Hi, I am new to elgg, and need help. I would like to add Envolve chat to my site (not live yet), and it has a code to add to the <head>. Some sites already have plugins for it, but I cant find one here. It is a nice chat service, which is free up to 20+ simultaneous chatters then has paid. It is a private one on one chat with multi chat too. I need the private chat. I do not wish for a chat room-that is the only thing available here for elgg 1.8.2 that I found. I am not a coder or programmer, and wondering if this is possible? I do not know where to find the <head> on elgg. It is difficult. Anyway, I thank you in advance. My email is mistycorners@gmail.com.

You must log in to post replies.Mikailah : Extending elgg's header is a simple thing anybody can do. If you dont need a chat room, but a one to one chat, try the 1.3.181 version of freichat available here @ http://community.elgg.org/pg/plugins/release/798851/developer/webgalli/freichat-integration-for-elgg-18
envolve ? thats a new one ! i heard wordpress have got their plugin for this ;-) why don't we ??
Just reading their docs blurb - they also can hook up to your user IDs ! hmm.. but still.. I prefer to stick with known Elgg Chats or -- finish development of the other 2 new chats (got the 'nothing better to do' mentality ?!) i've been working on.. for a while... fun stuff esp one of those = 'BlabberChat' !? lolz ;-oO
I like envolve, it even does translations and you can change the skin to match your site. If you sign in to my wordpress site, you can try it out or go to envolve and try it out. I just didnt know where to find the <head> as it seems like a simple script, but I have no clue where to find that here. So new to elgg. It loads as the bottom bar on the site. Looks pretty good too. But, I will check out frei chat, I couldnt get the last one to work. Thank you everyone. Oh it does not weigh the site down either and you can set it to just logged in users or open too.
Here's some screenshot peeks at the new chats I've been working on for my kids @FBFK - Of course there was some code work to integrate the Elgg User IDs & Names and to pull in the Elgg avatars for the Chat Window :=
That is very beautiful work, oh my. I sure do admire the knowledge you have. I did get the frei chat to work.
For envolve, it is like a toolbar that sits across the bottom of the site, like in Facebook chat. Just not sure where to place that code.
Guys anybody who needs envolve plugin can contact me koch.bidyut.koch@gmail.com i used this plug on my site enggbook.com just send me an email if you are interested..
