Ultimate Shoutbox

[jerm]

k , i like this.. good job on making it
and sorry if this has already been asked, but going through 31 pages of posts to see if this has already been asked would take ages :|
in IE it only loads the small box that you set it to.. but in firefox it loads everything.. so your page basicly becomes very large for the spilt second it takes to load the page, then the "shoutbox" becomes the size that you set it to.. is this something that can't be fixed?
do you understand what im asking?

-edit-
cause of that, the page doesn't open smoothly in firefox as it does in IE
-end edit-

electrohome88,

I'm guessing this is due to not having some size constraint on the bounding box? I'm not sure what HTML you are surrounding the shoutbox call with - but maybe you could try forcing the enclosing td/div to a certain width? The other option is to play with shout.template.php but I think surrounding it would be easier?

PS - I'm on holiday in a few hours so don't expect any more replies from me for a while

stormLyd - you can use SSI to include it ANYWHERE on your website. Simply search for SSI here. I've mentioned a lot in this topic to check out ssi_examples.php which is in your forums directory - that shows how to use the shoutbox in SSI mode.

the require installed and when i try to use the "ssi_shout();" i get

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: allowedto() in /home/stormlrd/public_html/rhcforum/Sources/shout.php on line 31

trying some of the others gets the following:

for : "ssi_logOnline();"

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: writelog() in /home/stormlrd/public_html/rhcforum/SSI.php on line 624

for : "ssi_recentPosts();"

Template error
Failed to find block 'file_line'(#(<!-- BEGIN file_line -->)(.*?)(<!-- END file_line -->)#s) in :


This is the themes.php on my cpg and the vars in question are commented out

Any help for my previous post in page 31 in this topic ?

[Yngwiedis]

I have also another problem.

I create a blank php page with this code :

Code Select Expand

<?php require("/home/hellasd/public_html/yngwiedis/forum/SSI.php"); ?>
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>

<body>
<?php ssi_shout(); ?>
</body>
</html>

I upload that page to my site's root.
I go to that page and i post some test shouts.
OK with that. Then i click on the X to delete a shout and is redirecting me to my forum boardindex.
I try several times but every time its the same.
I upload the page to my forum's root too.
Same problem...
I dont know if this helping with my other problem too but i think is good to post it.

[jerm]

when someone is banned from the boards, but only banned for posting, the person can still post in the shoutbox, think thats fixable?

Hey, how can I change the shout box's scroll?  I don't want it to move on its own and I want it to use scroll bars instead.  I have been working on it but I am not the best when it comes to PHP.

[jerm]

flood control would also be a nice addition

If you know HTML & CSS, you can use a div with overflow: scroll instead of marquee.  You can easily change it from shout.template.php

[Sheepy]

I was looking for ways to reduce number of queries in my forum (like disabling avatar download count...).  I managed to eliminate the need for a temporary table when you show the shoutbox in ascending order.  It's a use of MySQL's UNION ordering feature:

Just replace
"SELECT * FROM {$db_prefix}tempsb ORDER BY ID_SHOUT ASC"

with
"(SELECT * FROM {$db_prefix}shoutbox
ORDER BY ID_SHOUT DESC LIMIT ".$modSettings['shoutlimit']. ")
UNION
(SELECT * FROM {$db_prefix}shoutbox LIMIT 0)
ORDER BY ID_SHOUT ASC"

And remove the temporary table above & below, and that's two less queries and one less table.

Enjoy.  Too bad it can't help me since I'm using decending order. 

P.S. I haven't tested, but I believe this should be a bit faster since there are less overhead - most complications are handled internally by MySQL, with less interprocess communication, php function calls and status check.

Any updates for 1.1beta 3?

Any updates for 1.1beta 3?

Works

[Grudge]

Actually, I lied. It appears the update didn't work with 1.1 Beta 3 - it does now

Also, I've updated this to 1.3.1 which includes the following improvements:

• Option to not require email addresses of guests
• Option to enable autorefreshing of the shoutbox through xml (Will increase server load)
• A few speed improvements (As Sheepy posted), although 1.3 already had them - from page 22(ish)

And it also works with Nesiastyles' Simpleportal running on 1.1 Beta 3!
