Description of problem

Hello everybody!

I was following @Ange Tuteur tutorial on " Add the chatbox to your toolbar". Works actually kinda nice. I have only couple problems with this functionality:

1. SOLVED I am using sticky mainmenu as well. With extra button in toolbar I am having overlapping issue. Maybe it is possible to move the whole toolbar to the bottom of the screen? Or at least the CHATBOX button.

2. Is it possible to translate these words in the chatbox itself:
"Chatbox" - top left corner
"Archives" - top right corner
"Away" - top left
"Send" - bottom right

3. is it possible to close the chatbox by pressing outside of the chatbox window?

~~4. For some reason, the chatbox button does not show up on Inbox page. Portal is fine. Even custom HTML pages are fine.~~

5. What determines session timeout? Is it possible to extend it?

6. User avatar. If user uploaded avatar - all good. If it is a new user with default avatar, it is displayed like this:

Default avatar is set and displayed correctly in topics.

Thank you! The tips are very useful.
One of them would solve "Chatbox" translation issue.

Regarding issue 1.

I have tried something like this:
Code:
div#fa_toolbar { position: fixed; bottom: 0; }

It works, but notification window and user info blocks get populated bellow - out of the screen. Not sure how to change their position yet. Will keep experimenting

I have SOLVED issue 1. Yey.
My toolbar is fully revamped now Very Happy

poor toolbar.

This script allows you to change your chatbox title:

Code:: $(window).load(function() { var chatbox_script = function() { $("a.chat-title").text("In Da Place"); }; var s=document.createElement('script');s.text="("+chatbox_script.toString()+")();";$('object[data^="/chatbox/index.forum"],iframe[src^="/chatbox/index.forum"]').each(function(){try{$(this.contentDocument||this.contentWindow.document).find("#chatbox").closest("html").find("head").first().each(function(){this.appendChild(s.cloneNode(true))})}catch(a){}}) });

Change "In Da Place" allows you to change the title.

I have tried it before (from tutorial), but it does not seam to work.
Even on regular chatbox on the page.

Hi there, you can change the title on the chatbox from the script provided with adding it in the toolbar.

As I mentioned before, the script did not work for me.
It did not even work on regular chatbox.

BUMP.

I found another issue:

6. User avatar. If user uploaded avatar - all good. If it is a new user with default avatar, it is displayed like this:

Default avatar is set and displayed correctly in topics.
