nneonneo's Shoutbox

[dannbass]

Yep, it works! and I speak on behalf of everybody, THANKS A LOT for all the great support!!
You're the man!

[nneonneo]

[announce] 1.14b released. This release fixes a bug with non-ASCII characters, reported by dannbass.

The package contains upgraders for 1.13 and 1.14, so if you are using those versions, you can simply upload the package and apply it.

[nneonneo]

You should be able to just upload the package and install/update it as usual.

EDIT: OK, I used the wrong term there. Fixed.

Thanks again

[scsmilin]

ok i thought that I only had to do that for the one in the yshout folder.... thank you I will go try again!!!

[Adolfo]

nneonneo, one last thing: is there a way to avoid people to load multiple instances of your shoutbox because of tabbed browsing?

[nneonneo]

@Adolfo: Set checkDuplicates to true in yshout/js/yshout.js. It is also recommended that you update the date after yshout.js (to anything you want; it doesn't have to be a date) in index.template.php to prevent caching (which would cause the change to not take effect)

I updated the date to Apr172008 but users can still open multiple istance of the shoutbox if they use tabbed browsing.
Maybe because I'm using a TP central block?

[nneonneo]

In two spots in yshout/js/yshout.js, change

Code Select Expand

3/*seconds*/
to

Code Select Expand

20/*seconds*/

That should fix it (it's working for me).

Yeah, it's working with IE (not with Firefox, but that is not a problem)

Thanks again

Is it possible to make it so that you can make a usergroup that are capable of modding the shoutbox, but nothing else. Basically a shoutbox moderator but they wouldn't be able to Moderate the forums or anything else like that?

[nneonneo]

Set moderatorGroups in yshout/yshout.php.

[mathmission]

Have a strange problem to report. Was using this mod with the DoD theme, and it was working just fine. Then all of a sudden, it just sort of stopped working. I can enter text just fine, but when I hit enter to send it, nothing happens, as well as when you click the "submit" button. Mod works on other installed themes as well as default. And like I said, it worked earlier, just sort of stopped working. I've not installed or made any changes since it was working. Ideas?

[nneonneo]

Just...stopped working? Does the shoutbox still show?

[mathmission]

Yeah, shows just fine. And like I said, it works in all the other themes. But for some reason, it just stopped responding. I mean, you can see when someone else, using a different theme, posts a message, but it doesn't do much in the way of posting messages in DoD theme now. I've tried removing the code from that theme, and putting it somewhere else, just doesn't work...



*Edit* - Installed the original index.template.php, then applied the mod code again, and that seems to have fixed the problem, whatever it might have been. What I don't understand was that I hadn't changed anything since its installation...

[nneonneo]

Was it just a problem for you? If so, it could've been browser caching. Occasionally, one of the support files gets somehow corrupted (this has happened to me a few times), and your browser saves the bad copy, which then causes the shoutbox to not work. In that case, if you force-refresh the page (Shift-Refresh on Firefox, not sure about other browsers), then it causes the files to be reloaded, usually resolving the problem.

[pongsak]

How can it show only  the messages for last 24 hrs?

[nneonneo]

In the history, or the shoutbox?

That's a pretty tricky question, I think. The easiest way to do it would be to modify the preg_replace which uses preg_timeformat (so that instead of just matching the timestamp, it matches the whole shout), then let preg_timeformat delete the whole shout (return nothing) if it is too old.

[scsmilin]

Ok i thought this was the forum itself but I was advised to come here and repost...sorry about that.......

From time to time my shout box suddenly fills with things like....

and that's just part of it as it will just as suddenly return to normal. The thing is, none of this actually points to the shoutbox--- just forum and forum 'sources' ....any idea what's wrong here? I'm using the 1.1.4 version- no beta.

[nneonneo]

I think all the errors are caused by the first few -- the ones relating to mysql_query. It looks like SMF can't connect to the database, and since the shoutbox isn't set up to catch such errors, they simply fall through to output.

It's possible that the shoutbox is exceeding the maximum connection limit, the "flood" limit, or some other limit on your database, or that the database server/process is busy doing other things. Whatever the cause, it's certainly related to the database in some way.

My shoutbox doesn't directly use the database, but SSI.php loads a lot of SMF files, which in turn use the database to load settings, etc.
