Lesson 9.2: Publish Links to Active Chats

 
When adding or editing a posting on a web page or creating a page layout, participants or Web Site Administrators can insert links to active chat sessions previously scheduled using Web Site Manager. You can link to All chats (meaning all chats including the permanent general chat room), all scheduled chats, or individual chats.
 
Click the Edit Page Button.
Make sure you are logged in as the Web Site Administrator.

     
Click to Add a Posting.

     
Preview Layouts with Chat Options by selecting the "chat" layout set from the dropdown menu and clicking the preview button.

     
Click on a Chat Layout.
Select any chat layout based on what publishing features you want in the posting.

     
 

Name the Posting and Choose type of Chats to Publish.
You can have your published chat list link to any of the following:

  • All Active Chats
  • All Scheduled Chats
  • General Chat
  • A Specific Chat
 

     
Click the Continue Button at the bottom of the page.

     
View New Posting.
You will receive a message which says "Your posting was successfully submitted and approved for publication."

     
  [Note: Although you publish and format Smart Features such as chat in postings on any page, you add, edit, delete and manage their content globally via the Web Site Manager console].
     
Scroll to the bottom of the page and click the done button if you like the chat style and settings.

  View your newly published links to chat on the page. If you like the presentation of the links, click done. Otherwise, proceed to step nine.
