I set $updateTimeout currently set at "0" and shoutbox disappear but more rarely

I $updateTimeout set at 60,  20, 100, 200 and sb still disappear. There is best when i set $updateTimeout at 0.

denio, what's your hosts' PHP script timeout? Try 10. The timeout might be 15 seconds. 0 is too short -- it may overload the server!

captain_jack: Thanks. What I did was take an unmodified yshout.php, added your settings and shout reversal, then followed step 5 of the smiley guide. Hope that helps!
Check out the AJAX Shoutbox (my one and only mod to date :P)
Do you like SMF? Are you using ProBoards, InvisionFree, ActiveBoards or some other web-hosted forum? I can help you convert to SMF (without having to purchase a DB conversion)...contact me [nneonneo {at} gmail *dot* com], and see this topic

Right idea, Brian, but not quite the right implementation.

No code is really required; it's just an HTML file with the board URL interpolated in a few places:
Code Select
<?php
   $boardurl = 'http://forum.com/path/to/forum';
   echo '<html><head><title>Shoutbox</title>
   <script src="',$boardurl,'/Themes/default/script.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
   <script src="',$boardurl,'/yshout/js/prototype.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
   <script src="',$boardurl,'/yshout/js/moo.ajax.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
   <script src="',$boardurl,'/yshout/js/behaviour.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
   <script src="',$boardurl,'/yshout/js/domFunction.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
   <script type="text/javascript">

   var myfunc = new domFunction(function()
   {
      loadChat();
   }, { "yshout":"id"});
   var board_url = "', $boardurl, '";

   </script>
   <script src="',$boardurl,'/yshout/js/yshout.js?Aug92007" type="text/javascript"></script>
   <script type="text/javascript">var shoutFile = "home.txt";</script>

      #yshout em {

?>


As you can see, this is basically a thin HTML page wrapping the usual code from index.template.php. It causes the client to load all the necessary JS, and the client is then responsible for calling yshout.

All you need to do, odavilar, is change $boardurl up top (for such a simple script, I'm not going to run off to SSI just to check the board URL ;) ). Then, place the script in any web-accessible location and *boom* it's there.

This code is largely copied from glxpa's solution (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=137508.msg1170765#msg1170765) and cleaned up somewhat to avoid missing variables. It has also been edited to include a small fix mentioned by me later in the thread.

*Note: Using a *relative* link (e.g. /forum/, instead of http://moo.com/forum/) for $boardurl is probably safer so that minor domain mismatches (www.xxx.yyy vs. xxx.yyy) don't prevent the script from working.

Hi There!
Ive been trying to get this working for a while now, buy i still cant :(
My idea es to have the shoutbox load on another window.

I copied the exact same code as above on a php page, The shoutbox loads and I can see the "shouts". My problem is that whenever I try to shout, nothing happens :(! I write some text and then clicked on the "shout!" button, but there is no reaction :(

Any Ideas?
Im using 2.0 beta 3.1

I had the same problem. Look at the yshout folder via FTP. Look for a "js" and a "chats" folder. If they are not there, the shoutbox will keep on saying "loading" forever. If the folders aren't there, extract them from the .zip file and upload them manually to the yshout folder.

I made sort of guide for dummies, or something like that, to place this shoutbox in News field, and make it look cool on forum.
Personally, I believe this is the best position for shoutbox, and if you don't need News on your forum you could place shoutbox instead.


First steps you already know, but I'll repeat it just in case;

First download yShout and install it.
If you're using different theme than default one after

Code Select
echo '
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="', $settings['default_theme_url'], '/fonts-compat.css" />';


you must add this code into your index.template.php :

Code Select
// YSHOUT HERE
global $boardurl;
echo '
<script src="',$boardurl,'/yshout/js/prototype.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="',$boardurl,'/yshout/js/moo.ajax.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="',$boardurl,'/yshout/js/behaviour.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="',$boardurl,'/yshout/js/domFunction.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">

var myfunc = new domFunction(function()
{
loadChat();
}, { "yshout":"id"});
var board_url = "'; $boardurlparsed = parse_url($boardurl); echo (isset($boardurlparsed['path'])?$boardurlparsed['path']:""), '";

</script>
<script src="',$boardurl,'/yshout/js/yshout.js?Mar072008" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">var shoutFile = "home.txt";</script>
<style type="text/css">
#yshout {
font-size: 10px;
}
#yshout p {
margin: 0 0 0; /* Top Bottom Linespacing */
}
.shout-invalid {
background: #FFFDD1;
}
#yshout fieldset {
border: none;
}
#yshout em {
font-style: normal;
}
#yshout p {
line-height: 1;
margin-top: 0;
}
#yshout {
overflow: hidden;
}
#yshout .shout-timestamp {
font-weight: normal;
color: #000;
}
#yshout .adminlink {
font-size: 6pt;
color: #141414;
}
#forum-name, #shout-text, #shout-button {
font-size: 9px;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
#yshout #forum-name {
color: #666666;
width: 70px;
margin-right: 5px;
}
#yshout #shout-text {
color: #000000;
width: 310px;
margin-right: 5px;
}
#yshout #shout-button {
width: 55px;
}
</style>';
// YSHOUT END


Then do this:
In News box put this code instead putting second code somewhere else:

Code Select
<div id="yshout">',$txt['yshout_loading'],'

And save it.

Of course you need news box to be displayed in order to see shoutbox in your index page.
To do that go to Theme options and click to:

1. DISABLE eNews   [it is very dangerous to leave it enabled, so if it is checked,       you must uncheck it]
&
2. Show news fader on board index [check it]

3. fading delay - set to 0

Click save and you're ready to go.


If you wish to change News to Shout box or Shoutbox you'll need to find file index.english-utf8.php / index.english.php or of  any other language file you're using.  They are stored under Forum/Themes/default/languages/  In there you'll need to edit string    $txt[102] = 'News';   
to   $txt[102] = 'Shoutbox';  and re-upload that file to it's place. You'll need to replace old file with that new-one if you didn't delete old one first. 


I guess that's it. I hope it shall be helpful to at least someone.

This is great and I love it

Anyone know how to make the News Box collapsible

Thanks

GMC

OK. I see that some of you people are trying to put shoutbox on different page.
Really proper way to do it is only one, and includes one more mod. This mod is called
custom actions mod and will make your life so much more easier.

When you download it, and upload it, then install it, go to
Configuration » Features and options » Custom Actions

There you'll see - Add an action
Click on it.

Under name write: shoutbox
Under type choose: PHP
Under page title: shoutbox   
Under code you shall use code that is written by creator of this shoutbox itself - one and only - nneonneo:

Please note first line: YOU NEED TO EDIT IT 2 MATCH NAME OF YOUR WEB-PAGE:

   
Code Select
$boardurl = 'http://www.webpage.com/forum/yshout.php';
    echo '<html><head><title>Shoutbox</title>
    <script src="',$boardurl,'/Themes/default/script.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script src="',$boardurl,'/yshout/js/prototype.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script src="',$boardurl,'/yshout/js/moo.ajax.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script src="',$boardurl,'/yshout/js/behaviour.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script src="',$boardurl,'/yshout/js/domFunction.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">

    var myfunc = new domFunction(function()
    {
        loadChat();
    }, { "yshout":"id"});
    var board_url = "', $boardurl, '";

    </script>
    <script src="',$boardurl,'/yshout/js/yshout.js?Aug92007" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">var shoutFile = "home.txt";</script>
    <style type="text/css">
        #yshout {
            font-size: 10px;
        }
        #yshout p {
            margin: 0 0 0; /* Top Bottom Linespacing */
        }
        .shout-invalid {
            background: #FFFDD1;
        }
        #yshout fieldset {
            border: none;   
        }
        #yshout em {
            font-style: normal;
        }
        #yshout p {
            line-height: 1;
            margin-top: 0;
        }
        #yshout {
            overflow: hidden;
        }
        #yshout .shout-timestamp {
            font-weight: normal;
            color: #000;
        }
        #yshout .adminlink {
            font-size: 6pt;
            color: #141414;
        }
        #forum-name, #shout-text, #shout-button {
            font-size: 9px;
            margin: 0;
            padding: 0;
        }
        #yshout #forum-name {
            color: #666666;
            width: 70px;
            margin-right: 5px;
        }
        #yshout #shout-text {
            color: #000000;
            width: 310px;
            margin-right: 5px;
        }
        #yshout #shout-button {
            width: 55px;
        }
        #shouts .owner a {
            color: #F00;
        }
        #shouts .moderator a {
            color: #00F;
        }
    </style>
    </head>
    <body>
    <br /><b>Shout Box</b><br /><br />
    <div id="yshout">Shoutbox loading...<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div></body></html>';
?>

Now click on SAVE, then click Go to page. Shoutbox should now be displayed.
If it's not, you should read first post of this theme for usual troubleshooting



Now go to Configuration » Current theme » Themes and settings
Choose Modify the index template:

Find something like this:
   // Show the [home] button.
   echo   '<li><a href="', $scripturl, '">' , $txt[103] , '</a></li>';

Add THIS:
   //Show the [Shoutbox] button
   echo   '<li><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=shoutbox.php">Shoutbox</a></li>';

If you want it to be displayed before help;
   // Show the [help] button.
   echo   '<li><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=help">' , $txt[119] , '</a></li>';

Don't forget to save changes.

And this is it people. I believe it shall do the trick perfectly.
If it doesn't you can kill me or PM me.  :P

May 15, 2008, 02:55:18 PM
In yshout.php find this and do what it says:

// Guest usage. Set to false if you don't want guests to use the shoutbox: they will not be able to read it or post to it.
$allowGuests=true;

change to

$allowGuests=false;

May 15, 2008, 03:22:45 PM
yes there is, and that depends on the theme you're using. you should say what theme you're using, or just post link to your forum. you can also have it on separate page, if you wish, [or not if you don't wish to]. usual instructions for displaying shoutbox and troubleshooting are on first post of this thread.

With very little effort, you can put the shoutbox pretty much wherever you want it. There are, of course, going to be exceptions, depending on which theme your are wanting to integrate it into. I have the shoutbox and the news both in the user info area. See here.

Great mod, huh?

Well, I guess the easiest thing to try to fix it would be to add     ';    on the line before // YHSOUT HERE
and add     echo'     on the line after // YSHOUT END.

If that doesn't do the trick, you may want to attach your file you are trying to edit so someone could take a look at it.  :D
