CHAT Module was created by baboucarr Jobe

Now one problem. I wanted to add Radiojar's chat module to the site, and needed some help. How can I get about doing this? It would've been wonderful to add this to the template. Perhaps on an update of the template :) Here is what am referring to www.radiojar.com/g/api-widgets-chat/

I do not think an update is needed. You can publish a custom code module (K2 Tools or custom HTML) in the RadioWave_Component position.

You can also let me know if you want to add it to the popup player as well.

Yes I do want to add it to the popup player too please. But what are the steps I need to get both done? Am not a developer, but can follow directions well. Thanks sooo much.

For the module just add a K2Tools module in the aforementioned position (RadioWave_Component).
The menu type can be an empty com_content menu if you do not want any content to show up.

The chat's code is provided and directions from Radiojar.
You can use their jsfiddle link as a guide.

For the popup use this file. Simply replace the same one in the root folder of your template.
The chat should be 630px in width and about 280 pixels in width.

Do not forget to publish the module in the "RadioWave_Popup_Chat" position.

As always I am attaching a zip file so extract before uploading to get the actual php file.

Thanks for the file you sent, I uploaded it and that did add a chat link on the popup window, but one problem; The template didn't come with the "RadioWave_Popup_Chat" position you instructed me to publish on. It is not listed on the modules position list.

Secondly, the jsfiddle instructions weren't clear enough. Please remember am not a developer. When I create a module what exactly do i do with it, there are two sets of codes provide by radiojar, which goes where?
Stepped Details, and not a summary of steps could perhaps work out for us both. Screenshots are the best:) cause someone else will soon need this kind of help, but can see screenshots and follow them. Am not sure if your time permits such? :)

You can always type a module position in the list manually ;)
No need to put it in the xml file.

Now as for the instructions.
Publish a new Custom HTML or K2 Tools module (it's up to you to choose which one) and paste this snippet inside it.

Personally I prefer the K2 Tools module because it will never add any "trash code".

<script>//<![CDATA[ 
window.onload=function(){
 rjq('#rjp-chat').radiojar('chatProvider', {
                        streamname: "u0510s7hb",
						width: 400,
						height:200,
						frameborder:false, 
						scrolling:"auto",
						cssfile:""
                    });
}//]]>  

</script>
<div id="rjp-chat">
</div>

couldn't you just add the code for the chat to the actual banner so it will show the chat rather then banner

Yes you can do that as well.

Do not forget to change the dimensions of the chat widget to match these of the banner.

<script>//<![CDATA[ 
window.onload=function(){
 rjq('#rjp-chat').radiojar('chatProvider', {
                        streamname: "u0510s7hb",
						width: 300,
						height: 250,
						frameborder:false, 
						scrolling:"auto",
						cssfile:""
                    });
}//]]>

and paste the code in that php file.
It can be done but you cannot edit it from the module itself.
This code has to be pasted in the popup file (popup.php).

I think using a module is quicker and more efficient.

You can move them above the tabs quite easily.

Open the popup.php file and locate the following block of code

<!-- Social -->
              <?php if(count($social)): ?>
              <div class="socialMenu">
              <h4><?php echo JText::_('NU_SHARING'); ?></h4>
              <ul>
                <?php foreach($social as $provider): ?>
                <li>
                  <a class="linkIs-<?php echo $provider->class; ?>" target="_blank" href="<?php echo $provider->url; ?>">
                    <span><?php echo $provider->name; ?></span>
                  </a>
                </li>
                <?php endforeach; ?>
              </ul>
              </div>
              <?php endif; ?>

lines 67 - 81
Cut them and paste them directly under the opening section tag

<section id="content">

line 52
