DO NOT INSTALL 1.15

Do not install 1.15 people, the interface is horrible. I uninstalled it and tried to install an older version, they didn't work. I installed 1.15 again and that one didn't work anymore either.

The 1.15 uninstallation changes something permanent, something that shouldn't have changed.

Don't install Southbox buggy edition ( = 1.15 ).

Because I updated the mod, I can now never use the mod again:

Can someone help me uninstall this manually??? Please help me. I've already got 4 PM's about this...

[[unplugged]]

open index.template.php and remove everything between

// YSHOUT HERE
      and   
// YSHOUT END

it will be in there three times

then open Modifications.english.php and remove everything between

// ---- Begin modification - nneonneo's Shoutbox ----
      and
// ---- End modification - nneonneo's Shoutbox ----

then open Modifications.english-utf8.php and remove everything between

// ---- Begin modification - nneonneo's Shoutbox ----
      and
// ---- End modification - nneonneo's Shoutbox ----

then all that's left is deleting the yshout folder from your board directory. That's it. No more shoutbox.

Now that was pretty painless, huh?

Thanks Sunking.

Currently working on my own shoutbox based on a very old chatscript I found on my computer. Also AJAX. The downside is that it's less advanced then this one, the positieve thing is that it requires only 16% of the space required by nneonneo's mod and it's about 1000x faster. You can have 15 people talking at the same time and it will still load as fast as an MSN conversation, in fact, it loads faster.

Another positive thing is that it works on every single SMF version ever released.

Gonna release it next month, still need to work on stuff like url's, smileys, etc...

@dence66: It all has to do with CSS. First, copy yshout-style.css from Themes/default/yshout-style.css to Themes/<themename>/yshout-style.css to fix all the spacing and width issues, then tweak that file to your liking.

on behalf of dence66 as co-admin Thanks!!! it works great

[nneonneo]

@ALEJO, Jelle Mees: Looks like a problem with my package-info.xml file, which I thought I'd fixed. The style file isn't being copied, as it should be. I will try to fix this and post an amended package ASAP.

@toohow: Try Wordpad; Notepad isn't good at opening big files. I'd suggest either saving and compressing the old history if it's useful, or deleting it outright if it's not useful.

@jpveneracion: Add "" to the list instead of "[img" and see if that fixes it.

@dence66: It all has to do with CSS. First, copy yshout-style.css from Themes/default/yshout-style.css to Themes/<themename>/yshout-style.css to fix all the spacing and width issues, then tweak that file to your liking.

@Patriiick: Thanks very much! I will include it on the first page of this thread.

@NIBOGO: Except for the last part (about adding "echo' </table>', shoutbox(), '</div></table>';"), do the instructions for index.template.php; the last bit, you add to boardindex.template.php (n.b. you *may* need to add the shoutbox function to BoardIndex.template.php depending on what order the files get loaded). Of course, SunKing knows his code best, so if I'm mistaken, please let me know

Thanks but i see of my problem is this:

"Oh, and I almost forgot (again), mine didn't seem to work right until I added the variable to my database. I just went in and manually INSERTed the info (1, 1, collapse_shoutbox, 1) into smf_themes. I have no idea how to write a script for that but I am sure the gurus in here can. My coding knowledge is hopelessly small."

I dont know how i can do it

THanks

Again, I have no idea how to make a script to do this automatically.

But to clarify what I did manually, in (1, 1, collapse_shoutbox, 1) the first entry is the member ID, the second is the theme ID, the third is the variable name (that is used in the above example) and the last is whether it is collapsed (1) or expanded (0). Hope that helps sort this out better so that maybe someone can just right a script to do this.    (I can't even spell SQL.)

hehe, it was, but if you encounter as much bugs as I do every day, it gets to you after a while.

I can't figure out why yshout-style.css isn't being copied to the right place -- it used to work, and I haven't changed a thing

[[unplugged]]

Attached is a modified   index.template.php   for the Mystic Jade theme by DzinerStudio (in SMF2.0 B3.1).

It is modified from a clean install of that theme, but otherwise ready to use.

It places the collapsible shoutbox just underneath the main menu buttons [HOME][ADMIN].... provided your shoutbox is installed into the default location of {boarddir}/yshout. The only other thing to be done is adjusting the line height of each shout. But the location+collapsible part is set up for you.

can u tell us how to fix it manually?

[captain_jack]

I hope this is the right place to ask this as you can see by my post count im really new to this
I have followed pongsak smiley guide and have accomplished  (page 45 i believe)all except the following:

<div style="padding: 1ex 25px 1ex 25px;"id="yshout"', empty($options['collapse_header']) ? '>' : ' style="display: none;">',$txt['yshout_loading'],'<br /><br /></div>

I cant seem to find where that is so i can add the next info
all other steps are done
If anyone can direct me to where this would be it would be greatly appreciated

[[unplugged]]

search for the text   $txt['yshout_loading']   

that string should be in your     index.template.php

[nneonneo]

ALEJO: Copy yshout-style.css to Themes/default.

[captain_jack]

WOW! Sunking
I had read all the 114 pages thruout the day and you have just made that info more than worth it   thank you!!

[captain_jack]
