Forum:Adding Chat into a normal page

Since I am making my first non-testing/fun/accident create wiki, I will need extra help. Does anyone know how to put a chat into a normal wiki page? Maybe not that but the CSS for a chat box? MyCool 64  My Official Wiki  Wiki II' 05:40, November 20, 2012 (UTC)


 * ^ Using the  tag
 * What about the chatting box itself? Like a twitter widget. MyCool  64  My Official Wiki  Wiki II' 08:52, November 20, 2012 (UTC)


 * I don't think it is possible to embed the Wikia chat on another page. HTML iframe does not load the page. --Callofduty4 (talk) 13:40, November 20, 2012 (UTC)


 * Do you think it would work, using something like:




 * Though i don't know if an tag would load HTML document, or even run all its scripts as the original page. PP-Sig-Code-1.svg ( PP-Sig-Code-2.svg ) 17:17, November 20, 2012 (UTC)


 * Embed is for embedding files like SWF. It will not embed a webpage. --Callofduty4 (talk) 18:56, November 20, 2012 (UTC)


 * That thing doesn't work, what about an extension that anyone know of that does that? MyCool  64  My Official Wiki  Wiki II 20:22, November 20, 2012 (UTC)

To clarify, what exactly are you trying to do with chat? Are you...
 * 1) Wanting to enable Wikia's chat box on the right sidebar?
 * 2) *Go to Special:WikiFeatures on your wiki and enable chat there. That will enable chat and it will show up in the sidebar on the right side of every page on your wiki. ->
 * 3) Wanting to put Wikia's chat box on a Wikia page, such as the main page of your wiki?
 * 4) *Use the  tag like I posted above.
 * 5) Wanting to put Wikia's chat box on a non-Wikia website, or put Wikia's chat in a non-standard location [any place other than 1) or 2) I just described] on a Wikia wiki.
 * 6) *As Callofduty4 said, this can't be done.
 * 7) Wanting to put a non-Wikia chat feature such as chatango on a Wikia wiki?
 * 8) *Can theoretically be done, similar to installing a Twitter widget... but I'd strongly recommend against this. With Wikia's chat feature, you can tell who is who. With a different chat feature, it's confusing for the community because you don't know which chatters are linked with which Wikia accounts for editing.


 * It is for a page, however I want the chat box itself with the chat messgaes itself. MyCool  64 My Official Wiki  Wiki II 10:08, November 21, 2012 (UTC)
