Ultimate Shoutbox

[L0relei]

The first one is where is the file that I can do the translation

Modifications.<your language>.php
Open the file .mod in the package with a text editor and search for :

Code Select Expand

<edit file>
$languagedir/Modifications.english.php
</edit file>

<search for>
?>
</search for>

<add before>After these lines is the text to translate.

and the second if possible where is the place so i can change the backround colour.

shout.template.php

[Menni]

Can someone tell me what should I modify to make shoutbox look like my chatboard? Meaning colors. Now it is way too dark.

[CrayZ]

I found the file and I did the translation so I went to uplad it one the server and I saw that the file is like this: shout_v111.33.tar.gz

WinRar can extract files from the tar.gz but can't put them back again  

I tryed to find if i had a Modification folder or something on my server but Im sure that the shout_v111.33.tar.gz that this is the source of them mode or not  

I don't know  

[vodkarev]

you can create a zip file with winrar... or do what I did... do a manual install

[L0relei]

CrayZ, it seems that you didn't understand what I was trying to explain. The file .mod tells you the text to translate, you just have to copy the translation in the file Modsettings.<your language>.php

echo '
<p><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=shout_archive">', $txt['shoutbox_43'], '</a></p>
</center>';

Where should I put this to make it on same line with shout! and messagewindow?

[Prasad007]

I really prefer chat over a shoutbox. Thanks tho. Nice mod!

[ToyDozer]

Who can help me or atleast explain to me why I have so much blank space below my "view all" "message" and "shout" fields.

If in my shout.template.php file I remove

Code Select Expand

</form> from the tables conclusion it gets rid of most of the wasted space though in doing that it ofcourse fouls all sorts of things up. Heres how it looks and heres the code block from my shout.template file...

Code Select Expand

function template_shout_form()
{
global $context, $settings, $options, $txt, $user_info, $scripturl, $modSettings, $ID_MEMBER;

echo '
<center>
<form action="', $scripturl, '?action=shout" method="post">
<input type="hidden" value="', $context['qstr'], '" name="qstr" />
<input type="hidden" value="" name="email" />';

if ($user_info['is_guest'])
{
echo '
<input type="hidden" value="0" name="memberID" />
<input type="text" value="', $txt['shoutbox_6'], '" name="displayname" maxlength="100" onfocus="this.value=\'\'" /><br />';

if (empty($modSettings['shout_noGuestEmail']))
echo '
<input type="text" value="', $txt['shoutbox_7'], '" name="email" maxlength="100" onfocus="this.value=\'\'" /><br />';
}
else
echo '
<input type="hidden" value="', $user_info['name'], '" name="displayname" />
<input type="hidden" value="', $ID_MEMBER, '" name="memberID" />';

echo '
<td>
<input type="text" value="', $txt['shoutbox_8'], '" name="message" size="60" maxlength="300" onfocus="if (this.value == \'', $txt['shoutbox_8'], '\')this.value=\'\'" /><br />
</td><td>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="', $txt['shoutbox_9'], '" />
</td></tr></table></form>
</center>';

Thanks in advance for any assistance...

This mode just look grate thanks 

Thank you L0relei for the big help.

Now next question 

Is any way so we can insrert a link for the smileys 

I think this will be great because for a fourm that has lots of smileys is hard to remember a code for all of them.

Any one any idea 

Thanks 

[Menni]

Can somebody help?
What should I modify to align shotbox text to left side of the box?
Now text is in the middle?

[CrayZ]

Go tou your Admin Pannel and then go to Features and Options and then go to Shouts and there is a place Scrolling direction probably has to be left 

I used this one http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=8415.765 the code from L0relei and now look grate.

I think you have to create a new shout.template.php with his code and disable scrilling from dhe admin menu. It will be greate i think.

[Menni]

Go tou your Admin Pannel and then go to Features and Options and then go to Shouts and there is a place Scrolling direction probably has to be left 

No, that is the scrolling direction. I mean text align in the shotbox.

[CrayZ]

That's whay I told you to crate a new shout.template.php tha one that L0relei posted and the text will go to the left.

[sobers_2002]

hi guys

i posted above, i think i found a little of the problem. I am using 1.0.6 board, and opening the mod edit files, leads to the fact that the editing format is probably according to the latest one and hence can't be done for the 1.0.6 board. So can som1 gimme a package file for 1.0.6??? or perhaps explain me how to edit the modsettings.php according to the latest package??

thanks
Saurabh

[Aitsukai]

I don't suppose you could help me here?

I'm using 1.1 RC2. I've got a JavaScript thingy set up to open a new window with the shoutbox, and a link in the top navbar to direct to said JavaScript thingy. The thing is, what should I make it open in the JavaScript window?

Thanks any help. ^_^;
