Download: Shoutbox

[bikerlifestyle]

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying.

when i click on the BBCODE button on the shoutbox, chrome automatically directs me to the above URL
however when using FF i can access BBCODE but under movie trailer it says
[trailer=Download Title]
http://url.to/file.ext
[/trailer]

and under iframe it shows a porn site?

Sounds like you have something wrong with that trailer bbcode you added. All this app does is load up IP.Board's standard bbcode help page when you click that button, if doing that causes odd issues like you're describing then those issues are related to the bbcodes on that page, not the button you clicked to load it.

update, just looked in BBCode settings and these seem to be coded in as examples, i am removing them now

it was the quicktime, windows media and movie trailer tags, causing the problem, i have deleted them and its all good :-)

Many Thanks
Mark

I added a bug to your tracker (with the help of invision support). If you use shout box and nexus with ssl there is an infinite loop on the Billing Information screen. As soon as you disable the shout box hook (global) it goes away.

[Michael]

If there's a page the Global Shoutbox won't work on like that, use the hook's settings to blacklist that page.

Excellent, i will give that a try, thanks.

Can you remind me how I move the shout box to the bottom of the page please, I can't seem to find the setting?

Thanks

Yes I don't have the hooks in the settings screen. Have tried reimporting but still no change.

[Michael]

Look at the posts directly below the one I just linked you to, that guy had the same problem, do what I suggested there.

This topic is getting so long because I have to repeatedly answer the same questions over and over, it seems like half of my responses are me linking to another post I'd made to answer the same question again. Now I know why this app gets dropped by developers.

[BN_IT_Support]

I did read all of thread and followed your suggestion - but it still didn't work, hence my post.

Sorry to have bothered you!

[Michael]

Then I don't know what the problem is.

Just installed, works great Michael, thanks :)

I'm a tad confused how I can add this to my download portal, I have that as my frontpage (edited initdata.php) - I've specified to show the shoutbox only on pages I enter in the pages list and wanted to show it on the board index and download portal but can't for the life of me remember what the "act=" would be for those.
Would appreciate any advice, thanks in advance and thanks for looking after this mod Michael :)

app=downloads

[markopolo2002]

Thanks for that Michael, just realised that now shows the shoutbox on all download pages, would there be a way to have it show only on the portal in the way as board index, even if it means altering the "downloadsportal" template or something
Cheers

Untested, but try this:

app=downloads,module=display,section=index

I may have not read everything or sounding stupid atm...But how do I get Shoutbox 1.2.0 to display on the main forum page.Thanks

[Michael]

By adjusting the settings for the Global Shoutbox hook. And please do take the time to read through this topic, I have referred several people to this same place already. Every time I have to repeat myself, it makes the topic even bigger and leads more people to not read through this before asking questions.

[NorthBayRPG]

I understand...Im sorry you have to repeat it again and again..However Im not showing a Global Shoutbox hook on my hooks page. Is that normal or..?

[Michael]

First check the Disabled Hooks tab to see if it's there. If it is, enable it. If it's not, make sure you have uploaded all of the files for this application then click the Reimport Application Hooks button.

Micheal, got a problem with Internet Explorer 8 and Shoutbox hook theme 2:



Theme Recache, rebuild, hard refresh does not work..

The width is not 100%... @ Internet explorer 8, Possible to fix this?

[Michael]

Someone else mentioned that too, since Internet Explorer is very non-standards compliant, you often issues like this. And since they don't give me good information on what CSS rule is causing that, I have no idea why it does that. I don't know what the fix is for it, besides using a browser that more closely follows web standards for how to display elements, like Firefox, Opera, or Chrome.

I think it has to do with theme 1, because the shout field at theme 2 in IE8 is at the same place as in theme 1. But only the post functios are below the shouts and not at the side of it..
When using theme 2 it needs to have a width of 100% and a clear.
