I'm assuming you're referring to the Global Shoutbox hook. If that's the case, you can edit it in the skin_shoutbox_hooks -> hookGlobalShoutbox skin template.

Hello, yes, I am talking about the Global Shoutbox hook that spans across the width of the page at the top. I have played around in the hookGlobalShoutbox template but can only seem to get anything to appear either above the chat lines or below. What do I need to be looking at to try and get something to appear on the side? It can be inside the shoutbox itself or not.

Thanks.

Any customization you want done to the templates is up to you, I support the app the way it is designed. You're going to have to experiment with that template if you want to change how it behaves.

Sorry if this has been asked before. This thread is huge hah. But any idea why some of my members will see 5 shouts at a time (visible without scrolling), while I see 7 1/2 lines. Using the same skin and same browser.

Probably because they have dragged the bottom of their shotbox down. Hover over the bottom until you see the cursor change and the drag it.

If you wish to set a minimum, you can easily alter on of the templates hookGlobalShoutboxSidebar

find

<div id='shoutbox-shouts' style='height: {$d['shout_height']}px; overflow-x: hidden;'>[/CODE]

replace with

<div id='shoutbox-shouts' style='height: 400px; overflow-x: hidden;'>

to make it say 400px long There is probably as simply way to alter the value of shout_height, but in my quick search last night I did not track it down. The other change I amde was in the shoutbox.css I changwed

.sidebar_shout_div {

padding: 5px;

border-bottom: 1px dashed #d5dde5;

}

to

.sidebar_shout_div {

padding: 5px;

border-top: 1px dashed #d5dde5;

}

to move the dotted line divider to beneath the shout rather than in the middle of it. Looks more logical IMHO.

[trancehed]

Oh, wow I didn't even realize you could expand it like that. Thanks :)

This has been mentioned before, repeatedly. Thanks, you just made the topic even bigger, and thus the next person is more likely to post rather than read too.

Sorry for the additional "Enter key on Shoutbox" post, but is it possible to use the INCLUDE specific pages on the pages list on the Global Shoutbox settings to imitate a dedicated shoutbox page like the default page?

[Michael]

I don't understand the question.

[Michael]

Just released another quick update to fix some bugs and add a few new features:

• Could not add member to BAN LIST in Admin Control Panel
• Archive - skin issue
• pages list in global shoutbox
• Member avatars
• Auto Prune "All shouts"
  

[Elly]

For example, if I have IP.Content and want to create a custom page and include the shout box there, is it possible with that feature?

[Michael]

In theory, yes, you should be able to make the Pages List setting work for any page on your forum, including in IP.Content pages. It's complicated to do this, though, especially in IP.Content. I've tried to tweak the text for this setting in the latest release to clarify how to use that setting.

[Michael]

Woops, slight issue with the /public/js/shoutbox.js file, please re-download and get the new version of that file if you already downloaded 1.2.3 prior to this post.

[Josh DeVeau]

That shouldn't matter. 1KB in the setting equals 1024 single-byte characters, so just use whatever number of KB would correspond to the number of characters you want.

Thanks for the info but the way I understand it is that setting isn't going to allow me to limit it to any number lower than 1024 characters, which is what I'm trying to do.

You don't have to use a whole number, you can use a decimal if you want to allow fewer than 1024 characters.

Michael, a member on my forums just made a very observant comment about the Shoutbox. Apparently, when you edit the BBCODE under Look and Feel and you stop videos and images from being displayed in the shoutbox, the "My Media" button in the "post editor" box still allows you to embed media into the Shoutbox. Has this been fixed or is there a fix to this?

[Michael]

I think you're in the wrong topic, the My Media button is a feature in 3.2. That would be an issue you'd need to address with IPS, the same would hold true anywhere the editor is used.

[Babis92]

how my geuests can't see the shoutbox?

[Michael]

Do you allow your Guests group to view the Shoutbox? I can view mine fine as a Guest when I enable that group setting.

[Axel Wers]

Shoutbox (Active Users) v1.2.3

This adds a list of active users in the shoutbox on your board index

I have this hook enabled, but I don't have this list on board index. Doesn't work since Shoutbox 1.2.x installed.

[Michael]

Have you set your group as being permitted to see it? Have you recached your skins?

[Maxhunter]

I still cannot reproduce any such issue in the Global Shoutbox hook, they use the same emoticons.

sorry dear :sad:
This is not only my site problem
i try it with new ipb installation on server and local host please look my screenshots its new installation and it not working with ipb default smilies <_<

<_<

All other smilies are working well so the problem with > , < these characters my be it is the problem with java replacement i dont sure about the prob

" alt="" class="ipsImage" width="1000" height="355">

Ok, now it works. I simply updated settings (nothing changed).

[Rheddy]

lols ... You're right. Sorry, Michael.

Finally I can reproduce the problem with the <_< emoticon. See if this fixes it. Open the /admin/applications_addon/other/shoutbox/modules_public/ajax/coreAjax.php file, find this code:

   	 /* If in the global shoutbox, we don't need to have the editor process this */

        if ( !$this->request['global'] )

        {

            $shout = $this->library->editor->process( $shout );

        }

Add this immediately below it:

   	 else

        {

            $shout = IPSText::htmlspecialchars( $shout );

        }

Save and upload.
