Inserting Chat box into Thread post

by Royer Blaze on June 10th 2015, 1:41 am

Would it be possible to embed a chat box into a thread post? If so, would it be possible to insert multiple ones that wouldn't all share the same text. Same if I'm on one page I am able to talk to Sam, and if I navigate to another page I am able to talk to only Joe. Or whomever was on that page in that chat box logged into it at that given time.

Thoughts? Options? I'd used google, but turned up nothing.

A chat box? I don't know how you would insert Forumotion's chat box into a post, but you can certainly insert a a chat box into a post. Using a chat box requires the use of JavaScript. But... you can't use JavaScript in a post. Correct. But you can link to JavaScript documents using <script> - here's one:

Code:: <iframe WIDTH="500" HEIGHT="200" title="Chat Box" src="http://shoutbox.widget.me/window.html?uid=5hk8owff" frameborder="0" scrolling="auto"></iframe><script src="http://shoutbox.widget.me/v1.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

Note - Credit goes to http://shoutbix.widget.me - all I did was make it look a bit nicer by editing the height and width.

@Star Arrow Do you know if I insert these into multiple posts that they'd show a different chat every page? Its for an idea of mine... that would require for each post (that are on different pages) to have different chat that way two people talking on one post don't interrupt three other people talking on another post.

I'll look into this. Thank you. (Edited to add) @Brandon_g I looked into it, and its definitely interesting. Is there a way I can put a separate shoutbox in each topic?

@Niko Either or. If I could put either or perhaps a shoutbox in the thread/post for my members to post in and each shoutbox be a separate thing, that'd be great.
