8: Undefined index: printClass

File: /home/bgdgrott/public_html/forum/Themes/default/Shoutbox.template.php (Shoutbox_GetMsgs sub template - eval?)
Line: 469

Anyone knows how to fix this ?

It's a bug. Go to config panel and fill "Class style (CSS) of messages" with "smalltext", "normaltext" or something else, but don't live it blank.

Hi, who knows how to fix this ? I have SMF 2.0 RC2.

Shoutbox is not compatible with the
themes of SMF 2.0 RC2, this is not the unique error you're gonna find.

i installed HacksPark shoutBox on my website but i can see it only with the SMF Defaukt theme core


SMF version :- 1.1.10

[mailtokikku]

I have installed the shoutBox and as expected it only works with the default theme.. 

What are the steps to install it on other themes

You will have to go to the mod's page, find your version in the dropdown, select Parse, and that'll tell you all the edits made. Basically, any edit to any file whose name ends in .template.php is an edit you will have to check against your other theme(s).

Please see: Manual Installation of Mods

Alright, im a noob... Setting up my first SMF forum.. Installed this shoutbox, and can't seem to make it visible to anyone.. If I'm logged into admin, I can see it no problem and such. But on any other user, or as guest, can't see it at all.. I know its something simple, but there again, im a noob =(..

Thanks guys,
Shmak

I agree.

Hey. How do i swap the "Username" and "Timestamp" bits of the shoutbox around? so it would read:

[03|Jan 08:19 PM] username: message......
[03|Jan 08:17 PM] username: previous message......

instead of:

username [03|Jan 08:19 PM]: message....
username [03|Jan 08:17 PM]: previous message......

because i dont like the way that there is a gap if there is a short username between two longer usernames.

username [03|Jan 08:19 PM]: message....
         user [03|Jan 08:17 PM]: msssagggee....
username [03|Jan 08:11 PM]: message....

Hey guys, I used the 'search this topic' but couldn't find much about smileys -no matter how I spelled it- so here's my question; is there a way to have the smileys lay out the way they did in the old version of the shout box where you could see all of them instead of a drop down menu?  I have a good number of smileys on my board, and it's a pain in the ass to scroll all the way through if you happen to want the last on.

Hopefully, there's not a simple setting I missed somewhere along the way.  Thanks in advance for any suggestions! 

I'm using SMF v1.1.11 btw.

still and still and still problem with IE8.

Some of my members who use IE8 could see the shoutbox, could type in the text area, but it wouldn't post in the view area.

To fix that, the member has to go to their IE8 browser toolbar >  Tools > Compatibility View Settings and add your wesite address to it.

If you notice while browsing your source files, a lot of hard coding has to be done for IE6 & 7 and FireFox in order to view pages correctly.  I'm sure this is a major PITA for the authors.  So, with IE8, the Compatibility View Setting saves them that grief... at least for this Internet "Exploder" version.

Go to the main Forum folder in your directory. Edit the index.php file as follows:

Code Select Expand

// Here's the monstrous $_REQUEST['action'] array - $_REQUEST['action'] => array($file, $function).
$actionArray = array(

You're going to add arrays for the forum message board areas and any additional pages, mods, or add-ons where you want the shoutbox to appear:

Add after:
(Example:)

Code Select Expand

'gallery' => array('Gallery.php', 'GalleryMain'),

Here's a cheatsheet of some of them you may want:

boardindex
messageindex
display (shows on the topic view pages... when you're reading the posts)
memberlist
collapsecategory
gallerymain
groups
showhelp
messagemain
dozenpages
post
post2
ClassifiedsMain

WARNING!  I don't know what happened with this one:  'adminmain' but, when I added it, it really, really screwed things up!  It erased everything in the shoutbox input fields.  So, as always, back-up first!

  Here's a quick and easy way to add the ShoutBox to your message boards if you are using the Ad Management mod:

If you have the Ad Management mod and you just want the shoutbox to appear on your message board related indexes (it will not show on any other pages other than these), select:  "Add Ad", name the ad "shoutbox" or whatever you want to call it; in the "Type" drop down option, select "PHP" and enter this code:

Code Select Expand

// Hack's Park Shoutbox -->
if (function_exists('template_shoutbox')) template_shoutbox('main');
// <-- Hack's Park Shoutbox

IMPORTANT:  In order for this to work, you will also have to remove this code from your index.php file

You can select where you want the shoutbox to appear using the "Display ads on..." options.
You'll want to select:  board index, message index, post page.  This will place the shoutbox right on top of these forum areas.  You can also choose to put it in a left or right tower ad.

If you are using a portal system, this will also place it neatly between the side blocks on your forum message boards, topic indexes and post pages instead of on top of them.  It's neater in appearance and reduces the amount of scrolling needed to jump up and down to chat and read messages.  But, if you choose a left or right tower ad, it will place it next to the portal side blocks.  This doesn't look too good.

You can see how this looks HERE.

Thank you now it works with IE8!!!

Hi, In my website www.htcolombia.org/foro I cant see the shoutbox into Internet Explorer, several users cant see it.

How can I fix that problem?

[jollyrogue]

Actually forget my previous..

How do i stop it from automatically scrolling down to the shoutbox? (mine is placed above the info center) when the main page loads it scrolls down and the text cursor is blinking.

oh and disable/mute the sound by default. unless a member enables it?

also.. [url][/url] those tags don't work in the shoutbox for me. especially for [url=][/url]
