Q: Hi, I got your wp-googletalk plugin on my website - there ist one ‘but’ - when Im offline plugin is also offline - why can’t somebody leave me a messege?

A: This is how Google decided it to work. The messages are anonymous - maybe because of this - or maybe because the message is handled not by pure Jabber/XMPP (IM) client, but the web extension which is started from the link sent to Jabber/XMPP client and the entire conversation is web based on both sides. Anyhow, offline messages are lost.

Q: Will the entire thing work with Google Apps for Domain

A: I don’t see a reason why not as long as you are logged in to Google’s instant messaging network, either via Jabber/XMPP protocol on talk.google.com port 5223, or through Google Mail web interface. If the assumption is correct for Google Apps for Domain, then I believe it would work.

Q: Im testing… Need signup for gmail for use this plugin?

A: You don’t need as a visitor, however if you need to put this onto your website then you have to have an account with Google Talk service.

Q: I have been asked twice about Google Apps for Domain. This is because noone read docs, including me.

If you’re using a Google Apps account, you can create a chatback badge by visiting http://www.google.com/talk/service/a/DOMAIN/badge/New where DOMAIN is the name of your domain.

Q: It is also possible to change basge’s widht and height. It’s quite obvious from just observing the copy/pasted code, still it’s worth mentioning. Width and height are there TWICE, in the iframe url and also in it’s attributes. Both have to be changed.

Q: Is this one with one chat or it can be many ppl inside one chat?

A: This instant messaging chat is one visitor and the one who hosts website (talkback badge owner). If there are 2+ visitors, the chat owner sees independent windows for every visitor, so vistors cant see each other.

Q: Is there any way for you to see who contacts you?

A: No, you are totally anonymous in the chat
