Adding a simple Chat Facility to a Sharepoint Foundation 2013 Site

I've recently been working on a Sharepoint Project where the client requires their receptionist to be able to send them messages without flooding their email. So they asked for some kind of chat or instant messaging facility. I stumbled across Simple Chat a basic, lightweight JQuery based script which does the job very well.

Implementing the script is really easy. Here's the short version:

• Create a Document Library to store your JavaScript files.
• Create a Custom List to display your messages
• Add a Script Editor Web Part to where you want to keep your Chat facility. Edit Snippet, add JQuery code etc.

Job done.
