Instructions:

  1. Register an account on the tigase.org website. For purposes of this guide let’s say the account name is: your-account. The Jabber ID will be: your-account@tigase.org.

    Note! There seems to be some confusion so let me clarify this. You create an account on the www.tigase.org website but your Jabber account domain is: tigase.org.

  2. Setup the Jabber/XMPP client of your choice to connect to the Tigase server in domain: tigase.org. Note you must allow plain text login. TLS is supported so the connection is secure and your password is still safe.
  3. There are a few ways for adding the client to the website but you always use startup parameters as URL query to the client link. Following parameters are possible:

    • jid=your-account@tigase.org tells the client who you want website visitors talk to. Normally you put your own account here.
    • name=YourName screen name (displayed name) of your account.
    • domain=tigase.org domain name you want Minichat to connect to. At the moment only tigase.org is allowed.
    • autologin=true determines whether the Minichat client automatically connects to the server when the page is loaded or waits for the visitor to click on the title bar.
    • The first way described is to put the client in exactly the same way as it is on the www.tigase.org website. The chat window is always visible but the client is not connected to the server until someone clicks on the Minichat title bar. Include in your page following code:
    <iframe
      src="http://minichat.tigase.org/MesComp.html?jid=your-account@tigase.org&name=YourName&domain=tigase.org"
      width="220px" height="250px" frameborder="0"></iframe>
    • Very similar to the first option. The only difference is that the client automatically connects to the server and is ready for chatting without need to click on the title bar. Include following code:

      <iframe
        src="http://minichat.tigase.org/MesComp.html?jid=your-account@tigase.org&name=YourName&domain=tigase.org&autologin=true"
        width="220px" height="250px" frameborder="0"></iframe>
    • The third option is the least intrusive but the most complex to install. It puts a small, clickable image with text on your page: Click to chat with…​. When the website visitor clicks a new window pops up with the Minichat which automatically connects to the server. You need to put some code in the web page header:

      <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"
        href="http://minichat.tigase.org/minichat.css"/>
      <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"
        href="http://minichat.tigase.org/mygwt-all.css" />

      And similar to other configurations code in the web page body:

      <iframe
        src="http://minichat.tigase.org/Runner.html?jid=your-account@tigase.org&name=YourName&domain=tigase.org"
        width="220px" height="250px" frameborder="0"></iframe>
