This readme is for version 1.01 of cfopenchat, powered by ajaxCFC INSTALLATION ------------ #1 - create or choose a DSN for your chat tables #2 - specify that DSN in the Application.cfm, line 18 #3 - load the tables from the appropriate SQL script found in the source/ directory. #4 - load the index.cfm in your browser! CUSTOMIZATION ------------- o Refresh Rate - there are three refresh speeds, controlled in cfopenchat.js. The default settings are 1000ms, 2000ms, and 5000ms for fast, normal, and slow. You can control the initial refresh rate by setting the refresh variable to one of the specific refresh variables. Ie, var refresh = refresh_fast; Users can also control their own refresh rate by using the command /set refresh (fast|normal|slow) It is important to note that a faster refresh will result in more load on your server. o Sound - If you would like to disable sound by default, simply change the enableSound checkbox so it is not checked by default. To disable sound entirely, DO NOT comment the checkbox out, instead change its display style to 'none' and comment out the label. And remove the CHECKED attribute. o Login URL - sometimes, a user becomes disconnected and must be redirected to a login URL of sorts. In the demo, this is 'index.cfm', and is specified by the loginUrl variable in cfopenchat.js. The same URL is used in cfopenchat.cfm.
