Profile Enhancements - Meebo Chatin profile

First thanks to zoints for having meebo as one of there blocks and thanks to stangger5 for making the profile blocks for the mp3 player and for youtube. I did use his as a guide but the rest is all me.

What does this mod do? it adds a free chating system to your profile right side block. It can be added any where as a block in the MEMBERINFO template of your skin. Its free to use and is an alternative to an ajax chatbox. This adds a small embed of the standalone meebo chating system and whats even better is you dont even have to be logged on. You can add some info in the xml file just encase you wont to make it so your users can select the height and width of there meebo chating system do do so open the xml file scroll near the end and make another $userinfo[fielda] and $userinfo[fielda]. Replace the numbers in height="" with $userinfo[fielda] and replace the numbers in the width="" with $userinfo[fieldb] and make two more text box user profile fields and add there numbers there. when your naming them make sure to name them meebo chat height and meebo chat width and tell them to write down the height and width of the embed aswell. and there you go that wraps up the meebo in your profile mod.

make sure to follow the read me txt file included in the zip any questions please leave them here and i`ll answer them as soon as i can.

Enjoy

Your basic Meebo block, but still a nice addition to the site. Thanks for the plugin

Does this mean that anyone on AOL IM or Yahoo IM or any others that are used through Meebo can chat using this mod?

I installed the Yahoo Pingbox, but since we have lots of folks that are on AOL only (and they don't want to add Yahoo) it makes it difficult to have it as our only option.

Or, do you have to be signed up with Meebo to use this?

[Calash]

Looks like for the widget you have to be signed up with Meebo. The actual web client also allows you to use other IM services, but the widget only sends to the Meebo one.

Thanks for the info Calash. At least it's another option to use aside from the Yahoo Pingbox. I know of only a couple of my members using Meebo. But, we'll see.

For the visitor, they need nothing but to visit the page. On your end you have to have a Meebo account, then they show up as meeboguest and can chat with you.
