Dynamic Channel in Widget

    Hi, I wish to use Wisechat in a sidebar. However, this sidebar is a php file that is present on all pages, hence I can’t insert a Wisechat widget for each individual page (or in this case, classroom) that I want to have.

    Is there a way to set the widget to generate a channel name based on the page ID it is loaded in? Say, a class on physics ,with the page ID ‘physics’. Could the widget then load the channel named physics just for that page?

    Thanks.

    Hi,

    You can insert Wise Chat using PHP function in your sidebar, for example:
    <?php if (function_exists('wise_chat')) { wise_chat('my-channel-name'); } ?>

    Instead of ‘my-channel-name’ you can use a PHP variable that is initialized with a page ID. Therefore you will have a separate channel for each WordPress page. You can also set a Custom Field for your pages to group them under common name (“physics” for example) and use that Custom Field as a channel in sidebar.

    Thanks

    Thanks, that suggestion set me on the right path, and I was able to find out how to get the ID of a page from there. It works!

    Thanks again.
