# Chat for Elefant
This is a simple member chat app for the [Elefant CMS](http://www.elefantcms.com/),
powered by the [Pusher](http://www.pusherapp.com/) realtime messaging service.
To install, drop the app into your Elefant `apps` folder and edit the file
`apps/chat/conf/config.php`. Enter your APP ID, API Key and API Secret values from
Pusher. You can now access the default chat at the URL `/chat` on your website.
Please note that chats are members-only, so if you're not logged in you will be taken
to the member login screen first.
## Embedding the chat box
Chats can be embedded into any page via the Dynamic Objects menu in the WYSIWYG editor,
or into any application via the following code:
```php
run ('chat/index', array ('channel' => 'channel-name'));
?>
```
Or in a view template:
```html
{! chat/index?channel=channel-name !}
```
If no channel is specified, the channel name will be `default`. Channels can be
used in your apps to create separate chat rooms for different groups of users.
## Styling the chat box
The chat box can easily be styled through CSS, and some very basic CSS is included
in `/apps/chat/css/default.css`. For reference, here is what the HTML of the chat
box looks like:
```html
-
Johnny:
Hello, world!
-
World:
Hi Johnny!
```
