chatbox - Inserting my chatbox into my Navbar Empty Inserting my chatbox into my Navbar

Post by Eman and Kou November 14th 2010, 2:53 am

So yeah i'm trying to insert the code for my chatbox into my navbar so that when people click it, it pops up out of the navbar.

Now here's some insider scoop about my navbar before people reply with the wrong idea: My navbar's not at the top of the page, and it doesn't stay in one place.

I have my navbar fixed to the side so that it scrolls down so it's visible whenever the users need it to be visible, but I also want my chatbox to be in my navbar so that my users can simply click and bam it be there without having to go ALLL the way back to the main page just to look at the chatbox.

Now a side note, i'm using Punbb, so I need someone who's well versed in it to help me. I tried looking at google, but that got me no where...

Thanks ahead in advance!~

Thanks for the help Gangstarr but that's not what i'm trying to do...exactly...I want an actual chatbox to pop out of my Navbar. Because I have template editing which allows me to edit the navbar code so I should be able to insert a chatbox, in theory...

well then you may have to create a whole new nav bar.
i can give you a code that will pop-out to the chat along with the image you want for the nav bar,

i will see if it can be inserted like you are saying.. if not it's no big deal and rather easy to just create a whole new custom navbar.. but i will see if i can get it to work the way you are saying first..

I am at school right now,so i will try to have it latter tonight for ya..

unless gangstar15 rono or other members hit ya back first Smile

oh and you want the forumotion chat right..

Kirk is right (: you need to create a custom navbar because you can't add something like:
Code:
href="javascript:popup('poppedexample.html');"
to the new link from the ACP :/

You can do it by placing the generated navbar
and the popup chat link in single row table.

(test forum example)
chatbox - Inserting my chatbox into my Navbar Templates-nav-popup-link1b

[ Edit the overall_header template ]

after this: <div id="pun-navlinks">
Code:
<ul class="clearfix">
<li>

<center>
<table><tr><td>

{GENERATED_NAV_BAR}

</td>
<td style="padding-top:4px">

<a onclick="window.open('/chatbox/chatbox.forum?archives=0', 'popup1', 'width=830,height=300,height=200,left=150,top=250'); return false" href="/chatbox/chatbox.forum?archives=0" target="popup1"><font face="arial" color="white" size="3">Popup Chat</font></a>

</td></tr></table>
</center>

</li>
</ul>
if you want to see chat archives after logging in...
change archives=0 to archives=1 in the code above



admin panel view (click)
chatbox - Inserting my chatbox into my Navbar Th_templates-nav-popup-link2c



Pre-edit
Code:
<ul class="clearfix">
<li>{GENERATED_NAV_BAR}</li>
</ul>
