This module provides an on site chat, located in a block.
Chatblock focuses on simplicity. It does not require additional resources like IRC, Java or flash and although it is thoroughly built with Javascript, it even works basically in no-script environments. While other modules provide much more flexibility and manifold functions, chatblock aims to be easy to handle, compact and save as much server CPU as possible.
Features
- Easy to set up, simple to use.
- Ideal for any site that needs no more than *one* generic chat room.
- As the chat comes as a block, it can be easily placed anywhere on your site.
- Configurable chat history (which automatically cleans up on cron runs).
- Optionally, some basic smiley codes transform into graphical smileys and links become clickable.
- Basic fallback functionality for users with Javascript disabled.
- Separate chat log page.
