SMF Shoutbox

[kok3n]

@kok3n:

try putting that code in the index.template.php file and place it just above:

// Show a random news item?


I think this will put it just above the news fader.

are you talking about the index.template.php of the current theme that i'm using? coz i can't find the code in there..

I am talking about the theme you are using if not using the default smf theme.

You will not find the coding in any other theme isntalled...the package installers only edit the smf default theme.....you have to manually edit any other theme.

hi DarkAngel612..

im using  Fg:.:Zm for my theme and and attached is a copy of my index.template.php

please advise on where i should add the code..

thanks in advance!!

[DarkAngel612]

find:

// Show a random news item?

then place the code directly above that line

[kok3n]

find:

// Show a random news item?

then place the code directly above that line

strangely, that code is not in there..

[DarkAngel612]

shoot...I know some themes did not have the boardindex file but I did not know that line was not in the index file...sorry.

let's try here:

FIND:
echo '
      </div>';insert the code here
      if (!empty($settings['enable_news']))


hopefully that will show it above the news fader.

Nick AutoComplete MOD for Shoutbox

Let's say that there is user Davorin on your forum.

If you write in Shoutbox

Code Select Expand

dav: hey there!

this mod will find "Davorin" in user database and change your text to this:

Code Select Expand

[b]@Davorin:[/b] hey there!

MOD:

In sboxDB.php find

Code Select Expand

$content = $_REQUEST['sboxText'];

and replace with

Code Select Expand

$content = AutoNickInsertMOD($_REQUEST['sboxText']);


Then find

Code Select Expand

?>

and before add this:

Code Select Expand

function AutoNickInsertMOD($poruka)
{
@include("../Settings.php");

$prvi_razmak=strpos($poruka," ");
$prva_dvotocka=strpos($poruka,":");
$znak_ispred_razmaka=substr($poruka, $prvi_razmak-1,1);

if($znak_ispred_razmaka==":" && ($prva_dvotocka < $prvi_razmak))
{
// uzimam prednji dio
$sufix=substr($poruka,0,$prvi_razmak);

// trazmi u bazi nick slican tome
@MYSQL_CONNECT($db_server, $db_user, $db_passwd);
@mysql_select_db($db_name);
$sql_upit =  ("SELECT * FROM smf_members WHERE memberName LIKE '" . substr($sufix,0,strlen($sufix)-1) . "%'");

$rezultat = MYSQL_QUERY($sql_upit);
$rec_broj = mysql_numrows($rezultat);

if($rec_broj>0)
{
$slican_nick=mysql_result($rezultat, 0,"memberName");

// zamijenjujem
return "[b]@" . $slican_nick . "[/b]:" . substr($poruka,$prvi_razmak);
}
else
{
return $poruka;
}
}
else
{
return $poruka;
}
}

My font is way too small on my shoutbox, how do I make the shout text larger? I'm using the Enterprise TP theme. Also, how do you change the time it takes to autorefresh?

[sueco]

  if (function_exists('sbox')) sbox();
In the themes files? and where there? I just installed sms websystem.

I am running black22 theme. I can put the code into the BoardIndex.php but the text color is dark blue on a dark grey background. I would love to change the font color to white. Where do you change the font color?  Sorry for the stupid question.

[DarkAngel612]

In admin section --- features and options, this is where your settings are found. At the bottom of the list there of things you can change is a section to adjust things for dark background themes. Make sure you have your themes name in there and then set the colors accordingly.

Thank you I saw that, I just don't see where I can change the text color within the shout box. Thanks anyway.

[DarkAngel612]

in that same place...where it says font color at the bottom...you type in the hex color code to change the color of the font, we have ours set at #ffcc33 which is a goldish color.

[beegator]

Thanks DarkAngel, that option does not appear anywhere on my screen under any options or tab.  Then again i'm using internet explorer. 

[DarkAngel612]

first....try the default theme and see if the option pictured is shown there sometimes things are not in the added themes...you might also check the folder containing the default theme on your server to make sure that any and all files that have to do with the sbox are also in the dark theme in the same locations as the default theme.

confused yet, I do confusion really well....sory.

[beegator]

That's ok, I do village idiot really well.  I loaded the default theme and that option to change the font is not there. I have the current version SMF via web install but maybe not all the templates are current. I'll try and figure this out tomorrow. Migrane headache is setting in.
