Link to Mod (http://mods.simplemachines.org/index.php?mod=22)
This is your basic shoutbox. Your registers users type in a message and click shout. Guests on your
site (if you give them access to the block) will type in their name, email address and message before
clicking shout.
The format of each 'shout' is Date, Name, Message. If a registered user posts a shout, their name
becomes a link to their profile. If a guest posts a shout, their name is a mailto: to the email
address they entered.
For administrators, there is also a delete button next to each individual shout.
The ultimate shoutbox for YaBB SE was originally written by Greg Haase.
Making the shoutbox appear:
This modification will NOT modify any of your themes for you during install - this is to allow you to put the shoutbox where you want it to appear - not where I say! To actually make the shoutbox appear you need to modify the themes to display it. This is a VERY simple process I will take you through below.
Firstly, confirm the installation was successful. You can do this by going to "Feature Settings and Options", if you see some shoutbox options at the bottom of this page the install worked - well done!
Now, you need to edit a template to display the shoutbox. Most people will want the shoutbox to appear on every page - in this case you want to edit the file called index.template.php found in each theme directory - the default theme is Themes/default/index.template.php
Work out where you want the shoutbox to appear, and add the following code to the template:
if (function_exists('smfshout'))
smfshout();
You may find that you want to put the code in the middle of some existing HTML, and if you are not familiar to PHP may find adding this is causing your forum to error. If this is the case replace the code above with:
';
if (function_exists('smfshout'))
smfshout();
echo '
and this should fix the error!
Editing the shoutbox template itself:
If you want to edit how the shoutbox itself looks (for example making the message box bigger, putting it in two columns), you need to look at the shoutbox template. The shoutbox template is in the file called shout.template.php, and is located in your Themes/default directory. There are three functions in this file, one does the archive, one does the main shoutbox, and one does the form people shout into. Just edit the HTML in this file to change the appearance of the shoutbox on your site.
Please note, if you do change this file I recommend you keep a copy of the changes you made - as if you upgrade your forum in the future and reinstall the mod - your changes will of course be overwritten!
Putting the shoutbox elsewhere on your site:
If you want ideas for where to put the shoutbox on your page, please read this thread for examples. Note also you can use SSI to add the shoutbox elsewhere on your site - refer to: www.yoursite.com/smf/ssi_examples.php for examples of this!
I found a bug in the Ultimate Shoutbox... It appears to be working only in English.
I have SMF 1.0 RC1 installed with the italian language pack and after having installed it succesffully, when I try to access its Preferences I get no title plus these errors at the top of the page:

If I set the forum in english I don't get these errors but I don't see the shoutbox either (I might have to do something I don't know yet - I am not searching in the forum for instructions since unfortunately these mods come without instructions).

Devi aggiungere le traduzioni in Italiano.... tutte le Mod che trovi quì sono rilasciate in Inglese (tranne le mie che hanno la traduzione in Ita ovviamente o alcuni che oltre l' inglese inseriscono le relative nella loro lingua).
Controlla il file ".mod" della mod che stai installando ed aggiungi manualmente (tradotte) nel file relativo.
FaSan
PS : The user need add the relative translate and the mod work fine in his language.
are you sure that's all it takes? (sei sicuro che basta questo?)
where would I have to do these translations? inside the shoutbox_v1.01.mod file or somewhere else? (dove dovrei fare queste traduzioni? dentro il file shoutbox_v1.01.mod o da qualche altra parte?)
Le modifiche vanno fatte, manualmente, all' interno dei tuoi file di lingua.
Guardando, con un editor di testo, il file .mod che trovi all' interno della Mod, quali sono le linee e qual'è il file da modificare.
---
You need add the mod language's line in you language's files.
Thanks...
dont work on rc2 :/
hes upgradeing it.....he go most of it upgtraded but the ssi part(most important to me)
I'm having a heck of a time getting this installed.
I believe I have CHMODDED correctly. I have to manually install it (meaning upload the .gz file to the server), and then run the package manager.
This has gone on several times. I am now checking to see if the shoutbox files that were extracted are needing to be chmodded, and sure enough, they do (manually -- they are 666 so far)
I get a "550 Could not change perms on /public_html/smf/Sources/Shout.php: Bad file descriptor" when I try though.
any help?
(the board was a clean RC1 install, then an invision 1.3 conversion, then a RC 2 install -- no other mods in there, just the shoutbox that doesn't show up on the index page).
I am not an expert but my guess is you should install it on a clean RC1 first and then go from there, but before you re-start the whole installation process ask somebody else. I know it worked for me on a clean english RC1 (didn't work with other languages).

Gah!! Can you even delete it?
It may be owned by nobody. If this is the case, you need to download it, delete it, and reupload it.

Does sombody willing to give me there files so i can use the shout board
thanx in advance
Anybody ??? ::)
Try to download that : http://www.mymods.co.uk/Packages/shout.tar.gz
and apply the appropriate .mod ;)
FaSan
Witch one is te appropriate one ??? ;)
Read the .xml file 8)
he is giving errors :'( he is not showing the text in modsettings :'( if i collaps the features
Are you using English language? Also, don't install the version found on the mod site (I haven't updated these mods yet!) Instead download it from my package server!!
No i am using the dutch version but i have tried to put my language to enlish it doesen't work eihter
Ok i will do try that
I am thinking about moving my boards over to smf, and I tried to install the shoutbox from the package server, and it installed and evrything just fine. . . but how do I activate it? It does not show up on the index of the forum or anything. . . I see the options for it on the options page. But it does not show up any where to be used.
*EDIT* nevermind I found out what I missed forgot to add it to the template.
worked fine for me .... after I struggled with my template set (being a newbie). I think a small example (even if the shoutbox is not at the right location) will be useful.
Secondly, I increased the size of the submit box : a bit small maybe ? :)
thx
I succesfully installed the mod, but I can't see it yet. Do I have to manually edit some of the templates and where can I find more information about it? (Using dutch RC2, classic and modern theme).
Installation instructions should say when you install it - and it's been asked many times before. You need to edit the index.template.php file of whatever templates you want to add it to, and add the following functions:
smfshout();
An example (Incase you have trouble working with quotes) may be:
<table>
<tr>
<td>
', smfshout(), '
</td>
</tr>
</table>
Insert that within the HTML in the template and it will work. Obviously you'll need to adjust the HTML to fit your needs
doesn't this work with other language? my forum has chinese language, but it doesn't work. it works when i change the language to english though.
It should do if you put the language entries manually into Modifications.chinese.php. It won't do it for you. Just copy the contents it added to Modifications.english.php to your language of choice.
Maybe it's a good idea to automate that. For example: while installing the mod, you get the message: 'The language files need to be updated. Please select which languages you want to modify'. And then a multiple selectbox.
an example would have been cool, but it all worked out :). The SMF template system was easy for me to learn, http://www.raclan.org/forums/ I put mine to the left of my boards. probably not the most popular spot for it :P but thats what my members wanted.

That's where I have it on my board :P
It works perfectly now.
Would it be possible to have also the smileys ? Even within a popup ?
:)
My problem with shoutbox is that after following all the steps included in the installation documentation, the shoutbox shows an error with the message:
'Unable to load the 'shout' template. '
Can anybody help me?
Thnx in advance
make shure the shout.template.php is in your themes/default :)
Thnx... I was sure I had the shout.template in my Theme directory, but I had some problems with the name of the directory (I had it duplicated under another directory) and that was the problem, because my themes settings where pointing to the old directory where y didn't have the shout.templates file
Thnx
the shoutbox eat a lot of bandwith ?
no, not that I notice since it only loads once when you open the page you have it installed on. think iof it as a never ending post I guess :P
Can we get a working version for SMF 1.0 (preview)

I shall address this, it should just be that no install actions are defined
Yes thats what i was getting lol!
Updated. Should hopefully work with RC2 and preview now. Also made shouting and deleting a permission ;)
it uploads but when i click apply i get this...
im deffinately using the version that was updated on 17th of november... today..
Please remember to always make regular backups of your sources and database before installing mods, especially beta versions.
Package Manager - Install Actions
Install Actions for archive shout_v1_211f.tar.gz:
There are no installation or uninstallation actions defined!
That makes no sense at all! I removed all of the specific install actions just so it would work! Can you do a hard refresh (Ctrl + F5), and also delete it off your server, check it's not showing it as present then reupload it?
ok now when i click proceed i get this :/

Grudge, I think that the function template_shout_form() in shout.template.php be changed from :
function template_shout_form()

global $context, $settings, $options, $txt, $user_info, $scripturl, $modSettings, $ID_MEMBER;

} to
function template_shout_form()
{

echo '

} that way when you are typing a message, and you click out of the input area the message stays, but "Message" still disapears when you click it for the first time, but if you click again the message you are typing does not dissapear. I actually
Sorry for the delay M3THOD,
Quite confused by that problem. Could you use an ftp client when at that step and see whether the temp directory contains any files? If for some reason it's just something not working on your server I can spent a few minutes tomorrow trying to make up a package that will work for you!
Jerry,
Thanks for that, not a bad idea
PS, Jerry, think I've decided on just doing this instead:
<input type="text" value="', $txt['shoutbox_8'], '" name="message" size="16" maxlength="100" onfocus="if (this.value == \'', $txt['shoutbox_8'], '\')this.value=\'\'" /><br />
Shall be in next version
Great work on this mod, its used almost more than posting on my forums :P
What if I want to adjust the time, date and name font sizes....?
Also, I would like to have the date and name on line 1, and the shout on the next line. Do I have to edit the shout.php or the shout.template.php ?
[edit]
Never mind, I fixed that already.
One question still : how do I display the last shout on the main page on my website? If I use SSI, it would display all shouts and I just want 1 to be displayed.....
[/edit]
One thing :
it seems that you can use codes like [ b], [ i], [ move] etc. and also : the [ img] code.........
The problem I have is that very big pictures can ruin the whole template.
So there has to be some kind of check I guess. On my board the check is active and set to a maximum size, but the shoutbox will display the whole picture !!!
Displaying last shout by SSI... maybe I could add that to the next version if I get time? Would be *very* easy to do, just query the shout table and get the message.
As the BBC, good point on the [img] tag. Maybe we should just strip out the img tag to stop it happening? Something like:
$shout = preg_replace('~\[img\](.+?)\[/img\]~s', '', $shout);

And you do have a very good looking forum!! Wow. Nice theme!
I was jus looking for an example of a good working shoutbox and you sure have one. , and your chat looks good too.
Ed
ANd is this one compatible with Rc2 and where says how to activate /install it?
Yes it is, it gives you install instructions when you load it into the package server.
Ok, Tnx grudge.
Although I Didn't really saw any instructions the package manager saif that everything was installed succesful right away :) .
So now only need to make it appaer somewhere. It said it modificated my ssi.php also, so will check how to make it appear. ;)

Where should I put this $shout = preg_replace('~\[img\](.+?)\[/img\]~s', '', $shout); exactly ?
That was somewhat pseudo, it would be the shout() function though I'd think... I'm always at work when answering these at the moment so don't have code with me ;)
function Shout()
{
global $db_prefix, $user_info, $settings, $modSettings, $txt, $user_info, $sourcedir;
isAllowedTo('make_shout');
$time = time();
$_POST['message'] = isset($_POST['message']) ? $_POST['message'] : '';
$_POST['displayname'] = isset($_POST['displayname']) ? $_POST['displayname'] : '';
$message = $_POST['message'];
//Put a space in front of the message - so we can just enter 1 smiley. We make up for it in the display
$message = " " . $message . " ";
$message = htmlspecialchars($message, ENT_QUOTES);
include_once($sourcedir . '/Subs-Post.php');
preparsecode($message);
//Here we put in some validation so we don't have to put up with too much crap
//make sure all the fields are filled in
if (($_POST['displayname'] == "") || ($_POST['message'] == ""))
fatal_error($txt['shoutbox_11'], false);
//make sure nobody hit submit without filling in all the fields
if (($_POST['displayname'] == $txt['shoutbox_6']) || ($_POST['email'] == $txt['shoutbox_7']) || ($_POST['message'] == $txt['shoutbox_8']))
fatal_error($txt['shoutbox_11'], false);
//make sure nobody puts in a bogus email address
if ($user_info['is_guest'] && preg_match('~^[0-9A-Za-z=_+\-/][0-9A-Za-z=_\'+\-/\.][email protected][\w\-]+(\.[\w\-]+)*(\.[\w]{2,6})$~', $_POST['email']) == 0)
fatal_error($txt['shoutbox_12'], false);
if ($_POST['displayname'] == "")
$_POST['displayname'] = $user_info['name'];
// Now we're ready to insert the shout
$result = db_query("
INSERT INTO {$db_prefix}shoutbox
(ID_MEMBER, displayname, message,time,email)
VALUES ('$_POST[memberID]', '$_POST[displayname]', '$message','$time','$_POST[email]')", __FILE__, __LINE__);
ob_end_clean();
header("Location: $_POST[qstr]");
obExit(false);
} :)
After:
$message = " " . $message . " ";
put:
$message = preg_replace('~\[img(.+?)\](.+?)\[/img\]~s', '', $message);
I haven't checked the regex is right but it shouldn't hurt to try. That will just strip out [img] tags... I think. I'll try remember check when I get home
Checked it and it seemed ok, but when I tried it again it showed me a (very) big image and a ruined layout.
Maybe you'll find the time to check it when you get home ;)
Thanx !
Did you try the same thing the second time? Were you just using [img] tags, or other attributes? What bout if you make it this?
$message = preg_replace('~\[img(.+?)*\](.+?)\[/img\]~s', '', $message);
I was using the same line and no other attributes. With this new code it gives me the same big picture.
I use :
[img]http://www.karinhexspoor.nl/images/introfoto2copy.jpg[/img]
Note that this will obviously only work for *new* messages, not existing ones. The below doesn't work?
function Shout()
{
global $db_prefix, $user_info, $settings, $modSettings, $txt, $user_info, $sourcedir;

//Put a space in front of the message - so we can just enter 1 smiley. We make up for it in the display

Nope, it doesn't work............
mine doesn't work, too ...
I just installed "Ultimate Shoutbox"; everything worked fine - but no changes. Cannot find this "Shout"-button.
Had a look in Admin area. There's a new tab underneath tab "Karma", but it is absolutely blank. Some checkboxes and fields, but no text.
Maybe this problem occurs because I am using german language for my board?
Kind regards,
Ravey76
you need to add '.smfshout().' to your BoardIndex.template.php file ;)
Hello Jerry,
thank you for your quick reply.
Can you tell me where to place exactly this '.smfshout().' ? Is this a button?
Thanks in advance,
Ravey76
Ravey76, you have to put that code :
smfshout()
somewhere in your template. You decide yourself where you want it.....
And, it works for me, I was talking about the [ img] tags, so don't say it doesn't work for you either, ok ?
Ravey76,
Because you are using German you need to open English.modifications.php and copy and paste all the language entries to do with the shoutbox into German.modifications.php
Webby, Apologies, the line with str_replace on should be:
$message = preg_replace('~\[img.*?\].+?\[/img\]~is', '', $_POST['message']);
Sorry it took so long to get a working reply!
Well, it works and that is what counts ! Thanx again.
Now for another challenge : would it be possible to make it so that you can use another smileyset ? I mean, the smileys are too big actually for the shoutbox, so I thought it would be fun if you could use very small smileys. It would take a lot of coding wouldn't it ;) ?
@ Grudge:
Yes, now that point works. I added the stuff from English.modifications.php to the egrman one and now the Shoutbox-settings appear in admin area.
about that code-stuff Jerry mentioned ... still trying and going crazy.
It works ... somehow ... but still need to figure out where's the best place to put it in ...
Ravey
Webby, this is a bodge but after this:
$row['message'] = doUBBC($row['message']);
Add:
$row['message'] = preg_replace('~/' . $user_info['smiley_set'] . '/~is', '/shoutsmiley/', $row['message']);
Then create a new smiley set and call it "shoutsmiley", hopefully the code is obvious enough to see what it's doing?
Ravey76, once you have the shoutbox appearing you've done the hard bit, now you just need to decide how you want your HTML to fit around it. There are lots of examples of integrations on peoples sites you can steal. My site (www.p0stwh0res.com/smf) has one such example, look at the source to get some HTML ideas

Wow, that works perfectly ! Great, and thanx for you quick reply ;)
Is there a way to make the shout autorefresh every how many seconds?
you would have to make your whole page refresh, just add a meta refresh to your index.template.php with the meta tags. . .
iight thanks
what I'm doing wrong ???, I have installed mod and now when I put ', smfshout(), ' in index.templates.php that template stops working
You only use :
smfshout()
I guess ? Without a comma and such ?
so if I want to put shoutbox right side of my board, what I must put to index.template.php besides smfshout()?
You will have to work with tables ......
I had tried ',smfshout(),' but in the end I had to use '.smfshout().'
@perti, you will have to edit the boardindex.template.php
', smfshout(), ' does depend on where you put it. Basically you can try these two things, one will definetly work:
' . smfshout() . '
OR
smfshout();
Just depends where you are putting it.
so where I must put it in BoardIndex.tempöate.php
If you put it in boardindex.template.php it will only be shown on the main page of the forum, put it in index.template.php otherwise. The best thing to do is trial and error - I can't tell you how to template your forum. Basically, load up whichever file you want to use, and put in the smfshout() code I put above "somewhere". Then load up the page and see how it looks, once you have it working you can think about where you want to position it (Down the left, up the top etc).
very nice mod.
@ Grudge:
Nice mod; I got it installed finally. But unfortunately I don't know how to "design" (don't know other word) the ShoutBox.
-> If I place the ShoutBox in a table cell, it "destroys" the whole table (of "InfoCenter" on the bottom of my forum)
-> If I create a separate cell (and set ShoutBox in AdminArea to small for testing purposes; 50*100 pixels) -> even in this case it breaks my table construction
Then I placed an additional vertical column and placed the shoutbox-code there -> whole table breaks up ...
What can I do?
I saw a nice page with the shoutbox on the left side (I think it was yours); shoutbox was in a small, vertical box -> how do you solve this problem?
Thanks in advance,
Ravey76
Easiest way, open up index.template.php and find:
<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"><tr>
<td id="bodyarea" style="padding: 1ex 20px 2ex 20px;">';
Change to:
<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"><tr>
<td width="120">', smfshout(), '</td>
<td id="bodyarea" style="padding: 1ex 20px 2ex 20px;">';
My template is more complicated that this but you get the idea.
hey Grudge,
how this shoutbox with <iframe></iframe> tags?
please, can you help me?
Ex.:
<iframe src="SSI.php?ssi_shoutbox"></iframe>
But don't work these example...
Not sure why you'd really want this, but anyway. You'd have to make a dummy PHP page called, for example, shout.php containing:
<?php
include('SSI.php');
ssi_shoutbox();
?>
(May not be exactly right but you get the idea, basically enough to just show shoutbox on an SSI page)
Then link to this with the iframe.
EDIT: Ignore me! The problem is it has to be SSI.php?ssi_function=shoutbox not what you put
Oh no. I not want this. Ex.: i click the "shout" button, but page didn't refesh. can this?
If you put it in an iframe then it wouldn't refresh, that's the whole point of it. Or do you mean the shoutbox doesn't refresh?

Ups, now working... Thanks Matt
I think Midgard means that they want to be able to make a shout without it refreshing the whole page.. .
shoutbox dont work with mine. my version is rc2
What does it say? Bear in mind all my mods are now verified for 1.0 Final, and not the current RC version - although they should still work.
nothing says it just there no effect after i upload the shoutbox mod nothing happen i dont see any shoubox in my forum
Did you manually edit the theme file where you want to add it? you need to add ', smfshout() ,' or '. smfshout() .' some where in your themes( a spot you choose.)
oh i didnt do that lol i dont know it should put that code. by the way where do i put that?
I recommend BoardIndex.template.php, I would check the rest of this post for more specific info ;)
ok thanks dude.
I was wondering - as this gets asked all the time is there anyone who would mind posting the code that they changed on their install in the end, along with maybe a screenshot? I'd love to start a thread with maybe 5 example imlpementations of the shoutbox in different places with the corresponding code to help people. The problem is I can't make adding it part of the package as it just won't work in like 50% of cases because people use different themes and/or at the very least aren't using the "default" directory one. So if anyone has some code snippets and a screenshot if you could post them here (OR email me) I'll open a "Showcase" type thread somewhere and link to it from my mod install screen.
hi,
I'm completely lost on installing this. It's quite different installing mods in this sofware then phpBB, vBulletin, or IPB (which i'm used to).
I installed the package, but don't see anything on the main board. A couple posts above it says add '. smfshout() .' or ', smfshout(), ' but i'm getting a parse error....0_o.
Some instructions on how to install this would be nice for newbies like myself who are not accustomed to the SMF coding....
Thanks.
Does anyone have a 'demo' of this on their forums I can take a look at?
Thanks :)
http://www.raclan.org/forums . . . . I have the mod running on my forums ;)
Unstable Fears,
You add that code to one of your templates like index.template.php, whereever you want it to appear. If you get a parse error use:
smf_shout();
Instead
nvm problem fixed :)

}Was used in a default theme "look alike"
Well ive installed the MOD seems to be there fine and the table is there in the Sql but it wont show up on the board anywhere... im new to SMF but have used ipb etc for years but this line in the help file threw me.
"Anywhere in your template call the function smfshout() to show the shoutbox"
wat does this mean...am i just being thick ?
help please :)
Sy :-X
Basically, you need to add it to the template so it actually appears. Different people want it to appear in different places, so I can't really say where's best to put it (Hence I don't try as part of the mod). If you read through this thread (I know it's long!), there will be some good examples of where people have added it in the past. It's a simple case to actually get it to appear - but you'll want to put some HTML around it so it looks pretty. There is an example above your post, but loads others throughout the topic. If you get really stuck just add smfshout() to your index template (As per the instructions), and move it around until it looks nice :)
isnt there an option to restrict shouts to members/admins im sure ive seen it before but i cant find it under edit features and options
thanks
check Admin -> Edit Permissons -> (usergoup) -> search for shout
one little question grudge i upgraded to your 1.21 shoutbox version and before i saw this little pic (http://www.forumzoneru.25.com1.ru/Themes/default/images/deleteshout.gif) to in main index but now i see it only in shoutbox page where there is the list of all messages
this is normal in new version ?
Trying to install the shoutbox package. Tells me some files are not writeable.
I first try the ftp option, entering the correct ftp information and it didn't do anything except return back to the install actions screen with no message whether it worked or not (I'm assuming not since it still shows 1 thru 4 without the word success.
So then I go change all the files to 777 in the terminal using chmod, as well as move the relevant files to the proper places based on the image below. Come back and hit proceed and still tells me some files need to be made writeable.
Any ideas?
here's what I have after I hit proceed (ftp info removed intentionally):
(http://www.lyzrd.com/modthingy.gif)
You're probably using the wrong FTP information. Make sure you're using the correct:
- server: almost always localhost.
- port: very very likely 21.
- username/password: these you've probably got right ;).
- path: the path you see *IN YOUR FTP CLIENT*. Often, /public_html/forum/.
Remember, on most servers, the path looks like this:
/home/username/public_html/forum/
*However*, when you log into FTP, you just see:
/public_html/forum/
So that's the only part you put here.

Grudge,(or anyone else who can answer) I am trying to install the shoutbox on some forums, I worked around this one time but cannot seem to find how I did it.
I am trying to do this (without the class info for less typing. .)
<td><div>'.smfshout().'</div></td>
but when you view the page it comes up as
(shows the shoutbox)<td><div></div></td>
anyone know how to fix that? I read the thread and couldn't find anything. ..
It will do that if you don't have <tr>s around it properly.
-[Unknown]
well its like this. .
<tr>
<td> shoutbox</td>
<td>another one. . .</td>
<td>another. . </td>
</tr>
I was just giving you the line that the box was in ..
Oh. You also want to use commas instead of dots (so it's output at the right time.)

Hey im haveing problems with this shoutbox like if I put the code for it on the page it wont reconize it and if I went to index.php?actions=shout_archive it will be there but you cant post help me out here is there an URL just for the shout box thats accesable
Thank you [Unknown] for helping me with that :), on fresh installs of the shoutbox mod on SMF1.0 I get this error when viewing the error log:

read and apply the unknown istructions and you will solve.

It looks like it's because I use the "old" index.template.php ?!
It shows me this :

OK goto EhDeals.com I have text that says the code I put it in boardindex.template.php and I dont know why it dont work plz help
I've moved
// Now do the printing...
loadTemplate('shout');
// Run the template!
template_shout_form();
to the top of the shoutbox, and that's why it goes wrong......
actually I think its a database error visit EhDeals
No, it is when I move the above code to the top. So : how can I put the input box to the top of the shoutbox ?
can someone tell me the code so I can make it an inline frame instead
I'm getting an internal server error when I try to set the shoutbox to ascending order. Any ideas?
I'm also getting tons of errors in my error log:
One of these every time someone clicks a link:
8: Undefined variable: user_info

And up to ten of these (depending on how many posts there are to the shoutbox):

QuoteI'm getting an internal server error when I try to set the shoutbox to ascending order. Any ideas?
Sorry, I've been away for the New Year. I've uploaded a version 1.22 which should fix the canDelete stuff. The internal server error I expect may be because your server doesn't support temporary tables?
The other problems may come as a result of some of this. Please update the mod and then report back :)
Thanks, 1.22 works fine. However, I noticed in posts at SMF you will see "Click Here" which is connect to a Http link so when you click , it takes you there.
Reason for asking... When you try a link in the shout box, it breaks the link and is non functional. So, I was thinking, "IF" everywhere in a post or the shout box, it saw Http, it would mask it with "Click here". Is this something that can be done? would be great for the shout box...( Unless I miss somewhere how This could be done)
Thanks.
I believe the patch has been applied already.
/me smiles and thanks someone else around here ;)
The server does indeed support temp tables. I contacted the host and was instructed to start a new subuser and password. Evidently there were many subuser accounts that were corrupted. All works great now. Thank you :)
Where can I increase the char limit? Currently it seems to be 57.
Thanks.

Code replace with What would I put here
is this available in SSI yet?
I'd like to get rid of my stand alone Shout box and use one linked to the forum but on my main page.
;D
andyat will need to use SSI. Atari, the shoutbox has always worked with SSI!
www.p0stwh0res.com/smf/ssi_examples.php
You can see it in action above
OMG when did that happen? I read a lot of this thread but admit not all of it. What version is this mod currently working in and/or is it part of it now? I haven't attempted to upgrade mine from RC1 yet
ok re read them all again :P
can someone show me what code n where to put it on my index template? Im having issues following this thread as i aint very good at coding or php. If someone could just type me the code n show me where to place it i would be very grateful :)
Ive tried loads but keep getting load errors. I am wanting it to be jus below the main board section, just above the users online list..
<table>
<tr>
<td>
', smfshout(), '
</td>
</tr>
</table>
is this the code i have to enter? n if so where?
is sum1 cud jus show me a working example it would be great :)
here is how I have mine:
http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=8415.msg176923#msg176923
and an example is here:
http://www.raclan.org/forums
OK fianally went through all the upgradein but I can't get the shout to show. I checked the settinga and can't finad any place to "enable" it. I'm trying to put it in an Iframe with this code.....
<IFRAME ID="Shout" NAME="ShoutName" SRC="smf/SSI.php?ssi_function=shoutbox"
WIDTH="190"
HEIGHT="2000"
MARGINWIDTH="5"
MARGINHEIGHT="5"
HSPACE="5"
VSPACE="0"
FRAMEBORDER="1"
SCROLLING="no"
ALLOWTRANSPARENCY="true">
</IFRAME>
Any ideas what I'm missing? :'(
Sample page : http://www.oldskoolgamers.com/index2.php
The ssi_function should be shout, not shoutbox I believe - see here:
http://www.p0stwh0res.com/smf/SSI.php?ssi_function=shout
Would you mind if I wrapped a module around it on the portal I am making (http://www.overminddl1.com)? It would still be required to install your mod, the module would just access, display, etc... It would actually be easier to build it into a standalone module, but for the sake of all, I'd just wrap what I needed.
As long as the credit is still there in some form (Both to myself and Greg Haase who actually made the original - only from a install point of view), and the portal is built for SMF then that is perfectly fine with me :)
OK got it running. Next question is how do I get the view all/(orwhen you click on someones name) to open in it's own window and not in the iframe? Also can I edit the template for just the shout? I'd like to getthe color scheme with the rest of the website. Black background with white and red text. Looking at the shout.php but not sure what is controling the style.
<edit>
I know if I don't use iframe it will take my formating from my page but I like the "safety" of the iframe. ( it wont break my template if some one post large picture or the like)
</edit>
you can see them both right now at www.oldskolgamers.com/index2.php
iframe and below it is without iframe.
I know the shout.template needs edited but i can't tell what effects what as far as style.
Perhaps adding this to settings in next release? ;)
*Oh and for Unknown why do I keep losing my images? My signature here, has a picture that is linked from my forum yet it gives me the big 'ol X after a few days. I still works On my forum ??? ???
Okay perhaps I'm dense but I don't understand how I get the shoutbox to show. David kindly installed the mod, upgraded it and everything, and I see in the Admin Center how I can work with the features to tweak the shoutbox. But, how do I get it to appear on my forum? Do I gotta type like <SMFShout> somewhere in the template or something?
',smfshout(),'
look on page 8 of this thread for one example that I posted, this makes it show on the left of the forum. . . but it gives you the idea :)

Where can I increase the char limit? Currently it seems to be 57.
Thanks.
Just bumping this question, which I also want to change.
I also have other questions that have been asked, but no answer yet
1. Can the smilies be added via a pop-up select box, and
2. Can the code be made to automattically recognise and format links.
This is a very nice mod, which I have running on a site, showing on all pages, including an integrated coppermine gallery.
Many thanks.
Atari,
I'm not sure how you get View All to open in the main window. The idea of a iframe is the window acts like a seperate browser window, so honestly have no idea - except you'd probably need to use javascript to achieve it. Otherwise could you put view all outside of the iframe?
Styles use the same name as the SMF classes (titlebg, windowbg, catbg). Text also uses a class called smtxt, but this isn't defined as part of the mod. If I were you instead of having the src of the iframe SSI.php itself, I'd create a "dummy" php file called something like shoutbox.php, and have this include SSI.php and also put a inline stylesheet at the top of it, something like:
<?php
include_once('SSI.php');
<STYLE SHEET STUFF HERE>
ssi_shoutbox();
?>
I don't know where the character limit is coming from, apart from this line in shout.template.php:
<input type="text" value="', $txt['shoutbox_8'], '" name="message" size="16" maxlength="100" onfocus="if (this.value == \'', $txt['shoutbox_8'], '\')this.value=\'\'" /><br />
If you make maxlength = 500 does it still have a limit?
I think it should automatically do links, not sure why it isn't - BBC works though doesn't it?

Thanks for the info. I tried that but kept receiving an error message. David investigated, and fixed the issue, seems I didn't have an echo statement in there (I don't know the PHP so that causes problems) plus there were some other issues he resolved. I did notice, and it could have been just for me, but putting the shoutbox in a table in my sidebar caused the forum to go wonky. This could have been just for my forum or it could be for all that were migrated from YaBBSE. The contents were squished to the right and two tables, above the shoutbox, spanned the entire width of the page. I effected the easy resolution of putting the shoutbox at the bottom of the forum. Not my favorite spot for one but I'll likely move it to its own page in the near future when I get the no sidebar theme operational.
I posted this under Support, but perhaps it will be more appropriate here:
I uninstalled Ultimate ShoutBox from the Package Manager and I got this error message:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: smfshout() in /home/user/domains/mydomain.com/public_html/smf/Sources/Load.php(1036) : eval()'d code on line 286
I can't access the forum anymore, so I can't access the admin settings to see what happened. Any ideas? Thanks.
Visit your forum using ?theme=2 in the URL (To temporarily change to the "classic" theme). Then go to admin -> Theme settings and options -> Select Default theme => Edit index.template.php
Then remove the call to smfshout()
Ok, Matt - that did it. I commented out the line calling smfshout() earlier, but I guess that doesn't work.
Another question: I already uninstalled the shoutbox, but I'm still seeing it in my features and options - how can I get rid of it? A look at Package Manager says it's not installed anymore (no green box). Incidentally, the main reason why I deleted it in the first place is because I had two ShoutBox/es in my features and options page - is that normal?
Ummm... no. You obviously installed it twice in error. The result of this is that it hasn't uninstalled correctly. Not sure what mess your files may be in, personally I'd recommend just uploading a new modSettings.php IF you don't have any mods installed. Otherwise edit the modSettings.php file on your server and remove the references to the shoutbox area (Search for shout and remove the chunk of stuff there)

I think it should automatically do links, not sure why it isn't - BBC works though doesn't it?
Sorry, they do work, a breakdown in understanding at this end.
Thanks for a great mod. You can see the install I've set up here (http://www.photo-sense.co.uk/gallery2/home.php?), which is smf/coppermine integrated site, with the shoutbox on every page. Please note this is still under construction and testing, and only open to the management team of the site, so please don't register.
To answer the earlier question about iframes, I could not get coppermine to accept the ssi method, so used the exact method you suggested above, called it into a blank php page within coppermine, and then called that page from the iframe.
I had to add the formating to the new php file for IE to show the correct styles, and change the links to target="blank", and it now all works perfectly.

It doesn't show the right smilies in the "shout-archive", how can I change that too ?
Hi
Can somebody help me...and give detailed info on how to install ultimate shoutbox mod manually.
I cant use Package Manager ...my host is safe mode :(
I have SMF 1.0 RC2
I have done that, but after I get something about the subs file and the forum dosent work anymore...
I have done so I`m not in safe mode now, but now I get this when I tried to install Ultimate Shoutbox from the package manager...
Fatal error: packageinstall(): Failed opening required '/home/virtual/site89/fst/var/www/html/smf/Packages/temp/shoutPdb.php' (include_path='.:/php/includes:/usr/share/php') in /home/virtual/site89/fst/var/www/html/smf/Sources/Packages.php on line 437
I test to install the mods SMF Arcade from the package manager and this install fine...
What do I wrong :(
how much sql space any server bandwidth does this use per shout?
SQL space is minimal, less than a message on your board. Bandwidth will obviously depend on how many views your site gets. I'd estimate with all the HTML etc you'd be sending 1kB of data per page load to the user (8 shouts at 100 characters plus HTML around it). The main thing is it will add an extra query to your page load, but that doesn't effect space nor bandwidth.
I tried using the package manager to install the shoutbox and it dosnt show up anywhere on my board. The settings thing in the admin panel works but when i am viewing my board it dosnt show up anywhere.
You need to manually add smfshout() to your templates to make it appear (As only you can decide WHERE you want it to show). Read this thread for lots of ideas and comments on this. :)
what template file do i put the
smfshout()
function?
Ok, I am trying to add the Shout Box to my DGS Under the Menu with the same type Box as the menu on the index.template.php ... I want it so up on every page under the menu.
Although, I am not sure where to put it.
// Show the menu here, according to the menu sub template.
echo '<table id="menu_background" width="100%" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td align="left" valign="top"><img border="0" src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/layout/dg_menu_left.gif" width="25" height="28" alt="left" /></td>
<td align="center" valign="bottom"><a href="#" onclick="shrinkHeader(!current_header); return false;"><img id="upshrink" src="', $settings['images_url'], '/', empty($options['collapse_header']) ? 'upshrink.gif' : 'upshrink2.gif', '" alt="*" title="', $txt['upshrink_description'], '" style="margin: 3px; 0;" border="0" /></a><img id="upshrinkTemp" src="', $settings['images_url'], '/blank.gif" alt="" style="margin-right: 1ex;" />'; template_menu();
echo '</td>
<td align="right" valign="top"><img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/layout/dg_menu_right.gif" width="25" height="28" alt="right" /></td>
</tr>
</table><br />';
}
I have tried and tried everything, anyone care to take a shot ?? Basically I am looking to add a identical Box like the menu under the menu with the shout box in it.

Another Quick Question? I would like to Format the "Shouts" from center to LEFT so all the little X's line up on the left. Where can I edit this??
<div align="left">Shout</div>
<span style="float: left">Shout</span>
e.g.
Quote from: Midgard on January 18, 2005, 05:41:49 AM
<div align="left">Shout</div>
<span style="float: left">Shout</span>
e.g.
Tried, although maybe we are not putting in the same place or right place? Where do I need to change or add this? I added and changed in index.template, although thinking maybe in another file?Solved: If anyone else is intrested, in shout.template.php on or around line 76
Search
echo '
<center>';
// Scrolling?
Replace
echo '
<left>';
// Scrolling?
Maynot the the RIGHT way to do this, but it worked the way I wanted.
I have a new idea here, is it possible to make the senders name the Color defined in the users group? Example on our site, Admins are a RED. I would like to make it where when a Admin posts something in the Shout their name would be that Red Color.
I would also like to change the color of the text somehow. I have an ideas for this;
First would alternate the text colors. Just two colors would be needed to kinda separate the texts. Alternative would be to Bold line 1 and NonBold on line 2. Alternating Bold/nonBold on each line.
Thanks for any help! :)
edit:
Sorry for the Double Post, I could have swore there was another post there after mine.
This is the 4th MOD i'd tried to install, but again, troubles.......It installs allright, but ONLY in the default theme....So now I'm stuck with empty fields in the settings page in the forum (Features and Options).......Why is this??? And how to solve it?
You need to open the .mod file, and find files that are in the Theme/ directory. Open those files and make manual edits to those files as instructed in the .mod file...
Currently all packages will only modify the default templates. So if you have another theme you will need to modify it yourself.
Maybe someone else can explain this better for you. If this is the FIRST time you have done this, it will be a little scary and overwhelming. But it is way easier than it looks at first. Also, make a BACKUP of the file you are going to edit so if you mess up, and you will, you can start over.
If you need some help, I can try to help you some more. Again in this mod you have to add the SSI function to where you want the shoutbox.
Actually, on the shoutbox you needn't make any changes. 9210, would the empty fields be because you're using a different language that isn't english??
If you read this thread you'll find plenty of examples on how to get the shoutbox to show, it basically just requires you to add smfshout() to your template - it's mentioned so many times in this topic it's not funny :D
I changed the language to English and the options appeared. Tried to install it again, but for me, (a real PHP n00b), it's just too much of a hassle to get it working. Too much template changing etc, to afraid to ****** something up....Oh well....just got to live with it, I guess...... :'( :'(
Shouldn't have tried to install it twice. Basically, the two things you needed to do are:
1) With it installed using ftp go into your forum directory then Themes/default/languages/Modifications.english.php and COPY this will to Modifications.language.php where language is the name of the langauge you are using. That will make the options always appear in your language.
2) In your theme, open up index.template.php, and add:
<div>' . smfshout() . '</div>
Somewhere in the file near where you think you want it. If doing that gives you an error change it to say:
echo '<div>' . smfshout() . '</div>';
Then you'll have to play with it to get the HTML to work, but it's a start.

I had the same problem, its how you are using the shout function. All depends on where you are putting it in the code.
This worked well for me. Although, it might not work, so you will have to play with it to make it work.
// Shout Box Start
echo '
<tr>
<td class="catbg" colspan="2">"Shout Outs"</td>
</tr><tr>
<td class="windowbg2" align="left" colspan="2"><span class="smalltext">', smfshout(), '</span></td>

Installed it on 1.0.1.. nothing changed except for the admin.. There is a shout box variable drop down menu.. However, browsing the board, nothing that says 'Shout Box' from a user stand point..
Any help? Or am I just a 'Dork Fish'?

you need to add it to your theme manually. with ',smfshout(),' you can check this post for some examples... :)

Thanks.. I suppose I should RTFM before I ask a 'Dork Fish' question. LOL..
I did not realize there was a variable involved. The package manager said 'Pack installed successfully' so i just figured it would 'work'.. ROFL!! I've been doing this long enough to realize that is never the case. ;)
I DO love the software.. and the community is the best..

I mentioned I am not sure about anything... Just a noob trying to help. Can you post your Code where you have the smfshout() and the Function code from your SSI.PHP. I do recall that it isn't an error in the load.php. That I am sure about! :)
Hello ppl...
How do you make the shoutbox auto refresh every 1 minute or so?..
Is that possible?.. or do you have to autorefresh the whole page?..

Its a function, so you would have to refresh the whole page. Unless you wanted to put the Shoutbox in another empty file, set its refresh for 1 min, and add it to your forum page with a iframe or in-line code. This I have not tried but I have seen it work on other sites, and I was told this is how you do it.
Example:
include('/path/to/script/pages/shoutbox.html');This is place the Shoutbox into the template, Now I am not sure if this will refresh or not.
<iframe src="http://www.yourdomain.com/phpfiles/shoutbox.html" name="frame1" scrolling="no" frameborder="no" align="center" height = "300px" width = "300px">
</iframe>You'll need to adjust height/width to meet the size of the table you have generated. This should work on most HTML 4.0+ compliant browsers.
These are just same type codes, you will need to edit them to look right and show the refresh. If they will not auto refresh, then I would add a little "Refresh" button into the Box on the Iframe option. then it will just refresh what is inside the frame.
i ve put the shoutbox at the bottom (between copyright and loadtime) ... i made changes in index.template.php....
around line 283:
// The main content should go here. A table is used because IE 6 just can't handle a div.
echo '
<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"><tr>

<span class="smalltext">', $txt['smf301'], $context['load_time'], $txt['smf302'], $context['load_queries'], $txt['smf302b'], '</span>';
echo '
</div>';
What function, lines do you want to know of my ssi.php file....??
greetzz
// Show shoutbox!
<table>
<tr>
<td>
' , smfshout() , '
</td>
</tr>
</table>
First thing I can see is there is NO echo ' statment. If you are putting html into PHP you need to echo it.
// Shout Box Start
echo '
<tr>
<td class="catbg" colspan="2">"Shout Outs"</td>
</tr><tr>
<td class="windowbg2" align="left" colspan="2"><span class="smalltext">', smfshout(), '</span></td>
</tr>';
Also, you are placing a table inside of a table here, I am not sure of what skin you are using, but this might now look / work right. I added mine under tha users online section.
At the bottom of your SSI.php you will see somthing like
function ssi_smfshout ($message_id = null, $output_method = 'echo')
Everything after that untill '; This is the Function you are trying to call up in the template file.
"Shout Outs"
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: smfshout() in /home/champi.nl/www/smf/Sources/Load.php(1040) : eval()'d code on line 300
i followed your advise with echo... was forgotten that... i am sorry...
i still got the same error message... perhaps something else went wrong...
i also do not see the specific rule in the ssi.php file.. i had to install everything manually.. do i also have to modify that file...add that rule? i am a little confused... perhaps you can post me an example of the default template... and ssi file.. i can check then what the real problem is..
i use the black template...
thanx for your time..
Check your .mod file:
<edit file>
SSI.php
</edit file>
<search for>
?>
</search for>
<add before>
function ssi_shout()
{
global $sourcedir;
include_once("$sourcedir/shout.php");
shout_display();
shout_form();
}
</add before>
<edit file>
ssi_examples.php
</edit file>
<search for>
<h3>Recent Calendar Events Function: <?php ssi_recentEvents(); ?></h3>
<?php ssi_recentEvents(); ?>
<hr />
</search for>
<add after>
<h3>Shoutbox: <?php ssi_shout(); ?></h3>
<?php ssi_shout(); ?>
<hr />
</add after>
If you didnt add this to the SSI.php then well that would explain a lot! lol
Here is my SSI.php entry:
function ssi_shout()
{
global $sourcedir;
include_once("$sourcedir/shout.php");
shout_display();
shout_form();
}
Maybe this will solve the problem! :)
you are right... i will give it a good try now... that package manager is confusing..... better do everything manual... ;)

Well in this case if you used the Manager with the auto install, I assumed you did, it would have automatically changed what you needed. The problem most people have with the manager is that it only changes the "default" theme files. You have to change the custom themes your self.
I always try to use the manager because a theme that does not use a specified file, ie SSI.php, it will use the information in the default theme. This makes your install a lot easier. Just locate the /$themedir/ files in the .mod file and see what ones are in your theme and only edit those.
An example is I installed a message bar showing how many PMs are used out of allowed. The files that required a change were not found in any of my themes except the default. Well Once I changed the default files it appeared in EVERY theme I have installed. This make sense?
you are right... but the problem with my package manager is that it does not edit the files... it says succes but there is no succees... i am sure that i ve the good ftpdetails and the maps are chmodded correctly...

I am lost to what you need to know? Its all in the thread, Find where you want it, and Add your Function, ssi_smfshout. Poof Done... Tweak it a little and make it perfect.
You want it on the top, add it to the top!
What I would like to kow is the code of how to add it to the top i said I am new to this all I want to know is the code to add it to the top if anyone could and I showed a example of what I want it to look like :)
// Shout Box Start
echo '
<tr>
<td class="catbg" colspan="2">"Shout Outs"</td>
</tr><tr>
<td class="windowbg2" align="left" colspan="2"><span class="smalltext">', smfshout(), '</span></td>
</tr>';
This is my code and has worked on 7 themes. If this doesn't work there are at least 30 other versions 'IN THIS THREAD' to look at and use... These are all examples. of course you need to modify it to what you want on your site.
Ok great I would like my shoutbox exactly like yours but at the top of my forum would it be possible for you to set tyhat code so it would do that? and where abouts do I put this code aswell? Thanks for all your help. :)

No this isn't possible for me to do, I don't know your templates, theme, or what you think is right. This is what you NEED to do for your site.. This code will work at the top as it is on my site. I had it there, didn't like it, moved it.
But not there is no way *I* can do that for you... I wouldn't have any idea where to start or what to code with out knowing your templates.
Hi there,
i have just one question regarding this mod.
1. Is it possible to install it with the package manager?
I'm sorry, but i found so many instructions on how to install this mod but i dont know
which one is the definite one...
I tried it again and again and after setting alle chmod's i still get stuck with this error:
2: copy(index.php~): failed to open stream: Permission denied
Datei: /home/www/einsweb/_md/mad-d-sign.com/smf/Sources/Subs-Package.php
Zeile: 1285
Any Ideas?
regards
Nico
Ok,
took me lots of tries but i figured it out...
i had to uncheck the "create backups ... with character (~) at the end" checkbox
under "install options".
Seems my server has a problem with such filenames...
anyway
maybe this helps someone else
regards
Nico
All the confusion!
is becuase people are calling the function ssi_smfshout
When it isnt that its ssi_shout...
<?php
// Shout Box Start
echo '
', ssi_shout(), '';
?>
how much shoutbox slow down forum ? how many question to mysql ?
But still ive used the ssi include...
And this..
<?php
// Shout Box Start
echo '
', ssi_shout(), '';
?>
And yet im still getting 1000's of error logs! Its killing my mysql datasbase with all the activity!
What shud i do :(

Never have used the SSI_Shout never heard of it, On my site we use ', smfshout(), ' and works just fine, no errors or anything.. There is NO SSI involved except in that fact that it uses the SSI File.
', smfshout(), ' if you look down a bit, I made a post that came DIRECTLY from my template code.

Hi there,
i just found a bug regarding the max characters function.
It won't work if you type one single word without spaces
and a length of more then three times of the maxlength setting.
Or with other words: When you type in one very long word and
have a quite low setting vor the maxlength seting the code will
do a maximum of 2 line breaks.
Example: max characterlength: 20
Break words after: 17
if you now type in a word of about 70 'W's this will happen:
wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww...
wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww...
wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
solution:
change (in shout.php)
while ($mlimit >= $mcounter)
{
$wordlength = strlen($message[$mcounter]);
if ($wordlength > $modSettings['shoutmaxchr'])
{
$firsthalf = substr($message[$mcounter], 0, $modSettings['shoutsplitchr']) . '...';
$secondhalf = substr($message[$mcounter], ($modSettings['shoutsplitchr'] - $wordlength));
$returned = array_splice($message, $mcounter, 1, array($firsthalf, $secondhalf));
}
$mcounter++;
}
to:
while ($mlimit >= $mcounter)
{
$wordlength = strlen($message[$mcounter]);
if ($wordlength > $modSettings['shoutmaxchr'])
{
$firsthalf = substr($message[$mcounter], 0, $modSettings['shoutsplitchr']) . '...';
$secondhalf = substr($message[$mcounter], ($modSettings['shoutsplitchr'] - $wordlength));
$returned = array_splice($message, $mcounter, 1, array($firsthalf, $secondhalf));
$mlimit = count($message) - 1;
}
$mcounter++;
}
If we add entries to the array then we should set the upper bound
again. right? ;)
regards
Nico

Well I dont know, but this is DIRECTLY from my boardindex.template.php file, and mine is working, so I am not sure what exactly is going on then.
// Shout Box Start
echo '
<tr>
<td class="catbg" colspan="2">"Shout Outs"</td>
</tr><tr>
<td class="windowbg2" align="left" colspan="2"><span class="smalltext">', smfshout(), '</span></td>
</tr>';
// If they are logged in, but SP1 style information is off... show a personal message bar.
if ($context['user']['is_logged'] && !$settings['show_sp1_info'])
{
echo '
<tr>
<td class="catbg" colspan="2">', $txt[159], '</td>
</tr><tr>
<td class="windowbg" width="20" valign="middle" align="center">
<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=pm">
<img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/message_sm.gif" alt="', $txt[159], '" border="0" /></a>
</td>
<td class="windowbg2" valign="top">
<b><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=pm">', $txt[159], '</a></b>
<div class="smalltext">
', $txt[660], ' ', $context['user']['messages'], ' ', $context['user']['messages'] == 1 ? $txt[471] : $txt[153], '.... ', $txt[661], ' <a href="', $scripturl, '?action=pm">', $txt[662], '</a> ', $txt[663], '
</div>
</td>
</tr>';
}
So maybe ignore the SSI.php and use
', smfshout(), ' and see if that eliminates the errors and works for you also.
i tried to install it and kept getting erros about files, after chmodding them to 777 for the package manager to write to them i then got this error, in the white screen of death, lol, like the name?

RedAlert2 please read my post, it is right above RyanB's post.
Grudge, guess I wasn't the only one with this problem :-X
k, thnx, fixed it, but there isn't a shoutbox......... is there a way to make it show up?
again, read back further in this post.. it will tell you how to add the shoutbox to your forums :)
Grudge, about what we talked

mod work pefect you can see at forum.ocm.pl
thx :)
You should only be using ssi_shout() for SSI integration, I don't know how it will work as part of SMF.
I need to find some time to correct a few things with this so people have less problems in the future.
Is there a way to refresh the shoutbox without clickin refresh all the time? like when u go into a different section
Is there a way for making guest NOT see the shoutbox at all??..
I only got 2 options in the edit permissions panel.
"Can Shout"
"Remove Shouts"
So..You have to login..Then you will see the shoutbox..
hey! where is the shoutbox? my site is http://nl.he4t.com but where is my shoutbox. it said everything installed correctly. but i dont see it! please help
Ya know this thread is here to help you... Please Guys take the time to READ it...
There must be 50 posts on why your shout box does not show up. Simple answer, becuse you have not put in the smfshout line into your template.
Take a few mins and read part of the thread before you post the same thing over and over.
alisha! Everytime i install the shoutbox! When i click on permissionit gives me errors! This is 1 in particualr "{Fatal error: Cannot redeclare smfshout"() (previously declared in Sources/Subs.php:2025)"
please alisha can you install it for me
find
function smfshout()
{
global $sourcedir;
include_once("$sourcedir/shout.php");
shout_display();
shout_form();
}
there are two of them, remove one.
i installed the mod but i do not see it on my forums. i read through this and tried to do it but it still doesnt work. could anyone help me? my aim is mguin25
you must add ',smfshout(),' to your theme some where, it has been said in this topic and there is one example of how to do it also...
Quote<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"><tr>
<td width="120">', smfshout(), '</td>
<td id="bodyarea" style="padding: 1ex 20px 2ex 20px;">';
I tried it on the index.template.php just as grudge and I get this error
QuoteFatal error: Call to undefined function: smfshout() in /home/sacred/public_html/forum/Sources/Load.php(1040) : eval()'d code on line 286
:(
doesn't look like you installed the shoutbox mod all the way.
QuoteI have a new idea here, is it possible to make the senders name the Color defined in the users group? Example on our site, Admins are a RED. I would like to make it where when a Admin posts something in the Shout their name would be that Red Color.
This is what I want to do, but I haven't seen any solutions to this. I tried doing it the same way I did the topic names, etc. but it didn't work.
Hi - can anyone help a newbie please
I tried using package manager but couldnt get it to instal the mod, this is my first mod instal so maybe I just missed something obvious, anyway I decided to read the mod file and do a manual install.
I seem to have the done this reasonably well because the shout box is working in my default SMF template and appears at the top of my page ok
I decided to insert at the top of my board, using the BoardIndex.template.php (so it doesnt show on my login page) instead of index.template.php using the following statement.
// Shout Box Start
echo '
<tr>
<td class="catbg" colspan="2">"Shout Outs"</td>
</tr><tr>
<td class="windowbg2" align="left" colspan="2"><span class="smalltext">', smfshout(), '</span></td>
</tr>';
As I know very little of php I just read this thread over and over and followed some of the comments to get to this statement.
So now its there and I think its working basically ok but having not seen this shoutbox working before I have a few questions.
Is it possible to reduce the number of shouts so the box doesnt take up so much screen height?. I have a very small board so I thought maybe 6 or 8 messages would be enough.....
When I tested the shouts and reached the 9th message the box started 'quivering' as if it wants to scroll but doesnt - which is pretty distracting. On the 10th message it starts scrolling continually but goes pretty fast and again distracting. Mousing over the box stops the scrolling but it starts again as soon as the mouse leaves the area
Is this normal that the messages should scroll continually? - I expected the 11 th message just to appear at the top of the list and knock the bottom - oldest - message off.
Also - in the standard default SMF theme I find the text in the messages too small to read.
Can I reconfigure this along with other settings like the box background color and if so where or in which file?
Appreciate any help on this - and sorry if I appear completely ignorant - its mainly cos I am - LOL!
thanks
mexie
you can edit the number of shouts it shows on the admin panel, Admin Panel -> Edit Features and Options -> Shoutbox. You can also configure the scrolling here.
QuoteCan I reconfigure this along with other settings like the box background color and if so where or in which file?
take out the span=smalltext :)
Thanks Jerry - thats a great help - everything is now sorted and working fine ;)
As usual i missed the obvious with that Admin panel settings tip (arghh!) but now everything is now ok
Thanks to Grudge for this really useful mod and the great support from all in this thread
:)
Now for some help about the colors please :)
Wow - this is really working fine !!!
2 last questions (I hope) - with my shoutbox at the top of my home page - is there any easy way I can reduce the screen height a couple of lines by having the shout message input box - followed by the 'shout' button and then 'View All', all display on the same line (centred)?
Also how do I increase the width of the message input box - say to double its default size.
Thanks again
Moved my question to the Charter area.
Cool, I actually figured it out!!! 8)

does the shoutbox only run in YaBB SE Theme?
i have SMF Default Theme. want to have shoutbox in my forum but dont want to change the style :)
The ultimate shoutbox will work on any SMF theme... You must add it to the theme manually, please read this thread for examples and how to do it.

Hi blede - to save wading through all this thread (which I find a bit confusing to newbies) you could try the solution I found which I posted on the previous page (page 17). After installing the mod just insert this code into your theme's index.template.php - works fine for me ;)
mexie
I used the "Shoutbox on left" method explained in page 6 (i think) but all I get is a blank space, with a "View All" link at the bottom. What's going on?
EDIT: It appears that only admins can shout. Which makes me unable to shout, because I have a seperate "Owner" usergroup in my forum. Please help me. What is going on?
you must set permissions, Admin - Edit Permissions -> (usergroup) -> Shout
After 49minz of trying to edit the index.template.php file and failed :'( How the hell do I do it? there are no intructions ?
Thank You
there is an example for the default theme on page eight of this post, and there are many replies here that also tell you how you must add the shoutbox.
Grudge, maybe you should pick the FAQs for this mod and add them to the mod description. :P
Did anyone ever figure out how to "View All" on a new page?
EDIT: OK I figured out how to do that... :)
Also if anyone can also tell me how to put the User info on a new page too, it would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT: Sorted that out as well!! :)
Thanks
Sea Of Sin
Any chance of an 'idiot's guide to editing font size/color (and maybe the background color) of the shouts please ?
I've had various attempts but dont know enough about css, php etc: to know where to look
thanks
mexie
is there a way i can make the shoutbox auto-refresh or add a refresh button, this would be a great help rather than refreshing the whole page manually
cheers all
First of all thanks for the great mod :)
What is the best way to integrate the shoutbox to a popup window? Theoretically this is no problem, but I want just the shoutbox in the new window without calling the index.template. Before I start reading all the code I thought I'd ask here ;) Maybe someone can help me or has done something similar.
Thanks in advance :)

I have worked on that and the best way is to use the ssi function of the shoutbox. I just need it in button form on the forum. that is the problem I am having.
Here is what I did
in the main page of the website I have
<script language="javascript">
function pop_window(ShoutBox) {
//remove a attribute if you don't want it to show up
var popit = window.open(ShoutBox,'console','menubar=no,toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,width=220,height=445');
}
</script>
<a href="javascript:pop_window('http://www.YOUR WEBSITE HERE/shoutbox.php','ShoutBox')">Shoutbox</a>
and in the pop up window
<?php
require("/home/USERNAME/public_html/forum/SSI.php"); ?>
<html>
<head>
<meta HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh"
CONTENT="30; URL=http://www.YOUR WEBSITE HERE/shoutbox.php","Shoutbox">
<body>
<?php ssi_shout(); ?>
</body>
</html>
Thanks
Sea Of Sin
Sea of Sin, thanks a lot :) The SSI function, should have thought about that...
To make your link a button use this:
<input type="button" onClick="javascript:pop_window('http://www.YOUR WEBSITE HERE/shoutbox.php','ShoutBox')" name="shoutbox_button" value="Shoutbox">
You can also assign a css class with the button (class="<insert class name>") and change the look of it.
OK thanks
And how can I put that onto the forum as a button as well. with the other buttons on the index page?
First of all, this is a great script. Looks great after I formated it like the News, User Info, or Key Stats boxes.
I put mine in the collapsable Header in the default template.
I need some help with further formating.
- How can I force Ultimate Shoutbox to use the member color? That way the Admin and Mods usernames would be different colors than the regular members.
ie. Admins : Red, Mods : Blue.
- How could I add a limited bb code helper to the Ultimate Shoutbox? Just Font Color, Bold, Italics, Underline, URL, Smilies.
Thanks for any help. 8)

IVe been working on making my forum and pages XHTML compliant and have so far got all errors sorted out apart from the marquee commands involved in the shout box.
Line 259, column 22: there is no attribute "direction"
<marquee direction="up" width="150"
QuoteYou have used the attribute named above in your document, but the document type you are using does not support that attribute for this element. This error is often caused by incorrect use of the "Strict" document type with a document that uses frames (e.g. you must use the "Transitional" document type to get the "target" attribute), or by using vendor proprietary extensions such as "marginheight" (this is usually fixed by using CSS to achieve the desired effect instead).
This error may also result if the element itself is not supported in the document type you are using, as an undefined element will have no supported attributes; in this case, see the element-undefined error message for further information.
How to fix: check the spelling and case of the element and attribute, (Remember XHTML is all lower-case) and/or check that they are both allowed in the chosen document type, and/or use CSS instead of this attribute.
and further errors include:
Line 259, column 33: there is no attribute "width"
<marquee direction="up" width="150"
Line 260, column 10: there is no attribute "height"
height="200" scrollamount="1"
Line 260, column 29: there is no attribute "scrollamount"
height="200" scrollamount="1"
Line 261, column 15: there is no attribute "scrolldelay"
scrolldelay="60" onmouseover="this.stop()" onmouseout="this.start()">
Line 261, column 32: there is no attribute "onmouseover"
scrolldelay="60" onmouseover="this.stop()" onmouseout="this.start()">
Line 261, column 57: there is no attribute "onmouseout"
scrolldelay="60" onmouseover="this.stop()" onmouseout="this.start()">
Line 261, column 71: element "marquee" undefined
...seover="this.stop()" onmouseout="this.start()">It recommends using CSS but so far I havent found anything online which will help me.
The line in question would be (in file shout.template.php):
// Scrolling?
if ($modSettings['enablescrollshout'] == 1)
echo '
<marquee direction="', $modSettings['shoutscrolldir'], '" width="', $modSettings['shoutscrollwidth'], '"
height="', $modSettings['shoutscrollheight'], '" scrollamount="', $modSettings['shoutscrollspeed'], '"
scrolldelay="', $modSettings['shoutscrolldelay'], '" onmouseover="this.stop()" onmouseout="this.start()">';Anyone have any ideas how to make this compliant to:
XHTML 1.0 Transitional ?
Thanks a lot :) :)
Well, marquee isn't valid xhtml... period.

OK,
I don't consider myself stupid, but this is getting the better of me. I get variouis errors no matter what I try. I'd like this to appear on every page, and am trying to add it to the default template. - The 'index.template.php' file.
<table>
<tr>
<td>
', smfshout(), '
</td>
</tr>
</table>
Anyway, I've tried the suggested code, and it breaks the template. I've tried adding 'echo' and 'echo '', but that doesn't work. HTML I understand, but this templateing is completely new to me. What do I need to add precisely to make this work?
I also tried this:
// Shout Box Start
echo '
<tr>
<td class="catbg" colspan="2">"Shout Outs"</td>
</tr><tr>
<td class="windowbg2" align="left" colspan="2"><span class="smalltext">', smfshout(), '</span></td>
</tr>';
That would actually display the shoutbox, but when I try to shout, it asks for me to fill in all fields, but I only have the shout field displayed!
Anyone?
Also, is there a tutorial anywhere to help with modifying the template?
Thanks.
Would someone please help me with adding a table to my site?
I installed the Ultimate Shoutbox Mod and I want it to show up on the right side of the Genreal category like I've seen on other sites. I'm guessing I need to add a table of some kind with the shoutbox code in it.
I'm not sure what to add or where to add it.

I've sorted this out. For some reason this only happens when I'm logged in with primary account. Such a silly thing wasted a lot of time for me! :(
Might be an idea to mention this with the first post.
Is there any way to have 'View All' as an input button. I'd like to move next to the Shout button, but you can't use URLs for an input button. What's the easiest solution, anyone?
Hi,
How do I go about calling the shouts separately from the the inputs underneath?
I'm trying to place the shoutbox in the header, but want just the shouts showing when the header is collapsed.
Anyone?
Thanks.
Anyone,
How do I go about calling shouts and inputs separately?
Thanks.
Since I can't install any mods through the packet manager (SAFE MODE), I had to do it manually.
Good explanation in the .mod file until I came to step 5
QuoteInstructions:
1. Upload shoutdb.php into your board directory and run it (be sure to delete it afterwards).
2. Install from this mod file manually or using boardmod
3. Upload shout.php into your sources dir.
4. Upload deleteshout.gif to your $themedir/images directory
5. Anywhere in your template call the function smfshout() to show the shoutbox
6. Go into the Feature Settings page and choose the appropriate settings
7. Type in a message and click Shout!
What does step 5 mean?
How do I do it?
And what do I do with the file
shout.template.php and
shoutPdb.php, that was in the archive?
There is no information on those.
Where is the Features Settings window?
All the other steps is done, but I can't get any further.. Help please...
sigh...
I'm using the default theme..
No matter what I use.. None of the code snippets work.
I get parse error, and when I don't get that error the box will not show.
To be frank, although this forum software looks great, and I'm sure it's far more powerful than any of the others, it suffers from very poor documentation. This software has to appeal to those with little software knowledge, but willing to give it a go with proper instructions, as well as coders.
What you need, I think, is to place the following in your template. I make no gaurentee, as it's only what I've picked up from scratching around.
You'll have to decide where to place this in your template, depending where you want the shoutbox to appear.
<table>
<tr>
<td>
', smfshout(), '
</td>
</tr>
</table>
Now that didn't work for me, until I found I needed an echo statement too, so it should be be like this, I think:
echo '
<table>
<tr>
<td>
', smfshout(), '
</td>
</tr>
</table>'
That seems to work for me on my test board, but it could well be technically wrong. Maybe I'm being a bit hard on this place, but it does seem a bit chiquey for what should be a popularist activity.
Most forums are run by non-coders, and lack of instructions drives us crazy! :(
The mod is lacking documentation, not the forum software (while it needs more documentation, it's not as lacking as you make it sound.) I don't see any Microsoft guides for "how to install Adobe Photoshop".
-[Unknown]
My criticism is meant constructively.
Why would Microsoft supply a guide for installing Photoshop? - Or is that your point? If so, I don't get it?
It seems that all the mods I've looked at so far are lacking documentation of any meaningful kind. Often essential information is missing for the newbie. It often seems that mods are written for other modders; that's how it appears to the outsider.
Although I can see this is far more powerful than YaBB, it is also far more complicated. It's a very steep learning curve, and some basic guide of how the software works and is structured would help a lot. I've looked at some of the guides, and they don't really give a feel for the SMF.
Don't get me wrong, I'm sticking with it, as it promises too much to walk away from it.

That is exactly my point. Microsoft = Simple Machines, Photoshop = the shoutbox. As much as it's used with Windows, it isn't part of Windows nor is it distributed by Microsoft. It is third party, in that sense.
While the package manager could use some more documentation, I personally feel many mods could use more documentation specific to them. Just by looking at some of these mods, I have no idea how they work. I've had to go into the code... and I shouldn't have to. I agree with you there.
Anything not specific to any particular mod, yes, should be better documented. And there are problems there, yes.... but the ones you're talking about are SPECIFIC to a THIRD PARTY product. You're asking us to write documentation for Photoshop.
-[Unknown]
Unknown, I think we are speaking at cross purposes a little. I'm not saying thay SMF is responsible for the documentation for the mods, although it would, of course, be in your interests to enocurage greater effort from the mod writers with documentation for their mods.
I have already noted that there is documentaion for the unmodded forum, but I think we are both agreed it needs to be improved upon. I also accept that it's a big job, almost as big as the job of creating the software itself by the looks of things. :)
I might even offer my services of writing some docs; that's when I understand things myself though! ;D I imagine SMF2 will be out by then!
Documentation... I'm working on it... I'm trying...
/me sighs :P
Aye, I'm not knocking anyone, honest. It's just meant as input and comment.

Hi,
How do I go about calling the shouts separately from the the inputs underneath?
I'm trying to place the shoutbox in the header, but want just the shouts showing when the header is collapsed.
Anyone?
Thanks.
Hi, can anyone help with this?
I've decided to just go with the shoutbox at the side of the forum for now, but I still need to call the shouts separately.
What I'd like to do is place the actual shouts in an iframe, and have that auto refresh. What would be really cool is if I can have this auto refresh at the end/beginning of each scroll cycle. If I use a timed refresh, it will keep interupting scrolls in progress.
When I've had a shoutbox in the past, it got used heavily within my forum, so a refresh like this would be very useful. I think it's a feature that might well appeal to many!
Thanks.
Hey...
www.knifey.branzone.com/forums/index.php
I installed the mod but cant find out where the shoutbox is...
The option is in the features and options, i just cant find the box itself.
Help would be appreciated.
Look at my reply a few posts before: reply 288. I cannot promise it's technically correct, but it works for me.

On page eight of this thread there is a post on how to add it to the left, not the same as the right... but if you know html you should know how to move it around :)
I did that just as it says... It's not working. Anyone know what I can do to get the shout box to show up in a table just to the right or left of the forum?
I do not know how to add the table or where to add it.
Ok, Im still not getting this..
I add:
echo '
<table>
<tr>
<td>
', smfshout(), '

</tr>
</table>'^^ That to where??
EDIT:
Ok, so i add it to the index.template.php in the themes folder (the default theme..which is Helios for my forum).
Now when i tried to add it somewhere i got the error:

You may want to try to refresh this page or use the default theme.
I'm so lost here. Which part of the index.template.php should i add the code to?

Hi,
This is what I did. It works, but it may be technically wrong. I had to use html sinse that's what I understand.
I use the default template, and changed this:
function template_main_below()
{
global $context, $settings, $options, $scripturl, $txt;
echo '</td>
</tr></table>';
// Show the "Powered by" and "Valid" logos, as well as the copyright. Remember, the copyright must be somewhere!
To this, to place the shoutbox to the right:
function template_main_below()
{
global $context, $settings, $options, $scripturl, $txt;
echo '</td>
<td height="21" valign="top" bgcolor="#D4D4D4"></td></tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top" bgcolor="#D4D4D4" width="100">
<table bgcolor="#828181" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td>
<table width="100%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0">
<tr><td bgcolor="#6B8EAE"><font color="#FFFFFF">Shoutbox</font></td>
</tr>
<tr><td valign="top" bgcolor="#F0F0F0">', smfshout(), '</td>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr></table>';
// Show the "Powered by" and "Valid" logos, as well as the copyright. Remember, the copyright must be somewhere!
And, change this:
<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"><tr>
<td id="bodyarea" style="padding: 1ex 20px 2ex 20px;">';
}
To this:
<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"><tr>
<td id="bodyarea" style="padding: 1ex 20px 2ex 20px;" rowspan="2">';
}
The only slight thing is the height of the shoutbox moves up and down a little depending on what part of the forum you are on. I think that it is something else causing that to happen.
If you want the shoutbox to the left, change this:
// The main content should go here. A table is used because IE 6 just can't handle a div.
echo '
<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"><tr>
<td id="bodyarea" style="padding: 1ex 20px 2ex 20px;">';
}
function template_main_below()
{
To this:
// The main content should go here. A table is used because IE 6 just can't handle a div.
echo '
<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"><tr>
<td valign="top" bgcolor="#D4D4D4" width="140" align="right">
<table>
<tr><td height="10"><td></tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top" bgcolor="#F0F0F0" cellpadding="0">', smfshout(), '</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
<td id="bodyarea" style="padding: 1ex 20px 2ex 20px;">';
}
function template_main_below()
{
They look slightly different as I decided to go with the right side option. You should be able to move the code around to change the appearence of one for the other.
I hope that helps, and if someone else would like to post the SMF way of doing these, I'd appreaciate that too!

Just to say, you have to place the shoutbox code in the template yourself. There is no shoutbox code to alter until you place it there! I hope my post above helps.
Hi there,
Sorry about not replying for the last 3+ pages, I've been extremely caught up in other things, and haven't had time to look at my mods. If you bump any replies from the past that still need answering I'll try to address them. Col, as far as I can see your HTML is OK. The reason it is probably moving is because of the valigns. I *think* that valign has to be put into a <tr> and not a <td>, but I may be wrong. For the shoutbox being to the right, I would change this line in template_above:
<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"><tr>
<td id="bodyarea" style="padding: 1ex 20px 2ex 20px;">';
To be this:
<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"><tr valign="top">
<td id="bodyarea" style="padding: 1ex 20px 2ex 20px;">';
From your HTML you seem to have the shoutbox nested in quite a few tables, but I assume this is because of the look you are going for more than anything?
I will admidt that documentation for the shoutbox is pretty thin, but for the most part there is no need for any coding knowledge, it's just a case of putting the function call in your template (And this is explained with the installation instructions I believe). It *does* require HTML knowledge though - because I obviously can't say where this call should be put. Some people want a shoutbox to the left, others the right, some above, some in info centre etc - everyone has a different preference. There are some good examples in this topic of placing it - but I guess this is now 20+ pages long - isn't easy for people to browse through :)
Cheers,
Grudge
Hiya Grudge,
I'll look at my code and check it's OK.
I know that a lot mods here require more work than say with YaBB, which is what I'm used to. The templating system is far more powerful than I'm used to, and more complicated too. I understand though, from reading some posts here, that attempts will be made to make modifying the template more simple in the future, especially for modders and their mods. - I hope this does happen with the next siginificant version, 1.1 perhaps.

Necassary to get the grey border and a 'Shoutbox' title bar to match the forum.
Grudge, any help with porting the shouts so that can be auto refreshed, as per my earlier post, would be appreciated.
Thanks.
for the shoutbox to the right, it puts mine on the bottom.
also, is there a way of getting it in the top section, next to the new and key stats?
Col,
What do you mean by auto-refresh? I looked at your earlier posts and couldn't quite put my finger on what you mean. IF you mean you want the shoutbox to refresh, say, every 5 seconds the only way I can see that working is by putting some kind of meta-refresh on the page- but that in itself would make the whole page reload every 5 seconds (Bad for replying to posts etc). What you *could* do is put the shoutbox in a iframe. This iframe has another page as the source which contains just a call to SSI.php, a call to ssi_shout(), and has a meta refresh every 5-10 seconds. This would mean just the shoutbox window would reload every 5 seconds. An alternative is to do some very clever stuff with javascript - but that's beyond my ability :D
gtaheavenmember, I think you want to remove this line from Cols code:
<td height="21" valign="top" bgcolor="#D4D4D4"></td></tr>
<tr>
As that would be the cause of the issue I suspect
Dunno what to say to that. Are you using the Default template? It may not work with other templates.
As for placing it in the header, that is somethign I'd like to do too. Still waiting for some replies to this thread myself.
It you are using the default template, it is what I use, and it does work.
Also, I've checked my code, and the 'valign' should go where I placed it.
wow grudge, thnx!
it works perfectly now!

Yes, an iframe was my first thought, but after I decided that would be a bad idea as it would keep interupting the scolling shouts, and it would be better to refresh at the beginning or end of each scroll. Would the displayed shout still need to go in an iframe if this were possible?

That is placed there act as a spacer. Without it the shoutbox goes to the very top, butting up against the header.

Sorry, yes I forgot one other small edit. What I said is correct, but you need change this too:
<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"><tr>
<td id="bodyarea" style="padding: 1ex 20px 2ex 20px;">';
}
To this:
<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"><tr>
<td id="bodyarea" style="padding: 1ex 20px 2ex 20px;" rowspan="2">';
}
This used with earlier code will place a small gap above the shoutbox so that it fits in better with the forum.
Edit: I've now added this to my earlier post.
I'm still a little confused why you need the shouts to refresh? The only reason I could see would be if someone was on the same page for a long period of time - but the shoutbox was never intended as a "chat box"- the only case when I think this would be likely?
The problem with interrupting the scrolling is there would be no way I know of to interrupt the scrolling when it's reached the end of the scroll - so as you say the refresh may come mid scroll. The only really clean way to do this would be through javascript - but it would be a load of work to code. It would basically involve getting the shoutbox to auto refresh the content every few seconds by making http requests to the script - very effective but tricky. I'd love to have a go at writing it myself but fear time is something of a scarce resource for me at the moment.
With reference to my posts #301 and #310, I've altered the code to make the shout box render reliably at the same relative height no matter which forum page you are on.
If removed the rowspan attribute, but introduced another nested table level. - However, it does seem to work better.
Change this:
function template_main_below()
{
global $context, $settings, $options, $scripturl, $txt;
echo '</td>
</tr></table>';
// Show the "Powered by" and "Valid" logos, as well as the copyright. Remember, the copyright must be somewhere!
echo '
To this:
<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"><tr>
<td id="bodyarea" style="padding: 1ex 20px 2ex 20px;">';
}
function template_main_below()
{
global $context, $settings, $options, $scripturl, $txt;
echo '</td>
<td bgcolor="#D4D4D4" valign="top" width="100">
<table valign="top" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="right">
<tr valign="top"><td height="29"></td></tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top" bgcolor="#D4D4D4" width="100">
<table bgcolor="#828181" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td>
<table width="100%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0">
<tr><td bgcolor="#6B8EAE"><font color="#FFFFFF">Shoutbox</font></td>
</tr>
<tr><td valign="top" bgcolor="#F0F0F0">', smfshout(), '</td>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr></table>';
// Show the "Powered by" and "Valid" logos, as well as the copyright. Remember, the copyright must be somewhere!
echo '
There may be the odd redundant tag attribute, but it should work fine. This will place the Shoutbox to the right. It should be easy enough to change it to the left. Post #301 should help if you need to place it to the left.

As you said, more of a 'chatbox', and that's how my old one was used largely. I run a medical support forum, and it is useful to be able have this function, especially for newbies. I had to give up my old YaBB shoutbox as I had server load problems with my YaBB forum, so stripped everything out I could.
One thing I will do is place the shoutbox in an iframe, as it makes no sense for the whole page to be refreshed when you make a shout.
As an alternative, how about adding a refresh button to the shoutbox? That would be acceptable with the shoutbox in an iframe.
If you ever could sort it so that shouts are refreshed at the end of each cycle, that would be really great.

Griffen,
This is VERY basic, you may need to tweak it to make it look good, but basically, in BoardIndex.php, find:

And before it add:

</tr>
</table></div>';
Col,
A refresh option may not be a bad idea. I'm now toying with the idea of a more advanced auto refresh option, but I'll have to see if I can find the time!

Yes, I'm sure he does.
What template do you use?
Griffin,
I have looked at the templating system, but it is largely beyong my abilities for the moment. I was going to to place the shout box to the right in the info center, and use the rowspan attribute, but I only really understand html, and it looks to be more complicated to do this in these template. I'm sure it's possible, it's just I haven't the time to work it out right now.
I hope someone else will read this, and do this for you. For someone else, I'm sure this would be pretty straight forward.

Yes, I'm sure he does.
What template do you use?
I just installed it into that one... It works fine in Safari but not IE or fire fox. It shows that there is a message but you don't see the message in IE. In fire fox you see the messages...without scroll... but can't shout.
This is the site that I have it on--->http://www.youth.kumcministries.com/newforum/index.php
Note.. I don't really know what I'm doing either... Just at the mercy of the good people here.
This is the code I haveecho '

I added a google ad too as you can see.... I'm sure i did not do it right but it is the way I want it in Safari.
Can someone help me with getting it to work right in other browsers please?
I see the messages fine in IE6. It doesn't scroll for me either in firefox. The only other thing I can suggest is you try this instead.
<td align="center">'. smfshout(). '</td>
I understand that in some instances you need to replace the commas with full stops. I have no idea why, or if it will work for you. - Worth a try though.
P.S. I notice that you are missing your closing </td> tag with google ads. Maybe it's because of that?
Col,
I've been hard at work the last couple of days to try add some automatic reloading to the shoutbox - and wondered if you'd fancy giving it a try? You'd have to uninstall the old version, and install the version attached (Upload it to your packages folder). Note that the auto refresh is browser dependant - and uses some of the technology used in SMF 1.1 (You can see the effect here when you preview a post).
Basically, what it does is "secretly" queries the server every 5 seconds after the page has loaded to see if there has been any more shouts. If there have it simply adds them to the list. It doesn't do any page refreshes or anything - it's simply using javascript to do it all in the background.
Note that it won't work on every browser under the sun I doubt - it would need to be fairly new - it certainly works on IE and Firefox, and if it doesn't work it just won't refresh - simple. Please note that this contains a little code form 1.1 in the form of a javascript file, so hence it is under the same license as SMF.
Let me know how you get on if you decide to try it. If it works I may even make it so it can add a shout without a page refresh - neglecting the need for an iframe completely.
This sounds like a great solution. I'll probably try it on a separate test board as I'm in the middle of testing out the converted files on my proper test board, and am hoping to transfer properly sometime in the hext 24-48 hours. I'll deffinately look at this a bit later though, as I'd like to include it with the new forum. My members will be very pleased to see the return of a shoutbox, and this extra functionality is great bonus.
Thanks.
sounds like a great idea Grudge. I dont have a test board set up, or I'd help you out.
Hi,
Just installed it, and it appeared to install with no errors, but when I refreshed the screen I got this:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare smfshout() (previously declared in /home/######/public_html/smf5test/Sources/Subs.php:1822) in /home/######/public_html/smf5test/Sources/Subs.php on line 1829
I'll have another go tomorrow.
Sounds like the previous version wasn't uninstalled first?
Hi,
I can't be bothered to repair that board, but I just looked via ftp and your shoutbox appears to be the only package downloaded. I also downloaded the installed list, and it is as follows:
Ultimate Shoutbox|^|shout1.tar.gz|^|grudge:ultimate_shout|^|1.3
I'm new to this, so don't know what that means. I'll install a new board and try this again.
It's just that error almost certainly means it's been installed twice somehow. I didn't really change the mod file other than to add an option for guests not to have to enter their email address.
What does the installed list suggest about that? Is that just one install of the shoutbox or not?
Anyway, I've installed this another test board, and it seems fine. I have to still test it properly though, and have to wait for my fellow admin to test it with me.
Having it refresh without an iframe would be a great feature too if you can do it. I'll let you know how I get on with it asap.
Hiya Grudge,
Initial tests prove to be positive. I can detect no problems with it. My fellow admin forgot, made a shout, and lost a post, so I think a shoutbox only refresh would help a lot. I'll place the Shoutbox in an iframe till you can sort that out.
This tweak is a great improvement!
Thanks.
Glad to hear it seems to work. I'll try take a look at getting posting to work this way over the next few days. FYI a package is only shown as installed once, even if you install it 10 times, I'm afraid.
Hey Grudge,
How about the ability to remove the 'view all' option from members? I suppose I could do that by hand, or at least remove the link, but to turn off access would be better. It's just I have had some problems in the past, and the ability to turn off access to old shouts might be useful, rather just having delete them straight way if there is a problem.
What do you think?
Grudge,
Thought I'd let you know in case you've not had any feed-back from Mac users, it apparently works as you intended for them too. ;)
Thanks, only problem now is finding the time to add the other bits!
i can not veiw the shoutbox
likeit does not show up
how would i fix this
If you are using the default template, and want the shoutbox on the right, you could try using what I posted in reply #312 (that's better than my suggestion in reply #301 for the right). If you would like the shoutbox on the left, you could try my suggestion in reply #301. If you go through the thread you will find other suggestions too.
I downloaded this, and nothing showed up, i went to the settings and everything seemed right but it ddint appear on the forum.
Did you read the instructions, or even any of the replies here? You need to add a line to your template to actually *show* it - if you can see the settings then it's installed fine. Just read the instructions and/or the posts Col referred to above.
yea i did, i replaced what was supposed to be replaced and my forum turned into a tiny forum, not sure how to explain it, everything was pushed to the side.
Well - it all depends on where you want it. By the sound of it the change moved the shoutbox to the left or the right, squashing the forum slightly. Where do you want it to appear? The best way to add it is firstly to add the HTML around where you want it to appear (i.e get the containing div in place, so it looks nice), and then call the function to fill it.
I know it sounds like a mammoth task but if you check through this topic there are examples of how to add the shoutbox to the top and bottom of the page as well as to the side. Also, if you want to check it is installed and working OK you can go to the URL of your site, as below:

Hi guys!
I've got a "little" problem with my shoutbox. When i try to put it into my forum it shows me this error instead of the shoutbox:
(http://onimra.cybton.com/stuff/problem.PNG)
I haven't seen an similar problem so far, i hope somebody can help me!
greetz oNiMrA
Who is your host? I could write a custom realpath, so it really makes no sense to disable it.
Why don't you contact them, and ask them why they have disabled it?
-[Unknown]
my host is http://www.cybton.com
i don't have a clue what a realpath is (newbie, sorry),
But when i've understood you right i can't do anything against it, apart from asking my host
EDIT:
ok, i've found out that the realpath function has been disabled for security reasons by my host, and they are not going to activate it, is there any solution how i can use the shoutbox without this function?
Probably old news. However this mod works flawless in 1.1..
doesnt work for me. I got smf 1.03
how is it not working, can you tell us your problem? Have you edited the template?
please help :)
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare smfshout() (previously declared in /home/sitename/public_html/Sources/Subs.php:1824) in /home/sitename/public_html/Sources/Subs.php on line 1831
I have the shoutbox installed and working fine. I am curious though if there is a way to have it display as it's own link. So I could embed it in an iframe on a different portion of my site?
Grudge thank you for implementing this mod into SMF. This is by far the best shoutbox that has been made. Quick question. Is there a way I can implement this on a different page besides my forum? I want to add this shoutbox to my wordpress which is the root. TIA. :)
OK,
ay_danscisi, you have somehow installed the mod twice (Even though it will only be listed once), try uninstalling it once - that may fix it!
The other two questions have the same answer - use SSI. If you go to:
www.yoursite.com/smf/ssi_examples.php
You'll actually see instructions on how to use SSI, and an example of how to see the shoutbox using it (The example page actually will show your shoutbox). So to add the shoutbox to any other site page just use the ssi include.
IamV, you want to do exactly this. Create a blank PHP page like:
<?php
require_once('smf/SSI.php');
ssi_shout();
?>
And set the source of the IFRAME to be this PHP page, easy as that :)
Hey Grudge I'm having a problem installing this mod. After I proceed I get this error
QuoteIncorrect table definition; There can only be one auto column and it must be defined as a key
File: /home/sfboarders/public_html/nameless/board/Packages/temp/shoutPdb.php

This board use to be an Enigma portal/YaBBSE that use to have the original shout mod by Haase if that will help any. TIA. :)
Edit: I found this (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=8417.msg114073#msg114073) and followed it and dropped my table and made a new one and I still get the same error.
Does that error actually halt installation or not? Can you run this in phpMyAdmin, and tell me the results?

Grudge, I can't proceed after I get this error. This is the message I get. My db prefix is "yabbse_"
Quoteyabbse_shoutbox CREATE TABLE `yabbse_shoutbox` (
`ID_SHOUT` int(...
There must be more than just that - there should be about 8-10 liesn returned - that's just the first 100 characters...
I entered your information in that text box
this is what I have:

-[Unknown]
You have to be kidding me that's a button? Here's the info you requested:
QuoteCREATE TABLE `yabbse_shoutbox` (
`ID_SHOUT` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
`ID_MEMBER` tinytext NOT NULL,
`displayname` text,
`message` longtext NOT NULL,
`email` tinytext,
`time` text NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`ID_SHOUT`)
) TYPE=MyISAM
Well - there is nothing wrong with that table!! There's no way that install should fail now, basically, the script does this:
$request = db_query("
SHOW COLUMNS
FROM {$db_prefix}shoutbox
LIKE 'id'", __FILE__, __LINE__);
$need_upgrade = mysql_num_rows($request) > 0;
Which means "If the shoutbox table has a column called id, it needs to be upgraded".
As the table you have no longer has a column called id, then $need_upgrade will be 0, and line 66 will no longer be executed! Can you try the install again? I assume you definetly have changed the right shoutbox table - stupid question I know but personally I have so many databases sometimes I edit the wrong thing. Is it *still* the same error message? If so I guess I'll write you a custom package with a different install version in! Won't get time to do that till tomorrow though!
Grudge, it's the correct table. I triple checked it. I have a lot of db's on this server and another SMF/MKPortal site with a different db prefix though. Thanks for helping me out. :)

I did what you said & the iframe just loads as the full index page where the shout is located.
Just testing on my test server and I was able to get it to work but its a clean install of SMF while live server is the upgrade.
On the test server I was able to get the following code to work
<? include("http://domain.com/board/SSI.php?ssi_function=shout"); ?>
The only thing is that the "View All" and "Shout" button don't appear.
However, I got the IFRAME to show the buttons but the only drawback about the IFRAME well for one it's an IFRAME :D and when you click on the "View All" button it shows the whole page in that small little IFRAME. Is there a way around that? Possibly making the link come up in another browser?
TIA. :)
i've just tried to install this MOD via the admin panel and i have changed the settings in the right places but for some reason i can't get it to display on the index..any ideas?

biocipher there's some info in the xml file
QuoteExample:
If you want to add the shoutbox to the LEFT of your web page, you could make the following change in index.template.php.
Find:
<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"><tr>
<td id="bodyarea" style="padding: 1ex 20px 2ex 20px;">';
and replace with:
<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"><tr valign="top">
<td width="120">', smfshout(), '</td>
<td id="bodyarea" style="padding: 1ex 20px 2ex 20px;">';
This is just a basic example, but should be enough to get you started.
nameless, I'm afraid I don't know enough about IFRAME's to say how you do that. I have made a start into having the next version of the shoutbox use javascript to auto refresh. The only problem with it is that it's a little intensive on the server. I guess at the very least I could make it so it used javascript to submit posts so the page doesn't refresh - that would remove the IFRAME requirement. Unfortunately the problem right now is that of time...
I used the script that Col proposed on the 26 March @ 12h31 and its working great. Quite like it on the rights side.
Check it out www.imagin.za.net
Had a few border colour problems. Still need to get the spacing right on the sides, but its now working on 3 of my themes, Default, Classic and Oxygen.
Thanks

I've had some problems, and have still not quite made the switch over SMF. I'm glad that you mentioned load, as this too concerned me. With your refresh version, it did occur to me that everyone online to the forum having the shoutbox making queries as to new shouts every 5 seconds as potentially problematical. As I indicated before, cannot this just be done at the end of the cycle, or just before the end. Alternatively, changing the query to every 30 seconds would help a lot, but is not as elegant as once every cycle.

This thread is so long, i could not follow.
I tried using the shoutbox on my "Starry Night" theme, and for some reason I couldn't see the button. Is there a way I can modify the size of the button and even the input text area?
-Shayna
There is a no shoutbox button, but you have to include the code somewhere in you template for the shoutbox to appear.
I posted a couple of ways of doing this on about page 21. There have been a number of others posted too.
Thanks, Col! I got it working :) You're awesome!

I'm using SMf 1.03 and I can't see the shoutbox on my forum. Is there an option somewhere that I need to turn on or something?

It's hard to tell where the post begins cause all the text looks the same. TIA :)
Just discovered something--I noticed that when I played with settings of the Shoutbox on IE, I got it to where I wanted, but I tried it on FireFox, and the shoutbox just ends up on the otherside of the screen. Is there a code I can use to fix that?

It just sounds like you've slipped up with your html somewhere.

i'd like this too.
I'm sorry but you've got the code quite wrong, both the PHP and HTML is up the spout. In the template_shout_box() function you'll probably want to put:
echo '<div><div style="float: left;">';
at the top, put:
echo '</div></div>';
at the very bottom.
And in that function, after this line:
if ($modSettings['enablescrollshout'] == 1)
echo '
</marquee>';
Put something like:
echo '</div><div style="float: right;">';
I'm no expert at HTML, but that should give you the starting point...
just modified the shoutbox template page using your suggestions and it is almost perfect.
Just need to pull the shout button over with it and it will be fine.
i installed this one and i get this error:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare smfshout() (previously declared in /homepages/20/d107436098/htdocs/bb/Sources/Subs.php:2082) in /homepages/20/d107436098/htdocs/bb/Sources/Subs.php on line 2089
now i cannot even see any topic, how do i delete this mod or fix this problem?
thank you.
so if i upload upgrade smf package this means ALL my mods will be gone? OH NO! :( you are talkikng about the smf upgrade, right?
i thought about what you said, and it might not work for someone else, but since i could not cope the idea of upgrading the whole thing, i thought about this must have another solution! the problem was i installed this mod and unistalled it, THEN installed back again and it gave the error on the subs.php so, the solution i thought about was this:
download the updgrade version for smf
and i only uploaded the subs.php and guess what happened...

You have installed it twice. Upload whole upgrade package to your forums and you should be fine.
edit: and of course, there should be uninstaller in package manager. That wont help if you have installed many times.

This does not mean they have installed it twice all the time, with the shoutbox for some reason the package manager modified Subs.php twice a few times on my forums . All you need to do is open up /Sources/Subs.php and search for
function smfshout()
{
global $sourcedir;
include_once("$sourcedir/shout.php");
shout_display();
shout_form();
}and there will be 2, and delete 1 of them -.-
i tried that one first, and but still was giving me another error about parse or something. so i delete it the subs.php and upload an new one and it worked somehow. i wonder what is this subs.php for?
thank you
gosh i have tried everything in this forum to try and get shoutbox running, its installed in teh forum, but i just cant seem to add the right code. there didnt appear to be any install instructions either.
could someone please tell me in idiot terms what i should be typing to get it running.
i have the shoutbox.php in the default folder and in the thems folder i want to use, that didnt seem to help either.
thanks

I used the script that Col proposed on the 26 March @ 12h31 and its working great. Quite like it on the rights side.
Check it out www.imagin.za.net
Had a few border colour problems. Still need to get the spacing right on the sides, but its now working on 3 of my themes, Default, Classic and Oxygen.
Thanks
This is what I posted before. Use the col's script
"the col's scrpt"? whats that mean?
I also posted one way to make it show up on page 9 or 8 ;)
k thanks :)

To Grudge, or anyone else..... Please read.
I would also like to know how to do this. My order would be 'View" then the [message] and lastly the submit button. Can the message box be expanded horizontally?
Thanks in advance for any advice!
shadowstriker, col is a member who posts here and he wrote a script that you paste into some place...can't remember where...but it is described in his post of the 26th March and it works.
Go to my forum at www.imagin.za.net and have a look.
I saw Bitwiz44's post, and I think he has it installed OK, and my take was that he wants to display the options/fields in a single line:
view all | message | shout
I did look at the code, but it looked like a lot of fiddling, and I'm still new to CSS. I still find the SMF code quite confusing, but I'm sure there are others around here that could do this in two ticks?
Yes, The shout works nicely.
I just want to inline the stuff.
Just to verify I've done this right. I installed the mod, which installs on the smf default theme. However my forum theme is not SMF default. I used this code at the top of the theme index.template I wanted shoutbox in.
<?php require("blah/blah/SSI.php"); ?>
Then to call the shoutbox where I wanted in that theme, I used this inside of a table
', smfshout(), '
It works fine, but I want to be sure I'm setting this up right to avoid future problems. Also, to use this on any other themes, I follow the same steps correct?
Thanks Grudge...
you do not need to require the SSI file within your forum template, just add the smfshout() function.
Is there anyway possible way to align the generated text from the shoutbox to align to the left instead of all in the center?
find in the shout.template.php
//--></script>';
echo '
<center>';
// Scrolling?
replace the <center> with <left>
find:
echo '
<p><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=shout_archive">', $txt['shoutbox_43'], '</a></p>
</center>';
replace with:
echo '</left><center>
<p><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=shout_archive">', $txt['shoutbox_43'], '</a></p>
</center>';
should do the trick....

I got it, But I would NEVER have worked this out without Grudge's help. (Thanks Grudge!)

<input type="submit" name="submit" value="', $txt['shoutbox_9'], '" />
</form>
</center>';
}
?>
starting at the //make the stuff inline:
Ok, its not pretty, but its VERY close to what I needed and works. I just need somehow to put a few spaces between each item.
[view all] [message] [shout] in one line is what I wanted. I made the shout under the stats on the main below. I also needed the message entry box wider, to see easier what is 'About" to be entered in the box.
Grudge's advice:
all the HTML for the shoutbox is in the file called shout.template.php, it can be found in your Themes/default directory.
The form bits (Where people type there message) is in the function called "template_shout_form", to make the message box longer change the bit that says:
name="message" size="16"
To have a size that you want it to have (for example 25)
To make it inline I *think* you want to remove the <br> that is on the end of that same line.
The below part didn't work for me.
to get the "View all" on the same line as the box is something I'd find a little tricky cause I don't know much about CSS, but I think you'd change this:
<form action="', $scripturl, '?action=shout" method="post">
to something like:
<form action="', $scripturl, '?action=shout" method="post" style="display: inline;">
From the actual code that works for me, I found the line grudge is describing, and move it to the same area as the other code. after much playing, finally I removed the </p> and the echo. 8)
If anyone has a better way, Im all ears.
Quote from: Jerry on May 28, 2005, 01:50:51 AM
you do not need to require the SSI file within your forum template, just add the smfshout() function.
I thought if you didn't use the shoutbox on your default template, that you had to use SSI to call it. If you are using default then no. Is this incorrect? I have about 10 different themes for various topics on my site. The shout box is being used for my open general topic, which is not the default SMF template.

Sorry this thread is so big I cannot find my answer, I use version 1.0.3 and I cant see the ultimate shout box after installing, plus how do I get it to work with the Helios Theme?
Put this code some place in your index.template, of the template you wnat it to show up in. I put mine right after the powered/valid logo echo' and added my own HTML around it, I suggest maybe a table with a border or something.

Hi all,
Sorry it's taken me so long to reply, although I did reply to the few emails I received!
I've updated the description of the mod (Mod site and first post in this topic), with some helpful (I hope) tidbits on displaying the shoutbox, editing the template and using SSI - so in the future people won't be as confused!
Thank you my shout box is up and wrking and that edit made more sense to me. Now I just need to tackle the games arcade and music uploads, listening, and lyrics.
I think the shoutbox is pretty sweet. I have a problem though, in my shoutbox it shows the (no-image) X icon. Is my avatar supposed to be showing up there? because it won't.
Is there anyway to turn it off? I don't want any images showing up in the shouts besides the smilies.
Thanx,
-Xarcell
there is delete icon in shout box folder named as deleteshout.gif you have to upload it manually to your theme images's folder where you are using shoutbox.then you will see delete icon instead of X .hope you got it.
If this was already posted earlier, I apologize, but I didn't find it. Is there anyway I can post the top shouts? I mean, list how many shouts a forum member has made, starting from the top shouter?
-Shayna
does anyone know if this works on SMF 1.1 Beta 2??
What does it say when you try to install it on Beta 2 - does it say any step failed? I'm willing to update it if necessary for Beta 2, but I expect it will work anyway.
stargazer_1017,
There's no built in way to do this, you'd have to mod it in yourself. If you were having it display per page load it would be a real drag on your forum speed - but I guess you could modify the stats page to do it - I don't have time to add it myself though.
Oh no, that's okay then :) I was just wondering. I think I just wanted it to show in the "archive" page. I'm not so good at the programming stuff, so I'll leave it as is. It's still wonderful the way it is :D
-Shayna
My Shoutbox is getting crushed by hundreds of online gambling ads per day. I need to find a way to ban the people doing it. I've used IP banning in SMF but I don't think it's working with the shoutbox or the spammers are getting around it somehow.
Does IP banning work with the shoutbox?
If not, can we please have a patch to allow IP banning and also automatic deletion of any message with certain words? I'd like to ban the words poker, blackjack, gambling, etc. I don't want to ban those words for the entire forum, just the shoutbox. Can anyone help? If I can't get a quick solution I'll have to remove the shoutbox altogether and that would make me sad. :(
DuckFat, have you enabled guests to shout? Why don't you make your shoutbox members only so banned members won't be able to use it?
I see no option to do that in the "Edit Features and Options" section. How do I do that?
That would only be a temporary fix. I think an essential element of the shoutbox is allowing quick anonymous posts.
It's under "Manage Permissions".
It should respect bans though even if the user is a guest, as SMF won't allow them to get as far as the shoutbox if they're banned. If worst comes to worst I can probably post you the code to force it to disallow certain words if you want.
Hi all -
Like many I was having troubles getting the formatting to play nice with my forum page. Since I am using Mambot CMS I threw together a Mambo CMS module to display the shoutbox anywhere a module can be displayed in Mambo (which is nearly everywhere :)
You can download it here.
http://shovelbums.org/content/view/120/481/
Thanks rjoe_brandon, I'm sure people will appreciate it :)
Hey, thank you. So far so good. It's working perfectly. Will post any problems, if any arise.
Edit: Ok, one problem did arise. The module cannot be selected to show in the wrapped forum page.

need help..
Yes, you want to use SSI to create an empty page with just a shoutbox in it. I've commented on this before, but best check out ssi_examples.php. If you made a page like:
<?php
require_once('SSI.php');
ssi_shout();
?>
Then have a link to that page that would just display the shoutbox - to give you a start at least

Thanks for your reply i got it and it works..
one more question can we increase scrolling speed?
hassan,
The scroll speed can be adjusted from the shoutbox options that are placed on the "Feature Settings and Options" page.
Grudge Thanks for your reply.actually i set it at fastest but problem is that members are using madly :D in few minutes it reaches to pages so it take time to see latest reply better to have more speed...i want to modify fastest to super fast ;) hope to see your reply soon
bye take care
You do realise that it requires a page refresh to get the latest posts? If you just sit there with the page open you'll only get posts up to the time you loaded the page. If you want the page to "auto refresh" you could put in some javascript to auto refresh the page every 10 seconds - but it would be annoying for people writing a shout in that time.
If you look back about 10 pages I posted an update to the shoutbox which will dynamically update as new shouts are made - maybe worth checking that out? Bear in mind that's relatively untested - and it WILL increase your server load :)
well i got i just want to increase scrolling speed i edit littel .mod file
Before
'5' => &$txt['shoutbox_35'],
After
'9' => &$txt['shoutbox_35'],
well this works on local server i didn't upload it to my web server i just check it and it works just increase speed.its quite simple though.just want to confirm is it ok or not?
That would probably do something, yes.
Does this work for SMF 1.0.4?
Should do.
Grudge Thanks again
yes it works perfectly
I've really enjoyed the shoutbox on my forum what i'd like to know is there away i can insert it into the coppermine gallery ive bridged to my forum, I think it would be really cool to be able to shout at either location using the same shoutbox
What would you need to address this possible integration into the already bridged db.
Also for some reason ie, and aol the shoutbox comes out great but firefox it doesnt table out right.
Thanks in advance for your input
stormLyd - you can use SSI to include it ANYWHERE on your website. Simply search for SSI here. I've mentioned a lot in this topic to check out ssi_examples.php which is in your forums directory - that shows how to use the shoutbox in SSI mode.
I feel silly asking this, but where do I set permissions to enable posting by guests?
There's nothing for this under Shoutbox in the "Features and Options" admin area. I'm using the shoutbox with Simple Portal.
OK, this is your basic shoutbox, that's nice, now, will somebody please tell me what a "shoutbox" is?
Google wouldn't.
I guess what I'm wondering specifically is whether it would be a redundant mod since I already have the chat mod installed. Sounds like it might be a similar thing (for forum users that is--I know that chat is something completely different under the hood).
Can somebody please enlighten me?
Thank you.
I guess if you don't use the chat mod, like me, then you would use the shoutbox. I don't know if I can explain it correctly. . .but it's mostly just to give a shoutout to other members without entering a chat room or posting it in a post on the forum. It also keeps the messages viewable for everyone to see. I don't think the chat mod does that.
Mine is up and running at my forum (http://wits.crystalline-stars.net/forum).

It's a permission - look in the membergroup permissions area.
Glad you got it working webfly :)
awesome job, sorry for the double post, the only thing i may have to fix is the way when you are viewing picture posts it messes tables up (such as you have to scroll the avatar in the post, and the picture in the post). I allow really large picture sizes (large hosting space that i get basically free, why waste it :P). but i don't think i will go and screw and awesome mod or theme at this moment in time yet.
k , i like this.. good job on making it
and sorry if this has already been asked, but going through 31 pages of posts to see if this has already been asked would take ages :|
in IE it only loads the small box that you set it to.. but in firefox it loads everything.. so your page basicly becomes very large for the spilt second it takes to load the page, then the "shoutbox" becomes the size that you set it to.. is this something that can't be fixed?
do you understand what im asking?
-edit-
cause of that, the page doesn't open smoothly in firefox as it does in IE
-end edit-
electrohome88,
I'm guessing this is due to not having some size constraint on the bounding box? I'm not sure what HTML you are surrounding the shoutbox call with - but maybe you could try forcing the enclosing td/div to a certain width? The other option is to play with shout.template.php but I think surrounding it would be easier?
PS - I'm on holiday in a few hours so don't expect any more replies from me for a while :P

Any help for my previous post in page 31 in this topic ?
I have also another problem.
I create a blank php page with this code :
<?php require("/home/hellasd/public_html/yngwiedis/forum/SSI.php"); ?>
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>
<body>
<?php ssi_shout(); ?>
</body>
</html>
I upload that page to my site's root.
I go to that page and i post some test shouts.
OK with that. Then i click on the X to delete a shout and is redirecting me to my forum boardindex.
I try several times but every time its the same.
I upload the page to my forum's root too.
Same problem...
I dont know if this helping with my other problem too but i think is good to post it.
when someone is banned from the boards, but only banned for posting, the person can still post in the shoutbox, think thats fixable?
Hey, how can I change the shout box's scroll? I don't want it to move on its own and I want it to use scroll bars instead. I have been working on it but I am not the best when it comes to PHP.
flood control would also be a nice addition

If you know HTML & CSS, you can use a div with overflow: scroll instead of marquee. You can easily change it from shout.template.php
I was looking for ways to reduce number of queries in my forum (like disabling avatar download count...). I managed to eliminate the need for a temporary table when you show the shoutbox in ascending order. It's a use of MySQL's UNION ordering feature:
Just replace
"SELECT * FROM {$db_prefix}tempsb ORDER BY ID_SHOUT ASC"
with
"(SELECT * FROM {$db_prefix}shoutbox
ORDER BY ID_SHOUT DESC LIMIT ".$modSettings['shoutlimit']. ")
UNION
(SELECT * FROM {$db_prefix}shoutbox LIMIT 0)
ORDER BY ID_SHOUT ASC"
And remove the temporary table above & below, and that's two less queries and one less table.
Enjoy. ;) Too bad it can't help me since I'm using decending order. :-\
P.S. I haven't tested, but I believe this should be a bit faster since there are less overhead - most complications are handled internally by MySQL, with less interprocess communication, php function calls and status check.
Any updates for 1.1beta 3?
Actually, I lied. It appears the update didn't work with 1.1 Beta 3 - it does now :)
Also, I've updated this to 1.3.1 which includes the following improvements:
- Option to not require email addresses of guests
- Option to enable autorefreshing of the shoutbox through xml (Will increase server load)
- A few speed improvements (As Sheepy posted), although 1.3 already had them - from page 22(ish) :)

I'm afraid the shoutbox currently can only redirect to the forum homepage after a delete. Guess this is a bug but it will take me a while to find a way to get around it.
Sorry if this has been covered here before..
I've installed the shoutbox with no problems, it seems great.. I've had a weird issue with it's formatting though.
When I enable guest posts i get: "Email", "Name" and "Shout" boxes plus a "view all" link.. that's good.. but I don't want unregged shout posting enabled..
When I disable guest posts I can only see the "view all link" which links to a page where people can post, but.. That seems wrong? Just the tag entry field would be nice. :) I've looked in ssi_examples.php and it does the same in there.. Is something wrong with my copy, or have i done something wrong?
thanks in advance. :)

I have the exact same problem, for whatever reason the "shout_form()" function is not returning, I got around this by putting the form in the "shout_display()" function.

OK. Thank you very much for your answer Grudge ;)
mixel/Elijah Bliss,
Can you explain a little more what is wrong with guest posting? I tried it and it seems fine to me? Exactly what settings (Both settings and permissions) are you using and what is wrong?

Please try uploading the attached file to your Sources directory.
thanks.. sorry if i sounded harsh.. it was just getting annoying that they were banned from posting... then would go on and on in the shoutbox about why they shoudln't have been banned.
also, there were errors in the code:
line 35
$context['canPost'] = !isset($_SESSION['ban']['cannot_post'] && allowedTo('make_shout');
should be
$context['canPost'] = !isset($_SESSION['ban']['cannot_post']) && allowedTo('make_shout');
same goes for line 123
just incase others want to use this file as well

mixel/Elijah Bliss,

I have it set to members only response. The form disappears when integrated in to mkportal and mambo, it doesn't even show for the admin. The only way I can get the form to show is by either iframing the shout function or moving the form to the shout_display() function.
The same here.. Doesn't matter which settings i use, it just seems to be the unregistered guest access that messes it up.
This is probably unnecessary, but it illustrates what I/we mean;
(http://mixelmagic.com/crap/shoutbox.gif)
Hope that helps clarify a bit anyway. Not sure if this is significant, but i'm still running 1.0.5.
Ed: It definitely seems to have been significant, as I updated to the latest beta, and now it seems to work fine..! :)
Can anyone share if there's a way to collapse the shoutbox or only show it on the index (home) page only?
Sorry about that, I was running an older version of the shoutbox, 1.31 works fine in 1.1.

I see what you mean. Go to "Your desired Theme/index.template.php"
find:
// If we're on a certain board, limit it to this board ;).
if (!empty($context['current_board']))
echo '
<input type="hidden" name="brd[', $context['current_board'], ']" value="', $context['current_board'], '" />';
echo '
</form>
</td>
add after
<td>', ssi_shout(), '</td>
now this will look ugly, you 'll have to style it to your liking, but it places the shoutbox in the collapsable area.
Thanks that'll do it.
on delete a shout, it should return back to the shoutbox.. instead it returns to the forum index
What does this mean? - what'd I do wrong? :-\
Help please?

QuoteYou left out the include line to the file that holds the function.

I have a BIG problem now.
I installed the mod. My Smf version is 1.0.5
After I gave permission to everybody to post on the Shout box I got upset thinking they did not want to do that.
But when I looked att the error logs I saw that many had tryed, but actualy only the administrators could do it.
I decided to uninstall the mod and try again, but then i got this error message
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: smfshout() in ...\Sources\Load.php(1042) : eval()'d code on line 286
and I can´t see anything under my login bar!
What should I do?
Please somebody! Help :-[
Nevermind, I´ve got some help and fixed it.
First I tryed to copy all he update files to the server except for upgrade.php.
It didn´t work ::)
Then I copied the upgrade package and uploaded the files...
It worked!
The buddy mod is working fine also. I did not miss it.. I just have to press install and it was fine! :P
I just don´t understand why did it happen... I can still see the shoutbox package there but there is not an uninstall option, just delete. And I am not going to use delete again! I swear! ;D
Has anyone any good hint about it?
hi, may i know how to put the shoutbox ?? i install it already.. but nothing shows ?

hi, may i know how to put the shoutbox ?? i install it already.. but nothing shows ?
well, heres what i did
i added this line to index.template.php
<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=shout_archive">', ($settings['use_image_buttons'] ? '<img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/' . $context['user']['language'] . '/shout.gif" alt=" shout " style="margin: 2px 0;" border="0" />' : $txt[182]), '</a>', $context['menu_separator'];i put that code where you find "// Show the menu up top. Something like [home] [help] [profile] [logout]..." so basicly theres an extra button up that that links to the shout box
and to make the shout image (the button they use like home) i did some photoshoping of the images already up there, took the S from the search button, h from the same button, then 'out' from the logout button.
but if you dont like that, then just add
if (function_exists('smfshout'))
smfshout();somewhere on your site.. just make sure it works well within the php :)
hmm, i dun really get it...
www.e-grounds.com
you'll notice the shout button , and ya, i guess thats it
hmm, icic but i wanted to put my shoutbox below those Home, Search, Help links ? can i do that ?

Sounds like it's not installed properly now. I would upload all clean files again and then reinstall it.
-[Unknown]
the sql needs to be 1.0.5 for it will work and i cant install it in the package manager!
I looked back about 7 pages but didn't see this one:
package installs fine on 1.1beta3public (no red error messages at least!)
and the shout box appears as normal on my page. I go to shout (as admin and regular user) and the shout doesn't appear. Nor does the database increase (ie, the shout is hitting the db). Clean install of the shoutbox, even deleted the 1.2.x db table.
hints?
weekend camper,
that's very odd... can you view the source of your page and look at what URL the shout form is submitting to - it should be ?action=shout
What happens if you shout from the archive?
ah, its doing the right actions shout and shout_archive but it is remaining on the "pure" /index.php page -- meaning I can't see the archives page. Missing files or improper pacmanager?
Super strange. Will dig around the code/uploaded files later on. Using Bloc's Helios 1.1multi and shoutbox(); as the calling line. And like I said, a super fresh install (yesterday) of the Shoutbox.
I'll do a manual install in a few days and see if that helps fix the actions.

I've been trying to alter the template to have the message box on the top instead of at the bottom, yet I can't seem to figure it out. Could somebody please help me out?
Greatly appriciated,

Thought I'd point this out as i've been banging my head against the desk for 4 hours before figuring it out. I don't know if this applies to other mods, but I couldn't get past the stage where it asks me for FTP detail, just kept refreshing page when pressing proceed. >:( My board is intergrated in mambo, so i just accessed the forum via www.mysite.com/mambo/smf (hence not going through mambo) and it worked fine :D
Hi.
I had installed a skin, named Cerberus, and i want to put the shout, bettwen the user info, and the adveanced search, but i dont know were to put the code to shout appear. Can anyone tell me were i have to put the code to the shout appear?
DVD,
I don't know that theme - but if you edit index.template.php in that themes directory - and follow my post on page one - you should be able to work out where to put it by trial and error. Hopefully the theme is commented well enough to find roughly the right place.

I'm sorry if this has been asked, I did several searchs & didn't find it in the 35 pages of this thread...
How would I add either the smiley previewer to the shoutbox, or preferably a link for the smiley pop up?
As a follow up to my problems, Grudge actually narrowed it down to a messed up index.php install.
Do a manual install on the index.php and you may be OK!
:)
PS Thanks Grudge!
Right... manual install... :-\
Can anyone give me an idea of how I do that, or at least point me in the right direction of where I could find more information on it? (I've become sadly addicted to the package manager... lost all my l33t 'by-hand' skills apparently. :P )
Thanks!
yeah, its not the easiest thing to find:
short answer: looky in the .xml file that comes with (any?) mod. What the pac man does automagically, is spelled out there. In this case, look for Index.php and match your Index.php code to the mod's changes. hint: find and replace works wonders.
longer answer: dig through the package SDK http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=20319.0 (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=20319.0) and find the
Quote\package-sdk_0-5\modifications\readme file
That explains how to make a mod, so you may be able to piece together how to manually do what the pac man does for you.
To do the manual install, you need to downloaded and unzipped the package.
Then look inside for a file with a mod in it (not sure how to refer to it properly) this file will give you the instructions for installing the mod manually. If the package you want to install doesn't have a mod file, you'll need to open the xml file (I use notepad to do it) and find the instructions in there.
hope this helps some.

I found a great set of instructions for manually installing mods:

Look around (my version is line 900ish of 1.0.5) of Post.template.php. That should get you started.
i was trying to edit the shout.template.php...
what i cant really understand is how "template_shout_form()" gets loaded into "template_shout_box()"
the archive template is okey since it loads shout form template clearly by adding template_shout_form() into it...
how come i will change order of form and box in the template_shout_box()
i want to do this
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
<tr>
<td width="100%">shout form</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="100%">shout box</td>
</tr>
</table>
I found the smiley code near where you said it is for you. But just can't find the right spot to add it for it to show up in the shout box.
Either it doesn't show up at all - or I get massive errors

ok forget that i managed to get it at bottom..but not sure if i like it lol.
how do you make it so its in a neat box?
at the moment its the width of the forum and looks mega ugly
Hiya grudge,
With one thing and another, I am only now getting around to installing my forum proper. I asked a long time ago if it was possible for the script enquiry to check for new shouts to just the once, at the end of each cycle, so cutting server load. I don't think I saw a reply. Might this be possible somehow?
Thanks.
hel8itch,
You need to put some html arround the call to the function. For example, if you surround the box with a div with a set width (<div width="50%">) then it will fill that width.
Col,
Sorry, that request must have got lost! Currently it checks for a shout every 5 seconds. I'm afraid I'm on holiday from Friday so ain't going to get to this before then. I don't think that would be too bad on the load (The new version of the shoutbox was lighter than the old one anyway), and you could change the reload time in shout.template.php (look for setTimeout) to something like every 20 seconds. Ideally for the xml reload I would have it pointing to a "lighter" script which only loaded the bare minimum from the database (settings) - but it would make it slightly more complicated to handle the can_delete permission. This is probably something I should look at I know - it's just time isn't on my side. With your "once every cycle" thing - if you just mean it should only refresh once, you could change the setTimeout function to 10000 (10 seconds) and remove the call in the function called "function doAutoReload()" - that would mean it would refresh once at 10 seconds but never again.
Hi Grudge,
Yeah, I meant once every time it comes around, ideally just before the last x number of shouts begin a new cycle.
I guess I'll turn the checking function off, to get a base line, and then turn it on on see if there are any server strains. I guess there won't be though, as my forum ain't that popular! :D
Thanks, and enjoy your holiday.
I can't remember this being mentioned before, but why does the shoutbox jump at the end of the cycle in FF and NS. There is no gap like there is with IE and Opera. I have the shouts scrolling up, but when the cycle begins its repeat, instead of starting at the bottom of the box and scrolling up, they start at the top, and immediately scroll off the top. This is why there is an apparent jump. It's pretty ugly. :(
when i try to buy i got this error how can i fix it?

I have this installed to display down the right hand side of the screen and its length is set at 600px but I dont like the empty space beneath it - I also dont want it to run any longer. It is possible to adjust this somehow to put something else underneath it in the space, like maybe another mod or the bookmark thread box or something?
So anyway... does anyone know what I mean and how to fix it?
I can only see the login page, and I am not joining up. If you don't want it, just remove the code from the template. I'm guessing that I don't fully understand you. :(
sorry I closed the open membership since I posted this first message, I don't want you to join up to see the problem, sorry if you got that impression.
you can vary the length and the width of the width of the shoutbox in the admin section BUT the main page of the board has quite a lot of categories which makes the length quite long. The shoutbox runs down the right hand side of the screen from the 'key stats' box to the end of the page, even though within that section the actual shoutbox and text is a lot shorter, but still that whole section is used by that mod and so you end up with a big blank space underneath the shout box text. The only thing that makes a difference is to make the shoutbox really really long so that it fills the whole space but then that still seems like a waste of space to me. Since the shoutbox/shouts are only about 700px long then I would like to put something else in the space below it which is just black space.
I'm not sure if that made it clearer or not :)
Hi Elliel,
I don't think this is a shoutbox problem really. You are just looking for ideas of what to place under it. You could move the newsbox there I suppose, but then you'll be left with space in the header section.
It obvious you've gone to some trouble with your template, but there are some obvious problems. The width of your forum is considerably wider than 1024px wide, so unless you have a wide screen monitor, you have to scroll across.
What you could do, I suppose, is make two fixed width forum templates, one for 1024px width monitors, and one for 800px monitors. You'd actually have all the main parts of the forum within the 800 or 1024px, and you'd have to scroll across to view the shoutbox. Just a thought. - It would keep your forum large (according to members particular monitors and resolutions), and would be putting the shoutbox in some extra side space.
I'd still have a default template that was dynamic, that included the shoutbox, and then they could choose one of the fixed width templates from their profile options in they so desired.
Grudge,
Sorry, another bug. At least you should be refreshed from your hols! :D
When I try using the xml refresh, it screws up the width of the shoutbox in FF. - It ends up a lot skinnier than it should.
Also, when the shoutbox is loading on the forum page in FF and NS, it first displays all the shouts to be displayed in one long column, way beyond the set length, but when finished loading, and the shoutbox has returned to it's correct length, there is space left under the footer because of the page stretching on short pages. I'm not sure how much of this is a shoutbox problem, but does it need to do this? - Can it be resolved?
Thanks.

Hi
I didnt do anything to the width of the forum, it just came that way, so I don't understand why you say it's too wide :( I use a laptop and I don't have the scrolling problem, it seems to fit my screen ?
*confused*
But yeah about the space under the shout box, that is exactly the problem, there's a bit empty space underneath but I don't know how to move anything there :)
Is it me, or do the instructions for this leave ALOT to be desired?
It's just not making sense. :/
EDIT:
OK, maybe I'm slow, I got it. Much more to learn.
Thanks for the code, great feature.
This is a great mod. It really makes a site look alive. The ShoutBox has become very popular at the forum (http://feathermoon.net/log/) at Feathermoon.Net (http://feathermoon.net/).
Yesterday, I did something wrong when upgrading ShoutBox (to get the auto refresh feature) and the module got installed twice making the forum inaccessible with the popular error
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare smfshout() (previously declared in /home...
Panic ensued. I am no web developer. I calmed myself down and began reading every post in this thread. I tried uploading a fresh copy of Subs.php as described here (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=8415.msg266333#msg266333) and that worked well enough to get me back into Package Manager where I uninstalled Shoutbox again.
Now everything works fine again. But in the "Features and Options" section I have two instances for Shoutbox, one of which is for the old version. I could ignore it since everything is working fine but I would like to make it go away. Is there anyway I can do this manually without uninstalling the entire mod?

mixel/Elijah Bliss,
Can you explain a little more what is wrong with guest posting? I tried it and it seems fine to me? Exactly what settings (Both settings and permissions) are you using and what is wrong?
I have it set to members only response. The form disappears when integrated in to mkportal and mambo, it doesn't even show for the admin. The only way I can get the form to show is by either iframing the shout function or moving the form to the shout_display() function.
This is my same exact problem.
anyone know where to edit the shoutbox in smfshout(); and edit the width of the Message Box
Everything seems to be installed correctly but cannot see the shouts.
BTW, I am using 1.1

I'm sorry if this has been asked, I did several searchs & didn't find it in the 35 pages of this thread...
How would I add either the smiley previewer to the shoutbox, or preferably a link for the smiley pop up?
Does anyone have an idea?
Look around (my version is line 900ish of 1.0.5) of Post.template.php. That should get you started.
I still have not been able to successfully do this, does anyone else have any ideas, tips or suggestions?
I have changed the way the "View All" link functions and now it goes to the full screen like it should instead of the small frame (my website uses frames as disussed many pages back. I was also able to change the delete buton the same way (which takes you to the forum index and not the shout page?)
1. How do I get the delete button to take you to the shout page instead or better yet NOT change the page?
2. How do I get the member link to go full screen instead of inside the page. It does do to the member profile but it does so inside the frame. I changed all the href command inside the shout template to top but it seems the member profile link s hard coded differently. It seems to use a default code from somewhere else to link if I am making any sense of it.
I can live with number one not going to the shout age but number two just makes my page look goofy when that small frame it is inside of is changed to the forum index, you can't read any of it at all so it ust looks terrible.

Help me please!
I'm having trouble with shoutbox and SEF url's on. Is there an issue with shoutbox and search engine friendly url's being on? I did a search and did find anything to my surprise. The shoutbox comes up fine but after a shout it isn't redirected properly. Check it out http://www.ridesocal.com/forum/index.php If you are a thread like http://www.ridesocal.com/forum/index.php/topic,510.0.html it will return you to http://www.ridesocal.com/topic,510.0.html? which of course brings up good old mr. 404
EDIT: My guess is it has something to do with this in shout.php...
$context['qstr'] = "http://" . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . "?" . $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];
if (strcmp( substr($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], -7), "SSI.php") == 0)
$context['qstr'] = "http://" . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];

Hi Elliel,
I don't think this is a shoutbox problem really. You are just looking for ideas of what to place under it. You could move the newsbox there I suppose, but then you'll be left with space in the header section.
It obvious you've gone to some trouble with your template, but there are some obvious problems. The width of your forum is considerably wider than 1024px wide, so unless you have a wide screen monitor, you have to scroll across.
What you could do, I suppose, is make two fixed width forum templates, one for 1024px width monitors, and one for 800px monitors. You'd actually have all the main parts of the forum within the 800 or 1024px, and you'd have to scroll across to view the shoutbox. Just a thought. - It would keep your forum large (according to members particular monitors and resolutions), and would be putting the shoutbox in some extra side space.
I'd still have a default template that was dynamic, that included the shoutbox, and then they could choose one of the fixed width templates from their profile options in they so desired.
Hi
I didnt do anything to the width of the forum, it just came that way, so I don't understand why you say it's too wide :( I use a laptop and I don't have the scrolling problem, it seems to fit my screen ?
*confused*
But yeah about the space under the shout box, that is exactly the problem, there's a bit empty space underneath but I don't know how to move anything there :)
Hi I still have the problem of having an empty space under the shoutbox to fill, but I have now been asked about something else.
The shoutbox is available to all members but the Moderators have asked if it were possible to have their own Mod only shoutbox, so we could make each other aware of stuff etc without having to PM. I'm guessing that you can't install two shoutboxes on the forum... but on my main website I have a little free shoutbox installed which is about 100 x 300 pixels. Is there some way I can add that to the forum under the smf 'official shoutbox' ? Then the regular members could use the non-smf shoutbox and I could restrict the smf shoutbox to the mods and admin team?
Is that possible and if so, can anyone tell me how to insert it? I guess it means changing the display template but I would need instructions :)
thanks in advance
Well no one answered either of my 2 question above on this page, so let me try a 3rd questions.

in admin, features, you can change the size of the box and the number of shouts to be displayed. my shoutbox runs down the right hand side of the page and you can see them all fine without altering the font size, but if you want to change the font size it would probably be in the shoutbox template???
i looked in the shoutbox template and its not anywhere in there only thing you can change in size in there is the message box tiself, id like to change the font as its kind big, thanks for any help anyone can give

What
I would do is make a new
function timeformat (found in /Sources/Subs.php) and mess with the formating there. Look around line 750ish.
Then go to the shoutbox file shout.php and find/replace the timeformat calls to match whatever new function name I made in step #1. Should be in
function Shout_Archive() and
function shout_display().
YMMV :)
how do I change the username text to bold and italic?

Thank you! I have also managed to get the format I like by specifying it as a forum default in the administration. I prefer not to tweak too much and having to redo whenever there is a new release of the ultimate shoutbox.
Thank you again!

Reread the first post here, locate your special square by doing some educated guessing and putting gibberish "ASDFSD" (or something) in places that look like the code for the square in Apollo's index.template.php file. You might have to dig through several files though, as I'm not familar with Apollo's layout.
Remember that this is a third-party mod, and it is not supported by Simple Machines. If you are not comfortable with using third-party software, reading instructions carefully, or getting a likely slower response than otherwise, I would have to suggest against using third-party mods.
Otherwise, you just need to latch onto your patience. It is, after all, a virtue.

np, but you would likely get more help with that specific question (where's the square?) in the Apollo theme thread.
im not a coder but i think this will work for you tl0z, it did for me
Go to what ever theme directory and edit the file called index.template.php, inside of that php file go all teh way to the bottom until you see
}
?>
before the }
enter the following
if (function_exists('smfshout'))
smfshout();
so once you are done it should like this at the end of that index.template.php file
if (function_exists('smfshout'))
smfshout();
}
?>
that will do what you are asking

Hello, I am a novice user with minimum resources at my site.
Here is a tip for people who want the functionality, but don't want the thing cluttering their site.
I didn't like the way this mod scrolled automatically.
It would be better if people could scroll themselves.
I also realized that the load time increased when I installed this.
Not much, but again, I'm really ******y about these things.
This is what I did.
I used the Redirection Mod. I called the forum "Shoutbox"
And I set the redirection address to the ShoutBox Archive.
So there's a page dedicated to shouting, instead of the shoutbox annoying everybody at the site.
This might help people who don't want the shoutbox slowing down the main pages. But still want the functionality. :)
P.S. Can someone recommend a chat mod?
I'd like a chat where it's a part of my site. I don't have to subsribe elsewhere.
escobart can you please provide the steps you did for the below
This is what I did.

QuoteThis might help people who don't want the shoutbox slowing down the main pages. But still want the functionality.
1) Install the Ultimate ShoutBox
2) Install the Redirection Mod
***If you need help installing the mods, reply.***
4) Create a forum. Call it "ShoutBox".
(Admin>"Manage Boards">New Forum)
5) Now go to this, newly created, forums modification page. (Admin>"Manage Boards">"ShoutBox">"Modify")
6) There'll be the new option: "URL to redirect user to"
(This was created by the Redirection Mod)
7) In that field, paste the link to the shoutbox arhive: http://yoursite.com/index.php?action=shout_archive
8) Done :D . Now when anyone clicks on that forum, it will take them to a single shoutbox page. (Instead of having it on every page of the site).

thank you, do you have shoutbox working with 1.1? i can get it to load in that and can only get the shoutbox working with 1.5. If you got it working with 1.1 please let me know how you did it. I havent seen the redirection mod but will look for it. It be interesting if you could get that shoutbox page(forum) to open in a new window almost like a chat room :-)
This is the greatest thing that's happened to my site since Simplemachines itself.
(or maybe the Cerberus theme or maybe the Enhanced Quick Reply. Ha! this rules.)

I think is 1.0.5. The version number is at the bottom, see http://astralqueen.hostdestroyer.com/index.php?theme=2

Yes, I only run 1.05
So I don't know what you would do in SMF 1.1
However, maybe you can make the changes manually?
I have no idea what the differences are between 1.1 and 1.05...
But maybe if you manually perform the modifications, it'll work.
This article explains how you can do this:
http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=34526.0
sorry, i can't find the solution i need ;)
here how it's lay out on the site:
www.semenka.com/start2.php?seme=main
here's how i'd like it to look:
http://www.semenka.com/forum/index.php?action=shout_archive
here's what i added to start2.php:
<?php
if (function_exists('smfshout'))
smfshout(); ?>
i'm really kinda lost...
Sorry, but are you asking a general question about the mod....
Or are you asking about the tutorial I made a page back?

thank you, do you have shoutbox working with 1.1? i can get it to load in that and can only get the shoutbox working with 1.5. If you got it working with 1.1 please let me know how you did it. I havent seen the redirection mod but will look for it. It be interesting if you could get that shoutbox page(forum) to open in a new window almost like a chat room :-)
I think is 1.0.5. The version number is at the bottom, see http://astralqueen.hostdestroyer.com/index.php?theme=2
I have also tried install this mod with SMF 1.1RC1 but I found the shout.template.php file always empty. Do you also have the same problem?
NO i finally go tit to work in 1.1 but the scroll on it is terrible, it jerks and moves and stops and moves again, something in the templates i suspect, until they finally update the templates we are at the mercy of waiting

I'm asking a template question, just click the links and you will see.
Problem with install on 1.0.5
When I click Proceed to install the package, I get an error:
An Error Has Occurred!
2: fopen(/home2/expo3/public_html/bb/Packages/installed.list): failed to open stream: Permission denied
File: /home2/expo3/public_html/bb/Sources/Subs-Package.php
Line: 1476
Then after I go back to my forum, I get this error:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare smfshout() (previously declared in /home2/expo3/public_html/bb/Sources/Subs.php:1827) in /home2/expo3/public_html/bb/Sources/Subs.php on line 1834
I go back in and restore the old Subs.php and everything goes back to normal.. What's wrong? I'm not that great with coding and whatnot. I did have the shoutbox installed on my old yabb forum, but the smf, I'm having problems with. Any help?
i reinsalled ultimate shoutbox in SMF 1.1 RC1 but calling the soutbox
Adding this:
';
if (function_exists('smfshout'))
smfshout();
echo '
i have this error:

I would manually reinstall the mod ... specifically the sources/shout.php file first, as the script can't find that.
If that doesn't help, then reupload the backup SMF files you have that the pac man adjusted for the shoutbox and make sure that it works from "clean". Then either do another pac man install (guessing it won't work) or do a manual install.
Very nice mod. Took me awhile to get it to work with my theme, but it's perfect now. I did notice a security flaw though. It displays on the login page as well. If you have secured forums, you might not want that. Here's how I fixed it
if ($context['user']['is_logged'])
{
', smfshout(), '
}
My PHP is limited to editting existing code, and I had a bunch of table info in there too that I removed, so I'm not 100% sure the syntax is correct, but you get the idea.
I have the shoutbox installed but it appears on the forum login page which means guests and anybody can see it. The members dont want that as it is a private board. How can I stop it being displayed on this page and only have it appear after you have logged in to the forum?
thanks for your help

any ideas, I really dont want this to show on the login page? :(
I just told how to do just that, in the post directly before your first one :)
I'm sorry, I didnt see that when I posted, some glitch
What template are you putting that code into and where? (I'm a novice)
Thanks :D
You put it in index.template.php, the one for your theme. I'm using the Helios theme, and I wanted mine to display in a new frame, between the stats and the menu. So I editted /Themes/Helios/index.template.php, found the empty space between the 2, and added this:
// Shoutbox
if ($context['user']['is_logged'])
{
echo '<div style="padding-left: 0px; align: left;">'.$topbox.'<div style="padding: 6px; text-align: left;"><table width="99%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"><tr><td width="15%" bordercolor="black">Shoutbox <BR><font size="1">Newest posts at top</font></td><td width="79%" class="smalltext" bordercolor="gray" align="left" style="font-family: verdana, arial, sans-serif;">', smfshout(), '
</td><td width="5%"> </td></tr></table>'.$botbox.'</div>';
}
else
{
echo '<div style="padding-left: 0px; align: left;">'.$topbox.'<div style="padding: 6px; text-align: left;"><table width="99%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"><tr><td width="15%" bordercolor="black">Shoutbox <BR><font size="1">Newest posts at top</font></td><td width="79%" class="smalltext" bordercolor="gray" align="left" style="font-family: verdana, arial, sans-serif;">
</td><td width="5%"> </td></tr></table>'.$botbox.'</div>';
}
But that's adding the frames I wanted, so my 1st example is simpler to follow.
Where you put the code in your file would depend on where you want the shoutbox to display on your site.
Although installed without any errors i get this " Unable to load the 'main' template." when i try to use the shoutbox.

I spent the last 2 hours going over this Thread trying to find an answer, but either there was nothing posted or I missed it...
I have been attempting to add this shout to the main page of my website... www.2911youth.com.
I have tried many things, but nothing seems to work... the closest thing I got was a little box on the main page stating "HACKING ATTEMPT..."
Anyway, could somone send me a SIMPLE walk thru on how to add this to my home page? I just beginning to learn PHP SSI and the such, so a lot of techical stuff wont help me much. A clean copy/paste code would be nice!
Thanks!

try looking at your board's http://yoururl//ssi_examples.php there should be an example at the bottom that tells you how to add the shoutbox to your home page. The page file must have the extension '.php'.
I was finally able to get a good download of this.
Can't quite get it to display the way I want but I'm working on it. It seems to stutter and skip in Firefox also.

Well I got the left alignment thing taken care of though the suggested method didn't work but it did get me in the right area. Now I would like to be able to re-orient the "View All" "Input box" and the "Shout" button into a table 3 columns wide to make it a little shorter overall. Any help with that?

Is there a way or a code need to make this happen?
My site, www.2911youth.com, is a basic HTML formated site... I have been reading the SSI information that was with ShoutBox, but it stops short of telling you what to do.

My best advice is to get some other SSI function working on your main page first ... maybe the welcome or the top posters bit. My best guess is that 1)your host has some apache/php setting "wrong" or 2) you're almost, but not quite getting the script right -- meaning its likely not the shoutbox SSI that is the stumbling block here.
Did you read the main SSI examples? in the root SMF directory? Did you read the excellent SSI FAQs (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=14906.0) written by Tomer?
I see that you have the SMF shoutbox working on your forums, so we can discount that as a problem area.

Yep, skipping happens in NS too. It appears like this because the gap that should appear at the end of the scroll is missing. I posted about this more than three months ago, but it seems that Grudge is busy with other things, and can no longer support this mod. Shame, I like it a lot, as there are few things that need to be looked at.
Same here as do my members. Turning off the scrolling is a temporary fix at least.

I've just done that. I had inteneded to before, but just forgot about it (I usually use IE to browse). The problem is that it makes the box very long, so I've reduced the number of shouts displayed to six. Not ideal, and is still a bit too long.
Has Grudge said anything about others being free to work on his mod? It would be nice to get this bug ironed out.

Well I finally got it! Though I do have to re-figure out the layout on the archive view all page cause it kind of got fouled up in the fixing of the main shoutbox to make it more vertically compact. Figuring it out as I go... Keeping my fingers crossed and my files backed up!!!

Ok now i've really done it and i'm hoping someone can help me out here..
With the changes that I did to get the "View all" "Message" and "Shout" fields to display in a table 3 wide somehow it seems that now when I type in my shout and hit the "Shout" button I get forwarded to the Shout Archive page, when on the shout archive page if I type in a message there and hit the shout button it posts my message just fine but only if I use the message window which is on the archive page and not the one in the shout box itself.. Make sense? Anybody have any ideas??

Hi! I have a question.. is there a way to restrict the time between the shouts?
I mean, i have had a lot of "shout-spammers" lately and i would like to give an amount of time between each shout... In other words, if someone posts a shout, is there a way to make him wait about 5 minutes untill he can shout agian?
Thanks

If you don't allow guests to shout, then create a basic members group, and check 'deny' to shouts, and add problem members to this as 'no primary membergroup'. I don't think that is what you are really looking for, but hope it will be help.
When I delete an entry in the shout box I get thrown back to the index page. What do I need to do to stay on the same page/theme that the shout box is in?
Thanks.
It could do with a series of check boxes, and check all, that's for sure.
Does anyone know if Grudge is developing this at all now, or if he's allowing others to develope this?
Dose this work with RC1?
'Ello all,
Just a question from a n00b and a completely PHP-illiterate moron. I'm using Helios, and I was wondering if it's possible to have the Shoutbox appear inbetween the Info Center and that credits bar [the one where it describes how fast the page loaded and how it's created by Bloc) and have it scroll horizontally. If so, could someone be so kind as to detail the PHP I would need to alter and edit?

In one section of my forum I use Helios Multi. I put my shoutbox where you describe.
Open up index.template.php
After this section:
// Show the menu here, according to the menu sub template.
And before this section:
// The main content should go here. A table is used because IE 6 just can't handle a div.
Add this:
// Shoutbox
if ($context['user']['is_logged'])
{
echo '<div style="padding-left: 0px; align: left;">'.$topbox.'<div style="padding: 6px; text-align: left;"><table width="99%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"><tr><td width="15%" bordercolor="black">Shoutbox <BR><font size="1">Newest posts at top</font></td><td width="79%" class="smalltext" bordercolor="gray" align="left" style="font-family: verdana, arial, sans-serif;">', smfshout(), '
</td><td width="5%"> </td></tr></table>'.$botbox.'</div>';
}
else
{
echo '<div style="padding-left: 0px; align: left;">'.$topbox.'<div style="padding: 6px; text-align: left;"><table width="99%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"><tr><td width="15%" bordercolor="black">Shoutbox <BR><font size="1">Newest posts at top</font></td><td width="79%" class="smalltext" bordercolor="gray" align="left" style="font-family: verdana, arial, sans-serif;">
</td><td width="5%"> </td></tr></table>'.$botbox.'</div>';
}
All this assuming you installed the Shoutbox mod and enabled it in the 'Edit Features and Options' section.
Thanks for all your help man, but it definitely did not do what you said it would. o_o Haha.
It went inbetween the Stats bar and the news fader box, completely covering up the panel with "Home, Search, Admin, etc." and the messages didn't even go horizontally, they showed up vertically.
Thanks for you help, though. :) Anyone got any ideas?
Can someone explain it from the beginning please.There are 45 pages and everything is complicated:(

1. look at reply #658 in this thread
2. it really depends on where you want it placed... either be specific about where you want it, or just place the code in 'somewhere' and see where it works ... and swearing isn't really appropriate on these boards (little kids and all that).
3. no idea but probably.
45 pages is a lot yes, but i strongly urge you to read most of it anyways ... almost any Q you would have is likely already answered ... and the forum search feature is working great again with the new server here.
I need urgent help on this one. I installed the ShoutBox manually on one of my themes. Everything worked fine yesterday, but it totally bombed out on the server (probably for most of the day and night). It's been verified by my webhost that the forum was opening a lot of connections to MySQL and not closing it. Is this because I enabled the live update for the shouts in ShoutBox or something I did wrong on my end?
If I wanted to uninstall this mod, how can I change/remove those database changes? I know how to edit the PHP files, but don't know about the SQL part.
Earlier I got a SMF database error...saying it might be my server. Now I get this error only:
Can't open file: 'yabbse_sessions.MYI'. (errno: 145)
EDIT: For some reason, I have a whole bunch of backup_yabbse_.... tables listed in phpMyAdmin also. Can I use the backup copy of yabbse_sessions for this? Not sure about the .MYI part. Not very savvy in database...
Forum is down :'(
Thanks.
Got it up and running again...I don't know why this worked, but it did. What I did was I made a backup of my current database. Then I just re-uploaded it to my webhost and that seems to have fixed the problem. Any explanation on this?
Does anyone know what caused this problem in the first place? Web host said it was opening a lot of connections to MySQL but not closing it.
Do I need to worry about it again? Correction to my post above. What I meant to say was that I checked that box in the ShoutBox settings (it says that it may cause the server to overload or something to that extent). Did that cause the problem? I unchecked it hoping that fixes everything...hopefully it won't go crashing tomorrow...again.
One last question. Can someone mention where each file in this mod package goes? I know where most of them go since the .mod file (and even the .xml file) mentioned them. But I remember seeing like one or two more where I didn't know where to put exactly. Did a search here and saw a path mentioned and just moved one of those files I found to that directory instead (forgot name of file now).
You mean the 'Refresh' function. In an earlier version, Grudge made it query the database every 0.5 seconds, if I remember correctly, and would refresh if there were fresh shouts,but he changed it to evert 5 seconds because of load issues. Did you download this recently, or some months ago? - If some months ago, it would be worth you checking that you have the last version.
I too have the query option unchecked. The shoutbox refreshes with each page reload. It's not ideal either if members start using it as some kind of chat (it can eat bandwidth like that, and cause extra load too). This probably isn't a problem in reality; it's just the way an old shoutbox I had with a YaBB forum ended up being used, but that functioned in a way that made it more 'chat friendly'.
Sorry about that...yeah the Refresh option :D
I unchecked it once I got my forum back up and running again. It should be the most recent version. I got it through package manager just the other day.
Yeah, I was actually thinking of the ShoutBox as more of a chat room. Still wondering if I should get back the chatroom. I never used it much and from time to time had problems with the Java loading.
Grudges shutbox will not work well as pseudo-chat, as you need the refreshes. Also, you need to increase the length of messages allowed, but I'm sure that is easy enough. Members will have to refresh the whole page, which can't be good in you have 10 doing it the same time, and it's will definitely eat bandwidth. - I'm sure you could put it in an iframe, and just refresh that though.
However, these would be far better:
Integrated Chat Mod. (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=45237.0)
Also, there are instructions somewhere for integrating FlashChat into your SMF forum. I think it costs just £5, or $5 for FlashChat, so is well worth considering too. - Can't find it at the moment, search is down again. - I thought that was fixed! ::)
Edit: Here it is! (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=27137.0)
I ask you a little help.
I installed shoutbox correctly and It works. Now I've seen that in Internet Explorer there are some empty lines before the first one....but in firefox no... Is possible to modify the shout in this way eve for firefox... ???
Thanks..
Hi Madley,
It's a bug. It's been mentioned before by myself, and others. It also occurs in Netscape. The solution is turn off scrolling in the Shoutbox options. Yes, it would be nice if someone could sort this out. Grudge seems to stopped giving support for this and most of his mods as he is too busy with other SMF developments. I'm sure that it will get sorted out eventually.

Thaks for your answer Col.
I think the solution is quite simple but i don't know php otherwise i'll do it myself.... ::)
I think it's a Java Script problem, but ain't sure about that. No, it's nothing I can fix either. Turning off scrolling is the best option for now.
5. Execute Code shoutPdb.php
6. Execute Modification index.php Failure
7. Execute Modification ./Sources/Subs.php Success
when installing.
any ideas? forum just has Joomla bridge and PHP 4 compatibility upgrade!

Can anyone help me out getting the shouts to align left rather then center? I think it would clean things up on my layout a bit. Make it visually easier to scroll down the list of whos posting...
Find it here running on 1.0.5 running helios_multi theme..

Thanks in advance
Jon
edit shout.template.php
find:
echo '
<center>';
change <center> to <left>.
find:
</form>
</center>';
change </center> to </left>
Well I got the left alignment thing taken care of though the suggested method didn't work but it did get me in the right area. Now I would like to be able to re-orient the "View All" "Input box" and the "Shout" button into a table 3 columns wide to make it a little shorter overall. Any help with that?
(http://www.wheelingadventures.com/Board/Images/Shouter2.jpg)
Well I finally got it! Though I do have to re-figure out the layout on the archive view all page cause it kind of got fouled up in the fixing of the main shoutbox to make it more vertically compact. Figuring it out as I go... Keeping my fingers crossed and my files backed up!!!
(http://www.wheelingadventures.com/Board/Images/Shouter3.jpg)
looks great!
Can you show me the file that you edited that the View All and message box appears in the same line?
Thanx!
The problem with the Ultimate Shoutbox is that after each "Shout" Button click the page reload at the top and not where the Shoutbox is... which code is to change to solve that?
Hi,
If you mean, just refresh the shoutbox, and not the whole page, you should be able to achieve this using an iframe. I might do it that way myself soon, as I've set up a test page porting out onto my HTML pages. I found though, when my forum went belly-up, yesterday, it also killed my test page. If I put the shoutbox in an iframe, only the iframe should be affected, and perhaps I can elbow a refresh button in there somehow. :-\
If someone here can tell me how to include a page refresh button into a page, that would be appreciated.
Sorry I am late to follow discussion here :) and already 46 pages..
Its possible to add code "anti spam" or "waiting next post for each user"?
Thank You.
That would be nice, but pie in the sky I fear. The best thing to do is not allow guests to post, but if you are still having problems, only allow trusted groups to post. I also have 'shoutban' group for anyone that is otherwise a good member. ;)
First off let me say this... I can be simple and I've learned to accept it so I hope you can too. Maybe even find it in your heart to try and help me out a bit...
I want to be able to type longer sentences in my shoutbox, longer then will fit on one line. Much like the "Character number to split long words at" which will split one lone word into two lines if it exceeds whatever number you define. I can fit roughly 100 characters of message text depending on the username and date info but how can I change the maximum input to something like 200 characters??
Thanks in advance...
Heres a link just incase you think it important.... (http://www.wheelingadventures.com/Board/index.php)
Hiya ToyDozer,
Open up shout.template.php, and search for:
echo '
<input type="text" value="', $txt['shoutbox_8'], '" name="message" size="16" maxlength="100" onfocus="if (this.value == \'', $txt['shoutbox_8'], '\')this.value=\'\'" /><br />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="', $txt['shoutbox_9'], '" />
</form>
</center>';
Change the value in 'maxlength="100"' to whatever value you'd like.
Thank you.. That was painfully obvious now that its been pointed out to me ;D

Thank You Col for the tips..
Shoutban right?
Yeah, I created a Member Group called "Shout Ban", and apply it as a hidden group. I also created one for baning PMs, one to restrict editing, and yet another that restricts a member to just reading, as this stops them from doing anything disruptive. I've hardly used these functions, but it comes in handy to have them set up in advance. If you you have a totally restricted the account like this, and you wish to keep some form of communication open, you can create an alternative ban (and membergroup), where they have no access to the usual boards, but have access to a board that only that group can see. There you can discuss their behaviour, and get them to promise to behave themselves, or whatever. All depends upon the nature of your forum. The permissions of SMF are its strongest feature, I feel.
Hi.
Can somebody rewrite the templatecode for the shoutbox? As it do not validate at www.w3.org?
I have found a scroll-dhtml script that validates:

Hi frheimen,
I can't code, but I'm sure it ain't that simple. It would be nice to make it standards complient though. I'm guessing that it is "marquee" that is responsible for the shoutbox scrolling falling over in Netscape and Firefox too.
I would like to see the Shoutbox bugs fixed.
Col,
I'm sorry, I've been so busy recently to check this topic. Can you let me know which bugs exist in the shoutbox?
Grudge
Oh, great Grudge,
I know you've been busy, so this is really appreciated.
When scrolling is enabled, there is no space at the end of the shouts in Netscape and Firefox. This doesn't sound like much, but it has the effect of the shouts appearing to jump, and worse, the lastest shout has only just made it into view, when the marquee starts over again. You should try it, it's pretty ugly.
I think there is something else, but I can't think what it is for the moment.

Would you know why when you delete a shout, that you get kicked back to the index page instead of the page that the shout box is at? The shout box is in one thread where only a certain group members are allowed and the index page is in another theme where general users are.
Yes, getting kicked back to the index page when you delete a shout is a right royal pain in the butt. Also, the addition of checkboxes for multi-deletion would help a lot. - I guess that is more of an enhancement, but I think it's needed.
You'll wish you never asked, Grudge! ;D
Hello,
I tried to install the shoutbox some time ago but I coudn't use it because my forum is in Portuguese. Can you please make a Portuguese version for the shoutbox? I really would like to have a shoutbox on my fórum :(
Thanks
tLoz,
All you need to do is after install open Modifications.english.php, copy and paste the contents of that file, and paste them into Motidications.portuguese.php
Others,
I will update the shoutbox today...
! Added checkboxes to archive page
! Cleaned up archive page
! Deleting shouts now redirects back to previous page.
! Fixed settings for RC2
File updated on the mod site, new version 1.32. Note if using shoutbox with SSI, the redirect stuff won't work unless using RC2.
Please report bugs :P
Great, will do.
Also, what about refreshing the shoutbox (not the whole page)?

I have SMF 1.05 can I install the new version of the shoutbox?
Can you please help me puting the shoutbox? I would like to put it above the Home, Ajuda etc menu. www.nintendogeeks.globalfree.net/forum/
Thanks
Col, think that may be a bit too much for me right now, my todo list can't take any more ;D
tL0z, you can install the new version of the shoutbox, yes. When installed use your ftp client to go to your Themes/default/languages directory and download modifications.english.php and modifications.portuguese.php, copy the lines to do with the shoutbox from the english one to the portuguese then reupload.
As for positioning, please look through this topic - there are lots of pointers on that.
Erm, forgive my ignorance, but do I uninstall the previous version, or will this go over the top of 1.3.1?
Also, I have tried uninstall, and I get the following errors:
3. Execute Modification ./Sources/ModSettings.php Failure
4. Execute Modification ./Themes/default/languages/Modifications.english.php Failure
I guess I will have to go through these by hand, but do I just uninstall anyway, and then go to the files, and use the original mod file to check what I need to remove/change?
I have done this stuff before with YaBB, but I've become accustomed, and spoilt, with the package manager. ::) :D
You do need to uninstall yes.
Ah, you need to uninstall with the old version, then upload the new version.
I'm trying to install but it seems to be an error here:

But can I uninstall, with errors, and change the two remaining files by hand? I've not tried uninstalling with errors before, so I am unsure of the consequences.
You can uninstall with errors, but then manually fix the ones which had the errors in.
Note for 1.0.5 users, the package was broken, I've uploaded a fixed version to the site now.
Hiya Grudge,
Was that addion of the old Mod file? It wouldn't install, and I assum,ed that was the problem, but I cannot, for the life of me, work out how to create to tar.gz file. I can extract fine, but I've been pulling my hair out.
Anyway, back to the Shoutbox, are you planning to fix the marquee problem with Firefox and Netscape?
The shoutbox seems to have installed fine, (correction, view all produces the following error)

I get the same message when trying to 'View All' shouts, plus I'm still brought the the index page after deleting a shout.
I reverted back to v. 1.3.1 When I sent to Package Manager I also noticed that the [uninstall] link for my Integrated Chat Mod was missing. I got it back after I uninstalled v 1.3.2 of Shout.
I swear I'm cracking up today.
I've uploaded it again, that error should go.
I don't think it's possible to have MArquee work on firefox?
Deleting on shouts should redirect properly now?
Yeah, I know, should have done it on a test forum, bu your latest version has jsu broken my forum! ::) :-[ :D
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare smfshout() (previously declared in /home/xxxxxx/public_html/community/Sources/Subs.php:1837) in /home/xxxxxx/public_html/community/Sources/Subs.php on line 1844
Do you have a simple solution, or do I have to go to backup?
Well, I fixed that easily enough, just removed the seconf entry of the following:
function smfshout()
{
global $sourcedir;
include_once("$sourcedir/shout.php");
shout_display();
shout_form();
}
I know that's obviuos to you, Grudge, but just in case anyone else, who like me, is pretty useless at this stuff. :D
Well, it all seems fine and dandy as far as multi-deletes go.
As RoarinRow says, you are brought back to the index page after deleting, but at least now we can delete multiple posts.
Is there any chance that you can replace marquee with JS to handle the scrolling? After all, with the Shoutbox in it's present form, with marquee, the SMF forum will not validate. No pressure though! ::) :D

antichrist, what version are you on?
As for redirection not working, I can't figure out why, it works fine for me. For a test can you try deleting from the "Profile" screen as that always works for me. Also, verify that your shout.php file (Sources directory) makes some kind of reference to $_SESSION['old_url'].
It sounds like I may have to bite the bullet it do an uglier fix.

I'm not sure that I follow. If you mean my own profile page, then no, it still brings me back to the index page if I delete a shout.
QuoteAlso, verify that your shout.php file (Sources directory) makes some kind of reference to $_SESSION['old_url'].

Just checked, and I have the following:
if (!empty($_SESSION['old_url']) && strpos($_SESSION['old_url'], 'action=delete') === false)
redirectexit($_SESSION['old_url']);
else
redirectexit();
}

Hello everyone.
I have a 1.0.5 smf forum in Greek Language and i was hoping to add the shoutbox. I'm not that familiar at the moment with forums/.php etc so i can't seem to understand things that most of you take for granted.
I was wondering whether someone could guide me through the process of installing the shoutbox on my 1.0.5 Greek language forum (upload, install, how to put it on the bottom of every page after all tables and generally all the actions that need to be done).
Sorry for the disturbance.
Thank you in advance

i can however shout using the shout function. for example i can shout through the ssi_examples.php page
i also installed this on my test fourm that has no other mods installed on it and still get this same error.

Ok..bit baffled here. I have installed the Shoutbox mod, I just cant seem to put it where I would like it on my page.
I would like to put it at the top of the forum next to the logo in the white space there.
Forum is at: www.top100fitnesssites.com/Forum/index.php
Any ideas guys would be much abliged!
Bee,
If you want to see what I have done, I have this in any template, and place my shoutbox to the main body of the forum:
Quote// The main content should go here. A table is used because IE 6 just can't handle a div.
echo '
<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"><tr>
<td id="bodyarea" style="padding: 1ex 20px 2ex 20px;">';
}
function template_main_below()
{
global $context, $settings, $options, $scripturl, $txt;
echo '</td>
<td valign="top" width="135">
<div id="shouthead">Shoutbox</div>
<div id="shoutbox"> ', smfshout(), '
</div>
</td><td width="18"> </td>
</tr></table>';
// Show the "Powered by" and "Valid" logos, as well as the copyright. Remember, the copyright must be somewhere!
echo '
You'll need to adjust it place it in your header.
Also, from my CSS file:
Quote#shouthead {
margin: 29px 0px 0px 0px;
padding: 3px;
background: #6b8eae;
border: solid #828181;
border-width: 1px 1px 0px 1px;
color: #ffffff;
}
#shoutbox {
padding: 0px 2px 2px 2px;
border: solid #828181;
border-width: 1px;
}
This gives the shoutbox a default theme look. I hope it helps.
I love this mod but I'm never seccessful on installing it.

hi i wanna add shoutbox over the all forum topics ( over the link tree - under the search)
and not centered. left sided messages..
i am using 7dana theme..
could anyone help me ?
is it possible to allow people that i give permissions to on groups to delete posts but also bann from the shoutbox ???
Sleepy,
Create a new group, "shoutban", or whatever, and set the shoutbox post option to deny. It is generally safe to set the other pemissions in this group to the same as your newbie group, but look at any deny permissions you might have in there.
Any members that you wish to ban, go their profile...................and I've just realised that I'm answering a different question the one you've asked! :)
I think the only way to achieve that is to allow that post-edit group permissin to modify profiles. They will need to be able to add the member to the Shoutban group in the member's profile.

There is a mod that allows you to hide template options in member profiles. I think you can decide what they can, or cannot see. Maybe it could be addapted to do this by membergroup? Having said that, the URL to the template with the shoutbox could still be distributed without your consent. That's the only way that springs to mind. Someone else will probably have a better idea than me! :D

I posted how I did it (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=8415.msg450060#msg450060) for the right side, just recently. I have zero php knowledge, so cannot be completely sure. However, if you look at the call for the "template_main_below", you will see that I've added my shoutbox after that, within it's own td tags. You will need to move this to before the template call, for it to appear on the left. The shoutbox will then appear on all your forum pages. I'm not sure that is what you want, but I am uncertain of how to make it appear on the index page only.

There is a mod that allows you to hide template options in member profiles. I think you can decide what they can, or cannot see. Maybe it could be addapted to do this by membergroup? Having said that, the URL to the template with the shoutbox could still be distributed without your consent. That's the only way that springs to mind. Someone else will probably have a better idea than me! :D
which mode?
i have try to edit the index.template.php, and use this code
if ($context['user']['is_logged'])
{
echo ' <table align="center" border="2px" width="100%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="4"><tr class="titlebg"><td align="left">Shoutbox</td></tr><tr class="windowbg"><td align="center">', smfshout(), '</td></tr></table>';
}
and i have found in shout.template.php this:
if ($modSettings['shoutdir'] != 0)
i think that here check the permissions to shout, then if i write this line correcly and before the piece of code that i have write before the shoutbox doesn't appear to the members that can not shout..
but i don't know how to write correcly :(
KleeOtr,
This (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=44299.msg319072;topicseen#msg319072) is the thread you want. However, I think it will be a poor solution, as it stands. If you cam get someone to modify it, that would be different.
Getting loads of this error in the log.
8: Undefined index: url_direct
File: /home/legends/public_html/Themes/default/shout.template.php (eval?)
Line: 8
Edit:
I have it set to show 10 shouts at a time. How come sometimes, all 10 won't fit in the box and it uses a scrollbar? Anyway to prevent this?

Well I finally got it! Though I do have to re-figure out the layout on the archive view all page cause it kind of got fouled up in the fixing of the main shoutbox to make it more vertically compact. Figuring it out as I go... Keeping my fingers crossed and my files backed up!!!

Can you tell me how to view them on the same line, I've got my shoutbox to look like the default theme at the moment but it'll look much better if the shoutform items were on the same line.

I just created a table in the BoardIndex.template.php file using the code:
// Show ShoutBox In A Table
if (function_exists('smfshout'))
echo '
<table border="0" width="100%" class="tborder" cellspacing="' , ($context['browser']['is_ie'] || $context['browser']['is_opera6']) ? '1' : '0' , '" cellpadding="4" style="margin-bottom: 2ex;">
<tr>
<td class="catbg">ShoutBox</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="left">', smfshout(), '</td>
</tr>
</table>';Most of that is just from the News fade code, i inserted that code above the "// Show some statistics next to the link tree if SP1 info is off." line to get it where it is.
I still need someone to tell me how to make the shoutform display on only one line, can anyone help?
Andy
Guys I am having real trouble. I have been through all of the post here and still can't get it right.
I have added the code, as below, I just need someone to tell me where I'm going wrong:
Quote// --></script>
<script language="JavaScript1.2" type="text/javascript" src="', $settings['default_theme_url'], '/fader.js"></script>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>';
}
/* Each category in categories is made up of:
id, href, link, name, is_collapsed (is it collapsed?), can_collapse (is it okay if it is?),
new (is it new?), collapse_href (href to collapse/expand), collapse_image (up/down iamge),
and boards. (see below.) */
echo '<div><table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="5">';
echo '<tr><td width="180" valign="top">';
// Shout Box is right here!
echo '<div class="tborder"style="width: 180px;"><table border="0" width="180" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="5" style="table-layout: fixed;">
<tr>
<td class="catbg" width="100%">ShoutBox</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="windowbg2" width="100%" valign="middle" align="center" colspan="2"><div style="overflow: auto; width: 100%;">',smfshout(),'</div></td>
</tr>
</table></div><br />';
echo '</td>
<td width="100%" valign="top">';
foreach ($context['categories'] as $category)
{
echo '
<div class="tborder"><table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="5">
<tr>
I haven't worked much with PHP, so you'll have to forgive me if I've done something really obviusly wrong. Please just let me know, so I can stop pulling my hair out.

I registered, probably too late and couldnt see the shoutbox, but i think i can imagine what it was like. I noticed you were using a different theme which may be the problem, this code that follows has only been tested on the default "Core" theme so may not work on other themes:
Well to add the shoutbox to every page you need to insert this code into the index.template.php file instead of the BoardIndex.template.php file. Put this code above the line "// The main content should go here."
// Show ShoutBox In A Table
if (function_exists('smfshout'))
echo '
<br>
<table border="0" width="96%" align="center" class="tborder" cellspacing="' , ($context['browser']['is_ie'] || $context['browser']['is_opera6']) ? '1' : '0' , '" cellpadding="4" style="margin-bottom: 2ex;">
<tr>
<td class="catbg">ShoutBox</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="left">', smfshout(), '</td>
</tr>
</table>';As for the size you set that in the admin panel under the shoutbox settings.
Hope that helps!
Andy
Your mod title is "Ultimate Shoutbox" yet your mod description reads "This is your basic shoutbox."... well which is it? Is it the ultimate shoutbox or is it a basic one. If this is a basic one can someone point me to where i can get a better one? LOL
Sorry bout that Jester but How do i make it so you have the option to scroll though??
As in scroll up and down for say the last 10 posts ike you do with a normal page??

Go to admin; options & settings; select Shoutbox; check the scroll box; save.

As McNeo said, just nonsense stuff. "Hellos"; "goodbyes"; smilies; PM me; I sent you a PM; Chat room; Messenger; "Admin, get your finger out you ass"; whatever. You might be surprised how nice and useful a feature this can be some kinds of forums.
Ah, I see.
Thanks
Another question :D
Is possible to have a link near 'Shoutbox Archive' to the smiles list? like the one present when u start a new post, and have some smile in the popup, i hope u have understand what i have say ;)
Hello,
I'm trying to unistall the shoutbox to upgrade my forum version but it says:

How can I set my shoutbox so that guests can't view it. I would like it visible on all pages for members only. I also don't want guests viewing the shout archive.
I'm assuming that guests have no access to your forum, so why not put the call to the shoutbox in BoardIndex.Template.php file instead of the Index.php file? The shoutbox will only displayed on the index page, but I don't think it will show on your login page.
I'm sure that there will be another way to do this exactly as you'd wish, but if you don't get the answer you need, maybe what I've suggested Will work for you.
Actually guests do have access to a portion of my forum. Some boards are guest view. I would like it to only show up when a member is logged in.
I know it can be done as I've seen it on other SMF sites.
This looks like it would work, but where would I put it?

Quote from: Col on January 10, 2006, 10:31:07 AMIf you want to see what I have done, I have this in any template, and place my shoutbox to the main body of the forum:
Quote // The main content should go here. A table is used because IE 6 just can't handle a div.
echo '
<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"><tr>
<td id="bodyarea" style="padding: 1ex 20px 2ex 20px;">';
}
function template_main_below()
{
global $context, $settings, $options, $scripturl, $txt;
echo '</td>
<td valign="top" width="135">
<div id="shouthead">Shoutbox</div>
<div id="shoutbox"> ', smfshout(), '
</div>
</td><td width="18"> </td>
</tr></table>';
// Show the "Powered by" and "Valid" logos, as well as the copyright. Remember, the copyright must be somewhere!
echo '
You'll need to adjust it place it in your header.
Also, from my CSS file:
Quote#shouthead {
margin: 29px 0px 0px 0px;
padding: 3px;
background: #6b8eae;
border: solid #828181;
border-width: 1px 1px 0px 1px;
color: #ffffff;
}
#shoutbox {
padding: 0px 2px 2px 2px;
border: solid #828181;
border-width: 1px;
}
After MUCH reading, this worked great for me! Except that the Shoutbox is wider than the body of the rest of the forum. I tried changing the <td valign="top" width=
"135"> to a smaller number but it didn't make any difference. (I have no idea, really, what these numbers mean; I'm just making wild guesses!) Any suggestions?
This is a great mod - my members love it - and I've found a lot of info reading through this thread. Thanks for any help you can give.
Raiwatson,
Have you checked the width with the shoutbox in Admin-->Edit Features and Options. There you will find: "Scroll box width (pixels)". That number, 135, is pixels. You can also set the height. I forget how these sizes interact with the HTML I posted. And if recall, it interacts differently when you have scrolling enabled, to disabled. - Can't remember, exactly.
I'm trying to install this on 1.1 RC2
I try it through the packages menu but whenever I click "apply mod" I get "You cannot download or install new packages because the Packages directory or one of the files in it are not writable!" I've tried changing all the Permissions, I've even used the FTP option in the acutal SMF forum to set them even with them all set to 777 it still comes up with this error.
I've tried manually uploading the file and setting it's permissions but it still comes up with this error.
I got it. I added:
if ($context['user']['is_logged'])
before the echo containing the shout code & now it's only visible to members after they've logged in. :)
hey great mod!
I am using the SSI function and have put the shoutbox in an INFRAME so that it can refresh every 15 seconds without refreshing the main webpage.
The only problem I have is that when it refreshes the text that you have been typing disspears as well, so you have to start all over again...
How can I solve this? I am very new to SSI and PHP coding, so some help is welcome...
PiP

I think you will have to have the refresh as a button with the iframe, rather that it auto-refreshing. I tried doing this a while ago, but there were some problems. I can't remember what though. It was probably me, and not the idea that was faulty! :D
Great Mod.
But is there a code available for popup smileys in the shoutbox and use them by click on it
I too would like to know how to get the Message Box and Shout button on the same line.

Firstly, thanks Grudge for an awesome mod :) Been setting it up to work in Joomla and was looking great. Secondly apologies if I should be posting in a new topic. I have been setting up a site and figured I should upgrade to 1.1RC2 before I fully intergrate smf into joomla. So I did this but forgot to uninstall the mods SMF bridge and shoutbox first. Then I started getting issues applying mods, so tried a full fresh install of 1.1RC2 instead of an upgrade. I am still getting the same problem. When I try to apply the mod, it will fail on two tests.
5. Execute Modification ./index.php Test failed
10. Execute Modification ./ssi_examples.php Test failed
As I am a total nub I have no idea how to fix this :( Any help would be appreciated!
Edit: I have CHMOD the two files with no luck.
Hello and good luck with this mode.
The instalation of the mode was succesful but i don't know where to put this code ???
if (function_exists('smfshout'))
smfshout();
I want this mode to aper below the forum logo or on somwhere there above :)
Is any one that can tell me on what line (place) of index.template.php I should do this modification.
Thanks again...
If you put it in index.template.php the shoutbox will appear on every page of the forum. To show it below the menu, put it after :
// The main content should go here.
echo '
<div id="bodyarea" style="padding: 1ex 0px 2ex 0px;">';
If you put it in Boardindex.template.php it will appear only in the index. Put the code after :
function template_main()
{
global $context, $settings, $options, $txt, $scripturl, $modSettings;
Thanks a lot L0relei u helped a lot but i think i might need some more help to get this thing done.
So I did what u told me and went to the place I wanted to but it created a big space as u can see.
(http://www.takime.net/mkportal/modules/gallery/album/a_181.jpg)
I make the message to move from left to right but is not moving from across the page.
What i want to do is to create just one string so the Shout ca be display on this place and the Shout to move from left to right. So I want to reduce this space as Mach as possible because I want only one Shout on the string moving from the left page of my forum to the end right.
The theme is adjusted @ 95% of them page so is not a fixed size. The size is always 95% of the screen.
I hope someone help me because I think I like this Shoutbox.
Goodbye.
It seems that you didn't setup the shoutbox in the admin panel, there are options to do what you want.

Modifications.<your language>.php
Open the file .mod in the package with a text editor and search for :
<edit file>
$languagedir/Modifications.english.php
</edit file>
<search for>
?>
</search for>
<add before>After these lines is the text to translate.

shout.template.php
Can someone tell me what should I modify to make shoutbox look like my chatboard? Meaning colors. Now it is way too dark.
(http://img394.imageshack.us/img394/1360/shout0bd.th.jpg) (http://img394.imageshack.us/my.php?image=shout0bd.jpg)
I found the file and I did the translation so I went to uplad it one the server and I saw that the file is like this: shout_v111.33.tar.gz
WinRar can extract files from the tar.gz but can't put them back again :-\
I tryed to find if i had a Modification folder or something on my server but Im sure that the shout_v111.33.tar.gz that this is the source of them mode or not :(
I don't know :'(
you can create a zip file with winrar... or do what I did... do a manual install
CrayZ, it seems that you didn't understand what I was trying to explain. The file .mod tells you the text to translate, you just have to copy the translation in the file Modsettings.<your language>.php
echo '
<p><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=shout_archive">', $txt['shoutbox_43'], '</a></p>
</center>';
Where should I put this to make it on same line with shout! and messagewindow?
I really prefer chat over a shoutbox. Thanks tho. Nice mod! :)
Who can help me or atleast explain to me why I have so much blank space below my "view all" "message" and "shout" fields.
If in my shout.template.php file I remove </form> from the tables conclusion it gets rid of most of the wasted space though in doing that it ofcourse fouls all sorts of things up. Heres how it looks and heres the code block from my shout.template file...

function template_shout_form()
{
global $context, $settings, $options, $txt, $user_info, $scripturl, $modSettings, $ID_MEMBER;
echo '
<center>
<form action="', $scripturl, '?action=shout" method="post">
<input type="hidden" value="', $context['qstr'], '" name="qstr" />

if (empty($modSettings['shout_noGuestEmail']))
echo '

}

</td><td>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="', $txt['shoutbox_9'], '" />
</td></tr></table></form>
</center>';

This mode just look grate thanks ;D
Thank you L0relei for the big help.
Now next question :D
Is any way so we can insrert a link for the smileys ??? ::)
I think this will be great because for a fourm that has lots of smileys is hard to remember a code for all of them.
Any one any idea ???
Thanks :)
Can somebody help?
What should I modify to align shotbox text to left side of the box?
Now text is in the middle?
Go tou your Admin Pannel and then go to Features and Options and then go to Shouts and there is a place Scrolling direction probably has to be left :-\
I used this one http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=8415.765 the code from L0relei and now look grate.
I think you have to create a new shout.template.php with his code and disable scrilling from dhe admin menu. It will be greate i think.
