I could swear this was a topic but I could not find one so...

Is there a way to create additional pages "like" the FAQ where you can put your own content? What I would like to do is actually place my chat room within the forum. I have created a page for my chat room and placed my chat within an iframe but it is a separate page from the forum which is a little clunky to me. If I could say, clone the FAQ page and change the content to display my chat iframe it would have a completely integrated feel and look perfect.

I did this, not for chat though. Using the FAQ which takes 3 files one in the languages, one in templates and one in scripts. Grab the faq.php, faq.tpl, faq.inc.php. Rename them to something like chat.php, chat.tpl and chat.inc.php and put your new content in there.

Are you looking for something similar to this page? This uses iframe tag. Just click Submit without filling in the form to get an idea of how it works.

You need to create 2 files. As an example we'll call it chat.

--------------------------------------------------------------

In your scripts directory copy sample.inc.php, rename it chat.inc.php and edit the following lines:

33. Change page_sample_gpc to page_chat_gpc
59. Change page_sample_run to page_chat_run
79. Change PAGE TITLE to Chat (or whatever page title you want)
86. After <<<BREADCRUMB press enter to drop to a new line and type Chat (line 87)
93. Change sample to chat (this is what your template will be called in the next stage)

--------------------------------------------------------------

Next, go to your template directory, create a new template called chat.tpl and do something similar to this:

You'll obviously have to change the src="/chat.php" to your own details.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Once you have done that, you can edit the language file so that it will show who is using that page on Who's Online.

CP > Display Options > Languages > Language Editor > Choose Specific Language File: online.php > Go

Then add:
Key - chat
String - Viewing the Chat page

Forgot - you call the page like this:

Yes, that is exactly what I thought could be done, I was just not 100% sure how to do it but it looks like I was on the right track.

THANK YOU!!!

There is a file called "sample" in the script/template directories to get you started; I generally recommend people grab my pJIRC mod at UBBDev and tear it apart as I had already had to discover how everything works while making that

Technically, you could also tuck your PhotoPost page in an iframe too?

ScriprKeeper - EXCELLENT instructions!!! That is AWESOME!!!

Looks good. You just need to add the extra details to the language files to finish it off. If you go to your chat page then go directly to your online page it shows a blank in the location field.

Just add the lines below to the online.php language file and it will then display the location as chat rather than blank.

Remember to be sure to do this every time you upgrade your message board to a newer version.
