Yii2-simplechat2: How to use it correctly?

Question

Yii

Good evening! New to yii2. I used this topic when installing the simplechat 2 plugin:
How to install simple chat for yii2?
Fortunately, everything turned out to be set up on yii2-advanced, the web/index.php/messages/20 chat window is called at this address.
And what's next then? How to call on your pages? How to send messages, identify the right users, and so on?
I didn’t find anything about this in the documentation, it’s not clear on the Internet what they write, everything is somehow too complicated.

Answer 1

If it is not clear, then write your own, having previously studied the source codes of simplechat2. Yes, and the idea of ​​​​doing something like a chat on something ready-made is rather doubtful, this is not a library, but a ready-made piece - in the beginning you will get a gain in speed, but then you will either have to fork or go out of your way in order to add the necessary features.
