The readme file references copying a chatroomread.php to the root of your Drupal install which is non existent within this module. There is also references to Drupal 6 which leads me to believe that this documentation has been copied over from the Drupal 6 version of the module and never updated. Some sort of installation instructions for the Drupal 7 version should accompany the module.

I strongly support getting this issue fixed. A few weeks ago with an earlier build I had a chatroom up and running quickly. After the latest update, with the requirement of node.js I don't have a clue how to set things up. I can install the module, but after that I'm lost. There doesn't seem to be any more reference to Chat Room configuration or nodes anywhere in Drupal.

If 'someone who knows' could write a new guide about installing and configuring the latest 7.x.2.x build it would be greatly appreciated.

just to clarify things a bit.

first, the 7.x-1.x version is only half-baked, and should be avoided.

the 7.x-2.x version is under active development. it requires the nodejs module. if you have issues setting up the nodejs module, please put issues in that queue.

once you have a working nodejs module, installing the chatroom module requires nothing more than the standard mdoule installation steps.

You would also need to create a content type and add the "Chat Room" as a field

Hello,

I need more info about nodejs :
Do we "only" have to install the "nodejs.integration" drupal module ?
or is there something to install on the server where our Drupal is hosted ?

Thanks,
Vincent

Searching for chatroomread.php for half an hour and can not find it! does any maintainer care to update the documentation and tell us how to EXACTLY install chatroom with a missing file?

@vhenninot
Try to install the nodejs.integration and get it up and running.
Execute it in you shell with : node server.js
See the output while you browse on your site .

@nvd_aid61
The version 7.x doesn't have a chatroomread.php anymore. Just install the module normally after you've installed the nodejs.integration .

First stab at a patch.

I left the introduction the same though it might still need to be cleaned up.

I changed the HACKING section to CONTRIBUTING.
