How do I make it so that my forum takes up 75% of the space, on the left, and the shoutbox takes up the rest of the space, on the right?

...is it possible to add a function to enable uses only to post once every 60 seconds?

Otherwise, this has made a huge impact on my board in a positive way! Thank you!

Weird.
When shouting it goes to the webservers root and doesn't stay in the forums root :(
Any solutions?

firewars: in your "shoutbox_postshout" template, replace "shoutbox.php" in the form's action attribute with "$bburl/shoutbox.php" -- I think that ought to do it.

HLodder: use the attached shoutbox.php file to prevent users from shouting more than once every 60 seconds. It's just a primitive little thing I threw together, but it works...I think. :D All it does is ignore their shout if it's been less than 60 seconds. No error or anything...this is quick and dirty at it's best. :D

Chris,

Thanks for this. Very much appricated and now in use!!!

Cheers.

TWTCommish:

Thanks, but before applying your fix I thought about it and then I was sure it should work as it's in the same directory, but:

There is a slash (/) before it which makes it use the directory above the $bburl-directory and thus using root.
Thanks for telling me where to look, though: it works like a charm.
Impressive hack :)

Does anyone know how to change the timeformat?
I'm not talking about $time_posted, I was able to change that.
I am talking about $timestamp which is used in the forumhome_shoutbox-template.
Any idea?

It's simple... find this line in your index.php file:

Modify the first argument passed to the vbdate() function (the text inside the single quotation marks) to a different format using the same characters you'd use for PHP's date() function.

Can I ask, are you planning to release a later version of this hack and if so, can you offer any insight on what may be included?

Thanks!!!

Yeah, I am, but not for awhile yet. I've detailed potential features in earlier posts. I don't feel like diggin' 'em up just now, though. I'll get back to you later. :D (sorry, I'm lazy, I guess)
