if I install this plugin where will I be able to place it without having to write code?
will I be able to have a dedicated page/tab which will show only this plugin? a page/tab right next to "member","forums","groups","shoutbox" ?
if I can't place it there, where will I be able to place it? again, without having to code anything.
thank you

and in short is like this: shoutbox is not a real plugin, it is a widget which is not very clear from its description and it is misleading the customers to believe they buy a plugin. they do not buy a plug in, they buy a widget. what this means? it means you can place it only on the dashboard or index page. if you want to place it on a different page (new page for example) you can't, you immediately will be asked to hire a developer. you'll not even get information on how to change the code (if you can code) to actually place it on a different page.
this is not nice. I foresee I will give them a pretty bad review :(
Also you do not know how the plugin works and claim that it is a widget and not a plugin. How the widget works then?
There is no separate page but you can place Shoutbox on the most common pages that support widget and change places as you wish without coding. You can place it on Index page, Dashboard, Groups page and it will be shown according to the group permission.
If you can code you will be able to place it anywhere, if not... well, you hire the developer.
I think you should know the difference between widget and plugin as a developer for oxwall platform.
this is not a plugin it is a widget and it should be clearly stipulated in the description.
because it is not it can lead people believe it is a plugin.
one should not have to ask before it decides to buy this widget. all the information needed to take the decision SHOULD be written in the description. otherwise, sorry to brake it to you, but it is misleading.
I do not make users to ask me. You can see a DEMO page and SCREENSHOTS before making a purchase.
If you are not satisfied with plugin please uninstall it I will give you refund and withdraw a license
N.B. if you lie to me and refund me and then take out the review I will buy again the so called plugin and publish my review again. be warned.
thank you
about plugin vs widget: you and/or oxwall should get your terminology straight and defined clearly what a widget is and what a plug in is, what one can and can't do, and what is the relationship between them. right now it is not clear and thus can lead to misleading situations like this one.
