nneonneo's Shoutbox

[_Anthony_]

I've tried installing this on 2.0rc1... both on an updated forum and a forum installed clean. The shout box works for administrators but not for other users.

has anyone else come across this?

You have to change the permissions. You do this just like you would modify membergroup permissions.

hey guys, i read about 30 pages back since the search function hasn't given me anything relevant.

i have the latest version installed (simple, not advanced). it installs perfectly. the shoutbox shows up, everything looks good.

but the moment i try to post a shout, nothing happens. it's as if the post button is dead. everyone on my forums experiences the same thing.

the permissions are set. relevant files are chmodded to 755. am i missing something?

@dystemper

it's as if the post button is dead.

That's like the problem I had. Are you sure that you have set the user permissions for all the relevant groups that will need to shout? It's worth checking again.

yessir, i even set it so guests can view and post in the shoutbox. i tried it in firefox, ie, and chrome, and still no go. i'm thinking there's a conflict somewhere.

also, changed to the default theme, and the post button still doesn't work.

i'll be clear: i get absolutely ZERO errors on the install. the shoutbox looks normal, nobody can post unfortunately.
the link to my forums if anyone wants to take a look: hxxp:ls.vexed.ca/index.php [nonactive]

edit: i just did a manual install, by hand... same issue. everything looks good until i go to post. permissions are definitely functioning correctly because the shoutbox gets locked when somebody does not have permission to post (but has permission to view).

any known conflicts with other plugins?


******************FIXED*************************

after going through code line by line, manually installing and uninstalling the simple and advanced versions of the plugins, i decided to unload all plugins on my board to find out if there's a conflict.

i found the conflicting plugin: jQLightbox (http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=1605)

in case you have the same issue as me -- permissions all set, installation seems error-free, and a functional looking shoutbox, but when you go to post, nothing happens -- make sure jQLightbox (version 0.3) is not installed.

I have problem with separators. I have changed display mode to reverse and I have somethink like this on picture. What I need to change to have separators like in normal mode?

[nneonneo]

@biohrd: add something like
#yshout hr {
   display: none;
}
to the CSS block.

[Stef001]

@Normally: What happens if you try to shout?

Nothing happens.
In Forum1 all works.
In Forum2 i see all, but when i want to shout, can type, send, and than nothing happens.

Thanks for all the help.
Stef.

@biohrd: add something like
#yshout hr {
   display: none;
}
to the CSS block.

I don't want totally disappear this bar. I only want order like in normal mode.

how do you change it to where anyone can use the chat box and is there an SSI for this chat box to use it outside of the forums?

see permissions in admin panel. each member group has permissions, whether to only see shoutbox. see and post, see post and moderate. set this for every group at your will and enjoy.

This shoutbox is made for forum purposes only. You can only set it in special forum page, for example, and for that you can use Custom Actions mod.

SMF 1.1.8
SB 1.22

SB 'times out' after a certain amount of time; can't tell exactly what it is, but it's in few minutes, and will not refresh. Using the "instant-on" shoutbox code in a theme from Bloc called Azure.
Did the manual install option. I tried using the original 1.16 behavior code, but the SB never loads
when I do. Users have to refresh the entire forum to see changes in SB.

I have the $updateTimeout set at 0, and refreshTime set at 250ms.

Thanks.

how can i get the smiley bar to work using tp and a php box any help be appreciated thxs

This is guide for dummies on how to make shoutbox normally display as the part of the forum:

Start with installation normally, but do not add second code.

Second code is this, and should be included in BoardIndex.template of the theme!!!

Put this:

     

Code Select Expand

// YSHOUT HERE - shoutbox code

         echo '
     <table border="0" width="100%" class="tborder" cellspacing="' , ($context['browser']['is_ie'] || $context['browser']['is_opera6']) ? '1' : '0' , '" cellpadding="4" style="margin-bottom: 2ex;">
         <tr>
             <td class="catbg" style="padding: 5px; vertical-align: middle; text-align: left; ">', $txt['yshout_shoutbox'],'&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp</td>
         </tr>
         <tr>
             <td valign="middle" align="left">
             <div id="yshout">Loading...</div>';
   
just before this:

Code Select Expand

    // Show the news fader?  (assuming there are things to show...)

And if you want border around your shoutbox, all you need to do is to go into style.css
and find .tborder see whats written under that - usually it's
border: 1px solid #000; <- where #000 is black color, and copy-paste to index.template.php
where  #yshout  is, and you're ready to go.

p.s. This however might not work in some themes, which have different way of positioning shoutbox, but in most of themes that will work, and you'll finally have shoutbox styled as the rest of your forum. 

YAY for my 300.th post

Anyone?

@Normally: Do you mind if I just take a look? I'll need the forum address.

@biohrd: OK, it's a slight bug in the current version.

In yshout.php, change

Code Select Expand

$chatText=preg_replace_callback("/<timeval=(\d+)>/","preg_timeformat",$chatText);
return $chatText;
}
to

Code Select Expand

$chatText=preg_replace_callback("/<timeval=(\d+)>/","preg_timeformat",$chatText);
return trim($chatText);
}

@SkyLineR34: Another possible solution for SSI is suggested by the yshout/index.php file.

@ccvortex: How long does it take before updates cease? It's possible that a failed update can cause the shoutbox to stop working. You can try this fix:

In moo.ajax.js, change

Code Select Expand

if (this.transport.readyState == 4 && this.transport.status == 200) {
to

Code Select Expand

if (this.transport.readyState == 4) {// && this.transport.status == 200) {
Let me know if this fix works.

@JackWise: Can you clarify? What do you mean by an initial message?

@UkGangsta: Try this code (complete set):

Code Select Expand


      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><div class="smalltext" style="padding-left:25px;"><a href="javascript:collapse1.slidedown()">Open Smiley</a> | <a href="javascript:collapse1.slideup()">Close</a>';
                     require('mymod/smiley.php');
                     loadSmileys();
                  echo '
                     <div id="smiley_pic">';
                        printSmileys('shout_form','shout_text');
                  echo '
                     </div>
                     <script type="text/javascript">
                     //Syntax: var uniquevar=new animatedcollapse("DIV_id", animatetime_milisec, enablepersist(true/fase), [initialstate] )
                     var collapse1=new animatedcollapse("smiley_pic", 1000, false)
                     </script>
                  </div>';
in the TP block; you also have to add the script link

Code Select Expand

<script src="',$boardurl,'/mymod/animatedcollapse.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
somewhere in the <head> of index.template.php.

@ameo: Nice guide. I was wondering if the tags <table> <tr> etc. should be closed or not?

@live.mk: It's possible, but it will not be too accurate since users can sign on and off at any time.

I think the idea is like this: you add an entry to _banlist.php (using this file because it is a dynamic data file) which stores the users online and the last time they did anything. Then, whenever yshout.php is called, you can append or update the user's timestamp, and when the refresh happens, you can tack on this information (removing users who last updated more than X minutes ago and are considered inactive).

Sorry I can't give you any specific code right now; if you know PHP I hope this is enough to make it work.
