Extension:Chat (Lace)

What can this extension do?
Adds a hook function that allows you to use the syntax to embed the lace chat client in a wiki article. You can add any other text etc that you like into the article with the chat client.

There is a demo here http://www.wikichat.org/LaceDemo

Installation
1. Download the lace chat client from here http://socket7.net/lace/files/lace-0.1.6b1.zip

2. Unzip it and copy the www directory in the archive, into your wiki root directory. Rename it something like lace. You should end up with a directory something like mine -  http://www.wikichat.org/wiki/lace

Note: It has to be in the root directory to work for some reason that I'm trying to track down.

/!\ This URL doesn't exist anymore.

4. Change the following line in WikiLace.php

to point to the directory where you have installed lace.

5. Add the following line to the bottom of your LocalSettings.php

6. chmod 0777 or whatever works best for you: /data /data/activity.dat /data/lace.dat /data/log.dat /data/logs

7. Open config.php and set at a minimum LACE_URL_ABS and LACE_URL_REL. You may also wish to change: LACE_INTERVAL, LACE_TIMEOUT and LACE_ACTIVITY_IDLE.

8. Edit an article and add somewhere. The chat client is now embedded.

See the README.TXT in the lace directory for more info.
