zLuckrØx. Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 Michael, on my forum I can not longer send in the shouts index only sends shouts when I'm inside some topic.
Michael Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 I wish there was some specific piece of advice I could give you. Evidently you've changed something on your site to cause this, as there's nothing built-in to the product that will have it just shut off in certain areas like that. All I can suggest is verify that you have everything uploaded properly, that you haven't made any incorrect edits to the skin templates or files for this app, and that you haven't added anything recently which might be conflicting with this.
zLuckrØx. Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 no no, I even restored a backup from two days ago and the error persists I'm just having trouble sending shouts within threads the index of my forum can not, already reinstalled 3 times I'll try one more time. edit: Michael could return to normal
bikerlifestyle Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 have installed 1.1.4 but cant seem to activate the shoutbox to be at the top of the index page, it appears as a text link in the links bar i cant figure out what i have done wrong as i would prefer the shoutbox itself to be visible rather than just a link many thanks mark
Michael Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 Do you mean the global shoutbox that appears at the top of each page? That is a hook, and must be enabled and configured. Go to the Manage Hooks page to make sure it is enabled, then go to the settings for the hook under the My Apps -> Shoutbox page to set it up.
AWantedHero Posted July 13, 2011 Posted July 13, 2011 Hey Micheal, I can't delete the shoutbox. I tried to delete and reinstall the shoutbox because no one could shout in it. Nothing worked. :P Please help!
Michael Posted July 13, 2011 Posted July 13, 2011 What happens when you try to uninstall it from the Manage applications & Modules page?
AWantedHero Posted July 13, 2011 Posted July 13, 2011 It says it's done uninstalling but when I go back to the "Manage Apps & Mods" it still shows the Shoutbox mod. Under "My Apps" it doesn't show any options for the Shoutbox mod also so yeah. :P
Michael Posted July 13, 2011 Posted July 13, 2011 You probably want to submit a ticket to IPS then, if the uninstaller isn't removing apps from your page then that's an issue with the uninstaller, which is part of IP.Board.
JahLion Posted July 13, 2011 Posted July 13, 2011 Michael i came across a little issue with the shoutbox main page,will when you click on the tab shoutbox and it bring you to the main page of the shoutbox the date,ads ect at the footer is on top of each other,the date and the copyright of the shoutbox are push to the left of the board also the ads is on top of the words.
Michael Posted July 13, 2011 Posted July 13, 2011 I'm missing a closing </div> tag in my copyright, that's already fixed for the next release.
JahLion Posted July 13, 2011 Posted July 13, 2011 I'm missing a closing </div> tag in my copyright, that's already fixed for the next release. Okay,thanks for the update. How can i fixed it in 3.1.4 please?

Josh DeVeau Posted July 13, 2011 Posted July 13, 2011 I'm not sure why but after turning my shoutbox back on it refuses to parse any bbcode, smileys work fine but nothing else does (links/bold/italic/etc...). I've tried changing the settings, turning it off/on again, upgrading to v1.1.4 and a couple of other things but nothing seems to work. Is there anything I can do other than reinstall it?
Michael Posted July 13, 2011 Posted July 13, 2011 None of the bbcodes work? Have you got all of your bbcodes set to work in the Shoutbox? Check on the 'BBCode Management' page in the Admin CP, edit each bbcode, and make sure you haven't unselected the Shoutbox from the 'Where can the BBCode be used?' section.
.Joe Posted July 14, 2011 Posted July 14, 2011 I would like it on the bottom but above the stats section. How would I do that?
Michael Posted July 14, 2011 Posted July 14, 2011 You could edit the hook's and change the hook point that it ties in to, but then you couldn't use any of the settings designed for the hook as they'll overwrite any changes you made to the hook itself. I can't give absolute freedom to let you position it wherever you want, the hooks system in IP.Board doesn't work that way.

I can't give absolute freedom to let you position it wherever you want, the hooks system in IP.Board doesn't work that way. Where do I edit to make it happen?
.Joe Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 Ok I figured it out...ACP > Applications & Modules > Manage Hooks > Shoutbox (Global) > Edit Hook > Hook FilesThe skin group this hook is in > skin boardsThe skin function this hook is in > boardindextemplateType of template hook > if statementThe hook 'ID' > cats_forumsPosition of template hook > (post.endif) However, I'd like it to extend across the whole width of the forum, with these settings it stops at the sidebar column. Any ideas on how to make it extend the 100% width of the forum? I tried putting it before the "showTotals" part but it just merged it into the statistics box and it was an ugly mess.
Michael Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 What you're asking for is outside of what the application is intended to do.
.Joe Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 Its not unreasonable to ask for advice on how to make the shoutbox appear above the statistics section on the index page. Do you have any tips on how to get my desired results?
Josh DeVeau Posted July 17, 2011 Posted July 17, 2011 None of the bbcodes work? Have you got all of your bbcodes set to work in the Shoutbox? Check on the 'BBCode Management' page in the Admin CP, edit each bbcode, and make sure you haven't unselected the Shoutbox from the 'Where can the BBCode be used?' section. I edited the URL BBCode, It's set to 'Available in all sections' so I tried selecting all of them instead but it broke it in all other sections.
Michael Posted July 17, 2011 Posted July 17, 2011 That you probably want to submit a ticket to IPS, selecting all of them individually should not break them in the other sections.
