Chat Factory is an Online CHAT Extension (Ajax driven) for Joomla allowing users to chat REGARDLESS of the page they are on. The chat window accompanies them on every page they are browsing, and they can stay in touch with each other. |
|
|
You can enable advertisements (as seen on this demo) in the chat extension and gain advert revenues using this extension. There are two types of advertisements (the one in the chat application - at the bottom) or as "popup" messages from time to time (you can wait for one on this demo) |
|
You can test Chat Factory by clicking the menu on the left, and check out the administrative backend by clicking on the menu on top.

How to use this Demo site
- Click on any user button on the left so you can see how registered users can use Chat Factory. If the chat is disabled (some other user might have disabled it for the demo user) just enable it using the module on the top.
- If you want to check the administrative settings of our extension - just click on the top menu link "Administrator Backend" and you can inspect the admin settings. Some admin functions are disabled (due to security reasons), but all admin settings are visible.
- You can test-chat by opening two different browsers (for instance IE and FF), login as different users and send messages. There will be a small delay - not due to the slowness of this extension, but due to the refresh rate of the Ajax calls. The delay can be managed in the extension setting in order to have the strain on the server managed.
