I can tell you how to have it run as a second hidden Chatbox on it's own page, but not in a specific forum.

For my main chat, I use Cyb's Chatbox (I don't know if this will work with others, but it should.)

Then, I utilized this Mod :https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...t=powered+page
Using the title 'staffchat' for everything.

I then pasted the

<!--{%SHOUTBOX%}-->

into the staffchat template & directed the Inferno shout to run only on the staffchat script.
Then I banned everyone but the staff from the Inferno shout. And Hid it from all but the staff as well.


I threw a link into the navbar like so:

   <if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 5, 6, 7)"> 
            <td class="vbmenu_control">
                <a href="staffchat.php" target="_blank">Staff Chat</a>
            </td>
   </if>

Voila! Hidden second Chatbox for your staff.
Even if your members happen to notice the Staffchat Link in 'Who's Online,' they won't be able to see the Chat itself, as it's hidden & they are banned from it.


I hope this works for you. If my instructions aren't clear enough, let me know.
