MeeboMe / meebo me Plugin for WordPress
Overview:
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:
- WordPress 1.5 or above
Installing
- Download MeeboMe Plugin.
- Extract the contents of
ald-meebome-plugin.ziptowp-content/plugins/folder. You should get a folder calledald-meebome. - Activate the Plugin in WP-Admin.
- 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.
- 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
embedtag. e.g. In<embed src="http://widget.meebo.com/mm.swf?vvjWAFUxUI"the ID isvvjWAFUxUI. - 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:
- 1.1.1 – Uploaded the plugin to WordPress Extend
- 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

Hey Ajay,
Quick question for ya’… can this be used as a regular plugin or is just simply a widget? If so, could you tell me what the code is for standard plugin usage? Thanks!
Hi Kelly,
It is a regular plugin. You can use it anywhere you want on your site using the code above.
It still doesn’t have WordPress Widget support. I will be adding that soon.
aloha, is there a way to display the plugin on a single page, rather than the loop?
Hi Brent, you can display the plugin absolutely anywhere in the theme.
It doesn’t need to be in the loop.
Is it possible to broadcast the chat session so that other visitors can view and join?
Hi James,
This feature is not offered by Meebo Me at point in time.
fantastic this plugin si really fantastic:
but I’ve a problem how can I have messages in output on my msn? and not in meebo page?
Unfortunately, you can’t do that. You have to be using Meebo.
