Code to get old chat back here!

[Zarzing (Dustin)]

Many people ask how to get old chat back and I have just found a tuorial for it so it is below if you need any help let me know!

Step 1
Go to your network's manage page and select appearance. Then paste the following CSS code in to the Advanced CSS code box.

#xgDock { display:none !important;}

Step 2
Add a Text box to the wide column on your network's main page through the Features page (This hack sadly cannot work in a side column). Enable Ning's new chat feature here if it's currently disabled.

Step 3
Edit the content of the text box with the header being "Chat" or anything else you'd like, for the module's content use the following code:


That's all, your members will now have a simple module to chat from! This hack also works for a page, just paste the code below in a page created via the Tab Manager instead.

<div style="width:480px; margin: 0px auto;"><script type="text/javascript"> if (ning.CurrentProfile) { document.write('<iframe width="100%" height="490px" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" src="/chat/index/popOutWindow"</iframe>'); } else document.write("<a href='/main/authorization/signUp'>We're sorry, but you need to be signed in to chat. Click here to sign in.</a>"); </script></div>

Please Note: If you add this to a page it cover's up the edit and/or delete button's so in order to edit the page just add /edit to the end of the url.

This is either a joke or is missing the code on step 3..

The code is there!

Thanks Justin,

I would love to know more about your development to mimic the OLD CHAT, where you can put it on the right column and can see their actual chatting and who is chatting (thumbnails).

What I did to mine, is just copy the URL to the pop-up Chat Window and link it to a Tab...

Thank you and am anxious to see you break into this new Chat more....

I have, nothing!

I followed these instructions, but what happened was the code just embedded the NEW chat onto the page. Not the OLD chat. Did I do something wrong? Thoughts. Thanks.

Its the new chat in the old way yeah.... the old chat is GOoooONE, and good riddance I say. I actually like the new one better, but I think I may be alone in that sentiment.

Yes Thom,
This is the new chat but in the old chat way...I am sorry if I mislead people.
