Great mod!

Mbirth, could you add option to change a time & date format? (or anyone can tell how to do it, especially with date[day of week]?)

edit:

my forum is using iso-8859-2 charset (for polish language), everything works fine untill users trying to use special characters, instead of them I'm getting some ugly chars. Is there any solution? Those ugly chars are only in shoutbox, everything else is working very well.

If i set my forum char coding to 8859-1 and shout something in my language, then its displaying in right format with all proper characters. Very weird.

edit v2.0:

this helped

"ok, open up sboxdb.php in your forum directory, under "sources". Open up that file, go to line 181.. and look for this "      $result .= htmlentities($s, ENT_NOQUOTES, $context['character_set']);
    } else {"

remove it save and upload the file to server.

Move the code

Code Select Expand

  // display shoutbox
  if (function_exists('sbox')) sbox();
at your Boardindex.Template.php to the position you want i.e. before

Code Select Expand

// Here's where the "Info Center" starts...

There is no answer for mbirths version, because 1.15 was made for RC3 and 1.15b is made for 1.1.2. There was no version for 1.1.1. So why don't you update to the newer version?

Hmm,

Is there a way to display the shoutbox on all pages instead of just the index?

[gwalior]

i have this message in the shoutbox:
Connection Problems
Sorry, SMF was unable to connect to the database. This may be caused by the server being busy. Please try again later.
i am using smf 1.1.2 and smf shoutbox 1.15b.
if someone knows the solution, help me

I have the same problem, same versions.
Is it a problem due to my host free.fr  ?

might be worth putting it in the header somewhere... I will look into this today for you

Moving the shoutbox to the top so it shows on every page.

right i looked into this and it was easy enough to do
This is for the default theme on version 1.1.2.

first is to open the Boardindex.template.php and find this:

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


this needs to be removed as it is the entry for the shoutbox on the Board index.

Then open the Index.template.php and find this


   echo '
               </form>
            </td>
         </tr>
      </table>
   </div>';


   // Show the menu here, according to the menu sub template.
   template_menu();


change it to read like this:

   echo '
               </form>
            </td>
         </tr>
      </table>';

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

   echo'
   </div>';


   // Show the menu here, according to the menu sub template.
   template_menu();


below is a picture on our test board of where the shout box is.
The theme is modified with other info in the top too.

and if i click contine it somes again, but if i click "stop script" it posts, whats the problem??! plzz help

This only occurs if you set the "Enter text here..." to an empty string. This is fixed with the new 1.16. As a workaround (if you don't want to update the mod), set the text to a single space in options.

You will find it in the file sbox.english.php in your languages-directory on your server. Find the line:

Code Select Expand

$txt['sbox_TypeShout'] = '';

And add a space between the quotes.

Delete the directory /forum/sbox.history.html.lock on your server. If it happens again, there might be a misconfiguration of your server.

[gwalior]

I delete the folder but I have still the error
What could be the problem with my serveur ?

The error message disappears when the shoutbox refresh, about 15 sec or when I click refresh

I have another difference betwen the screen in first page :

[26 avril 2007 à 15:47:02]
[] []  <-- I Have this strange line
[X][Jeu 15:34] <Gwalior> ....

And smileys doesn't work (on 1.16)

Thanks !
