This installation guide assumes you have already installed and configured a dalines.org.engine.
Download the latest version of the Metatron Chat Engine from this page (at the bottom of the page). Once downloaded, please extract the Chat directory to your /spellbook directory of your dalines.org.engine install. The next step is to enable the controller in your voodoo.ini file located in your /conf directory.
Open /conf/voodoo.ini in a text editor. Under the heading [controllers] add the following line: chat = On. In case chat is already there as a setting but it is set to Off, change it to On instead of adding an extra line.
Now scroll all the way to the bottom of the file and add the following:
[controller.chat]
alias = rooms,content,avatar,handle,login,register,banner,plugin,signup
Save the file and exit the editor. Now we have to add the tables to your database. Please goto http://your/url/setup/Controller/chat, this should show you all the tables which are needed by the Metatron Chat Engine that are not present yet. If you have the
insecure_sql_execution set to On in your admin.ini file, you can enter your MySQL user credentials to add the tables. It is not recommended to have the insecure_sql_execution enabled. If it is set to Off you have to manually copy and paste the tables into a MySQL client.
Once the tables are added the Metatron Chat Engine is ready to be used. Please goto http://your/url/chat to start creating boardrooms. Have fun.
The configuration file of the Metatron Chat Engine is located in the Chat/conf subdirectory. The first section of the configuration file is the setup section and contains general settings of the chats.
[setup]
chat.history = 35 ; Show posts per page
chat.css = "" ; What stylesheet do we use.
chat.format = default ; What format do we use
chat.login = Always ; Always: impossible to enter without login, or default
The first entry is how many posts are shown at any given time in a chat. Even on entry, previously posted lines can be shown. The second entry is about the css files used for the chat content display. This can be left empty if you have all your chat based css classes defined in your generic dalines.org.engine css file.
The format is another configuration file which is basically the setup of the different lines to be displayed. Please have a look at the default layout configuration file.
The Metatron Chat Engine implements a variation of the dalines.org.engine privileges for both the creation and management of the Chats as well as for each individual plugin commands. The management and creation privilege settings are located in the privileges section of the configration file.
The latest package of the Metatron Chat Engine for the dalines.org.engine is 2.1. You can download it here:
