Hello,

I have a problem with the AJAX funcitionality of this extension. When I click to "shout", I must reload the page to see my message on the shoutbox. That's a bug - but it only see when you use the Safari 2.0. With Firefox 1.5 it works great - but I will Safari 2.0 use to surf :(

Who can help my?

Ok, I've tried doing a search, and searching this thread and with no luck and after sifting (over a two-day period) nearly 1200 posts and going through nearly 80 pages, I've not seen the problem I face (unless I overlooked it). Before I could live with it, but now its more of an annoyance.

Does anyone know how to correct the issue with special characters? { <, >, ", etc.}
When someone shouts with a special character, it displays the &gt; or &lt; or whatever the html equivelant is. Given enough time I may find a solution, but I wanted to know if someone has already encountered this and their solution? Thanks!

Strange, I don't have that problem at all....
When I type > in my Shoutbox it shows > and not &gt.

Hi peeps

How can i make this viewable when browsing the forums please?

I don't exactly know what you mean?
You could just open a seperate window / tab for your homepage with shoutbox and browse the forums in a other window / tab ;)

The shoutbox is shown by putting the variable $shoutbox in a template.
I don't know if it works on other page to, though.

having another browser open is defeating the object slightly, it would work for me as i have a dual moniotr setup but my other staff dont have such luxuries.... therefore having another browser open they would still have to keep checking it, same as they do now, but if it was shown all the time throught the forum then it would be noticed and be easily read and used,

I will try the variable though, thanks

just tried the $shoutbox and it is not found on any of my templates anywhere...

The only places where the word shoutbox is, is in its own templates :(

Dead end there im afraid

Nope it's not :)
It's true that no template is edited by the hack.
However, in the code there is a replacement for a certain textphrase in the forumhome-template and $shoutbox is put underneath. What textphrase is used, depends on where you position the shoutbox in your admincp.
It's mentioned somewhere in this thread how it works exactly a couple of pages back, try searching this thread ;)

When you manualy put $shoutbox in a template, than it will appear where you put this variable. Just try it :)

I did try that, i put it in forumhome i think it was but nothing changed!
