Shout Box
Acts as a interactive chat window similar to
Windows Messenger. Let your web visitors chat
amongst themselves.
For security reasons, the objects are only available via a Serif Web Resources
login accessible from within WebPlus. If you don't have a valid username and
password you must create a Web Resources account first.
If your email address is already known to Serif (maybe you've just
registered or have registered previously) you'll be asked for a limited
number of questions to completed account registration.
If you're new to Serif and unregistered you'll have to complete full
security as required. Full instructions are provided on login screens.
By the way, you may have come across Serif Web Resources if you've been
using WebPlus 10's forms functionality (see p.
172). The form submission
process allows form data to be emailed via Serif Web Resources to a specified
mail address. The same login can be used but a different area of Web
Resources is displayed if either forms or Smart Objects are to be used.
To create a Serif Web Resources account:
1. Click the
Smart Object Tool button on the Web Objects toolbar.
2. In the login dialog, click the Create Account link under the login boxes.
3. In the next dialog, enter your current email address and a password twice.
4. Click the Signup button.
5. An additional dialog, will ask for personal details, plus a few check boxes
if you would like to receive the Serif Community newsletter, Serif offers,
and/or other third-party offers.
6. A confirmation email will be sent to your email address. Click the link in
the email and you're ready to access Web Resources.
