How can I make the shoutbox show all the time on every forum board/page/topic?

Pages where Shoutbox will be printed
-by default:

boardindex
collapsecategory
collapse

-I added:
forum

but that didn't help

Edit: OK, I found this one too, add:

messageindex
unreadtopics
display
memberlist
groups
showhelp
messagemain

One more lol..
How do you make the shoutbox expand by default for everyone at their first visit, for guest too?

See the release notes:

1.1 - 27 May 2017
* Much easier installation.
- Support for SMF 1.1.X
+ Support for PHP 7.X
* New sound method for better compatibility.
! Minor tidy up!
+ Added "everywhere" as a key string to show the shoutbox across the entire forum!

Just add: "everywhere"

Silly me.. thanks!
Now if you can also tell me how to expand it by default, especially for new visitors/guests, I'll buy you a beer!

That isn't included in the lite version of the mod, only in the pro version.

I am getting this error in the logs since I am on PHP7.1 and a user apparently uses long words that need ' fixing'

I'm just able to see the top header of the shoutbox where 'SHOUTBOX' is written and below i don't see anything else. Can you sort me the issue?

Cheers

[Nibogo]

You probably need to expand the shoutbox, it sounds like it's collapsed!

I also get this error, is there a known work around?

[Steve]

Searching the thread came up with the problem a few times and a fix that worked for me (keep in mind I'm not on PHP 7.1):

https://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=269091.msg3859374#msg3859374

You could try it after you backup that file.

Shoutbox.php has two instances of that code, should I replace both?

Line 310 and 641

[Steve]

I can't remember if I replaced both or not. As long as you have a copy of the original file tucked away you could try it.

[@rjen]

I just replaced both. Error solved.

[efk]

"Number of messages to keep in Shoutbox" is 100 - default and there is red warning bellow
"Do not modify if you don't know what you're doing"
So why is this warning? Something will happen if we increase the number to 250 or 500? Will that slow down forum?

[Nibogo]

Yes, that feature may hit the performance in your forum.

[efk]

Yes, that feature may hit the performance in your forum.

So any suggestion how much to increase and not to affect forum performances?

[Nibogo]

Don't increase it if you don't want to affect performance.

[napsterion]

I've just installed this plugin. I see shoutbox on my forum but i dont see any text what im write.
Not text in the box. What has happend?
Can you help me ?


I use 000webhost.
i tryied every php version from 5 to 7.1

[Nibogo]

It's most likely an issue with 000webhost, as far as I can remember that's a free hosting which should have plenty of restrictions.
