SMF Shoutbox

[Nesty]

Hello,

Is it possible to display the member group colors from the users, if the doing a shout?

Br, Nesty

Good question nesty, I know the one in the Tiny Portal does it that way but I would like to see that feature with this one too, not just changing the font color of the posts.

Hopw someone comes in here and tells us.

Hi,
Thanks for a great mod. I installed it without problem. However, it doesn't display Thai font in the message correctly. It does display my username which is in Thai font correctly but fails to display the message correctly. I tried to change the font in the options but it didn't help. Does anyone have a clue about how to solve this problem? Thanks for your time.

As already said currently the shoutbox has problems with non latin characters.

I see. I think it's strange that it can display my name correctly but can't display the message even though they are both Thai characters.

So there is no way out but to use another shout box, I guess. I tried  nneonneo's Shoutbox demo and it displays Thai characters alright. Too bad it doesn't have the emoticons.

I don't know why that happens because I don't program it.

This will sound like a wierd question, so bear with me here.

But is it possible to modify this so that the users may post into the chat anoynmously? Still have to be a registered member, but if they wish to, could click a checkmark box that says 'anonymous' so that nobody knows who posted it. And in the Admin CP perhaps the admin can see through that.

I want to offer my users the chatbox to voice their opinions on things, and not get yelled at for them. Easier when nobody knows who said it.

thanks

Why not just tell them that they can say what they feel like without getting into trouble but that flaming or harrasment of the poster will result in immediate warning then banning if it doesn't stop.

Well I would do that, but it doesn't work that way. Too many users have grudges against each other in personal and online. And since the forum is on debated issues, along with stuff like video gaming, it'd work better this way. Really I wnat it to be a way someone can just voice off their stress from a hard day at work, without his boss finding out... since lots of users, also work for another user... lol.

@Spike

That does make it a bit of a sticky wicket doesn't it...I see your problem and yes I agree with you there. Hopefully someone will come up with a solution for your shoutbox

@tonzi

If you are using Tiny Portal then it should come with one already that is pretty good if you ask me...we love ours.

Just a quick question since I can't dig through 57 pages on here searching for a simple answer.

The shoutbox installed fine for me, and works etc. Is there an admin panel for the shoutbox though? I don't see it in my SMF Admin.

Thanks in advance.

admin/configuration/features and options

it should be listed in that section...just look for shoutbox or whatever you renamed it to.

[Joker Grafix]

Ah thank you. I just found it and was coming back to modify my post. Thanks for the reply! Now to figure out these other mods I want to do to it I was reading on the other thread.

btw, which thread are we using?

im using mkportal.  their forum is kinda slow as well as their support. it takes day sometimes they dont even answer it.

[DarkAngel612]

ah yes, I remember that portal. It is a very good one but really needs to be translated from italian to english better. Yes he doesn't answer half the time andsometimes they get mad at the members trying to find answers...not very good to my way of thinking.

have you tried the phpbb one with your portal?

[tonzi]

lol im confused with the two threads. yah exactly there are incidents that they even get mad @ their members lol. nope coz i believed that smf is way better than phbb. i just wanted to put this shoutbox @ my main page which is mkportal. ^^ if that's  possible.

[SouLFury]

The was some ppl saying that the shouts dont work with IEXPLORER...

I have the same error.... with firefox is ok

With explorer, people cant shout, the messange doesnt appear

Can anyone help me?

[mojodeli]
