SMF Shoutbox

DarkAngel612 · November 23, 2007, 10:48:17 PM

ouch, I know migraines and sometimes coding tends todo that to peeps.

when you get a chance go to the server files and compare files with the default theme and the theme you have installed---all of them.

if you downloaded the zip file holding the shoutbox then you will also need to open it up to have the files on your computer to upload to your server into the places that you found them in the default theme folder.

Once you make sure all the themes have the same sbox files in the proper places then you can reboot the browser and go to your site to check and see if the place ha shown up in the admin panel.

Another thing...if you installed it thru the packages part of admin and had gotten ANY red checkmarks or fiels that were flagged as not quite right then it may not have installed everything properly so you may need to delete the installation (remove it from the packages folder also on the server) then reinstall the shoutbox again. YUK I know.

In order for the shoutbox to show in ANY other theme than the SMF default one you need to follow the instructions in the zipped file or the download page and enter the code manually into the files for the themes you want it to be in.

I think you need to enter this code into the boardindex.template.php file of each theme you want it to appear in:

// display shoutbox
if (function_exists('sbox')) sbox();

Some themes do not have that file so you may need to insert it into the index.template.php file instead.

allright, i want to add whatever need, but didnt find in pack anythink where write what to write and where ...

Tnx. for advice

DarkAngel612 · November 28, 2007, 09:30:46 PM

I looked it up and this is what it says to do

Code Select

To make the shoutbox work with other themes, you have to do the following:

Add the code

  // display shoutbox
  if (function_exists('sbox')) sbox();


at the position you want the shoutbox to appear. (Mostly you will put this into BoardIndex.template.php.)

with that you should be able to see t in the themes...remember some do not have this file ao you need to put it into the index.template.php file

i found a bug:
if your nickname is contained in the URL of smileys, the URL will be broken by the nickname highlighter.

i solved this by moving the parse_bbc() [and all the IF block outside] after the nickname highlighter.

Tried searching, got no results.

Hi, I'm using this mod on my forum and while my first few messages worked fine, now it omits the first 8 characters from every shout from every user. I can't figure out why.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

robbie93 · December 04, 2007, 05:35:10 PM

robbie93 · December 05, 2007, 08:20:21 AM

does anybody know anything about my problem? i still have x's in my shoutbox? this is the right section.

Bust_Ed · December 06, 2007, 05:27:31 AM

So, it won't work in UTF-8?

olandir · December 07, 2007, 11:46:51 PM

It appears that when I am on any other page of my forum the javascript that controls the shoutbox keeps refreshing.

So say I go to my board index where the shoutbox is, and then maybe I view my profile... the page continues to refresh every 20 seconds like it's trying to refresh the shoutbox... of course the shoutbox isn't there so I get the "parent.document.sbox.ts is null or not an object' when it refreshes

any reason why it would still try to reload the shoutbox on other pages in the forum?
