Need a sidebox created with AIM or iChat notification

[jeffmic]

Has anyone created a sidebox with an iChat or AIM on/off status?
Or give me some instructions to do it?

I went to this website today and saw this and I'd like a sidebox to have it on my website.

The part I want is on the right: Chat with us....

Here is the 'source' I copied from the page:


<!-- iChat Notification -->
<div><a href="aim:goim?screenname=orbicule"><img src="http://big.oscar.aol.com/orbicule?on_url=http://www.orbicule.com/images/chatOnline.jpg&amp;off_url=http://www.orbicule.com/images/chatOffline.jpg" alt="Chat with us" width="200" height="53" border="0"></a></div><p></p>


I think this would be a great addition for all

thanks,

copy the code into a banner and place the banner in a sidebox.

You'll need to resize the image and change screenname=orbicule.

For iChat you'll have to source the correct code and image, maybe with the help of google.

The editable sidebox mod would also be a good place for the code.....

BUT, I have all this white space below the image that I cannot figure out how to get rid of. Can anyone help? (I cannot locate if it's a css "thing" or not

thanks,

Great idea to include live chat for help and support but AIM seems like a bad option to me. Hardly anyone uses it and if people don't have it installed already it's a real pain.

A much better option would be to install Help Centre Live or something similar on a subdomain and link to it from a sidebox. You can get it from sourceforge or if your host offers Fantastico you should be able to find it and auto-install it from your control panel.

Has anyone added this with success to their store?

I've been looking into LiveChat as well, but that's a java script...do I add that as a side banner as well?

I'm running Help Centre Live on a subdomain with the Help Centre Live Sidebox mod. Works like a charm.
