Download: Shoutbox

[Michael]

If I had to guess I'd say it's due to the RTL language you use on your site. I honestly don't know, as I don't use IE8 or an IP.Board with a RTL language, and IE doesn't give me very good developer access to see why it's causing that.

Yes, it does work fine in this version. I haven't touched anything with the code for this, so there's no way it could have stopped working. Here's me testing this on my site:

If you're expecting that changing this setting will change anything with existing shouts, it will not, it never did do that. In only gets checked when shouts are being submitted.

I gave you the link to the bug report for that. I confirmed that was a problem, I fixed it, it will be in the next release. I'm not sure why you're bringing IPS into this, they don't have anything to do with getting third-party resources to work.

Thank you Michael, it had to be turned off not on, all working fine for me now, your a star

Probably wont help but this is a screenshot of it :(

Michael, I did want to ask about the releases. You said that the post/edit box has been fixed for the final version of Shoutbox but I've only seen the first beta available for download in the Resources site. Has it been updated recently or has it went straight to the final version?

[Michael]

There are two versions of the Shoutbox out in the Marketplace right now. This is the topic for the 3.0 and 3.1 version of the app, which you can download here. The version for 3.2 is here, and is not in beta anymore. The other topic you posted in was probably the right one, that was the one for 3.2.

[Rheddy]

Thanks for providing a link to the version for 3.2.

lols Too many Shoutbox topics and none of them are labeled to a particular version. Maybe someone should correct the topic titles. lols

[Michael]

They each have their 'Supported IPS Software Version' field set to indicate which version they're for, but that probably doesn't get noticed as often as it should. Do you have any suggestions for how to better handle this, rather than going back to using prefixes for each mod?

[Morbidsheep]

Is this shoutbox compatible with google chrome? It seems to work good in firefox but gets stuck on the 'loading screen' on chrome.

[Michael]

I've had no problems with it in Chrome.

Hi there

Here's a puzzler.

I am testing a forums on 3 pcs. One using Firefox and the other two using IE9.

I have installed the new version of Shoutbox into 3.2. It is working fine on one of my IE9 and Firefox PCs.

But for some reason on the other one --- on a particularly wide screen --- the area of the Shoutbox that actually shows the posts, and the box where you type, are half the width of the area that the Shoutbox actually takes up. So there's simply some space on the right hand area. Rather strange. Any ideas on that?

Thanks

[Michael]

Had someone on another site say they had that on IE8, does it only do that in IE for you?

[dacho]

Yes. But, only on 1 computer. Another computer using IE9 and it's ok. Firefox seems ok here too

Thanks

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.

This was the reason I ended up removing it from my site, since the shoutbox is pretty much in the most targeted ad location for banner ads. Bottom of the main forum page would work for me. Other than that, it worked flawlessly...

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 4 bytes) in /var/www/ips_kernel/classDbMysqliClient.php on line 465

How can I either fix that or set the allowed memory size a bit higher?

It always happens when I want to call the shoutbox archive from even an hour.

[Michael]

I don't know why you'd be getting that error, I can seem to archive just fine. Is your Shoutbox very active, with like hundreds of shouts in that hour?

[Excalibur]

Wrong topic, i meant to post in the 3.2 Shoutbox topic.

A couple issues for some reason after i arranged my emoticons in the admin CP the smilies button doesn't work anymore and the bbcode button open us a page with an error.

Here is the BBcode button error...

Fatal error: Call to undefined method skin_gallery_global_12::bbCode() in /home/****/public_html/forums/admin/applications_addon/ips/gallery/extensions/bbcode/gallery.php on line 298

I'm not sure if the BBcode button error has to do with the smilies error but i do know re-arranging smilies caused them to disappear from the smilies drop down and now the drop down doesn't even work, i guess because I've rearranged all my smilies.

[Michael]

As the file that error mentions indicates, that is a problem with your IP.Gallery, not this app.

[The_Welsh_One]

How do you increase the size of the shoutbox so my members can view more shots without the need to use the scroll bar?

Love your work Michael, keep it up.

Thanks

[Michael]

There's no quick and easy way to do that, see my response here.

[The_Welsh_One]

Ok,

I think I've got my head around this, lol

I'll need to go in each file of the application and find 132 and I assume increase that number to make the shoutbox bigger?

[Michael]

Yeah, basically, but I wouldn't do this unless you're comfortable with it. This is something I'd like to add as a configurable setting at some point.

[The_Welsh_One]

I enjoy tinkering, if I was to accidentally break the APP, It will only be a case of re-installing. (I think) lol

Definitely add it as a setting when you get the time.

Hi,

Upgraded shoutbox, all seems to have gone well, can access management and tools configuration, and add group moderators etc, but if I try to change any 'Settings' like global configuration or online/offline it just tells me 'No group was passed. Please try again.' ideas?
