A very easy to Make widget for a Chat Box in CMS. RC-4

Edit: Works with Gold 4.0 Edition.

The reason I made this Widget was to have a Chat box for my Site. It is a Temporary solution until a expert Coder develops a Ajax or more elaborate Chat system.

This was really easy to do and the code is a freebie From widget Me, So I tried it 2 or 3 different ways and it works fine.

I have My Site redirected in the Host Cpanel to the Home page (CMS) This way all will see the Chat or announcements In the chat window.

Can be Made to fit 1 column 2 or 3

For those who haven't quite got the hang of Layouts and widgets, I will try to give a Simple How to:

1) In the ACP goto ---> CMs---> Widgets
Make a new widget and name it Chat Box or your Domain Chat Box Make it a Static HTML Save it.

2) In Widgets find your named Chat Box and Click Configure and add the Code below and Save. ( You Can Resize it as you see fit in configure as well as add Colors)

3) In CMS goto ---> Layout manager and Place the Widget where you Like. It is completely customizable in size and color.

You Can See the Optional Layouts in the Screen Shots.

Demo to see it live. HERE

As I said, it is a temporary Soulution and I needed it today.

Example Code to Insert in the Widget go to Outside Link provided to get a personal User ID

Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

NOTE: The size in the Code is to fit the Demo Shown, you will have to r-size to your own Taste.

Please Click Installed to let me Know if this was useful to you

Outside Link HERE

There is a Floating Chatbox for all your templates (Sits at Bottom) But I prefer not to do Template edits. Another reason this will do for the Time Being.

If You Try it Let me know how it worked for you.

Wow the ridicules amount of 1 stars being passed out around here are getting out of control. I always base my ratings on the mods ability to do as described not on its abilities to do things i "wish" it would do. If i had to guess i would assume these single star ratings are being passed out by people who couldnt code the alphabet let alone a working hack.

This looks promising and like its simplicity in nature. good work.

That makes sense to have to get your own User ID, I will revise it for folks to do that, That didn't occur to me that would happen thanks for the Update The outside Link is where you would get a user ID, I'll revise it. Did you have any problem with making the widget and Layout? Kinda easy I thought.

Did you go to CMS ---> Layout manager and add it to your CMS layout? when you do, you can drag it to where you want to place it.

I don't understand the whole layout thing yet I guess. Someone else set up the CMS. Went to Layout Manager and saw the Add New Layout button, and added a layout for the widget. From there I'm a little lost, lol.

When you go to CMS layout manager you should see a window open and look for "Home Layout" Then in the Box at left and find chat and click the right arrow to add it to the Home layout. Then drag it where you want to place it.

This is based on you making a new Widget, and put the NEW code in it and saved it
