FCChat Drupal Installation

IndexStep One: Upload Files and Enable Module.


 
Please Note: FCChat is compatible with Drupal 5.x - 7.x.
It may not be compatible with other versions..

1) Download the Drupal module: fcchat.zip

2) Unzip the module and upload the fcchat folder to your drupal site. Place the fcchat folder in the sites/all/modules directory (or sites/default/modules, sites/MY-CURRENT-SITE/modules, etc.). You may have to create the modules directory first. DO NOT place the fcchat folder in the root modules directory.

3) If you are using a version of Drupal other than 6.x, you may need to edit the fcchat.info file, located in the fcchat folder. Open the fcchat.info file with a text editor and set the core parameter to the major version of drupal you are using. (ie. core = 7x)

4) On your web site, navigate to Administer -> Site Building -> Modules. Scroll down to the bottom of the page, and you should see the fcchat module. Enable the module by checking enable, and then hit the 'Save Configuration' button.

5) Next, navigate to Administer -> Site Building -> Blocks. Scroll down to the disabled blocks area of the page, and drag the FCChat module to the desired block. Click the 'Save Blocks' button. At this point, the FCChat widget should appear on your site in the area you specified.

Procede to the next step, Activating the chat.
