When editing a shout we are transfered to the shoutbox application ... is it possible to change this, editing a shout and stay on top of the forum app?
IPB 3.3.4 & Shoutbox 1.3.3

[Michael]

No, due to changes IPS made to the javascript needed to load the editor.

hello I see that there's a filter problem to view the archive on a site and I have been unable to fix it again as this did happen before that I did not record of how I fixed it (I forgot how) but I think that there is a field or so that have incorrect data in the database causing the filter to load forever. I did try Database Index Checker in ACP but it seems no support for it and it does for Database Checker?

It's a pity ... but thanks anyway for your quick answer :)

What exactly are you doing in the archive when you encounter the issue? It seems to work OK for me.

on global hook using theme 2 with Top of each page as position, what determines the width of the text entry bar?
would it be in skin_shoutbox_hooks - hookGlobalShoubox

want to see if I can widen it a bit and align the buttons to the right

[Michael]

The input and buttons are this code in that template:

						<td class='altrow' valign='top' colspan='2'>

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

							<input type='button' id='shoutbox-submit-button' value='{$this->lang->words['shout']}' class='input_submit' />

							<input type='button' id='shoutbox-clear-button' value='{$this->lang->words['clear']}' class='input_submit alt' />

							<input type='button' id='shoutbox-refresh-button' value='{$this->lang->words['refresh']}' class='input_submit alt' />

							<if test="$this->settings['shoutbox_allow_smilies']"> <input type='button' id='shoutbox-smilies-button' value='{$this->lang->words['smilies']}' class='input_submit alt' data-clicklaunch="populateSmilies" data-scope="shoutbox" /></if>

							<if test="$this->settings['shoutbox_allow_bbcode']"> <input type='button' id='shoutbox-bbcode-button' value='{$this->lang->words['bbcode']}' class='input_submit alt' /></if>

							<input type='button' id='shoutbox-myprefs-button' value='{$this->lang->words['my_prefs']}' class='input_submit alt' />

						</td>

appreciate it :)

Probably a stupid question but is it possible to shift the shoutbox to the top of the gallery page without to much hassle ?

changing the 70 to 120 seemed to be good compromise for me, works on both theme 1 and 2 with all skins for me.
Thanks Michael.

Thanks Michael, it was set to every page (top) and even re caching did not alter it, However I changed from top to bottom and fine, changed back again to top and now on every page which is fine for me..I must read the FAQ in future :thumbsup:

[Leo Light]

an issue randomly arose today. For whatever reason, When a shout is submitted, it does not appear until the page is refreshed. What could be causing this? How can I fix it?

I have it turned off right now, so if it is something you can take a look at, let me know and I will give you acp info so you can duplicate issue.

[Dmacleo]

possibly an issue with the js upload?
I would first try re-uploading all files

[Leo Light]

Yea, I was one version behind, so I upgraded to the latest version, and the issue still existed. So, really weird man.

[Michael]

It's likely caused by either a skin template having old/bad code or a javascript file being outdated. Try the steps in the Shoutbox FAQ about rebuilding the skins.

[Leo Light]

I have actually followed all those steps in the FAQ. I rebuilt the skins, and re-cached, and am still experiencing the same issue. It appears that all my files are intact as well.

[AndrewJPage]

Hey, i have the shoutbox installed on a dark theme. It has white lines running through it to seperate each shout and doesn't look brilliant. I'm just wondering what file I have to edit to change the colour.

Thanks! I take it there's no easy way to change the scroller to a darker colour?

[Michael]

Sort of, but not really:

[AndrewJPage]

yeah i'll just leave it. Thanks for your help

[Zone Plate]

I have tried to add the box to:

forum index/topic index/posts

but unless you are a skinner, I don't see how this is possible for the average admin. Could you post an example of how to get the shoutbox on top of these three pages?
