Kvnfo Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 http://community.inv...ost__p__2219122 I saw this, but i'm not sure what PHP's strftime to use. Link to comment
Michael Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Oh, sorry, you were asking to do relative dates. No, this app doesn't have any quick way to allow those. Link to comment
Kvnfo Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Ah ok, would be a cool function. You should consider it! :) Link to comment
TMC Creed Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Hey i saw that you put some steps on how to fix the shoutbox and i tried them twice and the shoutbox still doesn't work :(. Link to comment
Dmacleo Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 you have set the permissions for the user groups right? each member group needs to be allowed to use it. they can see it but not do anything unless permissions are set. Link to comment
TMC Creed Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Yes i did that as well Link to comment
stetye Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Hi peeps i too have the same problem with the ajax refresh always on and when it comes to the shoutbox timing out i can't click the button to put me back on as that seems to be floating over the site and as you move up and down that follows. I do have a little work around if you don't want to remove the shoutbox and start from fresh. it's simple and easy. Download 1.2.6 remove 1.2.7 from your server and upload 1.2.6 and your done. no need to downgrade or remove the mod... happy days :D Hope this will work for you as it's done for me ;) Link to comment
Michael Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Version 1.2.6 and below will likely lead to resource issues and possibly getting your account suspended, downgrading is not a solution. I touched nothing with making the button move around the page like you're describing in this version, there is no reason 1.2.7 would cause that. It sounds like you probably have similar javascript issues that can be solved by running the steps I posted here. Link to comment
Dmacleo Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 I had to allow the icon to show, save, then turn it off and save again to make it stop popping up. seemed like cache issue to me. also I am running memcache I noticed this version really wants to have load from database checked. those with issues may want to look that ?

stetye Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 For me i've not had anything coming back about my site being resource hungry ( can't say that for everyone ) so for me just doing that has helped me out and put the shoutbox back working without losing anything. I've only just seen that there was an upgrade so as you do download and install then after a while that's were i noticed i had a problem. So as you do check the support topic and see if there's a fix, which i've not been able to see one so i seen if this would work for now until it can be fixed. I will re-upload the new version and go through the steps you posted and will see if that helps. As always great mod :D Uploaded the files again and went through steps 2 and 3 refreshed the site and always well and working For those who are still having trouble try deleting the shoutbox files and upload the new ones and go through the steps which michael posted and that should fix your problem.

Michael Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 There'd be nothing I could do about the issue of needing to save settings repeatedly to make them stick, that's all IP.Board. I can't speak for whether or not you have to load from the database if using memcache, but that makes sense if the different caching methods maybe don't like to work with this app. Fortunately, you do have the choice of loading from DB or cache.

I don't think people remember or think about that setting which is why I mentioned. Link to comment
shaks Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Michael, i can't wait for you to release the bug-free and updated releases. I don't know about IPS hosted forums, but i've seen your mod on all the IPB forums i'm registered at, so you must be doing something right. Also, can someone please tell me where is the option to remove the "Shoutbox" tab from the top forum menu, where it says "Forums, Members, Shoutbox". I don't see the need for the Shoutbox tab, since the shoutbox itself is already configured to show up in all forum pages. Also, i don't want to encourage my members to hangout only at the shoutbox page, as i would prefer they keep browsing the forums while participating in the omnipresent shoutbox. For my community, i want the focus to be on posting in the forums, but the shoutbox is somehow easier, faster and maybe more appropriate for trivial chats, so they both work well together.

Michael Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 What needs updated about this? I posted instructions about what people can do to fix their javascript errors and asked that they PM me if they do not work. To date I have received 0 PMs following up on that. As far as I can tell, this is the bug free and updated release. I'm seriously getting very tired of dealing with all of the "fix the bugs in this app!" posts, for this app no one pays a dime for, but you all expect me to take time out of my day to support, at the expense of my commercial products. Like all applications, you can disable the tab from appearing in your navigation bar by editing the application in the Manage Applications & Modules page and using the Tab Permissions tab.

Dmacleo Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 go to acp-manage applications and modules- click pencil icon next to shoutbox and under tab permissions click yes to hide. Link to comment
GodDon Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Set the ajax refresh rate higher if it's refreshing new shouts too soon for you to read through all of the old ones. well then wouldnt that wait til that number to post all the shouts inbetween? the shoutbox (imo) should be instantly. and we have members actively using it at all times. it would prolly not benefit to do it that way.

Dmacleo Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 you're looking for a way to freeze the main page while reading? could just click-hold slider and irrc it does not move. Link to comment
Michael Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 In order for it to be instant, it would be an even bigger resource hog. That's not feasible. Link to comment
Guest Reystar Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Is there a way to move the timestamp on the left next to the names? Its really nicer and better if you write big sentences...... like that Link to comment
Volstate Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I have a small custom skin issue. Instead of showing the small icon to open in a popup window it's showing the words "Open the shoutbox in a popup". Can anyone offer me a fix so it'll show the icon? Link to comment
Dmacleo Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 folder publicstyle_imagesmastershoutbox needs to be also uploaded to each skin you use. Link to comment

Dmacleo Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 usually by editing it. :) sorry could not resist saying that :) :) I'm terrible.. :) Link to comment
