If you goto http://www.plugspark.com/forums/shoutbox.php you'll see it doesn't display the shouts :( plz help?

its not working:(

I had no problems whatsoever in getting this working first try, I suggest starting from scratch and trying again.. That's all I can think of... Works well on vB 2.3.0.

For this you will need VB Shoutbox created by TWTCommish once you have installed it you can install this hack

Works on 2.2.9 and I beleave the latest version of the shoutbox edit shout appears in the admin options but if needed I will have the hack so that normal members can edit their shouts ;)

Provides a 15s window to stop people spamming up the shoutbox and double shouting.

I hope this hasn't been covered, I did search and didn't find anything.

Can the shoutbox be available to only certain members groups?

If so, how?

Sorry... I think I did find my answer although I haven't tried it yet....

OK... I dont think the above solution is a very good solution. Not that I dont appreciate it because I do.

It works...... I guess.... but it gives the usergroups without permission a raw error screen like a php line error screen. That doesn't seem to be a very slick way to handle this.

I was hoping I could set other usergroups to be just not able to post like it is for unregistered users etc.

When a unregistered user sees the shoutbox it looks normal, no errors or anything yet there is no "submit" button or text entry field so they can't post. Couldn't we make it to where we could set other usergroups to get this same treatment?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Installed the shoutbox ok but when I press shout it takes me to the wrong link. Instead of going to /forums/shoutbox.php it goes to just my root dir and looks for shoutbox.php.

How or where do I change the link so when a peeps press the shout buttton it goes to /forums/shoutbox.php as it says to do this in the instructions Upload the shoutbox.php file to your main forums directory. There, you're done!.

Thanks

Thanks! Clicked install!
Very nice addition!

It would also be very handy if the shoutbox doesn't support or automatically removes linebreaks, just to prevent the shout get's enormous 'heights' on the forum home page.

You'll have to fix your code or your instructions;)

Either change your instructions to name the added template "editshout" and not "shoutbox_editpost", or change the following code in your file:

Nice hack, just needs some work.:)

Is it fully yours?
Can guests chat too?

This isn't the actual shoutbox, TWTCommish made the full shoutbox.

This is only an edit for it.:)

this whole edit thing didnt work :\

ok. i fixed it so i can get the edit box, but when i edit it... it goes back to the edit box, and nothing is edited :S

My code was only so it would get the appropriate template.

The edit thing does not work for me so I uninstalled it.

lol can u make it work :p

Oooooo My Bad ;) Fixed

This hack is an add on which allows users to edit their own shouts and allows admins mods and supermods to edit any shout they want

Enjoy ;)

An Admin only edit option can be found at https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachmen...chmentid=14656

Thanks a lot! Could you do another add-on, so that guest can enter a nick anc can chat as well? :rolleyes:

very nice, good work! :)

i know the modification for limiting chars in a shout is released but is there a way to limit just what is shown on the forumhome? like whatever text gets cutoff gets replaced with ...
Ex:
Me and my friend were going to the...

DarkDraco07, take the code from vB3 last post cut off option, just the same.

and exactly where would that be located? i dont have vb3

Hello,

I cannot post in my shoubox! When I go to shoutbox.php, the box to type in the shout doesnt appear.

Great hack! Thanks! I hope that it doesn't consume too much bandwidth, though...

I did not see this posted anywhere so here it is.

I have this hack installed on my website at http://www.dungeonkeepersdomain.com and it is awesome.

Can somebody please an addition so I can display who has the most shouts.

Something like the following:

Top Shouter: {username} with XX shout(s).

Hopefully the "username" will be a link to the user's profile.

TIA

On the forumhome, how do i make the shoutbox table not as wide. My forum is at 90% width, but then the shoutbox makes it 100% and i cant change it. How do i do that?

Can someone help me? I installed the Shout Box on my site and when a user posts a shout, it posted 125 entries to a single user. Is there a way to get it to post one entry when someone makes a post?

See what I mean?

Whoa, geez, why don't you redo the code and query...its probably the query did you do it right?

Hmm, I had installed it on my test board and it worked great but the only problem l got is..

when l post a shout, its not showing up... I mean when l press a shout button, the page just promote me to go back to the shoutbox.php
please help!

And how do you move the shoutbox from the bottom to the top of the page?

Can anybody help? :(

I want a miniavatar before the name in the shoutbox and placed this in the shoutbox_bit:

<img src="icon.php?s.userid=$[shoutid]" height="16" width="16">«$name: but this is not working. Ofcourse this isn't the right code to do this. Does anyone know how to do this?

Hmmm, I might look into it and test it out when I get a chance tomorrow. It involves modifying the php files to do this.

I just installed shoutbox and it shows up and seems to work until I try and shout. when I click on the shout now button I get a "The requested URL was not found on this server". Did I miss a config somewhere?

on forumhome template, just find the following:


$loggedinusers
$birthdaybits

And add below:
$the_shoutbox

As for your shoutbox posting error, please show me your forums.

Here ya go: http://audiokarma.org/forums/

That post was to x-sector but I will look into yours.

Wardsweb do you have any kind of Instant messenger? Preferably AIM? If so Please IM me at Gio Takahashi.

You may have did something wrong in the template. when I used the shout I got a 404, that most likely indicates that you did something wrong in the template.

Sorry no IM. I just did a copy and paste to create the 10 new templates and to edit the other template and index. Think I should just rebuild all the templates?
