Please provide more context. What do you want to accomplish? Are you developing a plugin?

Yes want to track and capture data of the vistor who just starts his/her chat.Need To develop a seperate plugin?

Actually the scenario is that while the visitor starts his/her thread want to insert data in our site.So how to do that?

If I understand your requirements correctly I believe you will need to develop a plugin that intercepts events from Mibew and posts them to your server. A good starting point will be the RealBan plugin. You can take a look at the run() method in here to see how to attach listeners for the various events.

Also, if you were talking about sending some data from your server to the chat window (e.g. pre-populating the username and email) this thread could be helpful. https://mibew.org/forums/index.php/topic,191805.msg198390.html

I have also started a Plugin Developers Lounge (https://mibew.org/forums/index.php/topic,191972.0.html) to provide an environment for plugin developers to share ideas. If you go down the route of developing the plugin yourself feel free to post in there.
