Placing the Rocket Chat block on a page

Question

I'm trying to include a Drupal 8 Rocket Chat plugin module in my website. I installed the plugin module, set up a chat server, but I'm failing, of all places, at actually placing the block on a page (/chat). How do I do that? I'm completely new to Drupal.

Answer 1

• install the livechat module and rocket_chat module.
• Setup the rocket_chat module.
• Go to [Structure][Block layout]. there you can place the livechat block using the "Place block" button. This works as a normal block we recommend you add it to a footer or alike for performance.

_{Source: Rocket chat module README.md}

In other words, go to /admin/structure/block find the Footer region and click on Place block search for "RocketChat Livechat" and click Place block.

Answer 2

You seem to want the block on a specific page rather than all pages, so to build on No Sssweat's answer:

• Create a content page (of type "Static") and give it the chat path.
• In the block layout settings for the block you just placed, find the visibility options (see the screenshot in this question: How can I show a block in a view page, excluding its paginated pages?) and set it to be shown only on chat.
