PHPFreeChat is a free, simple to install, fast, customizable and multi languages chat that uses a simple filesystem for
message and nickname storage. It uses AJAX to smoothly refresh (no flicker) and display the chat zone and the
nickname zone. It supports multi-rooms (/join), private messages, moderation (/kick, /ban), dice rolling and more!
PHPFreeChat is all contained on your server with no extra daemons or connections to other hosts.
Includes 2 widgets, showing who is online and the latest chatter going on in a chat channel you choose.
Warning: This is untested with quite a few hosts, it uses sessions and mysql-innodb, ctype-* functions and flock.
- Once activated add a page in wordpress and put [phpfreechat] in it.
- Go to the dashboard -> settings -> phpfreechat settings and change settings, save.
- Remember to save the settings once and all of the settings are appropriate.
- To refresh your settings after making changes, change your name to
admin with the command /nick admin and type /identify <password> the password being the one you
set in options, then type /help to get a list of commands, /rehash resets all the settings to what was changed in the dashboard administration.

More hosts are now supported
0.2.8
Bug fix I introduced in 0.2.7 for the registered users
0.2.7
Adjusted some of the css to allow automatic width settings
fixed the error with subdirectory installations where it wouldn't load properly
0.2.4
Fixed/hopefully the timezone issue, i'm sending the wordpress timezone offset to the phpfreechat now.
0.2.3
Integrated version 1.3 of phpfreechat, some issue still exists with the rehash but overall looks good.
0.2.2
Fixed the log disable button in the settings.
0.2.1
Defaults to mysql now and doesnt
stop because the database is already created, since we're taking from the wordpress database it's already created anyways.
0.2.0
Rewrote how the disable proxies work, rewrote the admin screen to use the old method. Setting chat end on close of browser to
false now and letting the time-out handle it, otherwise if someone just switchs browser windows it will declare inactive and time them
out all the time giving the timeout messages. Enabled logging of chat and ability to disable it from logging. shownotice is now set to 1 for
non-admins and 7 for those who login as admin (not op'd) This way the annoying timeout messages are not displayed, but are to the admin.
0.1.9
Added Censor removal toggle.
0.1.8
Proper use of the MySQL Container for WordPress and WPMU for creating tables per blog.
0.1.7
Registered Users Only Option, fixed the /me command when switching Server ID's, Debug option in admin, couple other minor things.
0.1.6
Added selectable language packs in the options and 'if current_user_can' will auto-set the person to administrator, important update where if you
set it to the mysql type connection it will no longer create a file-log file releasing alot of file writes on your hosting.
0.1.5
Quick hotfix to fix the mkdir_r renaming it to pfc_mkdir_r command to avoid conflict.
0.1.4
Used svn sourceforge repository phpfreechat, used patch to avoid flock, added forcenick but forcenick isn't exactly working yet. Important fix
using the mysql will no longer do any text based reading and writing increasing your performance.
0.1.3
Fix for the Session.start error.

Fixed pfc_mkdir_r conflicts by renaming pfc_mkdir_r in this plugin to phpfreechat_pfc_mkdir_r and all the addressing of it.
