[sulasno]

newbie running phpBB 3.0.6

have installed autoMOD;

used it to install mChat;
but cannot see it in the group permission

have I missed something ?

You should see a new tab like the attached.

assuming you ran the mchat_install.php as the DIY instructions state.

DIY

1. Browse to the file mchat_install.php in the root of your forum to make the database changes.
2. Delete the mchat_install.php file from the root of your forum.
3. Make all edits to all files and upload them to your forum.
4. Refresh the styles in the ACP, set the settings for the Mini Chat under the ".MODS" tab.
5. Then visit user/group permissions and set the permissions for the Mini Chat for your groups/users.
6. Enjoy the Mod!!

===========================================================================================
1. I skipped since I used AutoMod to install mChat
2. I deleted the file
3. Do I need to edit the files?

(thanks for bearing with a newbie trying to install his second Mod)

This

Browse to the file mchat_install.php in the root of your forum to make the database changes.

Installs the permissions and mod within the .Mods tab. Upload the mchat_install.php file into the root of your forum and browse to it. That will complete the installation of the mod into the database.

thanks
have successful installed it and it's very cool

have tried to install it through the ACP to another style, but failed

[RMcGirr83]

Did you refresh that style after doing that?

[sulasno]

I did but it's still not working
but I can live with it

one new question;

how can I assign permissions to the moderator to delete the chat history ?

it seems that only the admin can delete the history

[RMcGirr83]

Actually only founders can purge the chats...but anyway

OPEN mchat.php

FIND

Code: Select all

$mchat_founder = ($user->data['user_type'] == USER_FOUNDER)

REPLACE WITH

Code: Select all

$mchat_founder = ($user->data['user_type'] == USER_FOUNDER || $auth->acl_getf_global('m_'))

see if that does what you are looking for
