    I know this was addressed in other topics that are locked, but the proposed solutions aren't working for me. Maybe they are too old and don't work with forumotion's current coding?

    I would like to put the Chat Box or another chat on top of ALL the pages of my forum so when people are browsing through the forum posts, they can still participate on chat. I have been trying for several years to remedy this.

    Hi there, this should do the trick.

    ACP(Admin Control Panel) > Modules > HTML & JAVASCRIPT > Javascript codes management > Javascript Codes

    Title: Popup Chatbox
    Placement: All pages
    Code:
    $(function() {
      if (_userdata.session_logged_in == 0) return;
      var chat = document.createElement('IFRAME'), bouton = document.createElement('DIV'), frame;
      chat.src = '/chatbox/index.forum';
      chat.setAttribute('style','width:700px;height:350px;display:none;border:1px solid #666;position:fixed;bottom:40px;right:0;z-index:99999;');
      bouton.innerHTML = 'Chat (0)';
      bouton.setAttribute('style','cursor:pointer;position:fixed;bottom:0;right:0;padding:5px 10px;border:1px solid #666;background:#333;color:#FFF;z-index:99999;');
      document.body.appendChild(bouton);
      document.body.appendChild(chat);
     
      bouton.onclick = function() {
        if (/none/.test(chat.style.display)) chat.style.display = 'block';
        else chat.style.display = 'none';
      };
      chat.onload = function() {   
        if (chat.contentDocument) frame = chat.contentDocument;
        else if (chat.contentWindow) frame = chat.contentWindow.document;
        var memb_thn = frame.getElementById('chatbox_members').getElementsByTagName('LI').length, memb_now = memb_thn, a = frame.getElementsByTagName('A');
        bouton.innerHTML = 'Chat ('+memb_thn+')';
        for (i=0; i<a.length; i++) if (/archives/.test(a[i].href)) a[i].onclick = function() { window.clearInterval(_refresh) };
        _refresh = window.setInterval(function() {memb_now = frame.getElementById('chatbox_members').getElementsByTagName('LI').length;if (memb_now > memb_thn || memb_now < memb_thn) {memb_thn = memb_now;bouton.innerHTML = 'Chat ('+memb_now+')'}},1);
      };
    });

    Did you be sure the JavaScripts are enabled?

    Hmm, that may be outdated for your forum version. You could try this as well. It adds the chatbox to the toolbar.

    No, that isn't quite what I am looking for. I want an always open Chat Box on Top that stays on each page.

    So you don't want a chatbox that collapses, basically hides and is visible upon being clicked on?

    Hello @Draxion. I was wondering how that code was going to embed the forumotion chatbox on ALL PAGES. Smile Smile
