SMF Shoutbox

[Geezer]

Hi can the width of shoutbox be altered?

[SteelEagle]

I created sbox.polish.php and it fixed problems no 3 and 4, now let's see if i can make proper character coding

//edit: I have no good idea how to do it... help plz
//I.m using v1.15. Error with wrong coding appears only when forum language is set to Polish. When switching to English all is fine... Anyone any ideas?

//yes i've read whole topic but it didn't help me...

//@Geezer: probably yes. Alter tables width in sbox.template.php and see if it works

Hey!, i installed the SMF shoutbox perfectly today in the Helios Multi theme and it's everything ok, except because i want to edit the text in the top that sais: "SMF Shoutbox" I want to put another thing in there like "My Shoutbox", but directly from the settings...

EDIT: I'm so stupid... what i mean is that you should add that to the settings as an option... to change the name.
I already did that, but it was a suggestion lol.

[Kettu]

Sorry, but that's so easy to change. It would be a joke to make a special option for that.
Just change the text at the sbox.english.php from

Code Select Expand

$txt['sbox_ModTitle'] = 'SMF Shoutbox';
to

Code Select Expand

$txt['sbox_ModTitle'] = 'My Shoutbox';

[PSNick]

I know, i already did that before sugesting... but the thing is that you have to change that before uploading the shoutbox. And if you add the option, unexperienced members will be able to change it from the forum directly... besides that way will be even easier lol.
Thanks for your answer anyways ^^

[Kettu]

You can change it everytime later, too. Just download the file, edit it and upload it. It will change the text immediately

[tapirul]

I post here too,

I am in a big hurry so i didn't have time to read the thread for a possible answer.
There it goes:

a wonderful mod

the only thing that bothers me is the default text in the shouting area ("press ENTER" etc); that's because if I click on a emoticon (without any other text), that thing does not get replaced, the emoticon will be appended only, even if I selected the default text and deleted it before.


I tried to change the code in sbox.english.php

Code Select Expand

$txt['sbox_TypeShout'] = '*';

The thing is, whatever you put instead of the default text (there is a star now), that thing will NOT be posted in the shout,  if you happen to type it. I tried initially with a space, but then all shoutscameoutlikethiswithnospaces. I changed with a period but then i got shouts like this: http://wwwsimplemachinesorg/community/indexphp?action=post;topic=115579.15;num_replies=16
If you don't put anything, like

Code Select Expand

$txt['sbox_TypeShout'] = '';

then there are problems with the script.. I get a message from my browser (after a while): a script is busy, uatev, continue/cancel

I settled for a star now (I imagine there won't be any shouts containing stars).

Is there any way to get around this? I mean, if I take out that line in sbox.english.php, where else shoud I make modifications?
thanks a lot

[Kettu]

Replace

Code Select Expand

$txt['sbox_TypeShout'] = '<Type your message and press ENTER>';
with

Code Select Expand

$txt['sbox_TypeShout'] = ' ';
There should be a space between ' and ';

It works fine for me, because I have it at my shoutbox.

We don't speak greek. This is the English part. So please speak English. If you speak German use the German Thread.

ChMod isn't a part of the code. ChMod means file access rights. Click on your sbBox.php an check the given rights.

moysys has posted in the Greek support. mforum, has made a greek language file but Greek chars were not properly displayed. apollonios reported that works OK with UTF-8.
http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=123810.0

So there is a problem with foreign languages if a non UTF-8 codepage is used.
http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=115579.msg793648#msg793648

After a quick glance, I believe that the problem for non UTF-8 encoding is this part of code in sboxDB.php

Code Select Expand

function missinghtmlentities($text) {
  global $context;
  // entitify missing characters, ignore entities already there (Unicode / UTF8) (hopefully in {-notation)
  $split = preg_split('/(&#[\d]+;)/', $text, -1, PREG_SPLIT_DELIM_CAPTURE);
  $result = '';
  foreach ($split as $s) {
    if (substr($s, 0, 2) != '&#' || substr($s, -1, 1) != ';') {
      // filter out "ANSI_X3.4-1968" charset, which just means plain old ASCII ... replace by UTF-8
      if (strpos($context['character_set'], 'ANSI_') !== false) $charset = 'UTF-8'; else $charset = $context['character_set'];
      $result .= @htmlentities($s, ENT_NOQUOTES, $charset);
    } else {
      $result .= $s;
    }
  }
  return $result;
}


However some more points might need examining.

I see in the topic interest from another Greek and a Turkish about codepage conflict problem of SMF Shoutbox.

The above were posted in the new SMF Shoutbox support board. BTW which is the right board?

[Kettu]

Good morning,
this is the English Support Thread of deep AND mbirth's SMF Shoutbox. We also have a German Support Thread for it. There is another English Support Thread for the Ultimate Shoutbox of Grudge.

About the foreign characters. I think mbirth is still working on that problem. Currently we don't really know what this problem causes.

Hi,

I did some searching but didn't find an answer so I apologize if this is a repeat.  I am running SMF 1.1.RC3 with the template Slick Pro: Graphite.  When I go to "Apply Mod" I get this error.

9.  Execute Modification  /home/killerba/public_html/smf/Themes/default/BoardIndex.template.php

This is a forum being run a development site with CMS Joomla 1.011 using the Joomla Hacks bridge (not sure if this is important or not).

All of the other tests are listed as "successful."  Any idea of what I am doing wrong?  I tried install when using the default theme but it gives the same error.

Any help would be appreciated. 

Thanks.

Maybe the CHMod of your default/BoardIndex.template.php isn't correct.
Just add the code by hand.
Add

Code Select Expand

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

Code Select Expand

// Show the news fader?  (assuming there are things to show...)
if ($settings['show_newsfader'] && !empty($context['fader_news_lines']))
If you want to have it above your Newsfader

or before

Code Select Expand

// Here's where the "Info Center" starts...
If you'd like to have it above your Info Center.

[G0ldT00th]

Hhhmm.  No I thought that was the issue too and tried various spots but just tried the one you listed as well and got the same result.  Here is what the Boardindex.template.php looked like after the cut and pasted.

I also checked the CHMod and it is 666.

I am scratching my head now.

Code Select Expand

<?php
/// Version: 1.1 RC3; BoardIndex
function template_main()
{
global $context, $settings, $options, $txt, $scripturl, $modSettings;

// Show some statistics next to the link tree if SP1 info is off.
echo '
<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td valign="bottom"></td>
<td align="right">';
if (!$settings['show_sp1_info'])
echo '
', $txt[19], ': ', $context['common_stats']['total_members'], '  •  ', $txt[95], ': ', $context['common_stats']['total_posts'], '  •  ', $txt[64], ': ', $context['common_stats']['total_topics'], '
', ($settings['show_latest_member'] ? '<br />' . $txt[201] . ' <b>' . $context['common_stats']['latest_member']['link'] . '</b>' . $txt[581] : '');
echo '
</td>
</tr>
</table>';
  // display shoutbox
  if (function_exists('sbox')) sbox();
// Show the news fader?  (assuming there are things to show...)

[Kettu]

Well, BoardIndex.template.php is correct. Is it not shown now?
I know it works for Slick Pro, because a friend didn't have problems with installing.

[G0ldT00th]

Showing, I am sorry, let me clarify, once I got that error 9, I didn't actually proceeded, I stopped and posted here.  So you think I am safe to ignore the warning and go ahead and complete the installation?

[G0ldT00th]

Ok I went and tried to complete it.  Maybe I am wrong, maybe this mod is just not compatible with a Joomla SMF Forum Bridge (Joomla Hacks).  It failed to install and gave me this error.

Incorrect table name ''
File: /home/killerba/public_html/devsite/smf/Packages/temp/sbox_setup.php
Line: 83

This is the bit of code that is failing.

Code Select Expand

// drop table if it exists. Should make SMF-update 1.1rc2 -> 1.1rc3 easier.
$result = mysql_query("DROP TABLE `{$db_prefix}sbox_content`");

$result = db_query("
        CREATE TABLE `{$db_prefix}sbox_content` (
        `id` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
        `time` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL,
        `ID_MEMBER` mediumint(8) unsigned NOT NULL,
          `content` text NOT NULL,
          PRIMARY KEY (`id`))", __FILE__, __LINE__);

83 is the last line.
