SMF Shoutbox

[softtouch]

I have a problem with the shoutbox related to FF and IE
In FF, the shouts in the shoutbox are left aligned, as they should (I believe), but in IE, they are all centered, which is annoying and hard to read.
Where and how can I fix this?

How do I change the title? I want it to say "mysite shoutbox", not SMF shoutbox.

Hi Fotozone...

To change the name of your shoutbox is not hard to do at all ...

you need to go to your sbox.english.php file, I think it is in the theme folder

find: $txt['sbox_ModTitle'] = 'SMF Shoutbox';

Just highlight the name only and change it to whatever you want it to be.

Once you make your change-----on a duplicate in case it messes up----then upload the edited file to overwrite the one on your server....refresh your page and the name should be different on the screen.

Can anyone post how to install it step by step ?

After I send a message to shoutbox I see this:

Code Select Expand

Notice: Undefined variable: divclass in /www/usr/home/2/9/wb49292/www/-/a/Sources/sboxDB.php on line 206

Something is wrong with the code. At line 206 script is trying to use $divclass variable which wasn't previously set.

Version: last version from sbox_v1.16b.zip. Unmodified.

__( edit )______________________________
I can't also see odd/even color differences. All messages are the same color. On the screenshot it looks like there should lighter and darker font color.

Can someone please answer my question? How do I change the Title of the shoutbox?

Also I would like to know how to disable smilies, so that no graphics appear in the chat window.

Thanks.

Ok, thanks (I didn't know you were replying to my question).


Also, how do you disable smiles, so that only text smilies appear, not images?

i need moved the chat to the posistion on the forum,  footer..

open your theme's BoardIndex.template.php

find:

Code Select Expand

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

remove it.

if you want the chat under the Info Center.(area where stats are etc....)

find:

Code Select Expand

?>
replace:

Code Select Expand

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


hope that helps.

robbie93: It's on your FTP server. The same place where you store all your webpage files. You can access it by cPanel File Manager (one of icons) or by FTP client software.

FORUM_ROOT/Themes/THEME_NAME/languages/sbox.LANGUAGE.php

FORUM_ROOT - is a folder where are all main SMF files.
THEME_NAME - is a folder which has all Theme (Skin) files. You can have multiple themes on your forum installed so you have to enter each one and check for this file.
LANGUAGE - is a language translated file with all shoutbox texts. You can have multiple language files, for me this is: sbox.english.php and sbox.polish.php.

You have to open all language files in all themes and change variable $txt['sbox_ModTitle']="NEW_NAME_HERE" into whatever you want. NEW_NAME_HERE is your new shoutbox name of course.
