Title: how do i instal a xat chat box into my forum.?
Post by: Justin1 on December 31, 2009, 08:43:04 PM
Well i looked for an "idiots guide to installing your chat box" and couldn't find one.. Instead i keep getting a forum with the entire embed code wrote out and displayed instead of the chat box.
 
I tried creating a catagory named chat with a forum and the html code in the description as the xat site advised with the same results.. Either i'm a complete idiot (probly the case) or I seem to be missing something here.. Anyone know what i need to do to install the chat box to the forum i've begun to create. :?:

Yeah like i said I'm a complete idiot at these things.. :-? what your saying is to put [chatbox] then the embedable HTML code for the chatbox followed by [/chatbox] in the bbcode usage box. And then the plain embedable html code into the HTML replacement box.? I tried that, it accepted the bbcode but i can't see the chat box anywhere.. :confused:  I know i know.. I'm a code idiot LOL but this is my first time attempting to learn this and i'd appreciate any and all help. If it helps the embedable code for the chatbox is

I thank you in advance for having to deal with my ignorance and lack of tech talk. LMAO

I think it is not showing up because you are missing the closing tag. Please try to use the following code and let me know if the problem is still there.

Well... I copy and pasted the "code" you rewrote for me, yet it still does not show up.. At this point I feel as though I'm a lost cause, It accepts the bbcode but doesn't display a chatbox anywhere..

Please go to xat chat. Free chat rooms. Make your own chat group. (http://xatech.com) register for a chat box, then get the embed code and send it to me.

1. Yes, that is all.
2. No, you don't have to disable the ajax chatbox. Just create a new forum or edit any forum, then put the [chatbox][/chatbox] BBcode into the forum descriptions.

It is because the shoutbox can display a maximum of 5 messages per page.

That is not possible because the ajax shoutbox is different with the xatech chatbox.

xat is a chat room not a chat box so its not like the ajax, xat is mainly for live chatting but if you want a chat box for just normal chatting which anyone can use at anytime just search for some decent ones out there as i know theres quite a few
