    Is there a chatroom plugin available for wordpress 2.1.2? If not, is there another way to add a chatroom to your blog? Thanks in advance for any advice. I’m using the Digg 3 columns 1.0.1 theme by small potatoe.

  • I would like to know the same thing. I had bought flashchat but I cant integrate it with wordpress without writing some code that I don’t understand. So, instead of buggin’ people to try and teach me what to do, I am looking for a chat plugin that will integrate with wordpress so that my users dont have to register twice to use the site and then the chat.

    I got the ajax-shoutbox plugin but I cant seem to be able to add it to a page (so i can make it bigger). I can use it on the left or right sidebar, but on it’s own page ??

    I have browsed those links but none tell me how to add it to a regular php window.

    I want to add it to:

    https://rememberthetitans.net/index/?page_id=20

    on the main content area. :/

    I’m working on a hack for this. I’ll post back here shortly…

    OK, here is the code. First, create a new page. You may enter some information at the top of the post if you wish. Wordspew will appear below it. Your page Title will be used in the conditional.

    Next, modify page.php in your theme to include the following code:

    <!--post with more link -->
    <?php the_content('<p class="serif">Read the rest of this page &raquo;'); ?>
    /* Insert the next two lines... */
    <!--Conditional for inserting Wordspew in the page -->
    <?php if (is_page('Your Page Title')) { if(function_exists(jal_get_shoutbox)) { jal_get_shoutbox(); }  ;} ?>
    <!--if you paginate pages-->
    <?php link_pages('<strong>Pages:</strong> ', '
    ', 'number'); ?>

    OMG! IT WORKS! GENIUS! PURE GENIUS! I am adding you to my thank you list in that site. BTW, would you happen to know how to modify the size? Make it narrower but longer so it wont eat up my sidebars?

    Thanks so much!

    FOUND IT! It was in the CSS ?? Silly me!

    Very good! If you think this problem has been solved, please mark it “Closed”. That helps us keep track of open problems.

    Looks good.
    Would it work with users logged-in via mobile phones? ??

    Hmmm… I haven’t tried it. It might take Lester Chan’s WP-Wap plugin to make it work.

    Well, I made it bigger, but I cant center it. It makes my left and sidebars drop under it. Is there a way to center it or have the sidebars not display

    In Wordspew’s css.php file, try modifying these lines to control the height and width:

    #chatoutput {
    height: 200px;
    /* width: 172px; */

    Remove the /* and */ to control the width.

    2notch,
    Sorry to be such a noob…downloaded shout box and activated it. It’s not in either of my side bars…it is though under manage on dashboard, but I can’t figure out how to get it in my side bar? Which file do I add your code to, theme? Is there another plugin that I need to have installed to allow shout box to work? Do I need a sidebar plugin also?
    I have WP 2.1.2 and digg 3 column 1.0.1 with only one other plugin installed (popup gallery). Thanks for the link to shout box…now if only I can get it to work.

    You have to manually add this code to your sidebar.php in your theme:
    <?php if(function_exists(jal_get_shoutbox)) { jal_get_shoutbox(); } ?>

    2notch,
    Thanks for your help, I’m not sure how to post code here…I’ll just add a a snippet of my side bar file, I’m not sure where/how to go about inserting the code. I was reading that I can’t place the code between ul/ tags, is that correct…if you got time maybe you could show me where to insert it in my side bar.

    #\<!– Start Sidebar –>

    <div class=”sidebar”>

      <?php if ( function_exists(‘dynamic_sidebar’) && dynamic_sidebar(2) ) : else : ?>
    • <h2><?php _e(‘Calendar’); ?></h2>
    • <?php get_calendar(); ?>

    <?php get_links_list(); ?>

    <?php endif; ?>

    • <h2><?php _e(‘Meta’); ?></h2>
      <?php wp_register(); ?>\
      There is more to the sidebar file but I didn’t think you wanted/need to see that.
      I hope I didn’t anger anyone for posting that bit of code…If there is a certain way code should be posted in the forums please let me know.
      I’m just a little confused by what I read in the txt file for the plugin.

    I hope I did post that correctly, I don’t see the ul/ tags that are in the sidebar code?

    Try placing it right after the calendar.
    Here’s the original code:

    <li><h2><?php _e('Calendar'); ?></h2>
    
    	<ul>
    
    	  <li><?php get_calendar(); ?></li>
    
    	</ul>
    
    </li>
    
    	<?php get_links_list(); ?>

    Insert the shoutbox code like this:

    <li><h2><?php _e('Calendar'); ?></h2>
    	<ul>
    	  <li><?php get_calendar(); ?></li>
    	</ul>
     </li>
    
     <li><h2><?php _e('Shoutbox'); ?></h2>
            <ul>
    	  <li><?php if(function_exists(jal_get_shoutbox)) { jal_get_shoutbox(); } ?></li>
    	</ul>
     </li>
    
    	<?php get_links_list(); ?>
