For SMF2, you should put it in Themes/default/css instead.

@nneonneo
Look at this:
version of SB 1.15
1 shot: hxxp:g4g.pl/forum/ [nonactive]  ->


2 shot:  hxxp:g4g.pl/forum/index.php?action=help [nonactive]


On second shot i have no shoutbox on the page. 
Where is my css styles in main menu of the forum on main page ?

In IE -> no problems describe above. !
Of course i have yshout-style.css in Themes/default
Any idea ?
Aha.. no JS errors.
This error only in SMF v 1.1.5

I would love to put this on my site.... but I need some help adding it to the Blue Vista theme and the Shiny Blue theme.

The edit I'm having trouble with (SMF 2) is:

Code Select Expand


// YSHOUT HERE
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


Thanks in advance for any help.

@captain_jack: please be patient. It's been what, one hour since you posted? Now, the problem is: you need to add the name parameter to *all* instances of <input id="shout-text" ... (not "forum-name", as you have it).

@wiciu: You have search-engine URLs or something else installed. Paths for the shoutbox are relative to the forum root, but URLs like http://g4g.pl/forum/help/ can cause problems. If you can, try to keep the URLs like http://g4g.pl/forum/index.php?action=help.

@lax.slash: Where do you want the shoutbox to go? That's where you need to put it

General notice: 1.15 package updated to fix the missing style bug.

ShoutBox still disappear in Firefox and Internet Explorer.

Reduce $updateTimeout. It needs to be less than the script timeout on your server.

[captain_jack]

many appologies nneonneo
update  still have error but will keep reading  and many thanx

[denio]

I reduce $updateTimeout to "10" and sb still disappear.

[edit]
I irritate and I reduce $updateTimeout to "0" and sb still disappear but sb less dissappear.

[nneonneo]

@denio: That's slightly odd. What browser? If it does that on IE or Firefox, then I think there's something weird going on (a visit to your forum may be useful).

@captain_jack: Post or PM yshout/yshout.php.

[denio]

Well...

Shoutbox disappear in Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.14 (newest) and in IE7 sb none visable, I can see "shoutbox loading" (in my language)

Board powered on SMF 1.1.5. I have install nneonneo sb v1.15.

Hey All,

I've been using nneonneo's SB for a while now, and my forum users and I are enjoying it thoroughly (thanks nneonneo).  However, an issue has developed since upgrading SMF from 1.14 to 1.15.  It seems now when you change the language of the forum from English to XXXXX, the SB no longer displays.

Basically, it shows the "...loading shoutbox..." msg and then it disappears and nothing remains.  I did some testing by copying the yshout.php to a test file and making a few modifications do that it would display the SB.  In the test file, i can replicate the issue.  When the forum is in "English" language mode, the test file displays the shoutbox.  When in "XXXX" language mode, it displays nothing.

I placed some echo statements in my test file and noticed the page displays some crazy characters ().  After doing some more testing, it seems that the issue might stem from the /SSI.php file (perhaps around the "loadtheme()" function call on line 145.

Again, this only happened after upgrading from SMF from 1.14 to 1.15 and perhaps after I upgraded nneonneo SB to 1.14b (not sure if the problem existed after that upgrade or not).  It should also be noted that all of my Modifications.XXXX-utf8.php language files have the nneonneo SB language code added.

Anyone else having any trouble getting this to work w/ non-English languages on SMF 1.15?

@denio: What is $updateTimeout currently set at? It looks like it's set at 0 or something.

@captain_jack: You weren't supposed to add name="shout_text" to *every* form field...only the "middle" field in each form. Also, you should not have changed their "id" parameters.

@mwmconsulting: Those crazy characters () are the UTF-8-encoded representation of the Unicode byte order marker (BOM). They should not be in the output. Saving files with Windows Notepad commonly causes those characters to be added to the beginning of the file (they are invisible in Notepad, and are only visible in a text editor that either doesn't understand them, or a hex editor).
I've checked my files and I can't find the BOM characters (though it's possible that it's in another file I didn't check, or an older version). If you manually edited any of the files with Notepad, it's likely that that's the source of the problem.
Try turning off gzipCompression. My guess is that these characters are output before the gzip stream, causing the stream to become corrupted -- this results in a blank shoutbox, since the browser can't decode the compressed data.

[mwmconsulting]

Nneonneo, you're amazing my friend.  Not only a SUPER FAST reply, but also the correct one.  Turning off gzipcompression did the trick. 

Thanks so much for your help, and the awesome mod.  Where is your paypal donation link mate?  I'm happy to support the cause.

Cheers!

@denio: There's a huge amount of ads on yshout.php. I don't know if that has anything to do with it, but it may cause problems. For example, see http://cinqg.freens.pl/yshout/yshout.php; the HTML source is very long.

Perhaps try turning off $gzipCompression, if you haven't already.

[captain_jack]

middle field   wow   no im really confused hehe


(you need to add the name parameter to *all* instances of <input id="shout-text" ... (not "forum-name)?

[nneonneo]

captain_jack, I've done the modifications for you and attached the file.
