[CLOSED]Open Chat Window via "a href" link? Karma: 0  
Hi,
I am using the JChatSocial module in my site's footer in the default configuration. I also want a separate link on my page, in the article text, to open the Live Chat window. Is this possible? Using a #anchor link maybe?

Code:
<a href = "#livechat">Link in article text here</a>
Thanks, -Nate

Hi,
no it's not possible. The chat is based on a complex javascript and jQuery app and a simple #anchor link can't handle this.
You would need a javascript integration in that #anchor link.

Best,
John

Hi John,

Can you share the required javascript snippet that would be required to make this work?

Or would we be talking about custom development...? If so can you PM a rough price.

Thanks,
-Nate

Hi Nate,

if you want to simply toggle the chat state open/close through a #anchor link you can use the following code for the integration:

Code:
<a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="jQuery('#jchat_userstab').trigger('click');">Toggle chat open/close</a>
If you need a more complex custom development you can PM me at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it Best, John
