   I have purchased one of the chat plans from addoninteractive, installed this nice sounding plugin on WP 2.5,configured the plugin according to readme.txt, created a page, entered the suggested tag:

   [addonchat]

   on a WP page, and it does nothing but generate a Java error, which locks up Firefox (2.0.14). This is the error:

   class Client.class not found.
   java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Client.class
   	at sun.applet.AppletClassLoader.findClass(AppletClassLoader.java:194)
   	at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:306)
   	at sun.applet.AppletClassLoader.loadClass(AppletClassLoader.java:127)
   	at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:251)
   	at sun.applet.AppletClassLoader.loadCode(AppletClassLoader.java:640)
   	at sun.applet.AppletPanel.createApplet(AppletPanel.java:786)
   	at sun.plugin.AppletViewer.createApplet(AppletViewer.java:2108)

   	at sun.applet.AppletPanel.run(AppletPanel.java:369)
   	at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:619)

   Pasting in the raw html snippet from the welcome email works fine, but
   it does not integrate with WP, which is what I REALLY need.

   Any help would be good.

   Followup ...

   One problem solved ... WP was apparently taking the generated html from
   addonchat_shortcode() and adding <br /> tags at each newline, which was causing the java error. After correcting that, I am getting a login prompt from addonchat, with a message that says unable to contact server. I am hoping to avoid the login prompt.

   I guess I am waiting to see if that is transient problem or something else.

   The above issue was caused by a mismatch in the addonchat Control Panel and WP-AddonChat. That is resolved. What I have now is users that have to login twice -- once for the site (the chat is in a private area of the site), and once for the chat itself. The chat login is authenticated via Wordress now. So maybe this is how it the plugin is designed to work, but what I want is an automatic login so that the user has to only supply the same information once.

   The final resolution is that what we really wanted for this site was "automatic login" and not just remote login, which is available through this plugin. We have a private area where clients are already logged in. To get the automatic functionality, required additional params to the applet code, and then customizing ras.php to handle the "automatic" authentication so that users login just once. Happy campers now ;-)
