The first 'shoutbox' link you have there is to your IP.Chat install. Edit that application and change its Public Title to something other than Shoutbox.

The settings for it should show up if the hook is enabled. You're sure the hook is installed, and enabled?




Yes is enable.. I see also active user into board statistic... but I have manually installed this hook..

Only problems I can't configure it..

[hook] active ... is missing..

Whether you manually installed the hook or not makes no difference, the code that determines whether or not the settings shows just looks for the hook key, which is always going to be the same. If you can PM me FTP and Admin CP info for your site I'll see what's going on.

Hi there,
first, thank you for that app. Its awesome.

But I have a problem with unregistered users. I want my shoutbox to be public. It is public. The problem is, that every USER gets the name "Guest". Is it possible that they can choose a name?

Posted

No, there is no built-in way to do that. With posts, there is a text box guests have to enter a user name in, there's nothing similar for this.

Brilliant! This update fixed a few issues I was having with load time and such with 1.1.3. Thank ya very much!

Edit:

Hmm, for some reason this breaks the (RedEnzian) Collapsible Forums modification. Is there any way to look into why?

Would it be possible to change the error message guests see?


I want it to say something like, "Register now to gain access to the Shoutbox."



Just edit the appropriate language string in the Shoutbox languages section.

I wouldn't know, I've never used that other mod.

Love the shoutbox, but the one major issue I am having with it, is that it disables the ability to post comments properly in my invision blog.

To let you know some background detail, here's some info on my setup:

- i am using the latest version of ipb (3.1.4), the latest blog version (2.3.2), and the latest shoutbox version (1.1.4)
- my shoutbox is set specifically to be positioned at the bottom, below posts, and on every page of the forum
- when i wrote invision support about blog comments not working, they disabled the "display shoutbox on every page" option, and comments magically worked again

I was hoping with version 1.1.4 of the shoutbox installed (did it about an hour ago), this comments in the blog issue issue would be corrected. If you have any suggestions on how I may get blog commenting working with the shoutbox being enabled on every page, i'd be super grateful. Having the shoutbox on every page helps stimulate more convo in it, so ideally i'd like to have it on every page. Thanks in advance for your help!

I did notice that if i type into the comments area of the blog, and then refresh the page (this is in firefox 4.0.1), and then hit send, the comments work (with the shoutbox set to display on every page). Ideally though i shouldn't need the refresh step to be able to post the blog comment.

That was already reported here:

http://community.invisionpower.com/topic/326667-download-shoutbox/page__view__findpost__p__2111904

I'll be looking into this for the next update.

Thanks for the info Michael, using the info, I was able to set the exclusions rule and just add:

app=gallery
app=blog

so that it would not show up for the gallery or blog (i didn't realize that it also disabled commenting for the gallery).

When you do release the fix, I'm guessing the commenting for all the affected areas should work? Thanks again for the info.

Unfortunately there is no easy answer to that. The Global Shoutbox hook has a setting for where it can be positioned, and that overrides the normal steps for changing a hook's position. You could edit the hook manually, but it would be overwritten whenever your settings recache.

Michael,

I think this was asked before, but in a future version, could we have a way for members to chose a fixed color for they shouts?
I came from vB and my members where used to this and are always asking for this.

Thanks
