nb_NO language and want to change the height to 230px. I have manually changed most of the height params and configuartion values in the plugin, however for some reason the height is stil 440px. I have also naturally changed the local.php conf to 230px. Do you know what might be wrong?
