I've managed to integrate Flash Chat into my GL site.  Feel free to check out what I did at http://www.somc.on.ca (you'll need an account) but generally here's what I did:

My specific variation has the Flash Chat running in a seperate pop-up window.  This allows you to stay in chat while browsing the site and reading the forums.

Edited the config.php to match the colours to my site.

Edit the index.php and added:

/** Set to true if using Geeklog CMS. */
$useGeeklog = true;

if ( $useGeeklog ) {
        require_once("../lib-common.php");
       /** Uncomment below if you want to embed this **/
        /* echo COM_siteHeader(); */
        $lang = $defaultLanguage;
        if ($name == "") {
                $username = $_USER['username'];
        }
}

My site automatically rewrites /USERNAME to bring up the profile so I modified the $popuppath to open http://www.somc.on.ca/USERNAME this automatically brings up the users profile when their name is clicked on in the chat.

I then added a block called "Chatter" that calls a function in lib-custom.php that block is below.  This function tells you who's in chat and gives you a link that opens a pop-up with the chat window.  Login is automatic thanks to the chagnes to index.php above.  I'll make this an iframe so that the list of who's in the chat auto refreshes.

function phpblock_whochat() {

global $_CONF;
    $query = mysql_query( "SELECT COUNT(ID) FROM chat_users WHERE NOW() - datetime 
    $numchat = DB_fetchArray($query);
    $numinchat = $numchat[0];
    $userquery = mysql_query( "SELECT name FROM chat_users WHERE NOW() - datetime 
    if ($numinchat > 0) {
    while ($usersinchat = DB_fetchArray($userquery)) {
        $retval = $retval . $usersinchat[name] . '
';
    }
    } else {
        $retval .= 'Currently no users in chat';
    }

$retval .= "
<a href="">Join Chat</a>";

return $retval;
}

That's about it.  Let me know what you think.

Paul
