SMF Shoutbox

[mzeblu]

Hi, this question was asked by a different member on page 60 but I did not see an answer.

Question: Where can I modify the width of the shoutbox. I can see where to modify the height, but not width.

[Mz.Beotch]

I have installed the mod Member Color Link, my members would like to see their specific membergroup colors in the shoutbox as well, is that possible? Where is this setting if there is one? 

[Harvester]

I have a problem.

I have a theme that is basically just the default theme copied and then I changed icons and some colors. Its called TBH2007114. When I apply the shoutbox mod, it installs and shows all the boardindex.template.php that it is going to modify and my theme is not in the list. My themes folder and all the php files in it are all CHMOD 777
After I apply the mod and go  to my forum index there is no shout box however if i change to, for instance, Babylon, (one of the boardindex.template.php that was modified during install) the shoutbox is there.
Please help as I would really like to get this to work for my members.

Thank You, Jared

Can anyone help me with this please??

I tried telling you last night but the site just stalled and would not load the response.

what iA said is that even though you have just copied the default theme---it is still a "new " theme. Which means that the mods will only install into the default original theme...that is my understanding.

I find that for it to work, on the others that I have installed for other places, you need to manually edit either the boardindex or the indextemplate file (some themes do not have the boardindex file).

in the items that are zipped up for the install (you need to unzip that file to your computer) are the instructions of what to enter into that file...if not then go to the downloads page and it will tell you what to edit with.

hope that helps some.

sbox.spanish_latin.php

You are doing fine in the english part but

No puedes ponerlo en tu sitio or quieres que alguna persona poner las palabras en espanol para ti.

**english**
You can not install it on your site or do you want some one to put the words in spanish for you.

No ya esta traducido, lo que no puedo es ponerlo en mi sitio para que me aparezca en ese lenguaje, que tendria que editar...

gracias...

English:

It is already translated, so I can not put it on my site is for me to appear in that language, which would have to edit ...

[DarkAngel612]

OK, I see now. It says it does not work on some languages so maybe this is one of them.

I assume you uploaded that file you posted to you server....so maybe ---and I am not sure so BACK UP and use a DUPLICATE sbox.php file to edit and upload it, that way if it doesn't work you can just upload your original one.

in sbox.php file  FIND:

loadLanguage('sbox');
      loadTemplate('sbox');
      template_shout_box();

REPLACE:

loadLanguage('sbox');  with loadLanguage('sbox.spanish_latin');

Save and upload the file to where it is located on your server.


Me I would just remove the english language  file and see if the spanish one will take over....gut remember

BACKUP you  files (site) first BEFORE doing anything and always use duplicate files...leaving your originals for getting you out of trouble.

If you are using nneonneo's Shoutbox then click the name to go to that page and there is some instructions to follow

Sorry I am not much help but am trying to learn how too.

Works fine, but... what about UTF-8 support?

Thanks and until then

[insurectus]

tried Deep's version of shoutbox sbox_v1.04 and im using
smf_1.1.4, installed successfully but shoutbox is not showing up
on the forum, I already tried to use the classic yabb and placed this code on boardindex.template.php that is placed on /smf/Themes/classic/


// display shoutbox
     if (function_exists('sbox')) sbox();


   // Show the "Board name      Topics  Posts    Last Post" header.
   echo '
<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="5" class="bordercolor">
   <tr class="titlebg">
      <td colspan="2">', $txt[20], '</td>
      <td width="6%" align="center">', $txt[330], '</td>
      <td width="6%" align="center">', $txt[21], '</td>
      <td width="22%" align="center">', $txt[22], '</td>
   </tr>';

any idea why?
Also, should the shoutbox extracted files be placed on a separate
folder except the sboxdb.php which should be placed under Sources folder and the sbox_setup.php under smf folder

[Silveri]

Ok, I have a really stupid question. What directory in mbirth's shoutbox are the language files located after installation? I find the sbox.php and sboxDB.php -files in the Sources -directory, but languages, nowhere.

A bug that I found was that I cannot change the shoutbox's settings in the admin panel unless I change my own language to english.

[h4ni]

Hello
how i can host my shoutbox in other ftp site and display it in my forum
when i use it in my forum i get all the time "cpu quota excede"
can you help me

[DarkAngel612]

@insurectus:

This code--- // display shoutbox
     if (function_exists('sbox')) sbox();
--- is supposed to go into all the boardindex files  or  the index.template since not all themes have the other file.

The files when installed through the package manager in your admin panel will be put where they belong.

May be in the default theme language folder
sbox.english.php
sbox.french.php
sbox.german.php
sbox.template.php

Sources folder??
sbox.php
sboxDB.php

If after entering that code and saving the file then uploading it to overwrite the previous one does not let you see the shoutbox on your forum then try putting the code in a different section of that file.

@Silveri:

Have you checked the language fodler within your default theme folder?

@h4ni:

which shoutbox are you trying to use...there is one that will use a lot of sources and will give that error....also is your site in safe mode? try turning off safe mode in the config file...um I guess in smf it is the Settings_bak.php
Settings.php files.


hope this helps a little.

Sorry to bump the thread, Is it not possible for me to post in this section? I have looked but theres no option to start a topic .

I have a few ideas but i cant post here ?

[DarkAngel612]

I know when viewing this thread you can only reply but if you want to start another subject you need to go to this section (the parent of where you are now)  SMF Coding Discussion

You will se the 3 child boards at the top then go about half way down the page to find the new topic link.

I have no clue why the section we are in has no ability to make a new topic, unless the idea is to piggyback onto another of the same type of problem or solution.

[Night09]

Thank you DarkAngel612 I will check it out
