[HowTo] Add mChat on any page of your board

[kasimi]

I'm using this code in my Sticky Footer extension and I haven't heard of any issues. It's working fine for me, too.

If you tell me what exactly isn't working for you, I may be able to help you.

Hello,

How do I get the Mchat displayed on every page in the JV Arcade?

The author of the JV Arcade wrote that one should ask here.

Many Thanks.

Hi Markus,

the instructions in the first post should also work on the JV arcade. Did you follow them? Let me know if you run into any issues.

Thank you Kasimi for your feedback.

I do not know in which php file and in which template I have to insert something so that the mchat is displayed on all arcade pages.

Need your help please.

Thank you in advance.

Unfortunately I don't have that extension nor am I familiar with its structure or code. I'm afraid you need to talk to the author of JV arcade again. If he follows the steps in the first post he will very likely be able to help you.

If you want me to take a look at the JV Arcade code and integrate mChat on your board I would ask for a small donation. Feel free to send me a PM in that case.

Thank you Kasimi for your feedback.

I tested this on my forum, and works for JV Arcade.

Open: /ext/jv/arcade/inc/display.php
At the bottom on a new line add:

Code: Select all

global $phpbb_container, $user, $template;
if ($phpbb_container->has('dmzx.mchat.settings'))
{
    // We use the page_index() method to render mChat so we need
    // to enable mChat on the index page only for this request
    $user->data['user_mchat_index'] = 1;
    $phpbb_container->get('dmzx.mchat.settings')->set_cfg('mchat_index', 1, true);
    $phpbb_container->get('dmzx.mchat.core')->page_index();
    $template->assign_var('MCHAT_PAGE', 'mchat_on_arcade_page');
} 

Open: /ext/jv/arcade/styles/all/template/event/overall_header_content_before.html
Find: <!-- IF S_IN_PHPBB_ARCADE -->

Add above:

Code: Select all

<!-- IF MCHAT_PAGE == 'mchat_on_arcade_page' -->
   <!-- INCLUDE @dmzx_mchat/mchat_body.html -->
<!-- ENDIF -->

Thank you </ Solidjeuh> but if I make these changes, then I have the mchat on the forum page 2 times.

The Mchat is in the arcade, but if you edit his text, you will not see his text.

Only on the forum page one can edit his text.
