No matter what combo/use of manual template edits what ever.
the MAIN place I want it tho is at the bottom of the 'New Posts' etc search pages

Any help would be appreciated.

You know that "apologies if this has been answered before" or "topic too long for me to read" may look good in a post, but for anyone who follows a topic, what we read is "I'm too lazy to do a proper search for what I want, help me out anyway"? Just a thought. Seeing waay too many posts in this forum lately where someone leads in that way, and I know for a fact that the answer is already here, if you bother to look.

Anyway. I'm bored so I'll reply this time. What you're asking for is actually one of the easier things to do with the add-on.

To make the ChatBox show up on every forum page:

• Open the control panel
• Options -> VSa ChatBox
• "Show ChatBox on pages" - this entry should be blank
• "Show ChatBox in templates" by default this includes "FORUMHOME" which should be sufficient. If you have problems with a specific custom page, you can add additional templates if necessary.
• "Position on page" - to have the ChatBox at the bottom of the page, the easiest way to do this would be set it to "Above Footer".
• Save changes

You can also mess around with more customized placements if you want to edit the templates yourself. If you want to keep it simple, this is how I'd do it.
