## Overview
Minchat is a free minimalist chat application. It is based on [wojtek77/chat](https://github.com/wojtek77/chat), itself based on [Gabriel Nava's tutorial](http://code.tutsplus.com/tutorials/how-to-create-a-simple-web-based-chat-application--net-5931).
### Features
- Simple web chat: only requires a browser ; no XMPP application.
- No need for users to register. Just need the web address. But optional authorisation control.
- On connection, the page is fed with the messages of the day
- Args are in the URL as *get* arguments, so that you can share the URL or make it a favorite to avoid filling a form.
Example : `https://yourdomain.org/minchat/?room=Living&name=John`
- Optionaly multi room
**Shipped version:** 1.0~ynh3

## Disclaimers / important information
### Setup
The setup is optional. If you leave it as is, there is a single unnamed room, opened to all users. If you want to customize the access control, edit the file `conf/setup.ini` (if missing, copy it from `conf/sample/setup.ini`). The interesting parameter is `auth` that indicates which user is authorized to which room.
In this example `auth = John:Game,John:Family,Mary:Game,Tim:Family,admin:*,*:Public,*:`,
- `John:Game,John:Family` = John can access the Game room, the Family room
- `Mary:Game` = Mary can access the Game room
- `Tim:Family` = Tim can access the Family room
- `admin:*` = admin can access all rooms
- `*:Public` = everybody can acccess the Public room
- `*:` = everybody can access the unnamed room
### Hints for users
- The URLs you send are linked or transformed to images when preceeded by a `!`
- If multiple rooms are allowed by the administrator in the `setup.ini`, you can have several tabs opened to different rooms in the same browser.
