Hello forumers,

This tutorial will help you achieve a popup chatbox for the default ForuMotion ChatBox.

Installing

To start you must make sure that you have the default chatbox enabled so navigate to..
Administration Panel > Modules > Chatbox > Configuration

Activate the chatbox : yes and then click validate.
ForuMotion Popup ChatBox Captur26

Now that the chatbox is activated we should apply the CSS for the basic style, so please navigate to..
Administration Panel > Display > Pictures and colors > Colors > CSS stylesheet

Paste the code below in your sheet and submit.
Code:
/*Chatbox*/
#chatButton{
box-shadow:0px 10px 6px rgba(255,255,255, 0.2) inset, 0px -10px 6px rgba(0,0,0, 0.2) inset;
padding:10px 20px 10px 20px;
background-color:#257;
border:1px solid #146;
font-weight:bold;
font-size:10px;
z-index:999;
color:#fff;
}
#chatButton:hover{
cursor:pointer;
color:#ff8;
background-color:#368;
}
#chatBox iframe{
z-index:999;
border:none;
height:500px;
width:700px;
}
To adjust the colors of the button simply edit the background-color of #chatButton. To adjust the height and width modify the height and width properties of #chatBox iframe.

Now that you know how to modify the style you should be ready to edit when you're ready. Let's move on and apply the script for our chatbox.

navigate to..
Administration Panel > Modules > HTML & JAVASCRIPT > Javascript codes management > Create a new script

Title: Popup ChatBox
Placement: In all the pages (If you want the chatbox everywhere)
Javascript Code:
Code:
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
jQuery('body').append('<span id="chatButton" title="Open/Close Chatbox">Open Chat</span><div id="chatBox"><iframe src="/chatbox/index.forum"></iframe></div>');
jQuery('#chatBox').hide();
jQuery('#chatButton').css('position', 'fixed').css('right', '0px').css('bottom', '0px');
jQuery('#chatBox iframe').css('position', 'fixed').css('right', '10px').css('bottom', '45px');
if(!document.getElementById('logout')){
jQuery('#chatButton').hide();
jQuery('#chatBox').hide();}
jQuery('#chatButton').click(function(){
jQuery('#chatBox').fadeToggle();
});
});
When you're finished save the script and your chatbox should be available at the click of a button!

The result:
ForuMotion Popup ChatBox Captur25

Clicking the 'Open Chat' button will show/hide the chatbox. If you want to modify the wording, say to another language all you need to do is edit this line:
Code:
jQuery('body').append('<span id="chatButton" title="Open/Close Chatbox">Open Chat</span><div id="chatBox"><iframe src="/chatbox/index.forum"></iframe></div>');

Lastly to modify the positioning edit this line:
Code:
jQuery('#chatButton').css('position', 'fixed').css('right', '0px').css('bottom', '0px');
jQuery('#chatBox iframe').css('position', 'fixed').css('right', '10px').css('bottom', '45px');
If you wish you can take the above out and use your CSS stylesheet to modify the positioning. This is to prevent users who forget to add CSS from messing up their forums layout, so the positioning is done within the script.

Thank you for reading, if you have any questions or comments please feel free to leave them. Enjoy!

Even if you pick the do not show option, a link is added to the who's online content.

If you want to hide that link, you can add this to your CSS stylesheet.
Code:
 #wio_chatters {
    display: none;
  }

This is for #phpBB3 forums.
