# Adding PHP Chat

 * I’m trying to get [ShoutCloud](http://codecanyon.net/item/shoutcloud-flexible-phpajax-shoutboxchat/125018)
   to work with my site.
 * Now the [instructions](http://www.watconsult.com/watconsult/kotakeva/shout-box/Documentation.pdf)
   say that I have to do add this to my page
 *     ```
       <?php session_start(); ?>
       <?php include('shoutcloud.php'); ?>
       <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="shoutcloud/ShoutCloud-min.css" media="screen">
       <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4/jquery.min.js"></script>
       <script type="text/javascript" src="shoutcloud/ShoutCloud-min.js"></script>
       ```
   
 * I used this [plugin](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/allow-php-in-posts-and-pages/)
   to try to add it but it doesn’t work. Any help?

 * It looks like you are trying to add it to a post or page. I would instead try
   hard coding it into your template e.g. sidebar.php or page.php.

 * You would be best to do it on it’s own page and then use a page template to add
   the needed code that you have above.

 * So I add
 *     ```
       <?php session_start(); ?>
       <?php include('shoutcloud.php'); ?>
       ```
   
 * to the page.php template and add
 *     ```
       <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="shoutcloud/ShoutCloud-min.css" media="screen">
       <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4/jquery.min.js"></script>
       <script type="text/javascript" src="shoutcloud/ShoutCloud-min.js"></script>
       ```
   
 * to the page?

 * A link to the page would be useful in seeing what exactly you mean by “isn’t 
   displaying correctly”.

 * Okay, it is due to where you place the code. If you are allowed, can you post
   the whole template file you edited and I will replace it to where it is meant
   to go in that file.

 * Oh, by the way, this is [another one I did](http://serv.x10.bz/chat-2-2/). This
   one looks more like what it is supposed to look like, however, it still doesn’t
   function correctly…
    I checked the smilies and the path they are looking for;
   it is like /page/shoutcloud/smilies/bla but since wordpress makes dynamic pages,
   it isn’t able to be put where it wants to.
 * I used a custom template because I didn’t want to destroy the main pages. It 
   is basically a direct copy of the page.php
 * Anyway, I have pasted [everything here on pastebin](http://pastebin.com/BQ5Jq87y).

 * Did you include all of shoutcloud files in the template folder?
 * Reason I ask is we may need to change how the include bit works and edit the 
   file a bit to point to the correct location for the images as you pointed out.

 * The template folder? I put a copy of the folder in the main directory and also
   another copy in the theme folder…
 * Also, the images was just an example; all the stuff that is needed is in the 
   shoutcloud folder which it can’t find.

   I will post how I did it for you.
