Thanks Marc for posting this.
I had recently lost my hosting and all the files for my forum went with it. So I'm starting from scratch and forget some of the edits that made things work the way had it.
This helps alot.

how would i apply my portal style to this block, below is the code for a blank center, but i just dont know where to add this in the mchat_body or what to take out.

Code: Select all

<!--version $Id: custom_center.html 521 2009-08-26 20:59:19Z christian_n $ //-->
{$C_BLOCK_H_L}<dt>{PORTAL_CUSTOM_CENTER_HEADLINE}</dt>{$C_BLOCK_H_R}
<div class="panel bg1" style="margin-bottom: 0px">
	<div class="inner"><span class="portal-corners-top-inner"></span>
		<div class="postbody" style="width: 100%">
			<div class="content">{PORTAL_CUSTOM_CENTER_CODE}</div>
		</div>
	<span class="portal-corners-bottom-inner"></span></div>
</div>
{$C_BLOCK_F_L}{$C_BLOCK_F_R}

thanks

What should be done if i don't have this file? portal/includes/portalview.php?

In portal/includes/ i see only 3 files
1. functions.php
2. functions_version_check.php
3. index.html

[Marc]

That's why it says portalview changes. You only have to do this edit if you have Portalview installed. If you don't have that file, you probably don't have Portalview installed.

One more things i don't have portalview.php on portal/includes directory is it normal ?
i create that file and edit with php code.

[Marc]

That's why it says portalview changes. You only have to do this edit if you have Portalview installed. If you don't have that file, you probably don't have Portalview installed.

[Sortilege]

i'll do what it need to install it

Where can i find it please ?
Thanx a lot

[Marc]

If you only have Board3 Portal installed, you do not need to do the changes for Portalview.
