Chatbox on all pages

by Jellydonut March 26th 2012, 1:43 am

Another chatbox question... how do you get the normal chatbox to be at the top of all pages on your forum? Like, so if your viewing a thread, you can also be looking at the chatbox.

You can put it in overall header in templates. Iframe it in Smile

Sorry I'm so stupid a this... but how do I do that? xD

Thanks, but I don't really want a pop up chat, I want the original chatbox to be on all pages.

I'll see how this works, thanks (:

Edit-
Do I have to put my forum name in the www. thing? Or is there any part of the code I need to change?
Where do I put the code?

Edit again- Oh, in the founder accounts admin panel.
Last time I edited a template, it said 'Waiting' for a long time, and it still is waiting. That's a problem, isn't it? Why is it waiting for so long?

You could also try this code:

Code:: <iframe src="http://Gfx1.forumotion.com/chatbox" frameborder="0" width="1073" height="330"></iframe>

and it goes under:

admin panel--->Display---->Templates---->General---->Viewtopic_body--->paste right at the top and save---->after that go back to where the teplates are and look for Chatbox on all pages Ajouter

, click on it and you should be able to see the chatbox in all the pages

make sure to change the URL if you use the code i provided

I simply put the HTML in the overall_header without the <frame> and it worked. Thank You Drogba. Solved! Smile

Thanks, but it's not working for me
There's something wrong with my coding, I think. Every time I update templates, it says 'Waiting' and it never stops waiting. Anyone know what to do?

Ah! I didn't know you needed to do that, thanks. I'll see if it works.

Edit--
something seems to have worked, but there's a problem
Chatbox on all pages 2v9cbcw

The same *server not found* message is on the homepage along with the chatbox, along with being on every other page of the forum.

by PorkyPine V10 March 27th 2012, 1:05 am

Ahh try my code, i tested out drogbas but i edited a little

by TyManGFx March 27th 2012, 1:16 am

here

Code:: <iframe src="/chatbox/index.forum?" frameborder="0" width="1073" height="330"></iframe>

by Jellydonut March 27th 2012, 1:20 am

Thanks for helping xD
I'll try the new codes
Do I have to delete the old ones?

Edit-
The most recent code worked, but now the chatbox is at the very top of the page, like above the banner. And it's too wide.

by TyManGFx March 27th 2012, 1:22 am

yes remove all the old ones

by TyManGFx March 27th 2012, 1:26 am

lol porky i made ur code work

by Jellydonut March 27th 2012, 1:26 am

I didn't mean for you to repost it, I just said I was going to try everyones codes (:
Ok, so should I put it in Overall header, or something else? Overall header makes it at the wayy top of the forum. It does put it on all pages though, that's good.

by PorkyPine V10 March 27th 2012, 1:26 am

Jelly, it goes in the viewtopic_body

by Jellydonut March 27th 2012, 1:31 am

I entered and published porky's code, but the chatbox is still only on one page.
Sorry I'm so difficult xP I don't get how it's not working

by PorkyPine V10 March 27th 2012, 1:32 am

try posting something

by TyManGFx March 27th 2012, 1:32 am

try mine

Code:: <iframe src="/chatbox/index.forum?" frameborder="0" width="1073" height="330"></iframe>

and link to your forum?

by Jellydonut March 27th 2012, 2:45 am

Thanks, I think it worked (:
It just doesn't show on the forums, only threads, but that's fine.
Thanks for helping me!
Does anyone know how I can make the chatbox less wide on the threads? The normal chatbox is a good length, but the one on the threads s really wide and stretches the page.
