Wow thanks for that! Do you place in a custom block then modify a template or creat a new template file for it with the theme?

// blocks
$modversion['blocks'][1]['file'] = "inchat.php";
$modversion['blocks'][1]['name'] = "Who's in chat";
$modversion['blocks'][1]['description'] = "Shows Article menu";
$modversion['blocks'][1]['show_func'] = "b_inchat_show";
$modversion['blocks'][1]['template'] = 'inchat.html';

Would you be willing to release that "Who's in Chat" block that you made for it?

You do need to make some chat script changes, but there is a detailed textfile on it.

Changes include, how many members in a room, server settings (Not taken from mainfile.php), and some other cool features, like opening and closing times of chat.

I see you are indeed using the chat I was considering. I like it. Did you purchase it? Was it easy to adapt? And what version of XOOPS are you using?
