Mchat with Messenger Function
Written by Stoker

Here on this board I have modified the Mchat with a messenger function.
This means that you can jump to a new line using the keyboard combination SHIFT + ENTER, like when chatting on messenger.

Open mchat_body.html
Find:

Code: Select all

var mChatFocusFix = true;

Add after:

Code: Select all

function foo(e) {
    if (!e.shiftKey && e.keyCode==13) {
        mChat.add();
        if (e.preventDefault) e.preventDefault();
        if (e.stopPropagation) e.stopPropagation();
        e.cancelBubble = true;
        e.returnValue = false;
    }
}

Find:

Code: Select all

<input type="text" tabindex="1" name="message" class="mChatText" id="mChatMessage" />

Replace with:

Code: Select all

<textarea tabindex="1" onkeydown="foo(event)" name="message" id="mChatMessage" class="mChatText"></textarea><br />

Open mchat/mchat_prosilver.css
Find:

Code: Select all

input.mChatText

Replace with:

Code: Select all

textarea.mChatText

Find:

Code: Select all

input.mChatText:hover

Replace with:

Code: Select all

textarea.mChatText:hover

Thats it, upload the changed file and refresh the template.

do you know how to modify mchat, to show more smileys? (add button, to show more smileys.)
