Everything is just fine...but I got one small problem

On my main page, I placed shoutbox under one of my modules...problem is that it is not collapsable module and colapse bar is under shoutbox not above as it should

Nice mod.

Just a quick suggestion:

It would be nice to have the files uploaded to /forum/shoutbox for example instead of adding the 10 files in the root folder, causing a bit of a clutter.

Also, I noticed you're using frames. Probably a bad idea.

Just an idea.

Have to put a <tr> and <td> command before Dion's code and then a </td> then </tr> after it, that should do it :). Your code/template should look like this:

Quote:

<tr>
<td>


<iframe src="shoutbox.php" width="100%" height="200" scrolling="auto" frameborder="0">
Browser does not support iframes
</iframe>
<br /><br />


</td>
</tr>

Dion, I've installed it all ok and put it under my forumhome however no shouts appear when typed in :confused: ... however if I go to the archive it show's the shouts there :). Get no error messages, any ideas on what could be causing this, am using 3.8.1 PL1

How about main page under VBA cmps ?!

Place the template.txt code in any template you want.

Did you check his Readme/Install file??

It was in there ;)

So basically open up template.txt included in the download and copy the entire code...

PHP Code:


		
			
<!-- Dion Dev Shoutbox v2.0 -->

<iframe src="shoutbox.php" width="100%" height="200" scrolling="auto" frameborder="0">

Browser does not support iframes

</iframe>

<br /><br />

<!-- end Dion Dev Shoutbox v2.0 -->

Now paste it in any template i.e.

Forum Home for main forum
Forum Display for Subforums etc
Navbar if you find a good spot
Header
Footer
etc
etc

Also note you can change some of the variables i.e. height width etc as seen in the code!

--> width="100%" OR just 900 for px

--> height="200" Same as above but you can increase to 300px by changing to 300 etc etc.

--> frameborder="0" To add a border etc so put in 1 or 2 etc etc.

Enjoy and thanks DionDev for the new Shoutbox for vB owners :D

Great tutorial!

Why are frames a bad idea? The only thing I can think of is in regards to SEO, and the "iframes are bad for SEO" school of thought is 100% incorrect. Iframes get indexed fine, they are simply considered their own pages.

I will add a collapse button and the forum table header style to the next version.

Show me the link please. You may have done something wrong.

A lot of people have frames disabled in their browsers. That's why.

@CFodder
:o
Works like charm, thanks :up:

Thank you all guys

How can I place this shoutbox at the bottom of each page?
