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

Paste the code below right before the closing tag of every page where you

want AtomChat to appear.

Ideally, you can add this code to your website's footer template.

<script>
  var chat_appid = 'APP_ID';
  var chat_auth = 'AUTH_KEY';
    var chat_id = 'USER_UID';
    var chat_name = 'USER_NAME';
    var chat_avatar = 'USER_AVATAR';
    var chat_link = 'USER_PROFILELINK';
</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
