I'm having trouble with shoutbox and SEF url's on.  Is there an issue with shoutbox and search engine friendly url's being on?  I did a search and did find anything to my surprise.  The shoutbox comes up fine but after a shout it isn't redirected properly.  Check it out http://www.ridesocal.com/forum/index.php   If you are a thread like http://www.ridesocal.com/forum/index.php/topic,510.0.html  it will return you to http://www.ridesocal.com/topic,510.0.html?  which of course brings up good old mr. 404


EDIT:  My guess is it has something to do with this in shout.php...

$context['qstr'] = "http://" . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . "?" . $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];

if (strcmp( substr($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], -7), "SSI.php") == 0)
$context['qstr'] = "http://" . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];

Hi Elliel,

I don't think this is a shoutbox problem really. You are just looking for ideas of what to place under it. You could move the newsbox there I suppose, but then you'll be left with space in the header section.

It obvious you've gone to some trouble with your template, but there are some obvious problems. The width of your forum is considerably wider than 1024px wide, so unless you have a wide screen monitor, you have to scroll across.

What you could do, I suppose, is make two fixed width forum templates, one for 1024px width monitors, and one for 800px monitors. You'd actually have all the main parts of the forum within the 800 or 1024px, and you'd have to scroll across to view the shoutbox. Just a thought. - It would keep your forum large (according to members particular monitors and resolutions), and would be putting the shoutbox in some extra side space.

I'd still have a default template that was dynamic, that included the shoutbox, and then they could choose one of the fixed width templates from their profile options in they so desired.


Hi

I didnt do anything to the width of the forum, it just came that way, so I don't understand why you say it's too wide :(  I use a laptop and I don't have the scrolling problem, it seems to fit my screen ?

*confused*

But yeah about the space under the shout box, that is exactly the problem, there's a bit empty space underneath but I don't know how to move anything there :)


Hi I still have the problem of having an empty space under the shoutbox to fill, but I have now been asked about something else.

The shoutbox is available to all members but the Moderators have asked if it were possible to have their own Mod only shoutbox, so we could make each other aware of stuff etc without having to PM.   I'm guessing that you can't install two shoutboxes on the forum... but on my main website I have a little free shoutbox installed which is about 100 x 300 pixels.  Is there some way I can add that to the forum under the smf 'official shoutbox' ?  Then the regular members could use the non-smf shoutbox and I could restrict the smf shoutbox to the mods and admin team?

Is that possible and if so, can anyone tell me how to insert it?  I guess it means changing the display template but I would need instructions :)

thanks in advance

Does anyone know why it doesnt apear?

Thank you

in admin, features, you can change the size of the box and the number of shouts to be displayed.  my shoutbox runs down the right hand side of the page and you can see them all fine without altering the font size, but if you want to change the font size it would probably be in the shoutbox template???

coldthunder

i looked in the shoutbox template and its not anywhere in there only thing you can change in size in there is the message box tiself, id like to change the font as its kind big, thanks for any help anyone can give
