  3. Click on "Wrapper" and set select Yes for published. Then hit save
  4. Go to the menu where you would like to embed the chat and hit "new".
  5. Select Wrapper and set wrapper URL to http://widget.mibbit.com/?channel=%23channel&nick=nicknamehere

(note: there is nothing dynamic about the username check http://extensions.joomla.org/ for possible Joomla/Mibbit extensions)

  1. Hit Save and you're ready to go!

Here's an advanced method of using Mibbit with your Joomla site. In this example (see http://lovelineshows.com/index.php/listen-live-10-12-pst.html) it pulls the username of the person logged in to Joomla into an independent document, which provides the username or a default username if someone is not logged in. Finally, Joomla wrapper calls my independent file. Basically it's IFRAMES inside IFRAMES. A little confusing, but the application is great!
