Can someone post a modified FORUMHOME-Template, so users can add shouts directly from the Forum's Mainpage?

Thanks.

Yeah, I found that error a while ago, it's fixed for Beta 6.

I'll make a quick edit to the FORUMHOME template and post it here.

Ok, this will make a small textarea under the shouts. In FORUMHOME, find this:

$latestshouts

and add this after it:

 <center><form action="shoutbox.php" method="post"><input type="hidden" name="do" value="addshout"><textarea name="message" rows="5" cols="60" class="bginput" wrap></textarea><br><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Shout Now!" class="bginput" accesskey="s"></form>

Or for a small input box under the last shouts, add this:

<form action="shoutbox.php" method="post"><input type="hidden" name="do" value="addshout"><input type="text" name="message" value="" size="60"><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Shout Now!" class="bginput" accesskey="s"></form>

Perfect, thank you Link14716

Ok, in Beta 6, there is a toggable setting - you can select an input box, a textarea, or neither to show up on FORUMHOME.

Link, you are the man !
Thanks for this great hack and the html-code

AH, one thing... Is there a way that the user will not be forwarded to the shoutbox.php-Mainpage, then he ads a shout. I just want the shout added and the user should stay on forumhome.

[Link14716]

An option will be in the next release.

For now, though, find this:

PHP Code:

// ########################### START ADD SHOUT ############################ 


Now search under it for this:

PHP Code:

    $do = "main"; 


Change that to this:

PHP Code:

header("Location: index.php");
exit; 


And that should work.

Yes, works (after using a ; instead of : after ..php.)

For the next version, it would be cool if the script could check, if the user is on the forumhome or in shoutbox.php and stay after adding a new shout at the user's current location.

Damned shift key! Yeah, that's a better idea. Let me implement it now...
