VisitorChat – The PHP Online Chat

visit the Visitor Chat’s admin-interface you will be notified from your
Windows tray and can start chatting straight away!

Live Support Chat – System Requirements
In order to be able to use ClientEngage Visitor Chat, you must fulfil the following system requirements:
Apache 2 HTTP Server
Preferably with mod_rewrite enabled
PHP with a version of greater than PHP 5.2.8
MySQL with a version of greater than MySQL 5 (i.e. with InnoDB support)
Preferably a subdomain/domain for use with ClientEngage Visitor Chat
Safe mode: off
Enough server-resources for the number of concurrent chatters you expect
jQuery: if your site does not use jQuery, VisitorChat will automatically
include it. If your site does use jQuery, it is important that you use a
version greater than 1.9.1
Finally, the PHP PDO extensions have to be installed
System requirements of the Windows-based client
.NET4 Framework (will be installed if not already available)
Windows XP (SP3), Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8
How does the live support chat script “work”?
The chat employs AJAX technologies and regularly checks with the server
for any new messages. When you are actively chatting, the interval is
2.5 seconds. However, once activity goes down, this interval slowly
decreases to only every 10 seconds. If you are not signed-up in a chat,
it will contact the sever only every 25 seconds to check if any
administrators are online. So you see: VisitorChat automatically
determines the right combination of user experience & server load.
A note on server performance
This chat system employs AJAX technologies and does not rely on
WebSockets for its communication. This means that anyone can run Visitor
Chat, as long as your server fulfils the requirements outlined below.
However, this also means that this system is not intended for
ultra-heavy-duty use: so don’t build the next Facebook and try to have
10m people use this at once. That being said, on average
server-specifications, there is nothing stopping you from having 15-20
concurrent conversations.
A note on chat-styles
The chat looks beautiful across all modern platforms and browsers.
However, the chat-box may look “out of place” if you have CSS styles on
your website that affect whole tags (such as “div {margin:50px;}” or
“span {padding:50px;}”).
In such cases, you may have to edit the Chat-Style for that particular website to override your styles.
