AmicaChat Widget

AmicaChat Widget adds a small login form to your site that opens AmicaChat, a free Italian IRC chat network. Visitors choose a nickname, accept the terms and enter an AmicaChat chat room, without registration and without leaving any data on your site.

You choose the room: the default one or any room name you like, so your visitors can meet in a room dedicated to your site, blog or forum.

Features:

• Shortcode [amicachat] for pages and posts, with per-shortcode options
• Classic widget for sidebars and footers
• Settings page with live preview
• Adjustable chat room, title, button text, maximum width or full width, alignment, rounded or square corners, shadow, border and colors
• Responsive layout: nickname field and button on one line, stacked on narrow screens
• Shortcode attributes in English and Italian
• No JavaScript and no external files: the stylesheet is included in the plugin
• The “by AmicaChat” credit is off by default and can be enabled in the settings

Minimum age: the chat is open to users who are at least 14 years old.

Rules of the chat rooms

Rooms with adult or sexual content, the exchange of copyrighted files, any content that may harm minors or the privacy of others, and any other illegal activity are not allowed. AmicaChat may close rooms that break these rules. The full rules are in the AmicaChat terms and privacy policy linked below.

External services

This plugin connects to the AmicaChat chat service, operated by AmicaChat.net, to let visitors enter a chat room.

No data is sent when a page with the form is viewed. Data is sent only when a visitor fills in the form and presses the button: the browser then opens https://amicachat.net/entra and sends the chosen nickname, the chat room name and the acceptance of the terms. As with any link to a website, the browser also sends the visitor’s IP address and the address of the referring site.

The plugin does not store any visitor data on your site and does not send any data about your site or its administrators.
