        • Hi Kos,

          Regarding the pop-out option. There is the way to implement such button. However there only one place which is suitable for it, as I think, would be the HTML box that you are using to embed the chat into the page. I have pasted it above the iframe itself for example on my test network.

          Here is the code, hope that you will find it useful:

          <p align="left"><img src="the link to the image of the button" style="width:25px;height:25px;" onclick="myFunction()"></p>
          <script type="text/javascript">function myFunction() {
          window.open("the link to the chat, that you have used in iframe", "_blank","width=780,height=800");
          }
          </script>

          Just paste the appropriate links and put this code before the iframe. Also if necessary you can adjust the size of button, window that would be opened etc.

          Best regards,

          Ning Team.

          • image of the button

            You lost me there.  What's that?

            • Hi there!

              Instead of "the link to the image of the button" you can put the link to the picture that would serve as the button to pop-out the chat, so once it's clicked the script would open the chat window in another window.

              Apologies for any misunderstandings.

              Best regards,

              Ning Team.

      • IMPORTANT UPDATE!

        If you are using the domain mapping it's necessary to use the custom domain name that you have in this link http://networkname.ning.com/main/chat/mobileChat instead of networkname.ning.com.

        Best regards,

    • Hi there!

      We do apologize for the inconveniences, the update of chat for 2.0 platform would be available a little bit later. at this point, we have to resolve some issues with the server load as the result of which it could be the delay in message sending.

      Best regards,

      Ning Team.
