XDTalk Plugin for WordPress
ADVERTISEMENTSXDTalk is a chat plugin for WordPress that allows registered users to Instant message each other while on your site.
To install, download the zip file, unzip, then upload the xdtalk directory into your WordPress plugins directory. After that go into your WP admin and activate the plugin, then go to Manage > XD Talk Admin, and set your settings.
To get the chat html to show up in your sidebar, simple paste the following code in the desired spot in your Sidebar template:
< ?php
if (function_exists(”xdtalk_echo_sidebar_setup”)){
xdtalk_echo_sidebar_setup();
}
?>
As I blogged about this plugin as soon as I came to know about it, I did not get the time to test it.
I am going to test it now offline using EasyPHP, and will let you know more about it. Well I won’t be able to test the actual chat function offline, so I might install it here on johntp.com.
Also, check the plugins homepage here.
Update: The plugin did not work with the above code for me. If this is the same case for you try this:
< ?php xdtalk_echo_sidebar_setup(); ?>
Remove the space between ‘< ‘ and ‘?php‘ (I can’t seem to remove it)
Search JohnTP.com or view a random post

I;ve read of some people getting MySql errors. Your database was noit being polulated. Here is the workaround.
CREATE TABLE `wp_xdtalk_user_info` (
`ui_user_ID` bigint(20) NOT NULL default ‘0′,
`ui_current_location` varchar(255) NOT NULL default ”,
`ui_last_hit` int(20) NOT NULL default ‘0′,
PRIMARY KEY (`ui_user_ID`)
);
CREATE TABLE `wp_xdtalk_messages` (
`xm_to_user_ID` bigint(20) NOT NULL default ‘0′,
`xm_from_user_ID` bigint(20) NOT NULL default ‘0′,
`xm_message` varchar(255) NOT NULL default ”,
`xm_time` int(20) NOT NULL default ‘0′
);
Adjust to your particular server.

Hi,
I found this cool plugin today - really amazing!
But I missed a Sidebar widget - and so I wrote one
See: http://www.3DH.de - I posted the documented XD Talk Sidebar Widget and documented all changes.
It would be great, if you could include the widget in your packages.
Greetz,
