Shoutbox!

[LancelowDowell]

To take out the date, find the shoutbox.php file that goes in the themes directory and find this code...

Code Select Expand


while($row = mysql_fetch_array($shouts))
{
echo '[', timeformat($row["shoutDate"]), '] ', $row['realName'], ': ', doUBBC($row["pageText"], true), '<br/>';
}


and change it to this...

Code Select Expand


while($row = mysql_fetch_array($shouts))
{
echo $row['realName'], ': ', doUBBC($row["pageText"], true), '<br/>';
}


This way it will show just the name and post.

Thanks a lot.

I removed it, why would you want to put that piece anyway?

just asking really.

So when are you gonna put a delete option.

Is it possible to get the messages to scroll after one has been posted???

If you want to add it to all pages, just add it in to the index.template file.  Just search for template_menu() in there and add the calls to the shoutbox like you would in the boardindex.template file.

[LancelowDowell]

Yea, I'll see about that.  Shouldn't be too hard.....

does this wotk with ssi like the other oen does?

[LancelowDowell]

No, I didn't modify ssi like Grudge did.  Instead, to get it to work you just need to do to display the shoutbox is to add this line wherever you want it...

if(!include($settings['theme_dir'] . '/shoutbox.php'))
      echo 'Could not load shoutbox!';

You still have to follow the rest of the instructions in the install.txt file, but that will take care of it.

I love this shoutbox! I'm using it on my site but it's for members only. Do I need to change anything for 1.0 RC2?

[LancelowDowell]

nope, shouldn't have to.  I'm running it on the 1.0 preview just fine.  Only thing to watch out for is you'll have to re-add the array entries in index.php after you upload rc2.
