Can I create my own direct text link to a FastPath chat?

When I click the "On-Line Chat" graphic for one of my workgroups, a pop-up window opens at the following address:

 

http://mydomain:9090/webchat/userinfo.jsp?chatID=1sPbXb0yCl&workgroup=sales@mydo main

 

If I want to use a text link instead, can I just create a link that points to this:

 

http://mydomain:9090/webchat/userinfo.jsp?&workgroup=sales@mydomain

 

Will FastPath go ahead and create a chatID for this anyway? If not, can I use PHP or some other scripting language to randomly create my own chatID, and then make a link like this:

 

http://mydomain:9090/webchat/userinfo.jsp?chatID=[MyRandomChatID]&workgroup=sales@mydomain

I would backup the jivelive.jsp then edit the file.  it controls all those links.

Problem is, I have a need for both image and text links.

I would just like to be able to have a text link that opens a FastPath chat window, and I don't want to edit the .JS file.

 

The URL to a FastPath chat is very simple:

 

http://mydomain:9090/webchat/userinfo.jsp?chatID=1sPbXb0yCl&workgroup=sales@mydo main

 

It just seems to me that you should be able to generate your own chatID and create a direct link yourself without relying on the JavaScript to do it for you.

the problem is you need a random chat ID because that is what distiquishes the different anonymous chat sessions.  If you can find a way to randomize thta then you can creat what ever link you want.

Thanks, that's all I really needed to be sure of. It's super simple to create a random ID with JavaScript, PHP, etc...

Re: Can I create my own direct text link to a FastPath chat?

I put this code in my <head>

 

script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="http://*******.com/webchat/jivelive.jsp"/></script

 

Then used the onclick script for the "<a href=  tag"

 

a href="#" onclick="launchWin('framemain','http://*******.com/webchat/start.jsp?workgroup=support@workgroup.*********.com&l ocation=http://**********.com/page.html',500, 400);return false;">click to chat</a

 

I suppose as long as the script is in your <head> you can put the anchor link anywhere.  Works for me, hope this helps

 

**not sure how to get the text to recongnize presence**

 

ah well
