Thanks to

Cargor (EU-Nozdormu) aka XconStruct
Picking up the idea and materializing the addon, maintaining through years after quitting WoW

3.4.5.1
* prevent chatevents interfering while mouse is hovering over the chatframe

3.4.5
* fixup boolean error

3.4.4
* config: cleanup events removed from game and update reference list per link

3.4.3
* refix frozen chat window on login by direct calls of Animate() instead of unpdateHeight()
* respect MaximizeCombatLog on floating combatlog and handle docking/dedocking it

3.4.2.2
* fix error on chatevent when chatframe is not in config

3.4.2.1
* fix minimizing/maximizing ALL windows on mouseover

3.4.2
* config is now an own file, instead of being part of core.lua
this allows for copying/backing up your config between updates
* swept through code and used chatframes directly instead of frames tucked on the chatframes
* fixed a bug where config setting would be ignored for certain chat events (eg. only ChatFrame1 for "say" is set, but ChatFrame3 and ChatFrame4 would have been triggered)

3.4.1
* fixed "frozen" chat window on login

3.4
* crude legion update

3.3.2
* try to minimize chat on load
* Re-introduce ChatFrame:UpdateHeight() to manually update the height
* fixed a possible error with the chat-tabs

3.3.1
* fixed chat height of messages spanning multiple lines

3.3
*fixes for 3.3.5
*simpler event handling, including battle.net-events

3.2
*Prevent chat from resizing when moving it around

3.1
*TOC bump
*Added new PartyLeader event to the eventlist

3.0
* Another rewrite
* Chicchai now uses less CPU time
* You can define how many lines you'd like to see in minimized mode
* docked chatframes are now handled properly
* fixed chat frame flickering happening sometimes on mouseover
* you can define how long you should hover the frame until it maximizes
* chatframes can stay maximized for a defined time before minimizing on mouseleave
* you can configure on which custom channels the chatframe maximizes

2.0
*Core rewritten
*You are now able to manage the chatframes you want to be affected (like chatframe 5, 6, 8, and so on)
*TOC bump

1.1
*A few improvements
*Now Updates when the Chat Window is too small or big

1.0.1
*Added Option, that the Chat will stay open for a defined time after mouseover

Kerecha. I Believe this is what you need to do, for whichever chat frames you want to collapse/maximize. So if you have 3 chat frames, make sure to also add ["ChatFrame3"] = true in the appropriate section as well, and so on.

I tried that before but got some errors. But after some help elsewhere i got the solution

The lua isn't exactly clear about how to add additional channels it only says

Code:

	},
	["ChatFrame3"] = true, -- "true" just makes this frame available for minimizing and registers it with Chicchai
}

Making it ab bit of guesswork how to add 4-5-6-7.

Code:

	},
	["ChatFrame3"] = true, -- "true" just makes this frame available for minimizing and registers it with Chicchai
}	
	["ChatFrame4"] = true,
}	
	["ChatFrame5"] = true,
}	
	["ChatFrame6"] = true,
}	
	["ChatFrame7"] = true,
}

Was the first that came to mind for me with my limited lua knowledge, and it was obviously wrong

Code:

	},
	["ChatFrame3"] = true, -- "true" just makes this frame available for minimizing and registers it with Chicchai
	["ChatFrame4"] = true,
	["ChatFrame5"] = true,
	["ChatFrame6"] = true,
	["ChatFrame7"] = true,
}

Being the correct way.

If 2 "extras" was in the original code it woul be a lot easier to figure out the proper way to add more

ie

Code:

	},
	["ChatFrame3"] = true, -- "true" just makes this frame available for minimizing and registers it with Chicchai
	["ChatFrame4"] = false,  -- some info text about what false setting does or something
}

Also getting an annoying error on reloads.

When first loding it works fine.
But after a /rl this error pops

It will.
But it will take some time, as things in RL are starting to overhelm me.
Maybe Cargor will have a time where he's bored, but i'm sure he will focus on other Addons first, so don't expect it soon.

Sorry for that.

I would like someone here to help me permanently minimize my chat window. It stays small (1 bar) until someone in my raid or party group talks and then it turns full size for about 3seconds. This is very distracting and I’d just like it to stay small until I say otherwise. What do?

I'll go addon-less a little later on today and play with it, to see if I can errors. If I don't then I'll push it to my girlfriend and perhaps guild to see if they get errors ... and if they don't, then I'll see about uploading it. [Will talk to Cairenn/Shirik/insert Admin here about what I would need to do in order to upload essentially someone else's addon] Just a heads up - it's being worked on.

I got the general -combat-group chat frames on the left screen and Guild chat on the right screen. Whenever left chat is getting updated it will maximize works great , however when guildchat getting updated the left chat will maximize, any way i can set this up so it will maximize by itself as standalone without left chat mazimized ? thanks for great addon.
