I am wanting a certain style but it does not include the chat button. Some styles do and some don't. Is there any way I can add one? Thanks

Eric

You mean for the fChat?

hovie · 02-02-2008, 05:14 AM

yes for the fchat

**Wild Cat** · 02-02-2008, 05:59 AM

well there's not much point to have the button unless you purchase the fChat............ if you have there should be some instructions for how to install it I think.

Have you bought the fChat? You can do so in your admin CP-> fSettings

hovie · 02-02-2008, 07:18 AM

yes i have bought the fchat.

**Wild Cat** · 02-02-2008, 07:47 AM

ok well I have never had an fChat on my forum neither did I try it so i am not sure if it will help you.

I can tell you how to add a link to your forum ........ on the top bar near Main Site and Rules and Regulations.
Guess you must have some URL to your fchat .........go to your

Admin CP -> Skin & Templates -> HTML templates -> Manage HTML -> Global HTML elements (skin_global.php) -> Board Header (logo, links, etc) (function BoardHeader) -> Edit Single

Code:

<!--IBF.BANNER-->
<div id='logostrip'>
  <a href='{ibf.script_url}' title='Board Home'><img src='http://url of your banner' alt='Powered by Invision Power Board' border="0" /></a>
</div>


<!-- IE6/Win TABLE FIX -->
<table  width="100%" cellspacing="6" id="submenu">
<tr>
 <td><a href='{ibf.vars.home_url}'>{ibf.vars.home_name}</a><!--IBF.RULES--></td>
 <td align="right">
   <img src="{ibf.vars.img_url}/atb_help.gif" border="0" alt="" />&nbsp;<a href='{ibf.script_url}act=Help'>{ibf.lang.tb_help}</a>
   &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="{ibf.vars.img_url}/atb_search.gif" border="0" alt="" />&nbsp;<a href='{ibf.script_url}act=Search&amp;f={$ibforums->input['f']}'>{ibf.lang.tb_search}</a>
   &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="{ibf.vars.img_url}/atb_members.gif" border="0" alt="" />&nbsp;<a href='{ibf.script_url}act=Members'>{ibf.lang.tb_mlist}</a>
   &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="{ibf.vars.img_url}/atb_calendar.gif" border="0" alt="" />&nbsp;<a href='{ibf.script_url}act=calendar'>{ibf.lang.tb_calendar}</a>
   <a href="http://url of your fChat">&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; fChat &nbsp;</a>
   <!--IBF.CHATLINK-->
   <!--IBF.TSLLINK-->
 </td>
</tr>
</table>
<% MEMBER BAR %>
<br />

<br />

The red bit is the whole bar with the links, the blue bit is the links that you have to add there...

If you want to place a picture there instead of a text link you have to do this code:

Code:


<a href='http://URL of your fChat' >&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<img src='http://URL of your image' />&nbsp; </a>

Hope it helps.... let me know how you get on.

If you want to add the link somewhere else let me know.
