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.

4. Setting up the Docked Layout

NOTE:
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>
<script>
  (function() {
    if(window.location.href.indexOf("banned") == -1 && window.location.href.indexOf("pending") == -1) {
        if (typeof ning != 'undefined' && typeof ning.CurrentProfile != 'undefined' && ning.CurrentProfile !='null'){
            chat_id = ning.CurrentProfile.id;
            chat_name = ning.CurrentProfile.fullName;
            chat_avatar = ning.CurrentProfile.photoUrl;
            chat_link = ning.CurrentProfile.profileUrl;
        }
    }
  })();    
</script>
<script>
(function() {
    var 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);
    var chat_js = document.createElement('script'); chat_js.type = 'text/javascript'; chat_js.src = 'https://fast.cometondemand.net/'+chat_appid+'x_xchat.js'; var chat_script = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; chat_script.parentNode.insertBefore(chat_js, chat_script);
})();
</script>
