Solved Chatbox in widget

Post by michael.h.o February 11th 2010, 1:46 pm

I have a small problem with my chatbox. I have tryede to put it into a widget so i can use it all the time while going from tread to tread.
It worked in some way, since i can see it in the side and also read who is online in the chat. But that is all i can see. So the chatbox in my widget is worth nothing Sad
I have tryede to search the forum and found som guides what gives codes. I have also tryede to put the code into the chat tempelate, but nothing changede (and yes i did active the changes).

Therefore i will ask if any of you can help me make the chatbox a size so i can type and read the posts in it, in the widget.

Here is the link to my forum: http://kingsalliance.danskforum.net/index.htm
Chatbox in the top right


PS. I use PBB2

May I remind you that double/triple posting isn't tolerated unless separated by 24 hours (Use the edit button) Wink

Its not possible to add the default forumotion chatbox properly in widgets because of restriction on widths.

IRC chat room link, add the link in a widget.

Also can you tell me more about how to add the irc chat link to the forum (or give me a link to another one who have asked the same thing)

Also sorry for the double post Sad a bad mistake from my side

Well you can have those shoutboxes in the widget.

Isn't irc internet relay chat which we use with mIRC.

I thought you had a chatroom already available on a link. So i don't think i will be able to help you out on that.

I have the IRC link here: http://board.kingsage.dk/index.php?page=IrcChat&s=66795f7241db48da241811abce00b00219cd12e1

Yes IRC = Internet Relay Chat and yes you use it in mIRC Smile
I have made a chat room in mIRC but don't know how to find the adress on that (do you know how?)

The shoutbox thing might work, so many thanks for that.

I have my latest question here, how to change the background colour of the "box" where the that user names are? Right now it is white and i want to change it to black (this is in the chat forumotion provides)

Make a html page on your website with this code.
Code:
<iframe src="http://www.google.com/" style="border: 0" width="850" height="600" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>
Change the url to your chatroom link.

You can change the width, height whether you want a scroll appearing etc.

Code:
#chatbox_members {
background-color: #ffffff;
   }
Add this code to your css, change the #ffffff to any color code.

#FFFFFF

Thats the thing which you put in your css stylesheet.
#FFFFFF = White color

Thats what it has done.
