   I'm trying to put a shoutbox in my sidebar, but I can't seem to find any plugin that doesn't make it a widget. I personally don't want a widget as that overrides the current information in my sidebar.php. Can anyone point me to a plugin that allows me to use/style a shoutbox without it being a widget?

   You can edit the actual sidebar.php yourself and just cut and paste the information.

   an example of one of my sidebars code

   <div id="meta">
   	  <h2><img src="wp-content/themes/Citadel/images/icon/arrowdown.gif" alt="Citadel's Arrow Control Toggle" />Community</h2>
         <ul>
             <?php wp_register(); ?>
   		  <li class="mlogin"><?php wp_loginout(); ?></li>
           </ul>
   	  </div>

   I know how to edit the .php files, I just don't know what (or if) there is specific code that I can place in there that will give me a shoutbox (like I can do for the drop down menus I'm using).

   I tried the wp-wall plugin, but that is the widget and I don't want a widget. I don't know how to 'snag' code from a widget (which php file to take code from and if that'd work or not in this case).
