Install Instructions

The following application will add a Mibbit chat application to your Nova management system. To install this application you need to perform the following steps.

1. Upload application/config/mibbit.php to your application/config folder of your Nova install. Configure the MOD in this file. The width and height can be any valid CSS value.

2. Upload application/controllers/main.php to your application/controllers folder of your Nova install replacing the existing one if you haven't already modified this file. If you already have changes in this file, it's best that you just take the contents of this file and add it into your existing main.php file.

3. Add the following line into your app_lang.php for your associated language(s) after the rest of the includes and before the Global items.

   /* include Mibbit Chat Language file */ include_once APPPATH.'language/'.$language.'/mibbit_chat_lang.php';

4. Upload application/language/english/mibbit_chat_lang.php to your application/views/language/english folder of your Nova install. Translate this page into other languages and upload them to the appropriate language directories. (If you would like your language included into a future release, please contact me via email.)

5. Upload application/views/_base_override/main/pages/main_chat.php to your application/views/_base_override/main/pages folder of your Nova install.

6. Log into your Nova management system and add a Chat menu item so your users can access your Mibbit chat page. You will use the link of main/chat when you create the menu item.

If you experience any issues please submit a bug report on http://github.com/demonicpagan/Nova-Mibbit-Chat-MOD/issues.
