chat link below header

Is it possible to make it so that there is a link to the chatroom as a button near the top (along with the Home, ­Portal­, Calendar­, Gallery, ­FAQ­, Search, Memberlist, ­Usergroups, Profile­, etc buttons)?

I would want that button to also display how many users are currently in the chatroom. When clicked the button would open up the chatroom in a new tab.

Lastly, can I change the settings so that there is no auto-boot after a certain amount of inactivity in the chatroom?

If the default chatroom of forumotion will not allow these things, where can I go to create such a chatroom?

Yes, its possible.
No, i dont know how (sorry)
and
No, you cannot turn off the auto-boo.

thanks for trying to help

I've done this. Just go to Administrator control Panel => Modules => HTML pages, make a new one, then add this code in:

Code:

<div id="chatbox_top" style="overflow:none;height:300px;"></div><script type="text/javascript">insertChatBoxNew('chatbox_top', '/chatbox/chatbox.forum?page=front&');</script><img src="http://2img.net/i/fa/resize.gif" onmousedown="javascript:resizeElement(event, 'chatbox_top');" alt="" style="cursor:se-resize; float: right;" /><div class="clear"></div><span class="corners-bottom">

That will make your forum's chatbox appear on the HTML page, then simply link to it from a header button by going to Administrator Control Panel => Display => Headers & Navigation then click "Add a customized menu".

why do you frame your chatbox in a html?


all you do is add a link to :
http://yourforumaddress/chatbox/chatbox.forum

and thats it, you got a chatbox in a pop up

That does work Jalokim, but I was hoping for a different chat room. One that doesn't auto-boot.

Then you can always google a chatroom , embed it in a new html page and post the link on your forum

another alternative is IRC

thanks, IRC should work
