+/* Description */
+A basic Ajax chat plugin for CakePHP using jQuery
+
+/* Instructions */
+   1. You'll need a working version of CakePHP installed. This is running on 1.2.0.7692 RC3.
+   2. Download jQuery and put it in /app/webroot/js/
+   3. Put chat plugin into app/plugins/chat. The plugin is called "chat", so make sure there is no conflict with any other controllers or plugins
+   4. Run this sql to create the chats table.
+      CREATE TABLE  `chats` (
+        `id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
+        `key` varchar(45) NOT NULL default '',
+        `name` varchar(20) NOT NULL default '',
+        `message` text NOT NULL,
+        `ip_address` varchar(15) NOT NULL default '',
+        `created` datetime default NULL,
+        PRIMARY KEY  (`id`),
+        KEY `KEY_IDX` (`key`)
+      );
+
+   5. Include the plugin helper in your controller:
+      var $helpers = array('chat.ajaxChat');
+
+      Or just in a particular action:
+      $this->helpers[] = 'chat.ajaxChat';
+
+   6. Include jQuery in your view if you don't already include it in your layout.
+      echo $javascript->link('jquery', false);
+
+   7. Include the chat js and css in your view.
+      $javascript->link(array('jquery/jquery', '/chat/js/chat.js'), false);
+      $html->css('/chat/css/chat.css', null, null, false);
+            
+
+   8. Then just add the chat to your view. You can have multiple chats on your site by changing the chat key - "chat1" in this example.
+      echo $ajaxChat->generate('chat1');
+
