   1  Official Chat Module for Moodle
   2  ------------------------------
   3  
   4  The chat module now supports a backend daemon for
   5  more efficiency.
   6  
   7  It's still buggy and being worked on, but if you
   8  want to test it and help out here are some quick
   9  instructions:
  10  
  11  1) Admin -> Config -> Modules -> Chat -> Settings
  12  
  13  2) Set the method to "sockets" and set up the ports etc
  14  
  15  3) Start the server like this (from the Unix command line):
  16  
  17     cd moodle/mod/chat
  18     php chatd.php --start &
  19  
  20  4) Go to a chat room in Moodle and open it as normal.
