Choose a Layout

AtomChat offers 2 Layouts
1. Docked Layout creates a floating chat widget at the bottom right/left corner of your website.
2. Embedded Layout embeds a chat interface inside any page of your website

And please remember!
AtomChat layouts are not designed to be used together on the same page. If you add both layouts on the same page, please expect erratic behavior from the software. 

6. Setting up the Docked Layout

As soon as you install the plugin, our Docked Layout is auto-activated for your convenience.

If you would like to manually add our Docked Layout to a particular page (using the WordPress content editor), then you can use the following shortcode:

[atomchat layout='docked']

7. Setting up the Embedded Layout

The Embedded Layout allows you to add AtomChat to any part of your site page.

Please add the following shortcode to any page of your site (using the WordPress content editor).

[atomchat layout='embedded' width='990' height='600']

8. Contact Sync 

Your users will be visible in the contact list once they login to your BuddyBoss website after AtomChat is installed.

You can also enable Guest chat for non-logged-in users. 

9. Secure AtomChat

Before you go live, paste your API Key and Auth Key in the AtomChat Plugin (in WordPress Admin Dashboard) -> Authentication Settings.

 

Sign in to your AtomChat Client Area and click on the Manage button.

Then navigate to Settings -> Authentication -> Security and enable Enable Auth Key Verification? and Enable Data Signature Validation?
