If your forum already had AddonChat integrated via Live Chat Settings before updated to v5 then the process of making it compatible after the update is relatively easy.
1. From now on you'll need to login to your chat control panel at addoninteractive.com/ using the email address and password when registering the chat. The link is no longer a click away from your admin area after updating to v5.
2. Login to your chat account from the link provided in #1 then click the icon that takes you to your control panel. When the window opens to your control panel click the Home tab then the Chat Room Link Code sub-link.
3. From Select Your Link Preference: Chose Place on a Web Page (Embed) and copy that code.
4. Go to your v5 admin then hover over Structure then click Custom Pages.
5. You should have an existing page called Chat. Under Edit page click Chat then click the HTML tab.
6. You will need to delete the entire applet code that is in this HTML and replace it with the code from your chat control panel. You might also want to center the chat by placing <center> before the code and </center> after the code.
7. Edit the portion of this code that reads
{ iconsize: 0 }
and replace it with
{ iconsize: 0, autologin: true, username: proboards.data('user').username }
Then Save Changes.
Your chat should now be ready for use with your v5 ProBoards forum.
If you have one of our premium chats and you want some of your staff to be administrators register their forum user name (not display name) and assign them to an administrator user group in the chat control panel without a password.
For added security of your chat that it not be used anywhere else but your forum copy the exact URL where the chat is located then Enable the security URL from within your chat control panel (Settings/tab>>Site Integration/sub-link>>Security URL.
