ParaChat Server Room Customization Tool

Home >>> Custom >>> Room Customization Tool

With our easy-to-use Customization Tool, you have the opportunity to generate and preview your customized ParaChat room and HTML applet code prior to implementing it on your web site.

The ParaChat Customization Tool is basically an HTML applet code generator that allows one to easily customize a ParaChat Room, and to be presented with the HTML to implement the room. It has been designed to be generic, meaning that it is the same for any customer. The tool requires that you insert values that are specific to your hosted chat room. You will need to insert the following values that are specific to your implementation in order to generate custom applet code that will operate with your hosted chat room:

  • Applet Codebase URL
  • ServerPort Number
  • HTTPPort Number
  • Group Name
  • Room Name

The default values for ServerPort and HTTPPort in the tool are set to the same default values as the server software itself. The room name value and applet codebase URL values depend on the chat room name that you create locally, and the file path to the class files on your host machine (codebase URL).

There is no customization tool, per se, that is included with the server software package itself that is tailored specifically to your configuration of the chat server. Instead, we provide a "universal" tool within our server documentation that can be accessed and utilized by any of our customers.

If you have any questions about how to use this tool to customize your ParaChat room, please contact ParaChat Support.
