Adding Videochat to your website
First of all, you should decide how you want the chat to appear on your web site - in a popup window or as a part of the page. We recommend using popup mode; however it is your choice.
Popup mode
To make the video chat open in a popup window when a user clicks a site link, you should setup the link in the following way:
<a href="javascript:openVideochatWindow('RoomID','UID','LanguageID');">Open Chat</a>
|
Parameters RoomID, UID and LanguageID are optional and will be described further.
Also, you should add the following string to the header section of the html page:
<script language="JavaScript" src="http://www.yoursite.com/flashcoms/common/js/flashcoms.js">
</script>
|
Embedded mode
To incorporate the chat in an html page you should paste the following html code at the relevant place of your page:
<div id="flashcoms_lnk" style="text-align:center; height:20px">
<strong><font color=#5a6678><a href=http://www.flashcoms.com/ target=_blank>Flash Chat - The new feel of communication</a></font></strong>
</div>
<div id="videochat_swf" style="width:100%; height:100%;">
<p><strong>Videochat</strong></p>
<p>You need to upgrade your Flash Player.</p><p>Version 8 or higher is required.</p>download from <a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer">http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer</a>
</div>
