SMF Shoutbox

[Kettu]

delete all shouts? You can use the X in front of the posts. And if you have lots of lines allowed, you should go to the administration before and reduce the lines to 5 i.e., than it is easier 

To carola. This is no typical problem. I think it is a database problem. Sounds like it doesn't write correctly into the database. Also you could check the database field what field type there is in. Shouldn't be "INT" or similar for numbers.

Hi Carola,
I am sorry, but I don't know. Database is my biggest problem. It is still a mystery for me. So maybe one of the other users can help with this.  It should be one who knows the specifications of SMF.

hello...

still not installed this mod (I will do so in a few minutes) but I've alredy notice an (small) thing : when I do browse mod form the admin panel, I click on install... it only D/L the german language

(I don't know if i'm understandable)
It's not bloquing.... but it could be improved and easyer


[EDIT] i've got a pb installing :
Appliquer la modification     ./Themes/default/BoardIndex.template.php     Échec du test (failed test)

[2nd Edit] got a lot of erros while installing :

Hello,

Yesterday my forum changed servers. However, the domain is still the same. After the change, the time was six hours late. I've already put 6 in Overall time offset in Features and Options and it fixed the time in the forum. However, it is still wrong in the shoubox

How can I fix it?

Thanks

[Kettu]

@Piwaille
Please download the mod from Simple Machines Forum and upload it through the package manager.

@tL0z
The shoutbox gets the time from the server. So if the server time is still another one, it still shows it. It doesn't matter what kind of + or - hours a user has or forums standard is.

[tL0z]

How can I change the time of the server?

[Kettu]

How can I change the time of the server?

Normally you can't. Because you don't own the server

[Piwaille]

@Piwaille
Please download the mod from Simple Machines Forum and upload it through the package manager.

already done... that's why I manage to install and I had the others problems (I did solve them also ... I just signal them for improving the script)

Now that the script is running on my site I've got some suggestions :

* some <![CDATA[ and // ]]> code prevent the good run of CSS. I had to remove all in sboxDB.php and it function well. I also removed every <!-- and //-->

* instead of having an iframe you could put a div with a javascript clock feeding it (ajax way). It would cut down the load on the server and be nicer on client (no flicking)

* you should replace every path hard coded (E.G. "Sources/sboxDB.php") with a nicer one so that the script could be called from everywhere (not only ..../forum/sources/XXX.php) using $boardurl or $sourcedir...

* it would be much nicer (for our users) to have every smiley that is uploaded in SMF. For doing so, it could be much usefull to use the functions of SMF... why not using function such like "parse_bbc" ? (could be nice to use BBCode also)

* it could be nice to en-light when s/o talk to you : when X write Y's name in it's message, when Y display the message if it have Y then (blink ? invert colors ? ...)

When I have some time, I will try to improve some parts
If you did not manage to understand some parts (my English is quite poor), just contact me

R U on a VPS?  If not you will need to submit a support ticket and ask if they can do it.  Chances are they wont thought.

This mod ruined my forum. I have no idea what it did to it. As soon as I installed it, I refreshed my page and this error is coming up.

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare sbox() (previously declared in /home/parallel/public_html/forum/Sources/Subs.php:3330) in /home/parallel/public_html/forum/Sources/Subs.php on line 3337

This is my subs.php file.

[Kettu]

How did you install shoutbox? With package manager or manual?
Check your subs.php for the added code if there is an error:

Code Select Expand

<search for>
log_error('Copyright removed!!');
}
}
</search for>

<add after>

function sbox()
{
global $sourcedir;

include_once("$sourcedir/sbox.php");
sbox_display();
}

</add after>

[blackoutpt]

great mod

but there's one thing i can't solve. my language is set to portuguese. so, when i type characters like "ç or á, etc.." i get this "缯div>". i think it's a enconding issue but i have no idea wich file to save with the right encoding for me that is "ISO-8859-1"
can someone give me a clue?

[blackoutpt]

this solved my charset issue

Attention please

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After you have installed the shoutbox please modify the file sboxDB.php.

Please search for

Código:
// handle spacial characters $content=addslashes($content);
and replace this with


Código:
// handle special characters $content=addslashes($content); // enquote html and script code to avoid html/javascript injection $content = htmlentities($content, ENT_QUOTES);

[blackoutpt]

not 100% solved 
the characters in the day of the week field aren't right
please help me

[otochan]

Got it to work but how do I make it parse BBcode?

[otochan]

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" ??

Definetely need

Edit:
I modified sboxDB.php to display parse BBC: hxxp:www.megaupload.com/?d=G55CMQXD [nonactive]

Could you please post it again pretty please? Or upload it to another host? my school has banned megaupload and rapidshare so I can't download that file

[Col]

Otochan,

I make no guarantees about the code, but this is what was at the link to megaupload.
