// You can configure PHP Free Chat by setting variables below. See the PHP Free Chat
// documentation for options.

$params = array();
$params["title"] = "Chat Room";
$params["refresh_delay"] = 2000; // 2000ms = 2s
$params["nick"] = "guest".rand(1,1000); // setup the intitial nickname
$params["isadmin"] = true; // just for debug
$params["serverid"] = md5(__FILE__); // calculate a unique id for this chat
$chat = new phpFreeChat( $params );

// register chat javascript and css
$modx->regClientStartupScript($chat->printJavascript());
$modx->regClientCSS($chat->printStyle());

OK, I think its because you have no template for it on the page, I downloaded it and from the file index.php in its top level nicked the html and created this template called freechat and assigned it to the free chat page :-

Notice I changed the css paths etc. this mostly seems to work but you will nedd to do this for your setup, also not sure if you need the last line of the snipprt or not.

Thinking about it can you not simply iframe your phpfreechat installation into a MODx page with a suitable template?

Use MODx, or the cat gets it!
