Re: Chat Box on Forum.


In order to put something like that on the main page only, you would need to put it into the custom language set. Unfortunately, the custom language set doesn't have enough room in it for the <embed> code. Therefore, in order to do what you're wanting, you would need a web host that you can upload html pages to, put the <embed> code into that html page, and display that html page through an iframe. If you have this capability, I'll tell you what code to use and where. emoticon

Ok. emoticon

Open Notepad and paste this in:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head><title>Stableking Chat</title>
<style type="text/css">
body { margin: 0; background: #000; font-size:80%; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<embed src="http://www.xatech.com/web_gear/chat/chat.swf" quality="high" width="990" height="400" name="chat" FlashVars="id=44195526" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://xat.com/update_flash.shtml" /><br><a target="_BLANK" href="http://xat.com/web_gear/?cb">Get your own Chat Box!</a> <a target="_BLANK" href="http://xat.com/web_gear/chat/go_large.php?id=44195526">Go Large!</a>
</body>
</html>


Save it as chat.htm and upload it to your web host.

Then, go into your board's custom language set. Where it says location_boardlink, replace what you currently have with this:

<iframe style="width:995px; height:425px; border:0; src="http://full_url_to/chat.htm"></iframe><a href="%1">%2</a><br />

If you would rather have it centered on the page, do this instead:

<iframe style="width:995px; height:425px; border:0; margin: 0 auto; display: block;" src="http://full_url_to/chat.htm"></iframe><a href="%1">%2</a><br />

Change the part in red, above, so that you are pointing to the file on your web host.

Hi Stallions emoticon

The code that Lesigner Girl posted for you is an iframe code. An iframe is something hosted by another site, that is placed via frame onto another site.

You have to have access to a website that you can host .htm, .html, .php, etc. files. If you don't have a site/access to something that does that for you, it won't work on your messageboard.

The code you posted here is the chat code, without an iframe, and the bottom looks like it's for a page view counter.

Right, this is why I said you need a web host to upload it to. If you don't have your own domain, you might be able to find a good free host somewhere, but the trick is finding one that doesn't serve popups.

Edit: Josh beat me to it. emoticon

You could always use the Runboard Chat and set-up a room for your board there to see if you like it. If you do like it then we can show you how to set a link to your Runboard chat room on your main forum...

That actually sounds like the best idea. With getting a free host for the iframe, you would probably have to worry about your bandwidth, as many free hosts will close your site down if you exceed a select amount of bandwidth.

With creating a Runboard chat chatroom, you wouldn't have to worry about bandwidth, or ads.. Plus you can create a private room, so not just anyone that visits you board will be able to see what is written.
