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


Where to add the code? 

Edit your vBulletin template and add the below code anywhere before the closing tag:

<script>
var chat_appid = 'APP_ID';
var chat_auth = 'AUTH_KEY';
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"> 
    var chat_check; if(typeof(pageData)!="undefined"&&pageData.hasOwnProperty('userid')&&parseInt(pageData['userid'])!=0){
        chat_check = pageData['userid'];
    } else if(document.querySelectorAll('.username-container a')[0].length >0 && document.querySelectorAll('.username-container a')[0].attr('href').indexOf('/member/')>-1){ 
if(parseInt(document.querySelectorAll('.username-container a')[0].attr('href').split('/member/')[1].split('-')[0]!=0)){ 
chat_check = document.querySelectorAll('.username-container a')[0].attr('href').split('/member/')[1].split('-')[0]; } } 
if(typeof(chat_check) != 'undefined'){ 
var chat_id = chat_check; 
var chat_name =document.querySelectorAll('#lnkUsernameMenu img')[0].getAttribute('alt')||''; var chat_link = document.querySelectorAll('.username-container a')[0].getAttribute('href')||''; var chat_avatar = document.querySelectorAll('#lnkUsernameMenu img')[0].getAttribute('src')||''; 
if (chat_avatar != '') { 
var parser = document.createElement('a'); parser.href = chat_avatar; 
chat_avatar = parser.origin+parser.pathname+parser.search+parser.hash; } } 
</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>
NOTE:
Please replace the "APP_ID" and "AUTH_KEY" values in the code with your own Keys from your AtomChat Admin Panel -> API Keys
