Man, that was easy to setup...BUT seeing as its a "Support Chat" do you know if users can chat with each other or is it between admin and one user at a time?

(1) Sorry; yes it is a Support Chat only. Admin (operator) and 1 user at a time. I realize that it's not exactly what you wanted.
(2) What kind of db issue do you see?

Had to change the database name, that db name was already in use on the mysql server I use. Imay have screwed up somewhere in the files.
I had one, still can't get it to work. Grochat 0.4 I get a binding error but I like the numerous rooms I can have, the other chat software will work fine outside of fusion but only gives me a single room that I can see.
If you want 'em to try and convert to fusion, let me know.

I found another open source chat program and will work on it to see what the possibilities are. It's multi-user.

I have installed the chat program onto my site on a shared webhost running php version 5.6.39 and keep getting this error message.
ERROR: Cannot bind session !
Can you tell me how to fix it? I have set the permissions for chat.txt and chatHistory.txt to 755 if that makes any difference. Thanks for your help.

The problem to use of an existing chat programs with PF is to keep the users database in sync.
Especially when the encryption protocol for the passwords are different

In post#28 where I said I had found another one, I don't think it's fit for your purposes dude! It's huge and very complicated almost as much as a CMS. Incredible amount of configuration options that are not common. But if you want to check it out anyway here is the url:
https://mibew.org
But I did find another non-db one that I will check out and let you know.

douwe, that's why I use ones that don't have a signup....and set them for members only.

It must be something in the way it was written, it's using php 4.0 code.....

OK... I have so much code in my head from looking at so many different chat apps that I feel like my head will explode. I'm gonna have to lay off this for a while but I will get back to it. I have one that really looks promising but there is a lot of backend configurations to do. I'll give you the url if you want to take a look yourself.

It may be easier to go with GroChat and make that work with Fusion. When your up to it again that is.....

Have to figure out how to fix that error message in GroChat because as it is, nothing gets posted.

@daimonbok1
Thanks for the link but my friend Fred already sent me the zip.
I'm afraid I have some bad news. After trying to run this script(s) and examinng all the error logs I'm getting, this code is just too old and would require an almost complete re-write. That is sometning that unfortunately, is beyond my capabilities. I tried several things such as re-doing the 'class' part in chat.php and can't even get that to work. I'm pretty good at modifying someone elses code to do what I want it to do as long as it's fairly new stuff but this is beyond me as like I said, it requires an almost complete re-write.
Sorry man; this is a hill I just can't climb.

No problem...was a thought as it ran well under early php 5....
Sooner of later, something will work...
