Ajax chat 2.0.0b8 in portal block

Is it possible and how can i do it..

I know how to insert a flash thing in a block but.. not how to insert a .php chat

I actually started doing this, I'll get it finished up and I'll post it.

ok thanks

How's the progress

any status?

I did it! I did it!!!! Turned out to be pretty easy.

Turns out once you install everything, per the instructions,it works as advertised. Now to put it on your portal page, do the same steps, but this time the index page is now portal.php and the index_body is now portal_main. Hope that makes sense.

What do you think about exactly telling the instructions.

Edit.. Ahh you meaned portal_body??

Sorry, I posted that too quickly. I will re-trace my steps and post it here in an orderly set of steps. I ended up putting the chat_body into each style's directory and had to use the <--!INCLUDED Chat statement in the body of the portal. I will post later tonight with the files I had to move. Really is pretty simple.

ok, here we go...1st let me say that I am NOT a programer, I just tried things until it worked. So, I hold no responsibility for this. It worked for me....Now with it...

1...Installed the Ajax Chat box 2.0.0.b8
once installed do the following:
Assuming the forum directory is the root.
2...Open /portal.php
find: $user->setup('portal'); and after add $user->add_lang('mods/shout');
and

//-- mod : AJAX Chat ----------------------------------------------------
//-- add
include($phpbb_root_path . 'shout.' . $phpEx);
//-- fin mod : AJAX Chat ------------------------------------------------

3...Open styles/prosilver/template/portal/portal_body.html
Find: <!-- IF S_DISPLAY_WELCOME -->
<!-- INCLUDE portal/block/welcome.html -->
<!-- ENDIF -->

and add after <!-- INCLUDE chat_body.html -->

4...Now these files I had to copy here. For some reason there is a difference in directory location in the calling files...donno, I just copied the following files from the forum root directory
functions.php, functions_shoutbox.php, and constraints.php
to portal/includes directory.
5...Refresed the forum and wha laa! Shout box should be just below the welcome block on the portal page.

Well, it took me forever but I finally got it to look like SMARTORS Totally integrated Shoutbox. Check it out here:

I would be more than happy to trade my modded files to anyone who can tell me how to fix my implementation of this very nice phpbb3 portal in windows vista - looks great on xp in ie7 opera and firefox, but a little messed up in vista ie7 and opera (more so than here)
