The only way to put html code is via the ezportal box.


You'll have to enable ezportal on your site, and decide which 'box' (location) you wish your chat box to be on.


This is your ONLY option!

Make sure you disable the editor in the html box under ezportal settings then it should work normally.

Is it an editor box or just a text box you are entering it in.

Please use HTML block not text box. It won't really work when you use a textbox.

Confirm you have enabled EZBlock.


Admin > ezblock manager


Decide where you want your shoutbox to be located.


For my example, I'm going to show you how to make it appear at the top of your forums.


Scroll down to "TOP" - click Edit Column.  On this page, simply verify that 'enabled' is set to YES.  Click Edit Column to return.


Scroll down to "TOP" again, and it should show 'Enabled' in green.
Now click 'Add ezblock'


The default is an html block, so simply click 'Add ezblock'


At the top of this new screen, change the text in this box to reflect what you want the title of this block to be. (OR, at the bottom of the page click the box that say's 'hide titlebar')


On the left side of the editor, click the words "Hide TinyMCE Editor"


Now, in the block data box, copy your shoutbox contents here.


Click 'Add ezblock'


Your next decision is Visibility.  Where someone has to be in your forums to see the shoutbox. 


When done, select 'Save Visible Settings'


Your all set, click the Home button to reload you forums and your box should be working.


Good luck!
