Guests don't work and Custom Channels don't show up?

And here my /chat/lib/data/channels.php:

// List containing the custom channels:

$channels = array();

// Sample channel list:

$channels[0] = 'Public';

$channels[1] = 'Private';

$channels[2] = 'Test';

?>

I have 3 questions. How do I add custom channels? 

Why can't guests login? I set it to allowed but they can't enter the chat.

How do I configure the database correctly? It says "null" in my config.php

[Banjo Fox]

You should be able to add channels to the channels.php file that you previously listed.
Just follow the syntax for the ones that are already there

$channels[0] = 'Public';

$channels[1] = 'Private';

$channels[2] = 'Test';

$channels[3] = 'New Channel';

$channels[4] = 'Another Channel';

Properly configuring the DB -should be done when you run the install script, but there may be extra steps for Integrating it with MyBB.
Your best bet would be to check the GitHub wiki.

As for the Guest logins... again see if the wiki has anything for you there.

Hm. The lib/data folder doesn't need to be there for integration versions. That folder is there for standalone. In integration versions we use your forums to get users and rooms.

For mybb chat expects a global variable called $mybb and look for it like this https://github.com/Frug/AJAX-Chat/blob/mybb/chat/lib/class/CustomAJAXChat.php#L72-L77

If you placed the /chat folder in the correct location, and you aren't getting errors, then there's nothing you have to do to make this work. It will pick up this global variable magically.

You can probably safely delete your data folder. 

The channels are also taken from your mybb database. If you see channels other than public, there's nothing else to do. To make channels, you make them in your forum.

Not sure why guests wouldn't work. If you have 

$config['allowGuestLogins'] = true;

In your config, that's enough to allow guests. Try clearing cookies, I guess.
