Aarg aarrrg!


8: Undefined index: is_sbmod
File: /home/skywise/public_html/forum/yshout/yshout.php
Line: 113

What seems to have gone wrong ? its in the error log.

[nneonneo]

@lucky_jan: Actually, now it is easy: just use "chmod" to change the file permissions on chats/ and all files in chats/ to 755 or 777 or 666.

@F.L.A.M.E.R: is_sbmod should be set on line 89 or thereabouts. Does that show up when you use history?

[lucky_jan]

sir what is ( "chmod"  )   
how i can chnage permission please tel me prosigure plzz

[Adish - (F.L.A.M.E.R)]

nope, doesnt show up when its in history. I acutally dunno the source as i just came in and saw in the error log. Sorry for being less informative.. but thats how it is though....

[nneonneo]

@lucky_jan: There's a how-to here: http://www.stadtaus.com/en/tutorials/chmod-ftp-file-permissions.php

@F.L.A.M.E.R: Does it appear very often, or just once?

[tommys67]

@tommys67: For a permanent scrollbar, you can try "overflow-y: scroll;" instead of "overflow: auto;".

Oh, Snap!  That put a scroll bar in place as advertised, but it's...empty.  Can't seem to scroll the history from the shout box itself.

I also need to find the "History" code to get that wider.

After that - it's absolutely perfect.

Thank you very much!

[nneonneo]

Oh! You wanted to see more history? Increase $maxLines in yshout/settings.php.

No need to slap the forehead, sir...  You're the programmer - we are just amatuers (well, I am at least!)

I think I've got it.  I'll check back if I have other questions.

My users LOVE this.

Thank you!

well, i saw like 10 of them. Thats mostly within 12 hours of time.

NEW PROBLEM!!!

Getting connection problems after I installed shoutbox

Error: Sorry, SMF was unable to connect to the database. This may be caused by the server being busy. Please try again later.

Been happening a few times in like 25mins. like 2 or 3 times.. its weird.

Hello, I have the same problem. I have installed the chat in my forum:

Connection Problems
Sorry, SMF was unable to connect to the database. This may be caused by the server being busy. Please try again later.

also happens in the chat demo,    After leaving several messages error:

Just wanted to say thanks nneonneo!  Your help was quick and solved my problems asap!  Keep up the great work!

[madman71]

nneonneo,

Im running your shoutbox ver 1.14b and i've been running for quite some time.  I recently upgraded from a shared host to a VPS server.  Since then there is only a history log that ends on Nov. 24.  The shout box can not seem to keep chat logs older than 24 hours.  For example, once we hit midnight tonight, all of today's chats will not show up in the history log. All we see are in the history logs are pre Nov. 24.  Im presuming that something went bad during this  server migration.  Could this be a permission thing do you think?

Since im having issues with installing any new packages I think it might be a permission thing.

Any suggestions on what to look for?


You can see what i mean with the missing dates in this screen shot:

@zlolz: My webhosting is not very powerful, so they have set the connection limit quite low. That's why it sometimes won't work -- if too many simultaneous refreshes happen, it dies. This is not usually a problem on paid hosting

@madman71: chmod chats/history.home.txt to 755, 777, 666 or 644 (your host should say what is appropriate, and which one works is up to the setup of your host). The problem (I am assuming) is that the history file isn't writable.

This is a how-to for making the shoutbox notify on new topics or posts (with thanks to Gaugenstien for the idea and natefish for suggesting improvements).

For shoutbox versions 1.21 or lower, make this change:
In yshout/yshout.php, find

Code Select Expand

session_write_close(); // so that future session requests succeed
$heartBeatSent=false;
if(!$forceRefresh)
{
while((time() - $start_time < $updateTimeout) && ($time==filemtime($chatPath)))
{
usleep($updatePeriod*1000);
// heartbeat - check connection to ensure client is still connected
echo ' ';
flush();
ob_flush();
$heartBeatSent=true;
clearstatcache();
}
}
@session_start(); // restart session, so updates to $_SESSION are applied
and replace by

Code Select Expand

$heartBeatSent=false;
if(!$forceRefresh)
{
session_write_close(); // so that future session requests succeed
while((time() - $start_time < $updateTimeout) && ($time==filemtime($chatPath)))
{
usleep($updatePeriod*1000);
// heartbeat - check connection to ensure client is still connected
echo ' ';
flush();
ob_flush();
$heartBeatSent=true;
clearstatcache();
}
@session_start(); // restart session, so updates to $_SESSION are applied
}

Edit Post.php.
For SMF 1.1.x, find

Code Select Expand

if ($newTopic)
notifyMembersBoard();
elseif (empty($_REQUEST['msg']))
sendNotifications($topic, 'reply');
and change it to

Code Select Expand

if ($newTopic) {
notifyMembersBoard();
// YSHOUT TOPIC NOTIFICATION
$res = db_query("
SELECT
b.name
FROM ({$db_prefix}boards AS b)
WHERE b.ID_BOARD = $board", __FILE__, __LINE__);
$row = mysql_fetch_assoc($res);
if($row) $boardName = $row['name'];
ob_start();
global $context,$scripturl,$topic;
include_once('yshout/yshout.php');
makeShout('New Topic in board [url='.$scripturl.'?board='.$board.']'.html_entity_decode($boardName).'[/url]: [url='.$scripturl . '?topic=' . $topic . '.new#new'.']'.html_entity_decode($_POST['subject']).'[/url]');
ob_end_clean();
// YSHOUT TOPIC NOTIFICATION END
}
elseif (empty($_REQUEST['msg'])) {
sendNotifications($topic, 'reply');
// YSHOUT REPLY NOTIFICATION
ob_start();
global $context,$scripturl;
include_once('yshout/yshout.php');
makeShout('New reply: [url='.$scripturl . '?topic=' . $topic . '.new;topicseen#new'.']'.html_entity_decode($_POST['subject']).'[/url]');
ob_end_clean();
// YSHOUT REPLY NOTIFICATION END
}

For SMF 2.0, change

Code Select Expand

if ($newTopic)
{
$notifyData = array(
'body' => $_POST['message'],
'subject' => $_POST['subject'],
'name' => $user_info['name'],
'poster' => $user_info['id'],
'msg' => $msgOptions['id'],
'board' => $board,
'topic' => $topic,
);
notifyMembersBoard($notifyData);
}
elseif (empty($_REQUEST['msg']))
{
// Only send it to everyone if the topic is approved, otherwise just to the topic starter if they want it.
if ($topic_info['approved'])
sendNotifications($topic, 'reply');
else
sendNotifications($topic, 'reply', array(), $topic_info['id_member_started']);
}

Hey Neo,

As you know I had some issues getting this to work so i reverted to using v1.21.

I recently tried to upgrade to v1.22 and it works fine now. Question is how do i now impliment the above feature as the code  in the first block differs from that in the 1.22 yshout.php file.

Also if I leave the yshout.php file as it is but change the Post.php file it returns an error - any suggestions?

Thanks Neo,
