Dude, I go to your site, I login with the credentials you gave me, and I see it. I don't know what else I can tell you.

Is there any way to change the announcement color?

The background color for the announcement?

[Michael]

What specifically do you want to change? The color of the text, the color of the box it is in?

[patriots1049]

The color of the box.. which is a greenish color I believe.

[Michael]

Edit the skin_shoutbox -> announcement skin template. You can change the class="message" to something else that sets the color to be what you want.

[patriots1049]

I have no experience with HTML coding. I know where to find that template, but could you give me an example of what to change it to?

[Michael]

Not without knowing how you want it to look, no.

[patriots1049]

I want it to look the same. I just want the color changed from that light green to a light blue (royal blue like).

[Michael]

The message currently is using a standard IP.Board class that defines that color. There isn't a standard class that sounds like what you're looking for. You'd essentially have to either write your own class that defines the background, border, and text colors, and the stuff like margins and paddings, or set all of those in a style tag in that template.

Alright thanks a lot. Looks like I'll be keeping that color until I learn some HTML.

Hello, can someone please tell me what skin edit i need to do to make smilies icon show on the same row as the Shout icon.

Thank you for the shoutbox is very useful.

Alright thanks a lot. Looks like I'll be keeping that color until I learn some HTML.

Look & Feel > Manage Skin Sets & Templates > Manage Templates in <Skin>

Click skin_shoutbox > announcement

You'll see this:

<tr id='shoutbox-announcement-row' class='row2'<if test="$hide"> style='display:none;'</if>>

<td class='altrow' valign='middle'<if test="$global"> colspan='2'</if>>

<div id='shoutbox-announcement-text' class='message'>

{$this->settings['shoutbox_announcement']}

</div>

</td>

</tr>

Change class='message' to something else, example:

<div id='shoutbox-announcement-text' class='annc'>

Now load up the ipb_styles.css file, look for this:

.message {

background: #ebfcdf;

padding: 10px;

border: 1px solid #a4cfa4;

color: #0e440e;

line-height: 1.6;

font-size: 12px;

}

Copy and paste it below, now change .message to something else, as with the other example:

.annc {

background: #ebfcdf;

padding: 10px;

border: 1px solid #a4cfa4;

color: #0e440e;

line-height: 1.6;

font-size: 12px;

}

Now just change background: #ebfcdf; to whatever color you want to use.

Just updated this with a patch for HTML parsing in the Global Shoutbox hook. You should definitely download and apply this update.

[Merlinscave]

Just upgraded to 3.2.3 and newest shoutbox.

When i want to create a new post and hit the image button my screen goes a bite on fade mode and nothing happens (i know there is a fix but cannot find it) If i disable shoutbox all is working normal

[Michael]

Then you probably have some customized skin template in this application which didn't get updated when you upgraded this app. Verify that you have no modified skin templates in the shoutbox sections.

Alright, i give up. I was hopping to get that icon in the same row as the "Shout" to save space but i just couldn't find where to make that change.

Hey got a problem with Chrome and the auto refresh. When I enter a new shout the auto scroll feature doesn't work properly in Chrome. It moves down slightly but cuts off the new message.

Works perfect in Firefox. any ideas?

[Michael]

Someone else mentioned this before, I couldn't reproduce it then, even on their site they said they had a problem with. I can only guess it is a browser issue, either it's got something cached or it's an outdated version.

People using IE 8 and IE9 are complaining that they cant shout on the shoutbox.

Is this a known issue?

[Michael]

I just tested it in both IE8 and IE9, both in the Global Shoutbox hook and the full Shoutbox application, no issues.

[Ichirō]

I want to move the shoutbox from the top of the index to be inline with the forum catergories, anyone shed some light please?

[Michael]

There is no option to do that currently.
