I tried inserting <!-- INCLUDE mchat_body.html --> in portal_center.html, but it doesn't work. Any idea on this?

What modded version are you using? The 1.06 version can put the Mchat in the indexpage from the ACP.
On the 1.05 version, you have to do some modding. I think the code is somewhere inhere..

I'm using version 1.06. Yeah, I noticed that index option in ACP. It's enabled but still the shoutbox is displayed in the forum's index only. Not on the portal's page. Any modding you can suggest?

hey mgb67...that was a nice tip. i modded around, and could get the mini-chat block on the front page...but it displays the following message:
Sorry, the Mini-Chat is currently unavailable
I guess i'm not very far from solving that. Any idea why it's showing me this buddy?

try this!
open portal.php
find:
Code: Select all
// output page
page_header($user->lang['PORTAL']);
before add:
Code: Select all
// BEGIN mChat Mod
if(!defined('MCHAT_INCLUDE') && $config['mchat_on_index'] && $config['mchat_enable'] && $auth->acl_get('u_mchat_view'))
{
define('MCHAT_INCLUDE', true);
$mchat_include_index = true;
include($phpbb_root_path.'mchat.'.$phpEx);
}
// END mChat Mod
open: prosilver/template/portal/portal_center.html
find:
Code: Select all
<!-- IF S_DISPLAY_WORDGRAPH -->
<!-- INCLUDE portal/block/wordgraph.html -->
<!-- ENDIF -->
after add:
save, upload, refresh and purge style!

Oops! When not logged in, the shoutbox block shows:
{ MCHAT_TITLE }
{ MCHAT_ENABLE }
Any piece of code to solve that buddy?

i might of forgotten the lang files,
try this open portal.php
find:
replace with:
Code: Select all
$user->setup('mods/lang_portal', 'mods/mchat_lang');
see if that works!

Nah... The last edit u've suggested, I've removed... Because it doesn't load the portal.php page, it only shows the SQL error...
Wait... I'll put it there again for a while...
