as a cosmetic suggestion for your next english version...make the refresh button mouse over with "Refresh" instead of Neu laden.  I have already done it in the sbox.template.php

littleone

now for a question...I have members telling me the shout box is appearing as with "Central" time.  It is not defaulting it to their "profile" user selected time.  How can I do this?

Solved my problem my own ;)
the sboxDB.php file was corrupt indeed, I need manual add the text php after <? at the first line of the sboxDB.php file.

I hope I help some others with this information.

Many thanks for the writer of this mod!!!

Thats because it is for 1.1rc2 version m8.

Anyone got any ideas on getting local time to show????

@keith021773, @hawkie2006, @scoobyx:

The problem you experienced is new to me.
Please take a look at the sources directory (by default it is /smf/Sources) of your forum. Do you find the file sboxDB.php in this directory? If not, please extract this file out of the shoutbox archive and put it manually into this directory using ftp. But if the file is already in this directory,  please check it´s permission attributes. The file must be readable for anybody. Do you get the same error after having chmod it to 777?


No sboxDB.php for me in my sources folder so extracted as mentioned and chmod to 777.

getting the following internal error

Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, [email protected] and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache/1.3.34 Server at www.mysite.com Port 80

looks a vast improvement on the orignal mod, any help getting this working much appriciated.

cheers

Scoobyx

p.s one thing to add I have the orignal shoutbox mod installed on my site during installation, presuming this does'nt cause an issue..


A lot of these problems stem from the fact that a lot of servers no longer support 777 and see it as a security risk.

This is the error message one can expect:

[2006-04-03 21:01:33]: error: file is writable by others: (/home/dave60fx/public_html/smf/Sources/sboxDB.php)

I had the same problem... Chmod the sboxDB.php to 644 and it should work OK! (Did for me) :)

Jabberwocky

One feature I would like to see added is the ability to add bbcode-url's to the window. It parses html-url's to images / smilies etc...

But BB-Code [url's] etc would be a lot better and "Safer" ?? :)

keith021773

Believe it or not, but that simple thing fixed it and got it working for me.    Thanks man.    Sincerely appreciate it.

daveb47

Well that acounts for why some were getting this error & not others.
Can anyone fix user time problem please.
thanx

It's not actually a "simple thing" as it can be confusing to some who have never experienced the problem. A lot of servers are turning to MOD-Security, and it exempts a lot of stuff from being actioned on. It can become a pain when files have to be re-named and scripts re-written to accommodate it.

When people have problems of this nature, it is always wise to check the server "error log", as most times it shows what the problem is. One could also check the error log within the DIR using ftp... Because there will be lot more of these problems in the future. :D

PS: Files should NEVER be chmodded to 777 anyway, 666 would / should be the limit... only DIR's should go to 777 where it is absolutely required. Such as Photo-Album's that have public access etc. ;)

But not to say that that is a fixed rule anyway... :)

Cheers................ Glad  it's working for you!!

Off Topic: Now all you need to do is edit three files, add a total of 24 smilies, set the smilie span to 4, the Shout-Window to width=200, characters to 150 or 200.... Change "Neu Leaden" to "Refresh" and it's a great shoutbox! Lol!!  :)  ;D :D
