[dimdom]

I have just installed that excellent mod.

Two questions now:

Is there a way to totally disable autorefresh?

Where and how can I watch as an admin all the messages in the shoutbox?

Thank you...


And a bug ( ? )

In guests it will autorefresh every one second no matter the settings in admin panel...

If you would like to bigger popup window, you rewrite it in the index.template.php:

Code Select Expand

<a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=shoutbox" onclick="reqWin(this.href, 750, 360); HP_shoutBox_sh(!HP_shoutBox[\'hd_msgs\'], \'msgs\'); return false;">' . $txt['hs_sb_63'] . '</a>' : '') . '</span></td>

Width: 750 and height: 360

I'm late... sorry 

I want to change the minimum messge character length to 1 and seen the following post which i assumes means to edit the value in HP_shoutBox.js but i cant find this file in /public_html/myforum/theme/ or in any other files in my forum files

I have a question. I want to make the minimum message sent 1 character.
it will not go any less than 3 characters even though in the admin settings I changed it to 1.

Can you help please?

I must check it before get any answer, maybe you have found a bug 
Sorry

Edit

I found my error 

Please go to $themeurl/HP_shoutBox.js and delete all lines between 33 and 38

if (document.forms.shoutbox.msg.value.length <= 2) {

alert(HP_shoutBox["lng_empty"]);

return;

}

Or simply change the 2 with 1

if (document.forms.shoutbox.msg.value.length <= 1) {

You should edit an option in admin panel after this replace...
"Minimun characters per message (while sending message)"

$themeurl is not /public_html/myforum/theme/, it is /public_html/myforum/theme/{name} where {name} is the current Theme (could be "default")

Is it possible to have the shoutbox in a frame that is static, and does not refresh as one moves through the forum below the shoutbox?

If you dont want to refresh just add a  (really) big number for that option in the shoutbox admin.

Im afraid your answer will only slow the refresh rate, which is NOT what I want.
What I want, is to be able to changes forum pages, but have the shoutbox remain without reloading. Like frames. You understand?

mmm, I don't get it at all, but you want to go from one page to other in your forum (where shoutBox is) and not refresh the shoutBox, right?

if it is... that why Open on PopUp is there

Is there a way to increase the maximum amount of characters per message?
I have the shoutbox widened, but cant find how to increase length of each posted message.

I think it wont be posible... I thought long messages aren't used in a shoutBox or chat becouse of that, they are long... so I made all it (queries, tablas, conditionales, etc) to short messages... sry

To display in index with out an action, and display every where on forum

Found this Gem in the Code while trying to Mod it to work on my index

add this in the admin section  in this field "Sites where shoutBox will be printed (?action=)" ;all

Simple as that, no need for Iframes Tiny Portals

mmm, Yeah... ;all is for printing shoutBox in all pages

I installed the shoutbox, but I'm having a weird problem with it. When writing to the shoutbox the text that I write won't show, but only the nicks and the background.

Do you check the color of the font in the admin panel??

Yes of course, it's not about that, because the text just won't show in the box (f.e. when selecting there where the text should be, there's nothing). I tried it now on an other board, where we have no other mods even, and it doesn't work there either. We're using the 1.1.7. version.

Edit. And weirder it gets. I can see the messages when looking from my database, but the shoutbox won't show them in any view. It seems to read all the other information, but not the message part.

maybe you will need to contact me for support... could you send me users and pass to access your forum? by PM here or in Hack's Park, or mail 

.... I will continue later... sry

thanx makito... maybe i was being blind or my ftp was being an idiot but the .js files werent displaying in my forum files when i asked that question the other day lol

Here's an interesting thing a I found I installed the shout onto the default, then made a custom theme. Well I moved the js files as it said in the instructions, now when I go into my css style sheet the little color pic box shows up. If I remove the HPcolorpicker.js, then shoutbox will not work, but then the box doesn't show in my style sheet.

Pic included to show what I mean..

Any ideas on this?

In reference to my LAST POST about the utter lack of functionality after doing the edits to my theme suggested by the package parser linked in my signature, I just noticed something...maybe someone could tell me if this has anything to do with it.

I downloaded v1.2.2 from the mod page.  But the package parser says the package version is...wait for it...DUN DUN DUNNNNN 1.2.1!!!  Would this...1) indicate a problem with the package parser that could lead to my problem?  Or is this...2) info garnered from a file within the package itself with a number that just wasn't updated to reflect the newest version?

[JCS]

:S, forgot change the version on the package, thats because the diference between them is just a line :S, it will be fixed as soon as possible

Okay, that's cool.  At least I know the package parser didn't screw anything up.  Any thoughts though as to why it would work perfectly in default, but show up fine in Aa New Damage yet not function at all?

Just one quick question.

When the user goes back to the index, there is a slight delay before the messages in the SB show up.  Is there a way to fix this?

FYI: the sdemo account at http://www.hackspark.com/smf-test/index.php seems to have been deleted.

Hi,

If I wanted to add a modification to your code using Notepad...I save it, zip it, and I try to re-upload it.

I get the "This file maybe currupted..." etc

I've tried using a Mod Creator program that can open and save.XML file.. and still no luck.

What program did you use to create Shout.box?

Any suggestions?
