How can I pass through usernames from my community site
to PHPSimpleChat so they will show up in the chat room?
In order to pass usernames in, you must instantiate the PHPSimpleChat
object with the username of the desired user. For example, if
usernames were contained in the $user variable, the following
code would work:
$mychat = new PHPSimpleChat($user);
How can I have multiple chat rooms, each with their
own unique chats?
By default, if you don't pass a room identifier to the PHPSimpleChat
constructor, all instances of the chat room will have the same
conversations. However you can create unique chat rooms by passing
a unique string as the second argument to the PHPSimpleChat
constructor. It doesn't matter what the string is, as long as
its different for each unique instance you want to create. Here
is an example unique room, along with a username variable argument
from the above question:
$mychat = new PHPSimpleChat($user, 'social_room_23');
If you don't want to pass dynamic usernames in to PHPSimpleChat,
you can specify NULL in place of the user argument like this:
$mychat = new PHPSimpleChat(NULL, 'fishing');
How do you initiate a private chat?
 Click
the private chat icon next to the name of the user you want
to private chat with. A new conversation window will open up.
The user will be notified of the private chat request. If they
accept, a new chat window will open up for them and they will
be joined into the private chat.
PHPSimpleChat is not as responsive as I want. How can
I make it more responsive?
PHPSimpleChat can be configured to be more responsive. By default,
conservative response settings have been set to ensure functionality
across many types of database servers. To tune PHPSimpleChat
to be more responsive, see the Performance
and Tuning section.
