The Best way to make cometchat work with Gavick

In your Gavick Template go to:

...layouts/blocks/

You will need 2 files:
header.php
footer.php

(not head.php)

Open the header.php file, add your cometchat head code on the first 2 lines:

<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>jqcc=jQuery.noConflict(true);</script>

Open the footer.php file and again, go to the very bottom and paste the code you get when you install cometchat:
<!-- CometChat Footer Code Start -->
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" media="all" href="cometchat/cometchatcss.php" charset="utf-8" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="cometchat/cometchatjs.php" charset="utf-8"></script>
<!-- CometChat Footer Code End -->
</body>

Replace the 2 php files in your templates layouts/blocks folder and you're good to go!

I did this on Gavicks Quay Template and I just did it on the new PartyFreak Template.

Hey Gulp,
On the header.php paste your code above everything else without the "head" tag.

On the footer.php paste your code below everything else.

I've attached my header and footer files so you can see how I did it. I use gavicks templates a lot and it works the same on all of their templates (in my experience)

Reply back and let me know if it worked for you

Hey Ben,
In the Header.php file, add the code to the very first line.
In the Footer.php file, add the code to the very last line.

Make sure that the footer code is the one generated by the installation of cometchat. The header code is the same for everyone.

If you're using a pirated version, it will probably not work.

AND if you can't buy it, you can always try WIBIYA. Its free and its a lot easier to install. Just download their plugin, activate it and go to their website to add new features to the bar at the bottom of your page.

Try Wibiya here:

Hi My header and footer files do not look like yours in gamebox... Ive tried pasting the code at hte top of header.php and at the base of footer.php and whilst the chat bar appears it breaks the templates format of Jomsocial and displays all the avatars in one long row... ANYONE HAVE A COMETCHAT SOLUTION?

Hi

Please ask on comchat. They have solved it and posted the solution probably.

Hi no they haven't and nothing in their forum either.

Surely as there are many posts on here regarding this someone at gavick can post a proper and actual solution for this with step by step details

Hi

I have asked my coleque who was dealing with this problem before, maby He will have more information about this fix.
