Is there a way to turn the soutbox in to a chat room? i.e. have it auto-refresh new messages every second or so?

Thanks in advance.

[simon36]

And also have a setting to limit the number of messages?

Yup, when you create a new shoutbox or edit an existing one, you'll see a setting named something like "Auto refresh". Set that to the number you want and it does what you want.

And also have a setting to limit the number of messages?

Yeah, same page: "Maximum shouts"

[simon36]

Sorry, please ignore the above, have found the settings now.

[Robert.]

Glad to hear it's working now

[simon36]

it's a great feature, could I turn off auto complete for the line where we enter the messages?

Thanks.

[Angelina Belle]

I think auto-complete is a feature of your browser.

[simon36]

It is but it is possible to turn it off with html autocomplete="off"

Could you tell me where I would edit the code to do that.

Many thanks.

[simon36]

Is there away to only show the shoutbox on one individual thread? I suspect it is through the custom display option but I could not figure it out.

Thanks in advance.

[simon36]

The blocks on the side don't line up with the top of the forum, they are always too high, screen cap attached.

ok, I've edited the html and turned off the autocomplete.

[Angelina Belle]

@simon36 -- good one!  I just read and found out that this is standard in HTML5. That's new to me!

The block title bars don't line up with the title on your forum because there is stuff before the forum title bar.
There is also one <br /> emitted in the block template right before the "central area" of the page, where the forum is located.
Are you interested in this one <br />?

[simon36]

Hi Angelina, sorry I'm not quite sure what you mean. Should I add another br statement to the html to line it up? It's only the left and right block that are not quite level with the top.

Thanks for your help.

[Angelina Belle]

Adding a <br> statement will not line up the title bars.
They are at different heights because of the text ABOVE the title bar in the forum listing.

You can see exactly the same kind of thing at
http://simpleportal.net/index.php?board=11.0

[simon36]

I see, is there a way of making it line up?

[Angelina Belle]

It would take some jiggering.  I assume you'd want to do that in Portal.template.php, or else in portal.css.
I don't think you could count on it always lining up perfectly in every browser, at every size, because the problem is, in the board index, you've got some text before the title bar, but in the left-side block, you do not.

[simon36]

What is the blank bar at the top of that link that makes the blocks line up? Could you tell me how to do that instead of altering the code.

Thanks.
