Never have used the SSI_Shout  never heard of it, On my site we use ', smfshout(), ' and works just fine, no errors or anything..  There is NO SSI involved except in that fact that it uses the SSI File.

', smfshout(), '  if you look down a bit, I made a post that came DIRECTLY from my template code.

Nope!

Hi there,

i just found a bug regarding the max characters function.
It won't work if you type one single word  without spaces
and a length of more then three times of the maxlength setting.

Or with other words: When you type in one very long word and
have a quite low setting vor the maxlength seting the code will
do a maximum of 2 line breaks.

Example: max characterlength: 20
Break words after: 17

if you now type in a word of about 70 'W's this will happen:

wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww...
wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww...
wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww



solution:

change (in shout.php)

Code Select Expand

    while ($mlimit >= $mcounter)
    {
      $wordlength = strlen($message[$mcounter]);
        if ($wordlength > $modSettings['shoutmaxchr'])
        {
          $firsthalf = substr($message[$mcounter], 0, $modSettings['shoutsplitchr']) . '...';
          $secondhalf = substr($message[$mcounter], ($modSettings['shoutsplitchr'] - $wordlength));
          $returned = array_splice($message, $mcounter, 1, array($firsthalf, $secondhalf));
        }
      $mcounter++;
    }

to:

Code Select Expand

    while ($mlimit >= $mcounter)
    {
      $wordlength = strlen($message[$mcounter]);
        if ($wordlength > $modSettings['shoutmaxchr'])
        {
          $firsthalf = substr($message[$mcounter], 0, $modSettings['shoutsplitchr']) . '...';
          $secondhalf = substr($message[$mcounter], ($modSettings['shoutsplitchr'] - $wordlength));
          $returned = array_splice($message, $mcounter, 1, array($firsthalf, $secondhalf));
          $mlimit = count($message) - 1;
        }
      $mcounter++;
    }

If we add entries to the array then we should set the upper bound
again. right? 

regards
Nico

Well I dont know, but this is DIRECTLY from my boardindex.template.php file, and mine is working, so I am not sure what exactly is going on then.

Code Select Expand

        // Shout Box Start
        echo '
<tr>
<td class="catbg" colspan="2">"Shout Outs"</td>
        </tr><tr>
<td class="windowbg2" align="left" colspan="2"><span class="smalltext">', smfshout(), '</span></td>
        </tr>';

// If they are logged in, but SP1 style information is off... show a personal message bar.
        if ($context['user']['is_logged'] && !$settings['show_sp1_info'])
        {
                echo '
        <tr>
                <td class="catbg" colspan="2">', $txt[159], '</td>
        </tr><tr>
                <td class="windowbg" width="20" valign="middle" align="center">
                        <a href="', $scripturl, '?action=pm">
                                <img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/message_sm.gif" alt="', $txt[159], '" border="0" /></a>
                </td>
                <td class="windowbg2" valign="top">
                        <b><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=pm">', $txt[159], '</a></b>
                        <div class="smalltext">
                                ', $txt[660], ' ', $context['user']['messages'], ' ', $context['user']['messages'] == 1 ? $txt[471] : $txt[153], '.... ', $txt[661], ' <a href="', $scripturl, '?action=pm">', $txt[662], '</a> ', $txt[663], '
                        </div>
                </td>
        </tr>';
        }


So maybe ignore the SSI.php and use

Code Select Expand

', smfshout(), ' and see if that eliminates the errors and works for you also.

i tried to install it and kept getting erros about files, after chmodding them to 777 for the package manager to write to them i then got this error, in the white screen of death, lol, like the name?

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare smfshout() (previously declared in /home/chf/public_html/Sources/Subs.php:1822) in /home/chf/public_html/Sources/Subs.php on line 1829

[Jerry]

in your /Sources/Subs.php find:

Code Select Expand

function smfshout()
{
global $sourcedir;

include_once("$sourcedir/shout.php");
shout_display();
shout_form();
}
there are two, one right after the other... remove one

[ryanbsoftware]

in your /Sources/Subs.php find:

Code Select Expand

function smfshout()
{
global $sourcedir;

include_once("$sourcedir/shout.php");
shout_display();
shout_form();
}
there are two, one right after the other... remove one

ok thanks

perhaps the package should be updated, i got it from the smf package server.

edit: ok no erros, but no shoutbox...

[RedAlert2]

[Jerry]

mod work pefect you can see   at   forum.ocm.pl
thx

[Grudge]

You should only be using ssi_shout() for SSI integration, I don't know how it will work as part of SMF.

I need to find some time to correct a few things with this so people have less problems in the future.

[olli]

Is there a way to refresh the shoutbox without clickin refresh all the time? like when u go into a different section

[BabyGz]

Is there a way for making guest NOT see the shoutbox at all??..

I only got 2 options in the edit permissions panel.

"Can Shout"
"Remove Shouts"

So..You have to login..Then you will see the shoutbox..

[hypnoticpimp]

hey! where is the shoutbox? my site is http://nl.he4t.com [nofollow] but where is my shoutbox. it said everything installed correctly. but i dont see it! please help

[Alisha]

Ya know this thread is here to help you... Please Guys take the time to READ it... 

There must be 50 posts on why your shout box does not show up.  Simple answer, becuse you have not put in the smfshout line into your template. 

Take a few mins and read part of the thread before you post the same thing over and over. 

[hypnoticpimp]

alisha! Everytime i install the shoutbox! When i click on permissionit gives me errors! This is 1 in particualr "{Fatal error: Cannot redeclare smfshout"() (previously declared in Sources/Subs.php:2025)"

please alisha can you install it for me
