Add rules beneath the chatbox

This tutorial will allow you to add a set of links, or just a link to your chatbox rules, underneath the chatbox on your Forumotion forum. This is applicable to any forum version.

Appearance under the Chatbox on the Homepage:

Adding the link below the chatbox

Go to Administration Panel > Display > Templates > General edit the index_body template. Edit

There are two variables for the chatbox, search for the one that you're using :

If the chatbox is on top of your forum :

Code:: {CHATBOX_TOP}

If the chatbox is at the bottom of your forum :

Code:: {CHATBOX_BOTTOM}

When you have found the variable, place the following code after it :

Code::  <div align="center" class="chatRules"><a href="/URL_HERE" target="_blank">Chatbox Rules</a></div>

You can copy and paste the link, or be creative and add something different. Just make sure that the content is between the following comments, so that it only displays to logged in members.

Code::  content here

Modifications :

Replace /URL_HERE by the URL of your chatbox rules. You may also use the classname .chatRules to edit the style of the chatbox rules link.

Example :
( Administration Panel > Display > Colors > CSS stylesheet )

Code:: .chatRules a { font-size:12px; font-weight:bold; color:#F66; }

When finished remember to save and publish the template. Add

That's all folks ! Very good
