** Note to previous users of 1.0: ** This is essentially a new plugin. The old chat badge can be added to your sidebar by copy and pasting google's badge code into a normal text widget.
Using Google Talk, you can now simulate a professional live chat system on your website! This plugin allows further flexibility over Google Talk by allowing customizeable online/offline status badges, as well as wrapping the chat window in a smooth overlay effect, avoiding the need for ugly popups.
New features in 2.0:
- Multi-account fallback (when one goes offline, another available account will be used).
- Google Talk client is wrapped in a overlay widget.
- AJAX online status checking - visitors don't need to refresh the page when you come back online.
- Customizeable online and offline icons
- Customizeable link for offline clicks (e.g. your contact form)
- Template tag and shortcode available
- Online status caching for higher traffic volumes.
