Question.

I want to use AjaxIM ( unmodified 3.41 ) on a existing webstie.

But instead of the black background with images, I want the userlist
and such to be dragable along the browser window which the website is
in.

Easiest thing to explain would be running a site in an Iframe on the
background of AjaxIM ( / Ajaximrpg ).
Is this possible, if so how, thanks in advance.

I don't understand you exactly but I think that what you want is
possible.

You can modify index.html to put whatever you need in the background.
Your web site will need to be Ajax because none of the Ajax IM and
ajaximrpg variants can survive page reloads. If the page reloads, the
current user will be logged out. This limitation may be addressed
someday but no time soon.

You'll need to mess with the create() and handleResize() methods to
put the buddylist/roomlist and chatrooms in different parts of the
window. In Ajax IM 3.41, you'll want to look at js/buddylist.js and
js/chat.js. In ajaximrpg, you'll want to look at js/roomlist.js and
js/chatroom.js.

Let me know if you have further questions.

Actually, I think I'll use your version, after all, it's 3.41 only
improved, bug fixed and new features.

i have a custom CMS community website that I would like to add facebook style IM functionality to.

what i mean by this is that you remain logged in to the IM while going from page to page with the messenger app remaining in the footer.

is it possible to do with this software?

is there any kind of documentation on how i would go about that?

No, Facebook style chatting isn't supported by ajaximrpg right now.
You should consider Ajax IM; they are focused on supporting that kind
of integration.

Facebook style chatting is on ajaximrpg's roadmap but it is 2+ years
in the future.

Sorry about that. Let me know if you have more questions.

don't you need a dedicated server for that in order to provide the needed node.js support?

Likely, yes.

I don't think that any cPanel style hosters provide node.js support.

However, there are a lot of hosters that provide virtual (VM) servers
where you can install anything you want so you don't have to buy and
install your own physical hardware anymore.
