can anyone tell me how to create a custom chat box? i've got the code already but i', not sure how to put it the forum. i tried using HTML editor but the page came out very small

What code are you using please post it also post where your trying to put it.

having problems putting on a custom chat.

here is the code:
this one is to place it on the website:
<!-- Begin ShoutMix - http://www.shoutmix.com -->
<iframe title="kittyness" src="http://www4.shoutmix.com/?kittyness" width="160" height="400" frameborder="0" scrolling="auto">
<a href="http://www4.shoutmix.com/?kittyness">View shoutbox</a>
</iframe>
<br /><a href="http://www.shoutmix.com" title="Get your own free shoutbox chat widget at ShoutMix!">Free chat widget @ ShoutMix</a><br />
<!-- End ShoutMix -->

this one says it will place a flash viewer on the page for the chat:

<!-- Begin ShoutMix - http://www.shoutmix.com -->
<object title="kittyness" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www4.shoutmix.com/viewer.swf" width="160" height="400">
<param name="movie" value="http://www4.shoutmix.com/viewer.swf" />
<param name="flashvars" value="id=kittyness&amp;popup=1&amp;invite=Join%20chat%21" />
</object>
<br /><a href="http://www.shoutmix.com" title="Get your own free shoutbox chat widget at ShoutMix!">Free chat widget @ ShoutMix</a><br />
<!-- End ShoutMix -->


i am trying to put it in a block, for a portal. my forum has clans on it, and i would very much like it if they had their own clan chat box.

i would really appreciate the help, and if the site i got these codes from wont work with forumation i would also ask if someone could post up a link to one that will work, with directions of course on how to put that one on. ^.^'

thanks in advance

(i also appologise if a FAQ has already been made for this, ive been searching for a long time now and just cant seem to find a topic that helps)

Kittyshadow, just put your first code in General Admin / Homepage / Homepage Message
I've used the same kind of shoutbox for my forum, and it came out fine, good luck

I'm going to try

oh.. will it not work on a portal?

because i think i said that... hm... anyways, i wanted it on a portal, because like i said the clans on my forum, ive made them their own portal and would like the chat on there so only them can see it and talk on it on their portal page. like... i send the link to their portal to their clan leader.


i have html enabled on the forum, so all my members should have it enabled... so.. im thinking.. someone must have turned it off...
unless it doesnt work like that. do all the members need to have html enabled for it to work? that would be a pain if so.... hm..

i will check and try it like you said, thank you for replying ^.^
i'll edit this, or post again if im able to fix it now.


EDIT:

it didnt work... .. idk whats wrong..

I don't think you have to turn on/off anything :|
just put these code in the Homepage message

<iframe title="kittyness" src="http://www4.shoutmix.com/?kittyness" width="-----" height="-----" frameborder="0" scrolling="auto"></iframe>

if you want it to appear on portal you have to create a custom block
(go to Modules/ Portal Management/ Structure), then put the same code on it

for example, my forum link: [removed] (best view with Firefox )

Oh! i fixed it! i found out what i was missing, thank you for your replies. Its much appreciated ^.^
