Modify Portal page

[Dragosvr92]

Hi SpaceAce, If you have the time, could you teach me how may i get my Navigation bar (thing with Board Index link etc) on the Portal page header?

also the chatbox there too ..

Why do you want a chat box on the portal? Would that not take away from getting folks to the index page? Just interested in your rational.

[Dragosvr92]

Id like to know how to do that. Spaceace did that on this forums also.

I have the chatbox on the portal too. It doesnt take away from the index at all as long as you have the view new posts and index links on there. Plus i have chat notifications for new topics so people are always clicking through there as they are chatting(my chatbox is used ALOT)

Makes sense, not sure that would work for my forum but I can see how it would work for others. Pretty sure Space can hook you up.

I'm sure spaceace can help with that

[Dragosvr92]

He sure can, he added it here lol
Id like it more to add the navigation bar on the portal page.... any idea how to ? O.o

[spaceace]

[Dragosvr92]

Ok, but the changes should be the same that you've done.my portal wasnt modifyed,at all.

[spaceace]

ok, here's what i did to put the chat on my portal page...

open portal.php

find

Code: Select all

$user->setup('mods/lang_portal');

add after

Code: Select all

include($phpbb_root_path . 'shout.' . $phpEx);

open styles/your style/template/portal/portal_center.html

find

Code: Select all

<!-- IF S_DISPLAY_WELCOME -->
	<!-- IF S_DISPLAY_WELCOME_GUEST and S_USER_LOGGED_IN -->
	<!-- ELSE -->
		<!-- INCLUDE portal/block/welcome.html -->
	<!-- ENDIF -->
<!-- ENDIF -->

add after

Code: Select all

<!-- INCLUDE chat_body.html -->

and that is all i did to add chat to my portal
