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. 


Please note: The following instructions are for Drupal 7. For Drupal 8 and 9, please scroll down!

Please replace the "APP_ID" and "AUTH_KEY" values in the code with your own Keys from your AtomChat Admin Panel -> API Keys



<script>
var chat_appid = 'APP_ID';
var chat_auth = 'AUTH_KEY';
</script>
<?php
      global $user;
      global $base_url;
      global $relationships;  

      $request = array();
      if (function_exists('user_relationships_load')) {
        $requests = user_relationships_load($param = array("approved" => 1, "user" => $user->uid), $options = array(), $reset = FALSE);
      }

      $friendIdValuesArr = array();
      $friendIdValues = "";
      foreach($requests AS $value) {
        $friendIdValuesArr[] = $value->requestee_id;
      }
      if(!empty($friendIdValuesArr)) {
        $friendIdValues = implode(",",$friendIdValuesArr);
      }

For Drupal 8 and 9

1. Go to your theme -> active theme -> your_theme.theme file and paste the function at the bottom of the file


/* Get user deatils for AtomChat */
function handicraft_zymphonies_theme_preprocess_html(&$variables) {
  $user = \Drupal\user\Entity\User::load(\Drupal::currentUser()->id());
  if ($user->hasField('user_picture') && !$user->user_picture->isEmpty()) {
    $displayImg = file_create_url($user->user_picture->entity->getFileUri());
    $variables['displayImg'] = $displayImg;
  }
  $roles = $user->getRoles();
  $variables['roles'] = $roles[1];
}


2. Go to your active themes html.html.twig. It will be found in themes -> Active theme name -> templates -> layout -> html.html.twig


Paste the code before </body>


<script>
var chat_appid = 'APP_ID';
var chat_auth = 'Auth_Key';
</script>
{% if logged_in %}
<script>
  window.chat_name = "{{ user.displayname }}";
  window.chat_id = "{{ user.id }}";
  window.chat_avatar = "{{ displayImg }}";
  window.chat_link = "{{ path('entity.user.canonical', {'user': user.id}, {}) }}";
  window.chat_role = "{{ roles }}";
</script>
{% endif %}
<script> 
(function() {
    window. chat_css = document.createElement('link'); chat_css.rel = 'stylesheet'; chat_css.type = 'text/css'; chat_css.href = 'https://fast.cometondemand.net/'+chat_appid+'x_xchat.css';
    document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0].appendChild(chat_css);
    window. chat_js = document.createElement('script'); chat_js.type = 'text/javascript'; chat_js.src = 'https://fast.cometondemand.net/'+chat_appid+'x_xchat.js'; window. chat_script = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; chat_script.parentNode.insertBefore(chat_js, chat_script);
})();
</script>
