Help with a prophpbb forum

[HawkPokemon]

I need help with my prophpbb Forum. I want to add a chatango chat to my Forum but I don't know where in the Admin Panel do I have to put the code. Can anyone help me?

I'm not sure you can do major codes like that on a ProPHPBB ran forum. Are you using their free hosted services or advanced hosting?

 

[HawkPokemon]

The free services.

The free services.

Hmmm, if you're using the free services then I don't think there's a whole lot you can do there. Otherwise I'd probably ask at the support forum for that one.

You can put code in you footer. When you are in your ACP go to footer code (The link is one the first under Board configuration) and put your code in there.

Yeah, but can you do big codes like what he wants to put on, though?

Yes it is possible 😉

There is 512 character limit so if the code is 512 character or less it work. Unlucky for him, the Chatango code pass the limit even after I remove the useless thing.

I personally don't like chat box in forums because they just cause the forum to load slow and members are less likely to post but if you want to have a chat room, you can put a link to the chat room in the footer.

Then I'm not using prophpbb

You can always put in forum description.

For example:
http://testkxd.prophpbb.com/

Edit your overall_footer.html and add the code in there. 🙂

Free hosts like ProphpBB don't let us edit files or let you use FTP.

Hosting your own forum (free host or paid host) > Free forum host.

'Nuff said.

I recommend doing so InfernHawk, and if you need any help doing so I am sure there are plenty of us willing to help you.

Good luck on your forum(s)!
