Integrated Shout Out Box For SMF 1.1.13

[nubieteky]

Hi,

I have been scanning thru all the mods for a week, test, trail n error and could not get any chat box to work with my Forum =(

[Neo_TE]

I don't think anyone is interested in making a separate shoutbox.

Just install some portal (say simpleportal) and use only the shoutbox in global mode.

[nubieteky]

separate? wat do you mean?

i like a shout-out box on top of my SMF forum. users who log-in on Forum is automatically log in also on the chat

[nubieteky]

I have already tried simpleportal and the interface change my whole forum to a blogger style, this is not what i was looking for.

something like this...

Try SB_1.22.zip and modify its package-info.xml to replace all occurrences of 1.1.9 with 1.1.13

Or install Version Emulate Dropdown to let you pick the version number it should use instead.

[nubieteky]

thanks for the "version emulate" it installed however chatbox doesen't show on my index.

[Arantor]

You don't browse that, it embeds into the main forum...

[nubieteky]

yes but it does not show in my main forum

> i used emulator to indicate 1.1.9

> install the package > installation successful

> made the necessary configurations on .themes/mythemes/index.template.php.
   since im using my own theme

however.


Parse Find for 1.1.9
<input type="hidden" name="hash_passwrd" value="" />
                        </form>';
   }


Mine 1.1.13
<input type="hidden" name="hash_passwrd" value="" />
      </form>', $context['current_time'],'<br />';
   }

Just add the code it tells you to after that bit - the reason it doesn't work is because you didn't add that edit, which is what makes it appear in the forum.

[nubieteky]

Hi Sir 

there were two modifications on template.index.php I had add the necessary, this was not my first time to add a mod. 


   

[Arantor]

I understood from your post about the two different sets of code that you hadn't added the changes. If you have, it should be installed because that code loads the shoutbox *into* your theme (I used to use this shoutbox myself)

[nubieteky]

do i need to configure somthing in the admin panel?

[Arantor]

If you've made all the edits you need to (on every theme you use), the only 'configuration' in the admin panel is permissions but as admin you have all permissions anyway.

[nubieteky]

Hi sir now the shout out box is working however i can only access it when i go to :

mysite/forums/yshout/index.php

Here is a view of it on my main index board the link is not clickable either



thank you for you assistance how ever it would be much better if i could access this on main index 

[nubieteky]

what do you mean by this >>>>>   Move the included directory "yshout" to "the root directory".


my yshout folder is in the

www.mysite/forums/yshout
