Hi guys,

I was just wondering if anyone could help me, I'm trying to integrate the AJAX chat into my forums but I'm a bit stuck/confused.

http://phalanx-legion.co.uk/

Those are my forums and I am trying to get the same type of chat setup as on the Icy Phoenix site, whilst keeping the layout on my forums.

Is this possible and if so could anyone point me in the right direction?

Make your site a Icy Phoenix site and it will be ready

Haha, well I want to keep my design so no can do

If anyone can help me integrate the chat like on the Icy Phoenix site that'd be great, then I can start work on skinning it.

What do you mean by "integrate"? Do you already have an AJAX Chat mod?

Try to search @ phpBB.com for a ready to use mod.

I have AJAX installed on my forums, but it's more of a chat program in a new window, I want it like on this site, where it's integrated within the style of the forum.

So you need help with the HTML part. Is your template a free one? You should ask to the mod or style author first, to check if they have already adapted the AJAX Chat to your template.

No it's a custom one that I bought, there isn't an ajax chat adaptation.

And the AJAX chat mod you are using is that free?

If the template is based upon proSilver or subSilver, I guess you can find instructions to integrate it.

Yeh the AJAX is free, and the template isn't based on anything its a custom template.

by the looks of it you're trying to work with blueimp's ajax chat, i m quite sure this has more options than only a new window ..for starters ..it also includes a shoutbox

this chat comes pretty well documented and i think you should read that carefully, but to point you in the right direction:

http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawi...box_integration

Hey thanks for the link,

I did as instructed and it is now in the format I want (shout box), however it is not quite the way I want it, right now it is in the bottem left, I could put it anywhere on the current page I guess with the '@import url("../../../chat/css/shoutbox.css");' however I would like it on a seperate linked page.

If you go to my site http://www.phalanx-legion.co.uk you'll see that I have a Chat link, and you'll also notice the shoutbox in the bottom left corner.

If you then look at www.icyphoenix.com it has a chat link, which brings a new page up which has the shoutbox integrated into it whilst keeping the 'structure' of the phpbb.

I am trying to make it so that when you click the chat link on my forums, it opens up a new page just like the icyphoenix site, a shoutbox which keeps the phpbb structure.

I hope this makes sense, and any help would be greatly appreciated.

havent you the chance to add a page through ACP.

then take an empty template page or create one , with the block/chat included.

works in icy, don´t know if this also does in PhpBB

I'm not seeing any options in the ACP to add a page, guess not

@import url("../../../chat/css/shoutbox.css is for in the stylesheet wich would make it work in more browsers then just explorer i guess  

right now your setup does not look ok crossbrowser ...i see a shoutbox with messages in explorer and in other browsers is see only the input line (where you write)

about what i think you want to do ...well there's multiple ways i guess ..using the chat or shoutbox

the next link is for info about creating extra pages as Spydie suggests:
http://www.phpbb.com/kb/article/add-a-new-custom-page-to-phpbb/

but really this topic is not related to any MG style and the chat you use is n t either, you should ask info at blueimp's site or the style author i think or maybe even phpbb.com

Ah ok, I will try that link, thanks.

The reason I posted here is because this site has the exact kinda setup I'm looking for in regards to the chat, so I figured someone would know
