Categories Hierarchy 2.1.x and IM Portal 1.2.0

[Teelk]

Categories Hierarchy 2.1.x does not support assign_var() which is part of the IM Portal installation.

If you're running Categories Hierarchy 2.1.x and want to install IM Portal 1.2.0, install the MOD as instructed in the downloads and then do the following...

hmm i noticed that alright in the admin panel some errors abut vars.

What exactly does it mean if it does not work, what will not function?

[Teelk]

If you install phpBB + CH 2.1.x + IM Portal without making the above changes, then IM Portal will simply not appear. Meaning the blocks will not appear.

[richiebgood]

i hate to disagree with someone who knows a lot more about it that i do, but on my old board, IM works grand

maybe a got an updated script?

[Teelk]

You may have been using an older version of CH... it's possible that someone has updated the IM Portal download recently without my knowledge, however.
