## Description

Ready to integrate AddonInteractive’s AddonChat software into your site? Then this
is the
 plugin for you. With the simple addition of an easy to remember shortcode,
you can pop the chat room into your site in any page or post that you want.

In addition to integrating your chat room quickly and easily, you can add a way 
for site
 visitors to see «Who’s Chatting» in your chatroom. For your convenience,
the «Who’s Chatting» functionality is provided both as a widget and a standalone
template tag.

## Installation

To install, simply unzip the download provided and follow the following steps:

 1. Place the plugin into your `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
 3. Configure the plugin through the ‘Settings > AddonChat’ menu

To start, you need to have signed up for an AddonChat account. If you haven’t, then
sign up for
 one through the settings menu in the WordPress interface. It’s that
easy!

After signing up for your AddonChat account, you only have a few short steps left.
First,
 you can add the chat applet within any post or page simply by including 
the specified shortcode [addonchat]. At the write post or write page interface, 
enter any content that you want. Then, where you want the chat applet to appear,
simply add the text [addonchat].

If you have a Professional PLUS or Enterprise edition account, you can enable Remote
Authentication. Check
 the «Remote Authentication System» checkbox, and your users
will be able to login using their WordPress username and password. If you want to
allow guests, simply check the «Enable Guest Access» checkbox on the settings page.

The other major component of WP-AddonChat is the «Who’s Chatting» widget. As with
all other widgets,
 you enable the «Who’s Chatting» widget by going to ‘Appearance
> Widgets’ and dragging the «Who’s Chatting» widget to the desired sidebar. After
placing it in a sidebar you can configure it.

If you don’t want to add the widget through the WP interface, a template tag is 
provided that allows you
 to show the current members of your chat room at any time.
The tag is `addonchat_whos_chatting` and it echos a simple unordered list, with 
each list item containing the user name of a currently active chat member.

To uninstall the plugin, please perform the following steps.

 1. Deactivate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
 2. If desired, remove the plugin directory from your `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
