Overview:

Chat with Meebo

Display your chat widget from meebo me. meebo me lets you chat with your site visitors using your Meebo account.

Features:

  • Generate perfectly valid XHTML code
  • Set Widget ID and Size from within WP-Admin

Requirements:

Installing

  1. Download MeeboMe Plugin.
  2. Extract the contents of ald-meebome-plugin.zip to wp-content/plugins/ folder. You should get a folder called ald-meebome.
  3. Activate the Plugin in WP-Admin.
  4. Goto Options > meebo me. If you are upgrading from an earlier version, it is recommended that you click Default Options so as to clean up any old options.
  5. Add<?php if (function_exists('echo_meebome')) echo_meebome(); ?> where you want to display the meebo me widget.

The Function:

echo_meebome()

The following options can be set through Options > meebo me:

  • Widget ID - This is the 10 character ID in src attribute of the embed tag. e.g. In <embed src="http://widget.meebo.com/mm.swf?vvjWAFUxUI" the ID is vvjWAFUxUI.
  • Size - Select the size of the Meebo Widget.

Customizing:

Add <?php if (function_exists('echo_meebome')) echo_meebome(); ?> where you want to display the chat widget.

Note: Using if (function_exists('echo_meebome')) in the above code ensures that your blog won’t break even if you deactivate the plugin.

 

I have also made available the function ald_meebome() which has a return value instead of a echo. You can use it as follows:

$str = ald_meebome();
echo $str;

Lastly, you can reset to default options by clicking on Default Options. I recommend you do this once during upgrade if you are upgrading from any older version as it will clean up old variables which the plugin used.

ChangeLog:

  • 1.1 - Minor bug fixed that caused a white box to be displayed in IE instead of the widget
  • 1.0 - Release

To Do:

  • Custom Size
  • WordPress Widget Support
  • Create Multiple Chat Widgets

Questions or Bugs

Known Bug

Wordpress 1.5 (Strayhorn) has a bug which prevents multiple plugins from creating administration interfaces at the same time. If you have another plugin which creates an administration panel under Options, temporarily disable it, configure meebo me Plugin, then re-enable the other plugin. Once configured, meebo me Plugin will operate normally.

If you have any questions or would like to report any bugs then please use the support forum.
