Hi,

JChat is a very complex application so integrating it with other extension is not always an easy task.
Everything is rendered and based on a javascript application, so you have to deal with javascript most probably to integrate certain features into another component.

You need to analyze the file main.js, unminify it and eventually check as the ajax request to send messages is done to the server model.

An easier task would be place the call to open a chatbox from another component. This could be done in plain javascript triggering the chatbox open event. Notice that everything is based on the Joomla session ID.

For further dev info please contact me directly by email at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it because i'm the developer of this extension.
You can email me on Saturday please, i will be abroad for a couple of days

Thanks
