Mchat on Portal
Written by Stoker

Putting the mchat on the portal page is quite easy. You need to have the mchat mod installed.
Lets start with the template edits

Open styles/prosilver/template/simpleportal_body.html
Find:

Code: Select all

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%">

Before add:

Code: Select all

<!-- IF S_MCHAT_ENABLE and S_MCHAT_ON_INDEX and S_MCHAT_LOCATION --><!-- INCLUDE mchat_body.html --><!-- ENDIF -->

Find:

Code: Select all

</table>

After add:

Code: Select all

<!-- IF S_MCHAT_ENABLE and S_MCHAT_ON_INDEX and not S_MCHAT_LOCATION --><!-- INCLUDE mchat_body.html --><!-- ENDIF -->

Open portal.php
Find:

Code: Select all

page_header($user->lang['PORTAL_HEADLINE']);

Before add:

Code: Select all

// BEGIN mChat Mod
$mchat_installed = (!empty($config['mchat_version']) && !empty($config['mchat_enable'])) ? true : false;
if ($mchat_installed && $auth->acl_get('u_mchat_view'))
{
	if(!defined('MCHAT_INCLUDE') && $config['mchat_on_index'] && !empty($user->data['user_mchat_index']))
	{
		define('MCHAT_INCLUDE', true);
		$mchat_include_index = true;
		include($phpbb_root_path . 'mchat.' . $phpEx);
	}	

	if (!empty($config['mchat_stats_index']) && !empty($user->data['user_mchat_stats_index']))
	{
		if (!function_exists('mchat_users'))
		{
			include($phpbb_root_path . 'includes/functions_mchat.' . $phpEx);
		}
		// Add lang file
		$user->add_lang('mods/mchat_lang');
		// stats display
		$mchat_session_time = !empty($config_mchat['timeout']) ? $config_mchat['timeout'] : 3600;// you can change this number to a greater number for longer chat sessions
		$mchat_stats = mchat_users($mchat_session_time);
		$template->assign_vars(array(
			'MCHAT_INDEX_STATS'	=> true,
			'MCHAT_INDEX_USERS_COUNT'	=> $mchat_stats['mchat_users_count'],
			'MCHAT_INDEX_USERS_LIST'	=> $mchat_stats['online_userlist'],
			'L_MCHAT_ONLINE_EXPLAIN'	=> $mchat_stats['refresh_message'],	
		));
	}
}	
// END mChat Mod

Rich has created a hook for the mchat, only available for his donators.
If you are using that one, skip the portal.php edit and edit the hook instead.

Open includes/hooks/hook_mchat.php
Find:

Code: Select all

if($user->page['page'] == 'index.'.$phpEx)

Replace with:

Code: Select all

if(($user->page['page'] == 'index.'.$phpEx) || ($user->page['page'] == 'portal.'.$phpEx))

Code: Select all

// BEGIN mChat Mod
$mchat_installed = (!empty($config['mchat_on_index']) && !empty($config['mchat_enable'])) ? true : false;
if(!defined('MCHAT_INCLUDE') && $mchat_installed && $auth->acl_get('u_mchat_view') && $user->data['user_mchat_index'])
{
	define('MCHAT_INCLUDE', true);
	$mchat_include_index = true;
	include($phpbb_root_path . 'mchat.' . $phpEx);
}
// END mChat Mod

simply adding this to the portal.php wouldn't be enough to get mchat working? what's the benefit of the extra code and the other edit in the hook file?

It makes the mchat work on portal

Without it the mchat only will work on index.

I'm asking those questions , because I have mchat working only with the edit i posted above in the portal.php. (which are the same for the index.php page.

so it does work anyway. I thought there was some server load benefit or something with your edits.

The edit I have posted is for the latest mchat 1.3.5
Yours is an earlier version.
