Create Chat Page

[weasleytwinsmom]

I recently upgraded to V5 and was wondering if there was any way to create a chat page that would appear among the "home," "calendar," and "admin" buttons. I have already experimented with Shoutbox, but didn't like how it appeared at the bottom of the forum.

You can move it around the page, if that helps. Or put it on it's own custom page?

I would prefer to put it on its own custom page

Hey again weasleytwinsmom,

In version 4.5 we had an integrated 3rd party chat application called AddonChat available from the admin control panel that has since been replaced by our newly integrated shoutbox for moderation purposes, but you can still install AddonChat on a v5 forum if you don't like the shoutbox. AddonChat support has provided v5 users with a guide on how to do this, written for people who upgraded from a v4 forum with the chat enabled, but it's helpful if you want to install a new chat box too. Find this guide here. It will require an account registration with their service.

Once you've installed the chat onto your custom page, a link to the custom page can be added to your navigation bar by going to your admin panel, hovering over Settings, going to Forum Settings, and clicking on the Navigation tab.

Hello,
First I'd like to say I love V5, thank you for the wonderful upgrade.

My question is, how do I remove the Chat option from the menu bar where it says Home, Admin, Calendar...etc.?
