nneonneo's Shoutbox

[mraspy]

It appears as the shoutbox is installed correctly, however after the first text entry is made, the input field, usersname field and 'shout' button disappear. I am thinking a carriage return should be inserted in the code somewhere so these items are below the output messages and I haven't a clue where or otherwise put it. If in fact that is the answer. I'm not a developer. Please help.

I have 2 questions, which may have been covered... but the thread is 290 pages long.

1) Is there a way to increase the refresh rate?  I look through the code and there are plenty of instances of the word refresh, but none that has a value to it that I can edit.

2) I installed it with the TANGO skin, and it now only shows the SB on hte index, and not when viewing a thread.  Is that by design, or something that can fix that?

I believe the adjustments you are looking for can be done in: / yshout / settings.php

It is displayed on the forum index page by default.
You can have it show up wherever you wish by manually putting the initialize code in the appropriate location.

The easiest way to get the sb to show anywhere you want is to put the initialize code in a portal block which would give you control as to where it is displayed.

Hi, When will this be released for 2.0 RC2?

Thanks

Hi, When will this be released for 2.0 RC2?

Thanks

nneonneo shoutbox adv v1.22 already works with smf2 rc2

There is a list of manual edits in case it will not install correctly (install and use edits to fix any errors shown).

To view the edits - bring up the modification download screen, choose your SMF version and click on parse.

[MH-MINI]

CLICK HERE to view the edits.

Haha? Dead link?

CLICK HERE to view the edits.

Haha? Dead link?

Ya... The parse drop down menu uses POST (I think) and didn't provide a link. You will have to navigate to the download page for the mod, choose your SMF version on the drop down menu and click on parse.

I installed this on my smf 2.0 rc2 test forum without any troubles.

[MH-MINI]

So I install the mod first, ignore the errors and then follow the instructions?

Thanks

Yes.

Just jot down which file(s) it showed errors that it tried to edit.
Navigate to that file and use the parse edits as a reference where needed.

hmmm...

try like this: find this

Code Select Expand

$shown_linktree = true;

and after that, and before bracket place the code.

In the end it will look like this:

Code Select Expand

   $shown_linktree = true;


   // YSHOUT HERE - shoutbox code
      echo '
                     <br /><b>',$txt['yshout_shoutbox'],'</b><br /><br />
                     <div id="yshout">',$txt['yshout_loading'],'<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div>';
      // YSHOUT END - shoutbox code
}


This "solution" for to see the chat in SMF 2.0 RC2 ... create distortions in the them. Thouse are:







Had to change some of the proposed code? Any other solution?

Ya... The parse drop down menu uses POST (I think) and didn't provide a link. You will have to navigate to the download page for the mod, choose your SMF version on the drop down menu and click on parse.

Actually... that's not entirely accurate. When you're on the parse page, check out the "Installation instructions for xxxxxx" - it's actually a link to the GET version of the page

For 2.0 RC2, last version of shoutbox, it's http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?action=parse;mod=585;attach=77561;smf_version=2.0_RC2

Thanks for the info.

The full url didn't show up in the browser on the parse page after using the drop down menu (that uses -  GET) so I just directed the user to the drop down menu itself. However, I now notice that the link is actually available at the top-left of the parse page in the page title.

      // YSHOUT END - shoutbox code
}


I tested this by placing an initialize code in the same place as shown above (index.template.php file of your theme) and it seems to be working just fine (using curve or core). Perhaps all the breaks are mis-aligning your theme somehow.

Try replacing the above code with this:

Code Select Expand


$shown_linktree = true;
   // YSHOUT HERE - shoutbox code
   global $txt,$context,$boarddir;
   if(allowedTo('yshout_view'))
   {
      echo '<br /><strong>',$txt['yshout_shoutbox'],'</strong><br /><br />';
      echo '<div id="yshout">';
      include_once($boarddir.'/yshout/yshout.php');
      echo '</div>';
   }
   elseif($context['user']['is_guest'])
      echo $txt['yshout_no_guests'];
   // YSHOUT END - shoutbox code
}


Another solution may be placing the initialize code in a different part of your index.template.php or perhaps putting the initialize code in your BoardIndex.template.php instead.

Is this the immediate result after installing the sb, or have you done any modifications to the code?

What is the part that you covered up with your image editor??

It appears as though another mod or possibly scripted ads from your site may be conflicting with the sb.

Give me a link to your site please.

If it isn't in that file then find and place the language code I listed above BEFORE this code in that file:

Code Select Expand

(located at the end of the file)

If it doesn't solve the issue then we try something else.

didnt work, still the same.

Im going to try to do a fresh install of SMF, because this forum has had MANY upgrades, and might have had enough

Hello!

I installed the simple version of nneonneo's Shoutbox on RC2.0. It looks a very nice mod - fast and very helpful!

Unfortunately I've a problem with it. When I try to click an admin link (del, ban), I've got a message "Session verification failed. Please try logging out and back in again, and then try again."
I'm logged in as admin of the forum. The text command for banning is working just fine. What can be done with this session verification?
Thanks in advance!
