Shoutbox:
=========
	
	AJAX Chat is also usable as shoutbox - this is a short guide on how to set it up:


	1. Chat initialization
	----------------------
	
	Put the following code fragment into your PHP script, before any output is sent to the browser:

	<?php
	// URL to the chat directory (relative or absolute URL including the trailing slash):
	define('AJAX_CHAT_URL', 'http://example.org/path/to/chat/');
	
	// Path to the chat directory (absolute path including the trailing slash):
	define('AJAX_CHAT_PATH', '/document_root/path/to/chat/');

	// Include custom libraries and initialization code:
	require(AJAX_CHAT_PATH.'lib/custom.php');

	// Include Class libraries:
	require(AJAX_CHAT_PATH.'lib/classes.php');
	
	// Initialize the chat:
	$ajaxChat = new CustomAJAXChatShoutBox();
	?>
	
	Remove the line which includes the custom libraries if they have already been included in your script.


	2. Stylesheet inclusion
	-----------------------
	
	Put the link to the shoutbox stylesheet in the head section of your (X)HTML output:
	
	<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://example.org/path/to/chat/css/shoutbox.css" title="AJAX Chat Shoutbox Style"/>
	
	
	3. Shoutbox output
	------------------
	
	Display the shoutbox in the body section of your (X)HTML content using the following code fragment:
	
	<div style="width:200px;"><?php echo $ajaxChat->getShoutBoxContent(); ?></div>
	
	The surrounding (X)HTML content limits the width of the chat - the height is set in the shoutbox stylesheet.
