nneonneo's Shoutbox

[gjoe]

Hmm, I see...... www. or  http. .... Ok I understand this, hmmm.

You change the CHMOD on your server , i think.....

On server I can only change CHMOD for entire SB_1.10.tgz folder, but I cant enter in folder and change CHMOD only for yshout.php file

Hi,
just installed this ShoutBox and i can see it's just good.

But i would like to load the shoutbox only on index.php.

In other words, during the forum navigation, i would like the ShoutBox disabled (and hiddend), and enabled only when the user click on "Home" button.

How can i do?

Thank you

[nneonneo]

@Andrijachi: The tgz should have been unpacked into yshout/ folder. If it is still as a tgz, then you should install it first, then chmod yshout/yshout.php.

@gjoe: It is probably a "www." vs. no www thing. The affected line is

Code Select Expand

var board_url = "', $boardurl, '";
Change this either to

Code Select Expand

var board_url = "'; $boardurlparsed = parse_url($boardurl); echo $boardurlparsed['path'], '";
or

Code Select Expand

var board_url = "/path/to/forum";
I recommend the first replacement because it is more general, but if it doesn't work let me know.

@tlen: Find

Code Select Expand

echo '
<br /><b>Shout Box</b><br /><br /> (it may occur twice)
and add before it

Code Select Expand

if (smf_main()=='BoardIndex')

After this, the shoutbox should not appear on board or topic pages.

*EDIT: Fixed the parse_url thing, I posted the wrong code.

[tlen]

It works in displaying only on "Home", but many errors appears in many pages, like texts dont appear, or admin box with dimension of 2 pix.

Something like that



That empty box should contain Uninstall, Delete.....

[nneonneo]

Apparently, SMF will  not allow smf_main() to be executed twice.

Try this instead:

Code Select Expand

if(empty($_REQUEST['action']) && empty($context['current_board']) && empty($context['current_topic']))

This should be safer.

[tlen]

It works just great.

Thank you very much

[tlen]

Another thing.

I see the normal behaviour is to put the shouts one under another.

Like this

1
2
3

Where do i edit to do inverse behaviour, in order to put the shouts one over the others?

Like this

3
2
1

Thanks

If you want to reverse the message display... say newest on top instead of bottom, in your yshout folder, open up your yshout.php file:
Find

Code Select Expand

$chatText=preg_replace_callback("/\[<timeval=(\d+)>\]/","preg_timeformat",$chatText);


Right after that, add this:

Code Select Expand

$chatText=implode("\n", (array_reverse(explode ( "\n", $chatText ))));

how do we make this shoutbox work in a center tinyportal block?  I am having the same issue your test site has which is an empty box is displayed when the TP instructions are followed.

[nneonneo]

Well, you need to remove the existing instance from the theme (the one installed by default) or it will show a blank spot where the TP shoutbox should load, since the shoutbox can only load once on a page.

Also, if it refuses to load, let me know the board URL and I will check it out (most likely it is a domain mismatch; I've just found a way around, posted on the main mod page).

[NEMINI]

http://nemini.org

for now I am trying to make it work the non-TP way, if I get that working then I will change the location.  Figure trying to fix one issue at a time is easier.

I did try changing to

Code Select Expand

var board_url = "/home/neminiin/public_html";

but that made no difference.

trying:

Code Select Expand

var board_url = "', parse_url($boardurl)['path'], '";
gave me a parse error

tried:

Code Select Expand

var board_url = "', parse_url($boardurl ['path']), '";
but that didn't resolve anything either.

note: am only testing it on default theme for now, am not editing dilbermc until it works on default first (less inconvenience to my users since no one uses default on my site).

[nneonneo]

NEMINI, there's two things which are amiss.

First, you should set board_url to "/" (so that the line appears as

var board_url = "/";

)

Next, check your server error log. http://nemini.org/yshout/yshout.php throws a 500 Server Error, so the main script is failing to run somehow. It may be permissions (chmod 755 or 777 will fix that), server configuration or a bug/syntax error in my script.

When these are resolved, the shoutbox will work.

Sorry i had read only up to page 30.

Thanks!

[nneonneo]

Nah, it's alright. I remember most of what gets posted here, so I know what to search for

[tlen]

Here again.

After doing the edit, the reverse works but the time is gone.

This



How do i do?

[nneonneo]

You've got to place the line specified after the timeval replace (not before).

If that doesn't help, attach or PM yshout.php and I will look into it.

[tlen]

My fault. It works just good

did both of those.  Still says loading ...

[nneonneo]

OK, I finally figured it out. You should set board_url to "", and it should resolve the issue (I have tested it and it will work). Hope that helps.
