Installing a chatango chatbox, News boxes, etc..?

[NalaRoxy]

Hello! Well, I desperately want a Chatango Chatbox. Also, I'd like the show my affiliates, news etc... Like this site does on its left hand side:http://www.kimbiav2.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=hangout
But what codes do they take? Where do I enter them? Thanks, -Nala.

You simply have to write a html table code that you then put in your main footers. You add the affiliate image codes from other forums in to the affiliate table and with regards to the chatbox you just have to code and paste the chatango code they give you in to the table.

<table><tr><td class="titlebg" colspan="2">AFFILIATES</td></tr>
<td class="windowbg" width="80%">YOUR AFFILIATES IN HERE</td><td width="20%" class="windowbg">YOUR OWN AFFILIATE IMAGE IN HERE</td></tr></table>
<br><br>
<table><tr><td class="titlebg" colspan="2">CHATBOX</td></tr>
<td class="windowbg" width="30%">CHATBOX RULES HERE</td><td width="70%" class="windowbg">CHATBOX CODE IN HERE</td></tr></table>

That's a basic skeleton template for you to use

Thank you so much! Now, by any chance would you know how to align the CB and News etc. with the boards and categories like they do in that link?

[JD]

Sure, but you need to post a link to your forum so we can see the table in action.

[NalaRoxy]

ALright... But don't laugh, it's empty because I'm mainly working on its looks for the moment: contrast.boards.net

[JD]

Okay I see the chatango but it's not inside the code I gave you. Where is the code?

[NalaRoxy]

My apologies. Should be there now.

Just add the blue to the table tag:

<table align="center"><tr><td class="titlebg" colspan="2">CHATBOX</td></tr>

[JD]

Okay to align it, simply put <center> CODE IN HERE </center> around the code. Then to make it the right size do this -

<td class="titlebg" width="Xpx" colspan="2">CHATBOX</td></tr>

Make the capital X the number of pixels wide your forum is. Keep the px in place.

I knew how to center it, but I mean put it how that link was in my top post, where the boards and CB are right and left. =) If you can't do this it's fine.

[JD]

I don't know what you're talking about, I'm sorry. In the link you gave the chatbox is under the boards, not beside them :S

[NalaRoxy]

OK. And I meant the news on that site =3 Thank you for all the help! You've been wonderful!

[Tumbleweed]

Maybe JD will understand but I'm not sure I do so to save time, do you mean some side tables like that site has with not only News, but Plot and Staff, etc. If so, this is the code you want:

support.proboards.com/thread/259216

If not, maybe get a bit more descriptive?

[NalaRoxy]

That's it! Thank you!

I hope I will still get a response here, I see this is a bit old though. How do I make it so it is not transparent? On my site it is working, just there is not color to it at all so it just looks like text and a chatango floating on my background. If someone could maybe help me I'd be extremely greatful! ^_^
