Sounds like you're seeing the same thing these folks were saying here:

Michael, I forgot to ask but if you release a patch, Currently the shoutbox tab remains on the board even when it's disabled but I was wondering you could give us the option of hiding it?

Thanks for your help.

[Michael]

You can hide the tab through editing the application in the manage Applications & Modules page.

Hello, Michael. How can I go about adjusting the width of the shout input box? I'm trying not to affect the global class of:

.input_text, .ipsTagBox_wrapper {

background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #FFFFFF;

border-color: #848484 #C1C1C1 #E1E1E1;

border-radius: 2px 2px 2px 2px;

border-style: solid;

border-width: 1px;

padding: 4px;

}

Does anyone know how to change the height of the shoutbox sidebar hook?

Just find the following line in hookGlobalShoutShoutboxSidebar file:
<div id='shoutbox-shouts' style='height: {$d['shout_height']}px; overflow-x: hidden;'>

change the {$d['shout_height']} to the number of pixels... example:

<div id='shoutbox-shouts' style='height: 250px; overflow-x: hidden;'>

Are you referring to the input textarea in the Global Shoutbox hook?

I don't know what i can tell you about "Since upgrade my shoutbox it look weird', since you don't explain what is weird. As far as the sidebar hook, the text has always appeared under the user names.

[Michael]

I already answered that question in the post immediately below the one you quoted.

[KevinMc]

Indeed I am. :D

[Michael]

If you adjust the column width of the table cells in that area, the textarea should widen as needed. Look in the skin_shoutbox_hooks -> hookGlobalShoutbox skin template, and find these two rows:

               	 <td class='altrow' valign='top'<if test="$this->memberData['g_shoutbox_use']"> style='width:75%'<else /> colspan='2'</if>>

                   	 <td class='short row2 altrow' style='width:25%' valign='top'>

The first one is the width of the main area showing all of the shouts, the second is the section with this input box. Just adjust these values so the second column is wider or narrower as needed.

I think my files was mess up so i remove it all and done a fresh install instead

...the second is the section with this input box. Just adjust these values so the second column is wider or narrower as needed.

Hmm, I tried adjusting that, even taking it out completely and no change.

[Michael]

This is what I see when I adjust them to both 50%:



Which browser are you using? Maybe it's a browser issue.

[KevinMc]

Which browser are you using? Maybe it's a browser issue.

Doubtful, but Firefox 7.0. Like I said, I even took that entire row out and there was still no change. I'm using theme 2 so maybe that the reason?

[Michael]

*Smacks forehead* I should have thought maybe you weren't using the same theme as me. OK, so the width of the input box on Theme 2 is this line:

                       	 <input type='text' id='shoutbox-global-shout' size='70' class='input_text' />

Change the 70 there to something bigger or smaller as needed.

Awesome! Thanks, Michael!

I am curious if it would be possible to have the shoutbox displayed on an IPContent page? If so, how?

Is there a method to install shoutbox for the mobile skin in addition to the default skin? If it's something that has been done before I'd love to save some time.

[Michael]

No, so much of the app relies on features (javascript, ajax) that may not be available when viewing the site on a mobile browser. You'd essentially have to keep manually reloading the page if you wanted to see if any more shouts came in.

[outkastz]

Ahh, because the full version runs nearly flawlessly on the full version skin on most mobile devices with webkit browsers. My users have been pushing for an app JUST for the shoutbox so I've been trying to figure out the best way to go about it.

Michael, I appreciate the quick response.

[Michael]

I filed a suggestion in my Tracker for this:

http://invisionfocus.com/tracker/issue-411-mobile-skin/

Note, though, if I do implement this it's only likely to happen for the current (IP.Board 3.2) version of the app, not this one for IP.Board 3.1.

[outkastz]

That should be expected. The work you do is greatly appreciated.

[Josh8]

Will this shoutbox work for 3.2.2?

Yes.
