XF 2.0 Does anyone know how to install a shout box on the main Xenforo page?

[Minamoto]

I would like to install a built-in shout box or chatroom on the main page, just above the forums. How would I do this or enable this feature?

You would need an add-on for that. I have both a Shoutbox and a Chat add-on if you are interested. They both can be placed above the forums and are easy to install.

That shoutbox add-on looks good. Can I adjust the color of the shoutbox to reflect my forum's dark theme? Can images be posted?

 

[Siropu]

The colors are based on the main XF style property so it should adjust based on your style. If not, I can add some custom style properties where you can adjust it accordingly.

As for images, it doesn't have an editor like my Chat where you can insert images so you would have to use the IMG bb code manually to display images.

I just uploaded the chat 2 file to root directory using FTP but don't see it. How do I install the chatroom onto its own page and then link it to a tab on the front page?

Or maybe I should upload the latest 2.0.15 version?
