Grudge's Shoutbox difficulties in Mambo bridge

[NayNay]

I have sucessfully installed and placed (in a left side bar) Grudge's Ultimate Shoutbox on my site. 

The problem I am having is that I am not able to shout (delete, view archive, etc) inside my mambo bridge:

http://www.markcollier.net/mco/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=71

Yet I am able to do all of the editing outside of the bridge:

Does anyone know what I need to do to get this to work inside my birdge?  Any help would be appreciated.

if needed.

mods like this will require a change to smf.php. You have to add the action to the list.

That being said....  WHY?

Mambo has a couple of shoutbox modules/components...   and they can be used throughout the Mambo site rather than within SMF.

Use the right tool for the job. If you have something which is site-wide and doesn't require SMF features, I suggest you use a mambo module or component.

If you have something which ties directly in to SMF (like the calendar, posts, post-to-news, etc) or something which doesn't exist in Mambo (like the map/location mod from Globalopper) THEN you should use an SMF mod...

Honestly, I like the way it works and most importantly how it looks, yet if it igoing to be a big fuss for me to edit I'll look into ShoutIT or one of the other shoutboxes in mambo.

Thanks for the reply.

it won't be a really big issue...   but in theory, the grudge-mod shoutbox will only show when the SMF forum component is currently loaded on the user's screen. (in other words, if they are browsing your files or documents or blogs, etc...  they won't see the shoutbox.

As for adding it, if you want to, it's relatively simple...
Open smf.php in the mambo/components/com_smf directory


<search for>
      'collapse' => array('Subs-Boards.php', 'CollapseCategory'),
</search for>

<add after>
      'delete_all_shouts' => array('shout.php', 'delete_all_shouts'),
      'delete_shout_age' => array('shout.php', 'delete_shout_age'),
      'delete_shout' => array('shout.php', 'delete_shout'),
</add after>

<search for>
      'setreserve2' => array('ManageMembers.php', 'SetReserve2'),
</search for>

<add after>
      'shout' => array('shout.php', 'Shout'),
      'shout_archive' => array('shout.php', 'Shout_Archive'),
</add after>


<edit>   Hmmm... I just realized that Grudge included an SSI function for the shoutbox...   so, you can use it in the mambo-side by creating a module and adding the ssi call....

Thanks!  I really only want it on the forum page, that is why I basically wanted to go with the Ultimate Shoutbox (among other things).

Have you installed the shoutbox in the package manager?

[Yngwiedis]

Yes. I install it from the package manager.

[Orstio]

And you have the bridge installed?

Do you have a URL, so I can see what is happening?

[Yngwiedis]

I had "connect" Mambo and SMF with Mambo-SMF Integration version 1.3.1.3
The URL where you can see the shoutbox not working is :  http://yngwiedis.hellasdog.com

[Orstio]

I do not think any modules or bots made for the bridge are going to work with MamboHacks integration.

[Yngwiedis]

So you suggest to install the Mambo bridge and forget the Mambo-SMF Integration ?

[Yngwiedis]

OK i install Mambo bridge and i can post shouts now, but i have another problem.
I click on the X to delete a shout and is redirecting me to my forum boardindex.
So i make one small test page with that code :

Code Select Expand

<?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 again.
I try several times but every time its the same.
I upload the page to my forum's root too.
Same problem...

Is there anyone he can help me with that ?

[Yngwiedis]

Another problem...

The Shoutbox on the Mambo frontpage is not scrolling
I am waiting for your help guys...
