SMFPacks.com Shoutbox

Hi,
I just installed Shoutbox and noticed that when I use special characters like: ę ł ą I get this: ł ż ń
SMF 2.1.4.
How to check if Shoutbox is UTF-8?
Thank you
Mike

It looks like my friend fixed it. Maybe someone will need information on how to do this...

In the file Shoutbox.php in a method that adds messages - Shoutbox_SendMsg, we commented on the line:

$msg = $smcFunc['htmlspecialchars']($msg, ENT_QUOTES);

Why? htmlspecialchars do not work correctly with utf8 characters and htmlentites explained here:

$smcFunc['htmlspecialchars'] isn't the same as htmlspecialchars and will specifically handle UTF8 if you tell it to. The problem is that parameter isn't specified there, so it defaults to ISO-8859-1.

Try this:

Code Select Expand

$msg = $smcFunc['htmlspecialchars']($msg, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8');

Hi I have tried to install the chat on my 2.14 default curve 2 theme forum and when I install it my Likes system doesn't work.  What do I need to do to get my Likes working with the chat installed?

Just posting this in the event someone else runs into this issue:
Just updated my site from 2.0.19 to 2.1.4. I just installed this chat/shoutbox and was instantly receiving this error in the error logs every time my page refreshed: something something "Subs-Shoutbox.php (Line 93)" was mentioning

// we need this be faster...
==>93:
if (!empty($_SESSION['shoutbox_lastget']) && $_SESSION['shoutbox_lastget'] > $shoutbox['banUpadte'])
94:    
return false;
If line should be replaced with:

Code Select Expand

if (!empty($_SESSION['shoutbox_lastget']) && !empty($shoutbox['banUpadte']) && $_SESSION['shoutbox_lastget'] > $shoutbox['banUpadte'])

I'm running into the same issue.  Any solution for this?

Read through the posts on this page. I think you'll see your answer there.

I did. I didn't see any replies that actually addressed the issue. Which post are you referring to?

If you're referring to the error log, fixing line 93 in the file did resolve that, but does not fix the issue with likes.

So I tried installing this on my test site and I get the white screen of death. Admin area is still functioning but the main page is a no go.

Simple Machines 2.1.4
PHP 8.2.27
Mods installed: Tiny Portal, message bookmarks, Forum width setting, Snow and Garland (not active currently).


Checked the server error log per @Kindred post above and this is the output.

Anyone got any ideas what may be the issue? Would like to get a shoutbox going that has sound notification hence my reason from trying to get this working as opposed to using the shoutbox in Tiny Portal.

I have a similar problem, it shows me:

Warning: strtolower() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in /xxxxx/Sources/Subs-Shoutbox.php on line 33

I have the latest version of SMF 2.1.4 , and I only have one mod installed 'HideContent_2.3.2'.
Looks like 'SMFPacks.com Shoutbox' it needs a new update for v. 2.1.4.
