Yep, it was in a template. I rebuilt them and it works fine. thanks all

My bad - correction - it works fine from the vbindex page but I get a file not found when I try it from the shout page. Where should I look?

Can I look over the templates? I might figure out the problem from there.

Thanks for the offer, but after very carefully going over the code, I found the the code listed in the instructions (that I copied and pasted) had an extra "/" that was hosing it.

to make sure you know. I will look over that code tomorrow.

Tnx Takahasi. :)

Thanks.

Can't see the forums when its closed.

Sorry, the other admin must have closed it. Gonna fix that now.

Fixed. Can you tell me whats wrong.

Either you didn't edit index.php or you didn't add the forumhome_shoutbox template (whatever it's called).

Thats what i tought, i checked both and their there :/ Im gonna check again.

erm..... TWTCommish I dont think you ever answered on how to do this. Please tell us?

Oh and also is there a way to make a smiley limit for the shoutbox please?

uh..... anyone?

also is there a way to disable HTML in it?

Advice to stop HTML beeing used in shoutbox, as tested by MaDCaT75 and so far works :)

In the shoutbox.php file find



and change too

[/size]

[sidenote] This is my first proper bit of PHP help Horray!![/sidenote]

what about users who like to make ridiculously long shouts or put 30000000 smilies in there?

Surly you could pinch the code that stops you putting 30,000 smileys into posts :/

After inplying your method I am still getting the root DIR for the shout box. any suggestions? Running VB 2.3.3

Yes I am sick of banning people who ignore my warnings about this.

MaDCaT75, ask me on MSN later and i will help you out. Consider it an early xmas present :)

Thanks :D

vb3?

Not until RC1 I would imagine

I installed the hack but whenever I try to post a shout it takes me to shoutbox.php in the directory below the one the file's actually in.

I have an error......

Warning: main(./global.php) [function.main]: failed to create stream: No such file or directory in /hsphere/local/home/hiphop/rapblock.com/shoutbox.php on line 5

it comes up when I try to post a shout. please help

Thats exactly what I would ask you guys about too!

How do you remove the [img] tags???

Thanks ;)

Great tip, Bald Bouncer! You just solved my problem. Thanks, buddy!

Hey I just installed this on vb2.3.3 and it works perfectly... so far. I do need a cosmetic change thou... is there is a way to make each shout out alternate colors just like posts on the main home page?? On our home page, it's just all one color while on the shoutbox page it alternates colors.

Check that out, may help you.

Ok, got a little problem here...

I go to the Shoutbox, but when I try to post a shout, it goes to a "page not found" URL. What would cause this?

If you feel like registering and testing it out(the Shoutbox link seems to be directing to the wrong URL --- it goes to www.bladestorm.net/forums instead of forums.bladestorm.net; anyone know why this is, or how to fix it?):

I don't mean to be rude, but this bug has been spotted and corrected maybe a dozen times in this thread already.

I just couldn't find it in the last 10 pages and had to log off after only skimming through them. I am sorry to have bothered you with it, but I found the problem on my own when I found the template that needed to be corrected. Thanks for the notice and the hack, TWTC! :D

installed nearly perfectly on 2.3.4! Only problem was the already mentioned path in the shoutbox_post template.

Another satisfied customer :)
