Okay, I have done everything everyone has done and I do not understand why my chatbox is not showing up. I have put the code in, I have done the usergroup thing I uploaded everything from the upload folder and I installed the plug in. Can someone explain? The forum is www.forthewindian.net If anyone can see why.

I see the shoutbox call in your page source. I think this indicates you made the edit, but didn't install the product. Try it again, allowing overwrite. Also try disabling all your other mods to see if one is interfering.

That did not work.

THANK YOU Trek!!

Yup! That did it! Awesome!!
========

Question, is there a change coming for the "typewritter effect" of the messages, when you load a page?

========

Unregistered / Not Logged In users are not able to see any of the messages.
The shoutbox displays in the window, yet it contains no messages.

I went to the Unregistered / Not Logged In group, and set the permissions to:
GCBOS Permissions
Can View GCBOS
YES
Can Talk in GCBOS
YES

I am using 4.01 and am seeing the same thing.

1. Loaded ok
2. added <!-- {SHOUTBOX} --> to many areas including navbar/forumhome etc
3. changed usergroup permissions
4. shoubox is in the source code on the page but not visible

any ideas?

@ xDazedx:
Did you upload all the files?

Then did you import the product with the .xml file?

I figured it out. Not sure how it happened but I grabbed the wrong version of code. Pulled the old and grabbed the right version and who would have guessed, it worked!

Great mod and thanks!

Actually, only one of the files should end up in /forum/. No idea if that's your problem.

Did you give permissions to your Admins and Registered users to view the ShoutBox?

You have to edit the User Group... at the bottom, you will find the GCBOS permissions.
