There is a Shoutbox included with Ajax Chat thats very easy to incorparate into myBB and the instructions for that can be found in the install docs!

As for having the chat show up in the interface its self im not sure what you mean.... you can modify the chat rooms theme and layout by editing the CSS files and lib/LoggedIn.html file.

I will PM you with examples as i dont what to be seen as spamming!

Thanks very much. Smile It looks very interesting.

Its shows you what you can achive with Ajax Chat! One of the best in my eyes!
does AJAX chat use the mybboard users database or do people have to sign up separately for the chat room?
I have installed the mybb edition, but when i use the url to chat, i see a white screen (blank)

Please help me.

It uses the forums database.

Make sure the chat.sql you applied to the forums database for installation wasn't of a previous version of Ajax Chat. Delete all Ajax Chat files (the Chat folder) & reinstall. I had the same problem; a reinstalltion fixed it.
Err how do I get the shoutbox chat to show up on a custom page on my forum? Here is how I got it set up as I followed the instructions from the readme.txt for shoutbox setup...can someone help me here:

<?php
function getShoutBoxContent() {
// URL to the chat directory:
if(!defined('/chat/')) {
define('/chat/', './chat/');
}

// Path to the chat directory:
if(!defined('/chat/')) {
define('/chat/', realpath(dirname($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']).'/chat').'/');
}

// Validate the path to the chat:
if(@is_file(/chat/.'lib/classes.php')) {

// Include Class libraries:
require_once(/chat/.'lib/classes.php');

// Initialize the shoutbox:
$ajaxChat = new CustomAJAXChatShoutBox();

// Parse and return the shoutbox template content:
return $ajaxChat->getShoutBoxContent();
}

return null;
}
?>


Huge thanx in advance
I wouldn't know, LadyAngelique, as I only use it as a chatroom. I'd suggest though, if you get no help here, to ask your question here; you'll probably get support from the coder there.
i done the same as u...use it as a chatroom and added in a custom page inside an inline frame...

i gave up on the shoutbox idea...better as a reg chatroom
I have installed the chat at my forum http://www.amritaraofansite.com/forum/chat

just add:
<li><a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/chat/index.php"<img src="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/{$theme['imgdir']}/toplinks/chat.gif" alt="Chat" title="" />Chat</a></li>
to youre header
you need to upload a chat icon of youre choice to the specific folder
