What CodyChat actually is

CodyChat is a self-hosted PHP and AJAX chatroom system built to run real time chatrooms on your own servers. It ships with a modular admin panel, themes, bridges, permission ranks, private messaging, file uploads, and a plugin/addon system so you can extend features without hacking the core. CodyChat is widely used as a standalone chat script you install on a PHP server and manage via its admin tools.

Why you might pick CodyChat

Runs on standard LAMP stacks, fast, and mobile responsive.

Modular themes and addons, so you can change UI and add features without editing the core.

Large community and official changelogs, new versions routinely add features like profile music and improved logging.

Customization examples, real world

We customize CodyChat the way we did SocketTalk, meaning practical, visible changes for communities:

Full theme rewrites, including message bubble layouts, userlist behavior, and responsive header.

Addon-driven features like emoji uploads, private backgrounds, and buy levels for gamified communities.

Multiroom UX improvements. On SocketTalk, a user can open unlimited rooms, manage them in tabs, and keep persistent history across sessions. You can implement the same multiroom, tabbed interface on CodyChat by wiring in WebSocket or long polling optimizations and a slim UI layer.

We can replicate SocketTalk style customizations on CodyChat and adapt them for you.

Those are the current visible listings on our store, and yes, some of these are old and classic style addons that many communities still prefer for stability and compatibility.

How we customize and integrate addons

We install addons via the addon installer included with purchases, use the CodyChat plugin hooks, and keep core upgrades separate so addons survive updates. Follow the store instructions and use the latest installer for smooth setup.

For performance we recommend PHP 7.4 or higher, MySQL, HTTPS, and optionally a WebSocket layer if you want sub 100ms message delivery and true multiroom sync. CodyChat works fine out of the box with PHP + AJAX, and you can layer in advanced transport later.
