User talk:Greenpickle/1: Difference between revisions

Hi Greenpickle. I'm looking into the AddHTML extension but it needs to be checked for security reasons. However, you can use [[mediawiki:common.js]] to embed IRC on a page. I suggest you talk to GreenReaper about that since he knows how this was done on his wiki. An alternative is to use the Wikia IRC. We can add a pikmin channel there if you like. It's easier since it doesn't require Java which many users don't have installed. [[User:Angela|Angela]]<staff /> ([[User talk:Angela|talk]]) 01:11, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

:Heya! You can see how we did this over at Creatures Wiki's chat page by looking at Common.js. Basically, we find a div and replace it with the HTML we want (as well as setting up an on-exit handler to stop users closing or going to another page by accident). Hope this helps. --[[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]]^{([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]])} 20:05, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

::Er, I can't seem to get it to work, not with the code there or modified code.  What I've put in Common.js is:

::And then putting <code><nowiki><div id="chat"></div></nowiki></code> on any page gives nothing.  I've purged my browser's cache.  It works when I put the code in an HTML file on my computer and open that, so I don't understand why it shouldn't work.  I'm thinking that there might be something wrong somewhere in that wiki's css and js pages, as no-one can seem to get collapsible tables to work either. - [[User:Greenpickle|Greenpickle]]_{[[User talk:Greenpickle|(talk)]]}
