=== Installation ===


In order to integrate your **sms:chat** with your project, use the following markup (don't
forget to replace chat id with your actual **sms:chat** id.


<code>
<script src="http://chat.smscoin.com/chat/?chat_id=chat id"
type="text/javascript">
</script>
</code>

The markup given must reside at the appropriate place of the target webpage.


=== Adjusting ===


In order to adjust the chat to your needs, use the following optional parameters:


^ Параметр ^ Тип ^ Описание ^ По умолчанию ^
| lang | char(2) | Biliteral \\ language code  | RU |
| limit | int | How many messages are displayed | 20 |
| css_path  | string | Path to the CSS stylesheet | http://chat.smscoin.com/chat/style.css |


For example, in order to reduce the number of simultaneously displayed messages to
10, use



<code>
<script src="http://chat.smscoin.com/chat/?chat_id=chat
id&limit=10&css_path=style.css”type="text/javascript">
</script>
</code>


Instead of //style.css// parameter you should provide the path to Stylesheets saved on
your server.
Providing your own cascading style sheets (CSS) lets you adapt the appearance of the
server to the website design. If necessary you can hide certain elements of the chat. For
example, in order to hide the time when the message was sent and the nickname of the
sender insert the following line in CSS:

<code>
.time, .nick { display: none; }
</code>
