nneonneo's Shoutbox

[Forte]

The shoutbox mysteriously stopped working in the middle of the night, apparently. I changed themes, but it worked after that, so I don't really think it was that. I can't see the shoutbox anymore, it just sits there as an empty box, but other users say they try to post in it and get this error:

Warning: fopen(chats/home.txt) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/forte/public_html/forum/yshout/yshout.php on line 798
File error (writeLine); aborted

Anyone know what to do?

Is this onload handler, something wit javascript? I'm not sure but I remember sometime before I saw a little code which would mix 2 onload functions together ...

however, I will wait for your upgrade of this shout box. Actually a chat box that won't refresh has no use I guess.


edit :   

Found the code :

Code Select Expand

// Multiple onload function created by: Simon Willison
// http://simonwillison.net/2004/May/26/addLoadEvent/

function addLoadEvent(func) {
  var oldonload = window.onload;
  if (typeof window.onload != 'function') {
    window.onload = func;
  } else {
    window.onload = function() {
      if (oldonload) {
        oldonload();
      }
      func();
    }
  }
}

addLoadEvent(function()
{
Start1();
Start2();
}
);

just trying to help, hope you don' take it the wrong way that I'm showing code. for sure you know more than me.

@virtualxtc: It looks right. Have you checked to make sure there isn't another onload event?

Thats the only onload event.

This appears in the url when the page reloads but doesnt post...

I tried to shout "Testing The Shoutbox"

[tadi]

I have one problem with the characters permitted.

When someone writes in english the  characters  permitted in each shout is
$maxShoutChars=255;

But when someone writes in greek (the language of the forum) then the $maxShoutChars is about 55 characters. When you write more then the &#959 appears

Why is that?

How can I solve this?   

[nneonneo]

@Forte: chmod that file (chats/home.txt) to 755 or 777.

@virtualxtc: That just means that the "onSend();" handler isn't working. On beta 4, it might be because you are missing the beta 4 fix.

@tadi: The shoutbox counting is a bit weird for non-english languages, because of encodings. It is actually storing about 6 characters per message (up to 8 characters, for Chinese, etc.). So, you are recommended to increase the limit to around 6 times that.

[tadi]

Ok thanks...

and another question.

How can I activate custom smileys ? I have the smf 1.1.6

Or If it is possible when you click on the open smiley option the smileys to appear in an another page.

Thanks again

[Forte]

Thanks, that fixed the posting problem, but now, whenever a user posts, the shoutbox shrinks down to 0 lines, then posts the new message (along with displaying the other ones still up there), but it only shrinks for the user who posted the shout. I hope that makes sense. Is that something that needs to have its permissions changed as well, or something in one of the files?

[nneonneo]

@Forte: Try turning off $gzipCompression; it's possible a warning is making the shoutbox collapse.

@tadi: I *thought* the smileys mod did add the extra smileys under a popup form...

[Forte]

Yeah, there's warnings there. Three of them.

Warning: fopen(chats/history.home.txt) [function.open]: failed to open in stream: Permission Denied in /home/forte/public_html/forum/yshout/yshout.php on line 762.

Warning: fputs(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/forte/public_html/forum/yshout/yshout.php on line 763.

Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/forte/public_html/forum/yshout/yshout.php on line 764.

[nneonneo]

OK, do the same chmod to the chats/history.home.txt file.

[Forte]

Thanks. That did it.

[virtualxtc]

@virtualxtc: That just means that the "onSend();" handler isn't working. On beta 4, it might be because you are missing the beta 4 fix.

I have already made the change to yshout.js.
Was there another fix?

[leonardus]

@leonardus: Try clearing the language cache.

VERY VERY GOOD! thank you very much!

[tadi]

@tadi: I *thought* the smileys mod did add the extra smileys under a popup form...

Yes they are.

But here is the problem:
I have the shoutbox in the top of the page.
So when I add the smiley, I have to increase the width of the header area ( I use onyx theme).
But when the smiley are hidden I have a big gap between the forum and the shoutbox.

So is there a possibility to use custom smileys and not the ones that I have in the forum?

[mechwarrior]

Dont worry, found it in the settings.php file.

Hello,

I am quite new to installing this and a forum. I am running SMF 1.1.6 default forum atm, how can i change the default amount of shouts that appear in the shoutbox?

Currently the users can add loads, i want to limit it to say 10 lines of txt.

Many thanks

[asmith]

How can upgrade to adv shoutbox?

[StaticFX]

2 Questions:

1) How do I reverse the order, so new shouts are on top.
2) Is there supposed to be an admin section? I dont see it

[Nequil]

dammit... @nneonneo can you paste this code to my yshout.php?... please I can't do this...

Code Select Expand

global $ip;
if(!isMod() && preg_match($ip, file_get_contents($chatPath))>3)
{
   echo "Sorry, you've already posted 3 messages...";
   return;
}

thanks nneonneo, but doesn't work... look on this:

I would like to members without group send only 3 lines of messages in shoutbox (spam security) (understand?)

[StaticFX]

ok, found an issue

I have the Shoutbox in the simple portal.. i did it by adding a PHP block, then putting

shoutbox();

as the code... it works BUT, it seems like only admins can see it? how can i make it viewable by all but guests?

You have to set the permissions for your membergroups in SMF's admin (permissions) area
