Always show chat in Etherpad Lite

There is a new feature in Etherpad Lite that allows the chat to always be set to the school.

A user can change it by passing a parameter or you can set it at hte server level.

To set it at the server level edit /static/custom/pad.js

Add

chat.stickToScreen(true);

To the costumStart function.

Job done 🙂 Hit f5 and admire your awesomeness.

  1. Hi John, thanks for your etherpad work! 
    What is the parameter to pass to set the sticky chat, rather than having it default at the server level?(as then the showChat=false no longer seems to have an effect, it also seems to override my custom chatbox sizing)thanks!
