I'm using SMf 1.03 and I can't see the shoutbox on my forum. Is there an option somewhere that I need to turn on or something?

[SaikoJosh]

Sorry I just looked through this topic and I found out why.

IamV, you want to do exactly this. Create a blank PHP page like:

Code Select Expand


<?php
require_once('smf/SSI.php');
ssi_shout();
?>


I am still having this problem.

And set the source of the IFRAME to be this PHP page, easy as that

I did what you said & the iframe just loads as the full index page where the shout is located.

Grudge is there a way to make the username bold when using SSI.php?

It's hard to tell where the post begins cause all the text looks the same. TIA

Just discovered something--I noticed that when I played with settings of the Shoutbox on IE, I got it to where I wanted, but I tried it on FireFox, and the shoutbox just ends up on the otherside of the screen. Is there a code I can use to fix that?

It just sounds like you've slipped up with your html somewhere.

i'd like this too.

I'm sorry but you've got the code quite wrong, both the PHP and HTML is up the spout. In the template_shout_box() function you'll probably want to put:

echo '<div><div style="float: left;">';

at the top, put:
echo '</div></div>';
at the very bottom.

And in that function, after this line:

Code Select Expand


if ($modSettings['enablescrollshout'] == 1)
echo '
</marquee>';


Put something like:

Code Select Expand


echo '</div><div style="float: right;">';


I'm no expert at HTML, but that should give you the starting point...

just modified the shoutbox template page using your suggestions and it is almost perfect.

Just need to pull the shout button over with it  and it will be fine.

i installed this one and i get this error:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare smfshout() (previously declared in /homepages/20/d107436098/htdocs/bb/Sources/Subs.php:2082) in /homepages/20/d107436098/htdocs/bb/Sources/Subs.php on line 2089


now i cannot even see any topic, how do i delete this mod or fix this problem?

thank you.

[Nitro]

so if i upload upgrade smf package this means ALL my mods will be gone? OH NO!  you are talkikng about the smf upgrade, right?

[Nitro]

i thought about what you said, and it might not work for someone else, but since i could not cope the idea of upgrading the whole thing, i thought about this must have another solution! the problem was i installed this mod and unistalled it, THEN installed back again and it gave the error on the subs.php so, the solution i thought about was this:
download the updgrade version for smf
and i only uploaded the subs.php and guess what happened...
IT WORKED!!!! it was able to keep ALL my mods, game arcade, etc, etc!
it is all there, so i went to the package manager and unistalled this mode.
everything works now, MAN! i got worried for a moment!

thank you. too bad it didn't work in my forum, i'd love to have this cool MOD. i have seen it working and i like that!

You have installed it twice. Upload whole upgrade package to your forums and you should be fine.

edit: and of course, there should be uninstaller in package manager. That wont help if you have installed many times.

This does not mean they have installed it twice all the time, with the shoutbox for some reason the package manager modified Subs.php twice a few times on my forums .  All you need to do is open up /Sources/Subs.php and search for

Code Select Expand

function smfshout()
{
global $sourcedir;

include_once("$sourcedir/shout.php");
shout_display();
shout_form();
}
and there will be 2, and delete 1 of them -.-

[Nitro]

i tried that one first, and but still was giving me another error about parse or something. so i delete it the subs.php and upload an new one and it worked somehow. i wonder what is this subs.php for?
thank you
