Anyone built one of these?
Just thinking about it, how hard can it be?

It's an integrated part of a management system that includes, a web page builder to build pages which can be iframed into their crappy sharepoint:) system, a PR content logging system and an email logging system for tracking and forwarding requests etc. from the website.
I built all that ( and the chat system) on Sunday afternoon, don't ya just love CCS.
The Chat was SOOOO easy. Couple of grids and records, refresh calls done with jQuery (seems to work better than iframes?). A bit of my flaky:) code to lock the chats when being dealt with and that was about it. The frontend popup I handled with jQuery so I can have any size or position I like.
I looked at all the OTS stuff like Zopim, but how do you integrate their data into the clients data and reports, or add features like areas of interest checkboxes in the chat window and custom banners. Also styling was an issue. It was quicker to do it in CCS.
If I take it out of the system I'll send you a link...T

To avoid recreating the entire wheel, you could use an open source chat
system such as Openfire (http://www.igniterealtime.org). It runs on
MySQL, with a java servlets front end, but building a custom CCS
front-end in whatever language you choose is easy breezy.
The advantage of such a system is that it'll allow you to use the Jabber
protocol, allowing other clients and gateways such as Google Talk, MSN,
AOL, etc. to connect. Also has plugins for webchat and SIP phones
(asterisk).

Openfire looks well cool, but its far too complicated for me:)
My clients want it nice and simple. I like it easy to mod and customise.
Anyway only took me an afternoon to reinvent the wheel:)
Talking of complicated - CKeditor, what happened!
FCK - Great tool, gets ideas of grandeur and now you have to spend more time setting it up than doing your project. Oh, and you have to pay to upload images. And talk about lack of docs, there's loads, totally confusing!
So now I'm using NicEditor, nice and simple!

i resisted trying ckeditor for ages because i knew how to use fck and well... inertia can be quite compelling... anyway i tried it on a couple of recent projects and it was so simple to use...
i used this link mainly:
http://forums.codecharge.com/posts.php?post_id=107781
plus the following info - change to full or basic with the following syntax:
script type="text/javascript"> CKEDITOR.replace('sale_desc',{toolbar:'Full'}); </script>
replacing Full with Basic where appropriate.

I do not really like CKeditor for my ASP.net Inmotion Projects and came across nicEDIT (http://nicedit.com). Very easy on the resources and only three lines of code to incorporate. And it is completely FREE without having to worry about violating any licenses.
Btw, it works with PHP as well.

Hi
For Live Chat we integrated PHPFree Chat.
That is what we are using at CCSElite.com
I have been exploring Live VideoChat in CCS. Do noyt know if I will integrate a package or
ground up...

Hi. I suggest you take a look at Comm100 Live Chat Software. It is free and easy to use. You can visit http://www.comm100.com/livechat/

Did that! It was one of the first we looked at. But it's very klunky, I didn't like it
As a result of what I did the client also wanted other features, like product type filtering so different departments would only see chats relevant to them and banner ads in the window.
Plus lots of specific filtering.
I can't imaging trying to do that in comm100, it also didn't look very (style) good?
