Chats are not used by everyone, but they are part of a community-oriented site. Peter Saitz' MOS-Chat (http://mamboforge.net/projects/mos-chat/) is an often-used chat module. A ZIP archive is available for download on the project homepage. The project, however, could be moving shortly and will then be called Mambochat (http://mamboforge.net/projects/mambochat/).

The installation of the component goes as usual. It can then be found under Components | MOS Chat Client. This component, mind you, does only one thing: it refers you to a server with an installed chat. Here is the associated code:

<iframe SRC="http://www.mos-chat.com/index2.php?option=com_moschat
&url=<?php echo $mosConfig_live_site;?>&nick=<?php echo $myss->
username;?>&guest=<?php echo $myss->guest;?>" HEIGHT="500" WIDTH="100%" FRAMEBORDER="0" 
marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" SCROLLING="NO">
</iframe>

This is a fine way of quickly giving your site a chat...
