YShout, A PHP and AJAX powered shoutbox

YShout is an AJAX+PHP shoutbox implementation, standards compliant, non-intrusive, that you can easily integrate in your website. Very simple and quick to install, YShout uses just text file to keep track of chats and could be customized with CSS. In addition to a 2-seconds flood control to avoid flooding the chat. A small and clean implementation using Behaviour, Prototype, and moo.ajax. There is no license indicated, anyway this is just the 1.00 release so you can simply Download YShout and give it a try.

Hey, I'm the guy who made the chat. :D

Thanks for the entry, I'll add license info tomorrow, but basically do whatever you want with it, so long as I'm getting credit. :P

Hey great stuff !

But I had two problems :

1. I can't never access to the chat folder.
2. I'm trying to use the script out of the base yshout folder, and the script not work. I've changed the the path of the javascript file access.

thx.

OK. This shoutbox is not available for download anymore, cause suddenly it came from being freeware to being donation ware.
And, yes, in version 5 it is PHP5 compatible.

YShout was working fine with Dojo 0.9 but the code got broken when it was migrated to Dojo 1.0.
Anyone faced similar problem?
