Download: Shoutbox

[Michael]

You probably want to talk to your host. The javascript files this app uses are not being loaded. Attempting to go to the shoutbox javascript file is resulting in a 403 error.

It's my own server. Now the js work fine (thanks..) but the problem still remain...

[na1926]

Ok Solved. I've the same problem on the Ajax.js in the public js folder.

Thanks for your patience, Micheal...;)

I'm getting an error with minimizing the shoutbox category on the index page. any time i minimize the shoutbox, it screws up the sidebar toggle and all the other categories that i minimized become un-minimized. it only happens on the index page and think it has something to do with the way the cookie is stored. i've been able to reproduce the error on some other forums so i'm pretty sure it's not just me

Thanks, this is a bug and it'll be fixed for the next release: http://invisionfocus.com/tracker/issue-329-issue-with-minimizing-global-shoutbox-on-board-index/

Michael, I don't know if this is just something with my site, but none of my members, including me, can submit a shout using the "Enter" key while viewing the Shoutbox through the tab. Do you know how to fix this?

Even when you have the option for this in My Prefs set to Yes?

Yes. I've cleared my cache, I've cleared my cookies, I've made sure the option is on, but it still doesn't work.

Edit: Never mind, I seem to have fixed it.

[Michael]

I just tried it on your site and it looked fine to me.

Oh, you fixed it. :)

I don't know why it did that, but I recached the skins and it started working.
Thanks for your precious time Michael.

Was curious to know, is there a way to change the color of the "fading effect" to something other than "yellow" and have it flash not so fast?

[Michael]

In the /public/js/shoutbox.js file, you have this line:

							new Effect.Highlight( td, { startcolor: '#ffff99' } );

If you change it to this: new Effect.Highlight( td, { startcolor: '#ff0000', duration: 2 } );
It will now start off red and fade out in 2 seconds. Play around with those the way you'd like to get the effect you're looking for.

When you type in the first three letters, do you then click on their name from the dropdown that appears to populate the member's name into that box?

Correct. I click the name of "Dan" which is one of three names available with "Dan" in them.

[Michael]

OK, try this. Edit /admin/applications_addon/other/shoutbox/modules_admin/manage/moderators.php. Find:

					if ( strlen($this->request['m_mg_id']) > 3 )

Change to:

					if ( strlen($this->request['m_mg_id']) > 2 )

Save and upload.

Ahh great.. thank you for that

Michael, is there any way you can add a feature to the Shoutbox that prevents "image" and "video" embedding in the shoutbox? I've been looking for that feature but I realized that it doesn't exist. Is there any way to add this to the shoutbox?

manage bbcodes in ACP->look&feel, edit media(NOT MY MEDIA) and image and select areas to be used, specifically excluding shoutbox shouts.

[Rheddy]

So, I'm looking for a setting that's part of the Shoutbox settings, that's easy to manage, not being forced to go through several clicks in order to enable or disable something. I'm hoping that Michael can add this to the standard Shoutbox settings. I just don't feel comfortable messing around with the BBCODE settings.

[Michael]

I don't have any plans to add this to the Shoutbox settings. The bbcode management system is designed for exactly this sort of need. If I added something to the Shoutbox settings, I'd have to take these existing settings into consideration, and figure out some way to make them not conflict.

Anyone know if its possible "yet" to have shoutbox show up on an IP.Content page?

[forum@vuurwerkbelgie.com]

Micheal, now I have a problem with the resize border to resize te shoutbox (bigger / smaller).. It not working anymore.
Rebuilded my caches etc. Can't figure out what the problem is.. Bug?

Edit: Reloaded shoutbox.js.. Problem solved :/

Edit:

Yes. I've cleared my cache, I've cleared my cookies, I've made sure the option is on, but it still doesn't work.

Edit: Never mind, I seem to have fixed it.

This is not working op my site.. http://bit.ly/nEdG8P @Shoutbox tab.. Proberly the text-editor?

[Rheddy]

Thanks, Michael. I just wanted an easier way to toggle it on or off from the Shoutbox settings.

[Michael]

Anyone know if its possible "yet" to have shoutbox show up on an IP.Content page?

It should be possible now, but only on pages that use the IP.Board wrapper. Just either show the Global Shoutbox hook on all pages, or use the whitelist feature to select which pages it shows on.

I love the shoutbox, and it's great of you to take it onboard and maintain it for everyone, thank you.

I have a small problem, i had the previous shoutbox version and just upgraded my forum and the shoutbox today.

I have enabled all of the application and its hooks, and yet under the shoutbox settings, i am still missing two options on the left side (they are showing up on my localhost fresh install) that allow you to move the position of the shoutbox etc.

Also, when going to SETTINGS - Shoutbox there is one option there that says it should have 8 setttings inside (i think) when clicking this, it is empty.

Thanks for any help you can give :)

[Michael]

Start by doing this, then make sure you have uploaded all of the files for this new version, visit the Manage Applications & Modules page in your Admin CP and click the Recache Apps & Modules button.
