SMF Shoutbox

Do your smileys work elsewhere in your forum?

i think, it is really important that you uninstall previous versions of this mod. this version in the attachment worked only with smf 1.1 on my clean test-board. it is not compatible to previous versions of smf. and i doesn't support the upgrade function of the 1.15.

Does your version save the features when they are edited?  And what is the upgrade function of 1.15?

yes it saves the feature settings... and the version 1.15 is able to update directly from earlier versions of this mod. the version 1.20b1 does not.

Problem: Blank Shoutbox
Cause: I'm an idiot
Request: Assistance



Ok, here's the scoop - I had the Shoutbox working perfectly (it's a phenomenal Mod!), and then I had to make some changes to my server (paths and stuff).  Now, I'm not seeing any of the messages that are typed into the box.  I don't get any errors at all - either on the board or in the error log.

What happened?  Well, as I said, I had to make some changes to the site.  No physical moving was required, but I had to change some of the paths in SMF to link properly (they were using local paths instead of relational paths), and I *think* that it broke the connection to the Database.  I ended up using the repair-settings.php file to fix the other problems that I was having, and this is the *last* little bit that I have to get working.

Erm...what else?  I'm using Wamp 5, SMF 1.1...that's it I think.  I realize how much it would help if I were getting error messages, but the lack of messages gives me nowhere else to look!

I have tried an uninstall/reinstall of the Mod to no avail.  I get the impression that it's still able to *post* messages in the shoutbox, but that the box isn't looking in the right place to present them.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

16. Execute Modification ./Sources/ModSettings.php Test failed


is what I get...for some reason.

10. Execute Modification ./Themes/classic/BoardIndex.template.php Test failed

I was getting this exact failure too and then my forum would crash if I continued with the install.  What worked for me was completely unmodding my forum and installing.  It's running fine now, but feature changes still aren't saved.  At this point, I'm going to wait a bit longer before attempting the latest version of it.

I don't know what is the problem with this save feature.  Maybe you can change it manually after installing the mod (version1.15a... or else). Search in the ModSettings.php for this:

Code Select Expand

// This function basically just redirects to the right save function.
function ModifyFeatureSettings2()
{
global $context, $txt, $scripturl, $modSettings, $sourcedir;

isAllowedTo('admin_forum');
loadLanguage('ModSettings');

// Quick session check...
checkSession();

require_once($sourcedir . '/ManageServer.php');

$subActions = array(
'basic' => 'ModifyBasicSettings',
'layout' => 'ModifyLayoutSettings',
'karma' => 'ModifyKarmaSettings',
And you just have to add this:

Code Select Expand

'sbox' => 'ModifySboxSettings',

Disregard my above post - issue resolved.  It was a backwards backslash...such is the nature of using Windows to host something internet related

Sorry, but the SMF Shoutbox Mod doesn't support your SMF version!


Dang.. I just did the SMF 1.1.1... will this soon work for this??

Hello,

I changed the package-info in order to work with 1.1.1. However, it doesn't work. In the forum index appears:

Code Select Expand

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: sbox_display() in /home/nintendo/public_html/forum/Sources/Subs.

What should I do?

Thanks


EDIT: I found the problem. The files weren't well installed in the ftp, they had 0 kd. I already replaced the wav file, the two language files, sbox.php, sboxDB.php, sbox.template.php and sbox_refresh.gif.
It's working now.

Should I do something else?

[ramansingla]

I downloaded & installed FoneBone lates revision of Shoutbox & get the following error. See in the picture...
I can't see the source of the problem...

Mine is SMF 1.1.1

[tL0z]

Check if sbox.php and sboxDB.php are in Sources folder.

By the way, could anyone please make it possible to give or to remove permissions in posting on the shoutbox? I really need it!

[dry3210]

Well I got the shoutbox to work with 1.1.1 but I no longer seem to be able to get it to show up on all the boards...only the main board.  Even with editing the board.templete

[FoneBone]

So, here we go again. I've rewritten the xml-file to a mod-file and I 've tested it on my board. There were no problems at all while installation or uninstallation.

can you please figure out why my smileys doesn't work for my shoutbox? i installed the  sbox_v1.20b1.zip version...

[Arnaldo]

Awsome fix
everything seems to be working great, even the smilies 

[Tarth]

Thanks for the update, very well appreciated.

I have only one weird issue. Regular users shoutbox windows do not refresh properly when using the refresh button. The window does not refresh (as if using the button could not get info from the database and update itself). However, The auto-refresh works fine and there are no problems at all for admin users (works the same it always worked for them).

Thanks for your usual help,
