Title: Bottom Chat Window/Box
Post by: Pingshow on May 26, 2014, 10:34:38 PM

Hello,

I am trying to figure out how I can incorporate Mibew and create a bottom chat window/box widget. Something similar to what this site provides http://www.olark.com/
If you click on the link, you would notice on the bottom of the page there is a red box. If you click the red box, a send message/chat window will expand out.

I couldn't find anything on the forum or FAQ. I think someone tried to asked this once but his/her question wasn't clear at all.

If you want to replace separate chat window with an iframe (or a modal window, call it whatever you want), it was already discussed here: http://mibew.org/forums/index.php/topic,191497.msg197231.html

For now, we have such plans for Mibew Messenger 2.x (see our roadmap (http://mibew.org/roadmap#m2), point 16 in the appropriate chapter), but it will not be any soon.

I was trying to avoid using iframes, but I guess I have to do it this way.

Thank You!  :) :)

I believe that iframes is the only option to implement embed chat.

Only this way can guarantee that there will be no conflicts in JavaScript libraries and CSS styles. Also only this approach does not need completely rewrite Mibew chat system.
